Summary

“A discussion, in everyday language, of the things—including foods—that can help reduce the risk of dementia along with enticing and achievable recipes.” —The Dementia Network 
 
The increase of the average lifespan is a triumph of modern medicine. On average, we can expect to live ten or twenty years longer than our grandparents’ generation. These extra years are a wonderful bonus, but also impose unprecedented challenges to our bodies and brains. Recent scientific investigations have uncovered foods and ingredients that can help protect brain cells from damage by oxidation and inflammation and keep the systems that support them working as well as possible.  
 
In Brain Food, dietitian Ngaire Hobbins, an international authority on nutrition for aged care, presents a compelling argument that the food you eat can make a big difference to your quality of life as you age. Included in the book is the science behind these food choices and an assortment of recipes for categories such as: Power mealsFast saladsSnacks and drinksSoupsFruit and sweet thingsAnd more!  
 
There is no magic pill (and beware of anyone who claims a simple solution), but there is evidence-based advice on foods and lifestyle strategies that can give your brain the best chance of peak health. Combined with inspiring recipes that offer optimal nutrition for brain health and can be adapted for households for singles to larger families, Brain Food is the lifestyle guide you need as you, or those you love, grow old.
Available since: 09/24/2019.

    The author of An Embarrassment of Mangoes offers “a mouthwatering slice of Caribbean culture” in this blend of travel memoir and cookbook (New York Post).   While sailing around the Caribbean, Ann Vanderhoof and her husband Steve track wild oregano-eating goats in the cactus-covered hills of the Dominican Republic, gather nutmegs on an old estate in Grenada, make searing-hot pepper sauce in a Trinidadian kitchen, cram for a chocolate-tasting test at the University of the West Indies, and sip moonshine straight out of hidden back-country stills.   Along the way, they are befriended by a collection of unforgettable island characters: Dwight, the skin-diving fisherman who always brings them something from his catch and critiques their efforts to cook it; Greta, who harvests sea moss on St. Lucia and turns it into potent Island-Viagra; sweet-hand Pat, who dispenses hugs and impromptu dance lessons along with cooking tips in her Port of Spain kitchen.   Back in her galley, Ann practices making curry like a Trini, dog sauce like a Martiniquais, and coo-coo like a Carriacouan. And for those who want to take these adventures into their own kitchens, she pulls 71 delicious recipes from the stories she tells, which she places at the end of the relevant chapters. The Spice Necklace is a wonderful escape into a life filled with sunshine (and hurricanes), delicious food, irreplaceable company, and island traditions.

    A cookbook that captures the fresh ingredients, pungent spices, and creativity of Louisiana Cajun cooking—from Coush-Coush to Crab Jambalaya to Syrup Cake. Cajun cooking is a melting pot of flavors. From gumbo simmered all afternoon on the stove, to Jambalaya aux Ecrive (Crawfish Jambalaya), to sweet pralines for dessert, the recipes of La Cuisine Cajun reflect the creative Cajun tradition. La Cuisine Cajun will have you cooking like a true Cajun—no matter what your ancestry! A complete cookbook, it contains recipes that are a pleasure to prepare, with clear instructions to guide every cook, from novices to gourmets. After each recipe, author Jude Theriot offers a bit of “lagniappe” (something extra)—tips about freezing, storing, and serving. A calorie count is also included for all recipes. While La Cuisine Cajun is not a “diet” cookbook, this unique feature is helpful for calorie watchers. Try Crawfish Bisque, Baked Trout Vermilion, Quick Turkey Jambalaya, Cajun French Fries, and Pain Perdu (Lost Bread or French toast), and you’ll begin to explore the possibilities La Cuisine Cajun has to offer.

The Art of Romanian Cooking celebrates this rich heritage with a variety of dishes that make inventive use of commonly available ingredients.  Thinking back on her mother’s and grandmother’s cooking, Galia Sperber was inspired to share some of the family's favorite recipes, paired with reminiscences of her native country and family meals.  This volume features appetizers such as papanasi prajiti (savory fried cheese patties) or croquette din salam (salami croquettes); hearty soups ranging from creamy potato to the six variations of borscht; seafood dishes such as Russian-style trout; classic meat recipes for chicken, duck, veal, and beef; and irresistible dessert like the Othello torte and rose jam.

    Match your drink to your download for the best viewing experience.
During lockdown, we've all discovered the joys of streaming, catch-up, and box sets on TV. Coincidentally perhaps, some of us have also seen "wine o'clock" creeping ever earlier into the day. Why not make the most of both pleasures with this guide to what to drink as you watch. Try a Dirty Don martini to evoke the "Mad Men" era in Manhattan, or feast on a Blood and Sand while catching up with "Big Little Lies". Watch Scandi noir thrillers with a Danish Bloody Mary, or accompany "The Crown" with the Queen's favourite tipple, a Gin & It. "Say Yes to the Dress" demands a glass of Something Blue, while a Red Wedding Blood Martini is the perfect way to warm yourself when "winter is coming." With these recipes for 50 cocktails and mixes, you can easily match your tipple to your TV favourites. Cheers!
