Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Domestic Goddess – a story of social media fame, a family in crisis and advice on buying a bike. Adam and Sarah live in a house that’s too small for them with a mortgage that’s too big for them and, once they’ve wrestled the kids into bed, they watch Netflix series in their pyjamas or have cheap-as-chips, Chardonnay-soaked dinners with their friends. After Sarah wins a writing competition for a women’s magazine, she’s asked to become a regular columnist. Emma, Adam’s friend, but certainly not Sarah’s, a glamorous celebrity publicity, immediately sees potential in Sarah as a YouTube star. And so the Domestic Goddess is born. As the Domestic Goddess attracts followers and cables, lights and free samples for promotion begin to fill the house, Adam and the children find themselves transformed into social media stars. But Adam is uncomfortable with their new found fame. Luckily, Emma has a suggestion – Adam should follow in his wife’s footsteps and the humble bike shop that he runs with his quirky assistant Fin becomes the home of the Bicycle Boys, the next YouTube sensation. But is more celebrity and more freebies really the answer to Adam and Sarah’s growing estrangement? Before long, as the couple find themselves competing for subscribers, swamped by fans and struggling to handle their new fame, the fault lines in their relationship force them apart. Adam has never had to try at anything – other than escaping from the shadow of his celebrated financier father. Sarah, on the other hand, has always had to work like hell – as she does for the Domestic Goddess. “But it’s killing you,” points out Adam. Is it better to die trying? Before long Adam is throwing himself into the Bicycle Boys. But is it to impress Sarah or get revenge on her? Conflicted, he seeks to rebuild their normal family life but Emma clearly has other plans for the couple. When the Domestic Goddess and the Bicycle Boys come head to head for the glitzy Vlogger of the Year Awards Adam realises that he needs to take drastic action.
Download or read book How to be the Goddess of Your Home written by Judith E. Walsh and published by Yoda Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, as dominance of British power in India led to the imposition of an alien culture on indigenous life-ways, the entire world of local domestic life and its most intimate relationships became contested ground. This anthology offers translated selections from nine Bengali domestic manuals written by both men and women in the course of these debates and contestations. In simple and often colloquial language these how to do it books act as guides to conducting relations within a family context, child rearing, and household management. Often presented in the form of an intimate dialogue between husband and wife in the dead of the night, the translations provide an unusual insight into the home of the Bengali bhadralok in colonial times. As one hurtles from one representation of middle-class reformism to another, it becomes clear that this anthology is an invaluable addition to the rather thin collection of translated primary sources of this period. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of gender studies, history, sociology, lay readers interested in the culture of the colonial period, as well as all informed women readers.

Download or read book Cake written by Alysa Levene and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cake can evoke thoughts of home, comfort someone at a time of grief or celebrate a birth or new love. It is a maker of memories, a marker of identities, and delicious! It was the year 878 A.D., and a man claimed sanctuary in a small village home in Wessex. To the surprise of the villager, the man was not a passing vagabond but Alfred, King of the Anglo-Saxons. The village homemaker was happy to hide him from the marauding Danes, provided he keep an eye on the cake she had baking in the oven. Preoccupied with how to re-take his kingdom, Alfred let the cake burn, and the incident passed into folklore forever. From these seemingly ignoble beginnings, not only was Alfred able to reclaim his spot in history, but the humble villager's cake has become a part of world culture as well. Alysa Levene looks at cakes both ancient and modern, from the fruit cake, to the pound cake, from the ubiquitous birthday cake to the angel food cake, all the way up to competitive baking shows on television and our modern obsession with macaroons and cup cakes. Along the way, author Alysa Levene shows how cakes are so much more than just a delicious sugar hit, and reflects on how and why cakes became the food to eat in times of celebration. Cake reflects cultural differences, whether it is the changing role of women in the home, the expansion of global trade, even advances in technology. Entertaining and delightfully informative, Cake: A Slice of History promises to be a witty and joyous celebration of our cultural heritage.

Download or read book Housewife Superstar written by Danielle Wood and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life, advice, and many marriages of a ninety-something Tasmanian domestic goddess, the real-life humor inspiration for television's Dame Edna Marjorie Bligh is the ninety-five-year-old Martha Stewart you didn't know you were missing. Does your goldfish have constipation? Feed it Epsom salts. Have you run out of blush? Cut a beet in half and slap it on your cheeks. Are there possums in your ceiling? Housewife Superstar will tell you how to get them out. Famous for never wasting a thing, Marjorie crochets her bedspreads from plastic bags and used panty hose, and protects the plants in her garden with bras. In 1958, upon entering the food and craft contests at her town show, she won in seventy-eight categories; the next year she won in seventy-two but was denied the trophy by jealous rivals. Once divorced and twice widowed, Marjorie is, according to her colossal fan Barry Humphries (of TV comedy Dame Edna fame), "no slouch in the matrimonial department." Her first husband, Cliff, was loving but turned brutal. Her second marriage, to preacher and schoolteacher Adrian, was punctuated by endless love notes, breakfasts in bed, and territorial fights with his adult daughters. She snagged her third husband, Eric—a bus driver—with promises of fruitcake and flirtatious glances in his rearview mirror. Marjorie designed two homes and a museum devoted to her creations, worked for half a century as a journalist and columnist, and raised two sons, all while building a devoted following. Danielle Wood's Housewife Superstar is an illuminating look at a treasure.

Download or read book How Canadians Communicate VI written by Charlene Elliott and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food nourishes the body, but our relationship with food extends far beyond our need for survival. Food choices not only express our personal tastes but also communicate a range of beliefs, values, affiliations and aspirations—sometimes to the exclusion of others. In the media sphere, the enormous amount of food-related advice provided by government agencies, advocacy groups, diet books, and so on compete with efforts on the part of the food industry to sell their product and to respond to a consumer-driven desire for convenience. As a result, the topic of food has grown fraught, engendering sometimes acrimonious debates about what we should eat, and why. By examining topics such as the values embedded in food marketing, the locavore movement, food tourism, dinner parties, food bank donations, the moral panic surrounding obesity, food crises, and fears about food safety, the contributors to this volume paint a rich, and sometimes unsettling portrait of how food is represented, regulated, and consumed in Canada. With chapters from leading scholars such as Ken Albala, Harvey Levenstein, Stephen Kline and Valerie Tarasuk, the volume also includes contributions from “food insiders”—bestselling cookbook author and food editor Elizabeth Baird and veteran restaurant reviewer John Gilchrist. The result is a timely and thought-provoking look at food as a system of communication through which Canadians articulate cultural identity, personal values, and social distinction. Contributors include Ken Albala, Elizabeth Baird, Jacqueline Botterill, Rebecca Carruthers Den Hoed, Catherine Carstairs, Nathalie Cooke, Pierre Desrochers, Josh Greenberg, Stephen Kline, Jordan Lebel, Harvey Levenstein, Wayne McCready, Irina Mihalache, Eric Pateman, Rod Phillips, Sheilagh Quaile, Melanie Rock, Paige Schell, and Valerie Tarasuk.
