Summary

A dervish's training begins in the kitchen. The preparation and festive consumption of food is intrinsically connected to the spiritual practice of Sufism. Sufi Cuisine offers a sumptuous assortment of dishes inspired by the teachings of the thirteenth century Sufi mystic Rumi, alongside selections of his sayings and parables. Lavishly illustrated, it brings together more than one hundred easy to follow recipes – from chickpea soup and lamb served with plums and sweet spinach, to desserts including candied rose petals and almond halvah, followed by Turkish coffee.

This delightful cookbook provides a unique window into a rich cultural history. It is the ideal introduction to the transformative art of Sufi cooking – restorative for the stomach, spirit and soul. Combining culinary history with over one hundred sumptuous recipes inspired by the teachings of Sufism, Sufi Cuisine takes the reader on a sensuous journey of earthly and spiritual delights. As Nevin Halici explains in her introduction, the eating and preparation of food is at the heart of Sufi religious practices and beliefs, and the truly inspiring array of dishes - from preserved rose petals and snow helva, to baklava prepared with water in which oak ashes have been soaked overnight - illustrates this beautifully.

Full of charming anecdotes, poetry from the great Sufi mystic, Mevlana, and delightful recipes, Sufi Cuisine is a rare treat.

    Reflections of a Vintner recounts the lessons learned, relationships forged, and observations made from an insider's nearly fifty-year journey through the burgeoning wine industry in Napa Valley. From the mid-seventies, when there were less than fifty wineries, to the present, with over eight hundred, Tor Kenward shares his recollections as the region became a world-class wine destination. 
 
 
 
In addition to the wine knowledge Kenward imparts, the vintner shares stories of his friendships with legends of the modern American food and wine scene, including Julia Child, André Tchelistcheff, Andy Beckstoffer, and Robert Mondavi, among others. 
 
 
 
In the October 2021 Judgment of Napa, TOR Cabernet was judged to be #1, outscoring legendary Bordeaux châteaux, Napa Valley, and international peers by leading critics and sommeliers. TOR wines, coveted by connoisseurs worldwide, received seven perfect 100-point ratings from leading critics for their 2018 Napa Valley wines. 
 
 
 
With Kenward's impressive connection to Napa Valley and his legacy of creating inimitable wines, Reflections of a Vintner offers entertaining insights into an often intimidating and complex but highly enjoyable world.

    Are you tired of trying (yet failing) to lose weight? Have you tried other diet plans but found them too difficult to follow? Want a no-nonsense approach to healthy eating that can help you lower your blood pressure and lose a few pounds? 
If you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension, you may be at risk for strokes and possibly heart attacks. 
You may even already suffer from symptoms of hypertension such as severe headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue. 
So, if a healthier lifestyle can help to reduce (possibly even eliminate) the symptoms of hypertension, why do we find it so hard to make that permanent switch to eating a healthy diet? 
Well, tell me if this story strikes a chord: You start a new diet, and you stick to it for a few days, maybe even a few weeks. But eventually - between the confusing food measurements and strict calorie counting - you soon let that brand-new diet fall by the wayside. 
If this story sounds all too familiar, then this audiobook, DASH Diet Weight Loss Motivation, was made just for you. 
That's because with the DASH diet plan, you - and millions of people around the world - finally have a practical dietary program that can help you manage your blood pressure and lose weight!
