This book was released on with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PRECIOUS DISCOVERY As it was summertime and holiday period, I started renovating my parents’ house. With trembling emotion I came across some maps and notebooks that timeworn—some were culinary recipes, others were tips for the household, written by my great grandmother—Tudora and completed by my grandmother Elena. Probably between 1918–1924, judging by its appearance, it had been written and used in a school for girls, where household courses were taught (teachers had studies in this field and diplomas were awarded). After a time of great emotion, I realized that it would be good to let those around me know about my discovery, especially since I noticed a historical coincidence, the year 2018 being a centenary of the Great Union Day that every Romanian celebrates on December 1st. Among the writings forgotten in the attic and discovered by me, there were books of theological courses and a watch that belonged to my mother’s father, Efrem Ionescu—priest and Conservatory graduate. An outstanding figure of his time and region (together with Saint Calinic, he founded the church in Bueşti, Ialomita), he was spoiled every day of his life not only by his grandmother Elena (teacher of tens of generations), through the joy of the healthiest and tastiest food, but also by his mother—Paraschiva and his mother-in-law—Tudora. It was like going back in time. One of the notebooks is presented to you today to make use with the pleasure of the recipes and tips of the 1920’s, but also to compare these recipes with others, collected in time. The book is in fact a basis for what was commonly eaten in those times. Of course, I will also publish in a subsequent volume the other recipes I discovered, but I decided to present, above all, this booklet, taking advantage of the relaxing moments offered by the summer. This is how it is that today, almost 100 years after its writing, my great grandfather’s book makes sure we will not forget what the main recipes and tips in any settlement were. The pages of today’s booklet are packed with photos from which it appears that their way of socialization was much stronger than today’s. The housewives of the time excelled in culinary arts, competing in the preparation of the dishes, enjoying them every week when they met in the family. At one point, the communists seized power and confiscated their assets, many of them inherited; only a few objects have escaped, and the scars still remain now, only to be transformed into stars. One of the pages of the booklet presents the confiscation report and shows what was taken exactly at some point. However, what belonged to education and, in essence, to the main heritage of the family, was saved. Read the book to find out much more... Cristina Popa Tache

Her cookie jar was filled with our favorite snickerdoodles or chocolate chip cookies, and there was always a frosted layer cake in the cake stand. So many delicious memories! From Grandma's Recipe Box is chock-full of all these recipes and more, shared by cooks like you, handed down through generations and still enjoyed today.

Book excerpt: This is not a book about what it’s like to be old. It’s about what it’s like to have lived. There is no food quite like a grandmother’s time-perfected dish. Inspired by their own grandmothers – and the love they shared through the food they served – Anastasia Miari and Iska Lupton embarked on a mission: from Corfu to Cuba, Moscow to New Orleans, and many more in between, they set out to capture cooking methods, regional recipes and timeless wisdom from grandmothers around the world. The result is Grand Dishes, a journey across four years of cooking with the world’s grandmothers, a preservation not just of recipes but of the stories – told through the dishes – that have seasoned these grandmothers’ lives. Featured alongside are contributions from celebrated chefs and food writers, each with their own grandmother’s recipe to share. Rich with the insight that age brings, elegant portraits, diverse recipes, and techniques unique to a region, a grandmother and her family, this is a book to pass down through generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 6 million copies sold! The classic Christian novel of the crucifixion and one Roman soldier’s transformation through faith. At the height of his popularity, Lloyd C. Douglas was receiving an average of one hundred letters a week from fans. One of those fans, a department store clerk in Ohio named Hazel McCann, wrote to Douglas asking what he thought had happened to Christ’s garments after the crucifixion. Douglas immediately began working on The Robe, sending each chapter to Hazel as he finished it. It is to her that Douglas dedicated this book. A Roman soldier wins Christ’s robe as a gambling prize. He then sets forth on a quest to find the truth about the Nazarene—a quest that reaches to the very roots and heart of Christianity. Here is the fascinating story of this young Roman soldier, Marcellus, who was in charge at the crucifixion of Jesus. After he won Christ’s robe in a game of dice on Calvary, he experienced a slow and overpowering change in his life. Through the pages of this great book, the reader sees how a pagan Roman was eventually converted to Christ. Set against the vividly drawn background of ancient Rome, this is a timeless story of adventure, faith, and romance, a tale of spiritual longing and ultimate redemption . . .

Download or read book Made in Italy written by Giorgio Locatelli and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2011-03-22 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Giorgio Locatelli started helping out in the family restaurant at age five. He was raised in Corgeno in northern Italy, close to the Swiss border and Milan. Almost everything his family ate and drank was produced locally. He was told by the head chef at his first real Italian restaurant job that he would never make it as a chef. His grandmother, who shared her great love of food with him, said Giorgio would have to go back and show him. And so he did. After getting suspended from cooking school because of kissing a girl on the school's steps, he went on to become a greatly admired chef. Made in Italy is a 624-page, vibrantly illustrated book full of Locatelli's recipes, insight and historical detail about Italian food. He combines food narrative with hands-on expertise of a top chef. He peppers the book with evocative stories and funny and often outspoken observations on the state of food today. This is the contemporary Italian food bible, from the acknowledged master of modern Italian cooking.
