Summary

Master the art of double knitting to produce reversible, double-layered, multi-coloured knits. In its simplest form, double knitting is a form of colour work that creates a dual-layered, two-sided fabric, without there being an unattractive or float-ridden 'wrong side'. It is therefore different to any other knitting technique and can mystify novices and experienced knitters alike. Demystifying Double Knitting takes the mystery out of the process with step-by-step explanations of the key techniques, illustrated with detailed photographs. Once the fundamentals are mastered, you can then learn to move beyond basic stocking stitch and introduce texture, shaping and even non-mirrored designs to your work. Whether you're new to the technique or simply want to understand it better, this book offers an accessible introduction to double knitting and a celebration of the creative opportunities it offers.

    Learn to make artisan pizza the American way in this ultimate guide to the perfect pie from the creator of "the best pizza in New York" (New York Times). Pizza is simple: dough, sauce, cheese, toppings. But inside these ordinary ingredients lies a world of extraordinary possibility. Dan Richer has devoted his life to discovering the holy grail of pizza: the secret to making a truly transcendent pies. The pizza at his restaurant, Razza, has been named the best in New York by The New York Times—despite the fact it’s in New Jersey. Richer’s pizza is among the best one can eat in America, if not the world. For him, the joy of pizza begins with the crust—a rim that is crisp, deeply caramelized, and shatters when you bite through it. The crumb is delicate and floral-scented, with a gentle note of acidity. The crust has large, open holes separated by thin, pearlescent cell walls. And the sauce, cheese, and toppings? You’ll unlock their mysteries inside these pages. Every day, Richer assesses his pizza with a 56-point rubric that helps him come as close to pizza perfection as any mortal may dare. In The Joy of Pizza, Richer shows how to achieve each one of these ideal pizza attributes in recipes suited to home bakers and professionals alike. He includes instructions for making doughs with commercial yeast as well as sourdough starter, and for baking in ordinary home ovens as well as high-temperature ovens such as the Ooni and Roccbox, and even wood-fired outdoor pizza ovens. The book is rich with step-by-step photography, and features QR codes linking to instructional videos and portraits of every pizza before and after it meets the heat of the oven—so you’ll know exactly what to do to create superior results. The ingredients are simple. The methods are straightforward. And the results are deliriously delicious.

    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.
