Summary

Cooking with Leftovers reimagines the way we view uneaten food, transforming scraps into culinary opportunities while tackling the global crisis of food waste. At its heart, the book champions a simple yet powerful idea: sustainability and creativity belong side by side in the kitchen. Blending environmental urgency with practical solutions, it reveals that one-third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste—a staggering statistic with both ecological and financial consequences. Through this lens, the book revives time-tested traditions from cultures like Italy (think ribollita) and India (chaat), showing how resourcefulness has always shaped delicious meals.

What sets this guide apart is its flexible, empowering approach. Instead of rigid recipes, it offers adaptable templates: roasted vegetables morph into frittatas or grain bowls, while proteins become global dishes like Thai larb or Italian risotto. Chapters build from foundational techniques—flavor balancing, safe storage—to strategic meal planning that intentionally creates "planned leftovers." The final sections provide themed meal blueprints, such as root-to-stem dinners, and inventive holiday leftover makeovers.

Written in a conversational tone, Cooking with Leftovers balances hard data with kitchen creativity, appealing to eco-conscious cooks and budget-minded families alike. By framing waste reduction as a gateway to culinary exploration, it turns everyday ingredients into inspiration, proving that sustainability can be both flavorful and fulfilling.

The Bells of Mirkbridge

N Poh

This tale weaves faith, horror, fantasy, and historical detail into the sodden marshes of Mirebridge, where seven women have died in seven weeks beneath the chapel altar—hands consumed by inner fire, eyes turned milky white—while the bells ring day and night untouched by mortal hands. Lord Stephern, a massive knight of a Crusader House bound by oath to the Church, and Sir Bessian, his keen-eyed and articulate companion, arrive at Father Berengar’s summons to conduct a deliberate investigation. They examine the bodies, interview the bereaved, and follow fresh tracks into the fog, only to face root-wraiths beneath an ancient oak that breathes like a living thing. Their efforts are hampered by Lady Horst’s lawful claim to the land, her armored guards, and her open disdain for the Church’s tardy response, creating friction between ecclesiastical duty and noble prerogative, prayer and practical security. A measured story of evidence, conviction, and steadfast resolve against an old, marsh-born evil.Meta Description (149 characters) 
Historical fantasy of faith and duty: knights investigate bell-tolled murders in Mirebridge amid Church-noble strife and marsh-rooted horror.

A Wild Path

Douglas Wood

A Wild Path is author Douglas Wood's highly anticipated followup to the critically acclaimed memoir Deep Woods, Wild Waters. He again leads listeners along a meditative path through a wilderness of many dimensions—from the lakes and islands of his beloved Canoe Country to rugged ocean coasts to a mountain chasm, from camping on the Canadian Shield to listening to the soft strains of Beethoven in the pines, and from the pain of childhood wounds to appreciation for a life rich with nature. 
 
 
 
With the generosity and compassion of a good wilderness guide, Douglas Wood welcomes listeners to accompany him as he navigates his life-path from struggling student and "worst reader in the class" to prolific writer and bestselling author. He offers courage and hope to those who feel different or left behind, and he shares how he found, through the counsel of rocks, trees, and waters, his own way toward joy and wonder and an unshakable sense of belonging. 
 
 
 
Exploring the meanings of myriad outdoor experiences, Wood seeks to understand the importance and existence of beauty, the emotional poignancy of a wilderness sunset, and the realization of dreams, while also honoring his outdoor and literary mentors, including Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold.
