Summary

While there are hundred of cheese books available, most are large, weighty tomes with cheeses arranged by country, which means readers have to know where the cheese is from or search through a confusing index to find it. THE CHEESE LOVER'S COMPANION is the most comprehensive, indispensable, user–friendly A–to–Z guide that includes everything about cheese. Included are entries from Asiago to Zamorano; cheese terminology; information on how cheese is made along with tips for pairing cheese with wine and beer. The small, handy format makes it easy to take the book along when choosing and buying cheese.

But sometimes, we don't even pay attention to what we're eating and putting inside our bodies. Most people now are eating unhealthy types of food like fast food, junk foods, processed foods, and the like. If you are interested in making positive changes to your lifestyle, you should consider gluten-free living. Chances are you've probably heard of the word "gluten" or the terms gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity and the sickness called Celiac disease in the past few years. You're probably wondering what it's all about. Gluten is actually an ingredient found in several types of grains including barley, rye, spelt and wheat. Gluten is not necessarily bad except if you have Celiac Disease. If you have CD, you really should not eat anything with gluten because gluten causes a reaction that destroys the lining of the small intestines. This would prevent it from absorbing almost all of the nutrients. This audiobook will serve as your guide on how you can start eating gluten-free. It will show you information about recipes, health benefits, and support you can get when you switch to this lifestyle. In this audiobook, you will learn about the following: - What is Gluten-Free Living? - Why is Gluten Free Living a Good Idea - Shopping for Food and Eating Out - Recipes Gluten problems can affect many people of all ages. It can wreak havoc in your gut if you have CD and gluten sensitivity but even if you don't have this, you're not missing any vital nutrients by not eating gluten. A lot of people have readily embraced this lifestyle choice. If you want to be one of them but have no idea how to start or don't have all the information, scroll up and click "add to cart" now.

    “Anne Dimock is the Proust of pie and her remembrance of pies past is meant to inspire the pies to come. This is a lovely and elegant memoir.” —Garrison Keillor, bestselling author and host of A Prairie Home Companion  
     
    In America, pie is a food—and a concept—that carries unusual resonance. In Humble Pie, Anne Dimock offers a delightful combination of memoir, pie quotes, inspiration, recipes, travel writing, and assorted philosophical, cultural, and culinary musings on this powerful yet humble dessert. 
     
    Anne Dimock grew up in a household where, she notes, “A dearth of good pie was a hardship I never encountered, never knew must be borne up by most folk.” When she realized that the decline of the American pie civilization might be a harbinger of even deeper cultural problems, Anne became a woman on a mission to save pie from extinction. 
     
    Dimock shares her thoughts on the Zen of making pie crust, the politics of pie, judging a man’s character according to his pie protocol, state fair pie competitions, the kinship between pie and baseball, and the search for edible pie at roadside diners. 
     
    Folksy and full of humor, Humble Pie is more than just an evocative journey through a life lived in pie. It is a culinary manifesto for a pie renaissance, inviting readers to take up their rolling pins and revive an endangered slice of American culture. Dimock advises us all to “Roll back the apprehension, the doubt, and enter the childlike state of grace where all things are possible and anything lost can be found again. The pie you seek resides not only in memory and imagination—your next piece of pie begins right here.”
