  Discover the rich history of San Francisco’s coffee culture from its roots in the nineteenth century to today’s celebrated artisanal roasters.   San Francisco was booming in the mid-nineteenth century, and along with adventurers seeking their fortunes came sacks of green coffee beans. The old Yerba Buena Cove swiftly filled with ships, and the city emerged as the third-largest coffee port in the United States.   What followed was the rise—and local demise—of the “big three” coffee roasters: Folger’s, Hills Brothers and MJB. Specialized Bay Area roasters like Peerless, Peet’s and Blue Bottle sprang up in their wake, while places such as Tosca’s, Caffé Trieste and the Blue Unicorn blazed the way for modern coffeehouses. In Bay Area Coffee, Monika Trobits explores how the humble coffee bean became an ever-evolving stable of San Francisco Bay.

The Mediterranean diet isn't all breads, grains, and pasta -- it includes plenty of fish, chicken, lamb, vegetables, and fruits. Against the Grain includes recipes for everything from light bites, such as tapas, soups, and salads, to hearty entrees and sides. The ingredient lists are supermarket-friendly and prep time is minimal, so busy home cooks can whip up healthy meals in minutes, every night of the week.In addition to classics like Fresh Tomato Soup with Moroccan Spices, Chicken Cacciatore, and Pan-Seared Shrimp with Romesco Sauce, there are innovative, exotic new dishes like Grilled Skewered Lamb with Mint and Garlic Pesto, Pork Medallions Marinated with Olives and Orange, and Roasted Red Pepper and Feta Soufflé.One of the basic principles of the Mediterranean lifestyle is that everything should be enjoyed in moderation. In Against the Grain, no foods are forbidden or totally off limits. Instead, you'll find formerly "sinful" ingredients like rich cheeses, potatoes, rice, fragrant nuts and oils, and wine incorporated into savory meals. Yes, the recipes are healthy and nutritious, but, more important, the dishes in Against the Grain are hearty, satisfying, and flavorful.

  These Delicious Recipes Will Protect Your Heart And Your Brain 
  This collection of two cookbooks is a lifesaver for you.Fad diets come and go. One year everyone is going low-fat, the next year everyone’s trying to reach ketosis by eating bacon and butter, then everyone’s suddenly obsessed with juices… and judging by the fact that the obesity epidemic is still there, most of these miracle diets don’t work. 
  However, scientists decided to cut through the noise of dietary trends. They took the diets with proven health benefits and tried to find what really made them effective. 
  Here’s what they’ve found. 
   All scientifically proven healthy diets encourage you to eat less meat, more veggies, and more healthy oils. You don’t have to go fully vegan but most of your food should be plant-based.This prevents heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers. 
   But how do you start eating healthier? If you’re not a professional cook, chances are that you know about five recipes and most of them are either meat-based or something like mac and cheese. 
  These two books will expand your culinary horizons and teach you healthy cooking. The first one focuses on the scientifically approved Mediterranean diet whereas the second book offers a variety of strictly vegan recipes. 
   Here’s what makes these books special: 
  ·     The variety of recipes: you’ll find both timeless classics and fun, creative meals 
  ·     Rich colorful illustrations 
  ·     Precise step-by-step directions 
  ·     No advanced cooking skills or special equipment needed 
  ·     Expert tips on how to modify the recipes according to your taste 
   If you’re not ready for a fully vegan diet, you’ll still find the vegan cookbook valuable.
