Download or read book Dessert Time Tales written by Walter Hyde and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a collection of short stories from personal experiences and encounters was born following several desert time chats between the author and his friends, many of whom disclosed incidents which were bizarre, ironical, unexpected, or even belonging to the supranatural, stories not sufficiently grand enough to be turned into a novel or movie but which nevertheless could provide food for thought and questions on how we should interact with other persons, both visible and invisible. Most of us believe in destiny, though many of my friends would challenge or dispute the rationale of accepting or adopting any specific religious belief. The stories told in this collection are of necessity fictionalised, but the essence or themes of the stories are mostly based on or related to first hand experiences or descriptions which sometimes could, hopefully, stimulate us to think about life again and whenever we face a downturn, whether we should second guess our choices, decisions, and paths we have taken. Last but not the least, the author would hope that these stories are light enough to digest, but substantial enough to linger on in one’s palate for some time.

Download or read book JELL O Girls written by Allie Rowbottom and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "gorgeous" (New York Times) memoir that braids the evolution of one of America's most iconic branding campaigns with the stirring tales of the women who lived behind its facade - told by the inheritor of their stories. In 1899, Allie Rowbottom's great-great-great-uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor for $450. The sale would turn out to be one of the most profitable business deals in American history, and the generations that followed enjoyed immense privilege - but they were also haunted by suicides, cancer, alcoholism, and mysterious ailments. More than 100 years after that deal was struck, Allie's mother Mary was diagnosed with the same incurable cancer, a disease that had also claimed her own mother's life. Determined to combat what she had come to consider the "Jell-O curse" and her looming mortality, Mary began obsessively researching her family's past, determined to understand the origins of her illness and the impact on her life of Jell-O and the traditional American values the company championed. Before she died in 2015, Mary began to send Allie boxes of her research and notes, in the hope that her daughter might write what she could not. Jell-O Girls is the liberation of that story. A gripping examination of the dark side of an iconic American product and a moving portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its fractured fortune, Jell-O Girls is a family history, a feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love and loss. In crystalline prose Rowbottom considers the roots of trauma not only in her own family, but in the American psyche as well, ultimately weaving a story that is deeply personal, as well as deeply connected to the collective female experience.

Download or read book Dessert written by Jeri Quinzio and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s face it: roast beef and potatoes are all well and good, but for many of us, when it comes to gustatory delight, we’re all about dessert. Whether it’s a homemade strawberry shortcake in summer or a chef’s complex medley of sweets, dessert is the perfect finale to a meal. Most of us have a favorite, even those who seldom indulge. After all, sweet is one of the basic flavors—and one we seem hardwired to love. Yet, as Jeri Quinzio reveals, while everyone has a taste for sweetness, not every culture enjoys a dessert course at the end of the meal. And desserts as we know them—the light sponge cakes of The Great British Baking Show, the ice creams, the steamed plum puddings—are neither as old nor as ubiquitous as many of us believe. Tracing the history of desserts and the way they, and the course itself, have evolved over time, Quinzio begins before dessert was a separate course—when sweets and savories were mixed on the table—and concludes in the present, when homey desserts are enjoying a revival, and as molecular gastronomists are creating desserts an alchemist would envy. An indulgent, mouth-wateringly illustrated read featuring recipes; texts from chefs, writers, and diarists; and extracts (not the vanilla or almond variety) from cookbooks, menus, newspapers, and magazines, Dessert is a delectable happy ending for anyone with a curious mind—and an incorrigible sweet tooth.
