One of the Washington Post’s Best Cookbooks of the Year: “Just reading it puts me in a very happy place.” —Nigella Lawson   Designed with fetching retro patterns and illustrations alongside luscious photography, this cookbook features blue-ribbon recipes inspired by baking pamphlets from the 1920s to the 1960s, rendered with irresistible charm for modern tastes. Here are more than fifty cookies, pies, cakes, bars, and more, plus informative headnotes detailing the origins of each recipe and how they were tweaked into deliciousness.

Expect to find revamps of classic standards like silky Bavarian Pie with a Mexican Hot Chocolate twist, rich Devil’s Food Cake with espresso undertones, and a glossy chocolate- and ginger-glazed update of Molasses Doughnuts.” —Bake From Scratch Magazine   “Ms. Sheehan has elevated vintage baking and cooking to a fancier standard.” —GeekMom

    The Mountain State's irregular borders and rugged geography are home to a fascinating mix of cultures, landscapes and foods. West Virginia's culinary history is rooted among the native fauna and flora that early residents hunted and foraged, and the taste of pawpaws and ramps is familiar across the state. Immigrants brought international flavors to Appalachian cuisine, resulting in local traditions like moonshine and the iconic pepperoni roll. Historian, author and West Virginia native Shannon Colaianni Tinnell explores a history that is still being written by a new generation hungry for tradition and authenticity.

    This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
  
  
Book 1: Since you landed on this page, you have probably been wondering what intermittent fasting is, or why so many people have used this lifestyle to become healthier. Well… you’re at the right place, because this book will tell you all about that! 
Topics in this book include trends, the choice between a low-carb and a low-fat diet, exercising during periods of fasting, brain detoxing methods, junk food addictions and why it’s so irresistible, portion control, and lots, lots, lots more. 
Do yourself a favor and learn about all these health facts, so that you, too, can enjoy the benefits of these great truths. 
  
  
  
  
Book 2: What are the real benefits of intermittent fasting? 
  
The answer might surprise you, as it extends far beyond the biological aspects of allowing your intestines to reboot. There is a psychological factor that helps people lose weight faster too. Another aspect is clean eating, which is a concept that helps people boost their nutrition and become healthier in general. 
  
Moreover, everyone is different and will, for this reason, experience the effects of intermittent fasting differently. 
  
If you’re curious about these effects and other variables that make intermittent fasting such a promising method, then I encourage you to take a look at this book now.

    Twelve-time New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman, MD, presents his unique Pegan diet—including meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists. For decades, the diet wars have pitted advocates for the low-carb, high-fat paleo diet against advocates of the exclusively plant-based vegan diet and dozens of other diets leaving most of us bewildered and confused. For those of us on the sidelines, trying to figure out which approach is best has been nearly impossible—both extreme diets have unique benefits and drawbacks. But how can it be, we've asked desperately, that our only options are bacon and butter three times a day or endless kale salads? How do we eat to reverse disease, optimal health, longevity and performance. How do we eat to reverse climate change? There must be a better way! Fortunately, there is. With The Pegan Diet's food-is-medicine approach, Mark Hyman explains how to take the best aspects of the paleo diet (good fats, limited refined carbs, limited sugar) and combine them with the vegan diet (lots and lots of fresh, healthy veggies) to create a delicious diet that is not only good for your brain and your body, but also good for the planet. Featuring thirty recipes and plenty of infographics illustrating the concepts, The Pegan Diet offers a balanced and easy-to-follow approach to eating that will help you get, and stay, fit, healthy, focused, and happy—for life.
