Download or read book Great State written by Timothy Brook and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is one of the oldest states in the world. It achieved its approximate current borders with the Ascendancy of the Yuan dynasty in the 13th century, and despite the passing of one Imperial dynasty to the next, it has maintained them for the eight centuries since. Even the European colonial powers at the height of their power could not move past coastal enclaves. Thus, China remained China through the Ming, the Qing, the Republic, the Occupation, and Communism. But, despite the desires of some of the most powerful people in the Great State through the ages, China has never been alone in the world. It has had to contend with invaders from the steppe and the challenges posed by foreign traders and imperialists. Indeed, its rulers for the majority of the last eight centuries have not been Chinese. Timothy Brook examines China's relationship with the world from the Yuan through to the present by following the stories of ordinary and extraordinary people navigating the spaces where China met and meets the world. Bureaucrats, horse traders, spiritual leaders, explorers, pirates, emperors, invaders, migrant workers, traitors, and visionaries: this is a history of China as no one has told it before.

Download or read book The Great State of Texas Cookbook written by Barbara Riddle and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas cuisine is very much influenced by Mexico, but Texas puts its own spin on everyone's favorite dishes. The influence, of course, is the love of hot seasoning, jalapeno peppers, tortillas, tomatoes, beans, and corn, which find their way into most meals. And let's not forget that great Texas beef. Barbeques are not only a Texas tradition, but barbequing meat originated in Texas. In the 1800s, poor immigrants tenderized tough pieces of meat by slow cooking whatever they had in a Texas-style sauce. The barbeque was born, and it was considered "poor man's" food. Another way immigrants have brought joy to our country. Barbeque is now a Texas staple and beloved by all. This Great State of Texas Cookbook has plenty of ways to use great barbeque sauces to prepare meals any cowboy would sell his horse for.In addition, this Great State of Texas Cookbook has appetizers straight from the border and main meals with a kick. Those wonderful spices add excitement to any dish. Treat your family to some Texas-style love. Remember that the spices can be adjusted to individual tastes.

Download or read book Louisiana Real and Rustic written by Emeril Lagasse and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1996-09-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nowhere else have I found the passion for flavor that encompasses the lives of Louisianians, day in and day out," writes Emeril Lagasse. In Louisiana Real & Rustic, the prize winning New Orleans chef, cookbook author, and television cooking personality presents the great dishes of his adopted state in 150 down-home recipes--authentic versions of some of Americas favorite regional dishes, gathered from generations of Louisiana cooks. Fricassees, itouffies and grillades, meat pies and oyster fries, red beans and rice, and jambalayas and gumbos in endless, mouthwatering variety--each recipe is spiced with the unabashed joy of cooking and eating that makes every Louisiana meal a feast. On a delicious tour of back roads and bayous, from country cabins in Acadia to the refined town houses of Creole aristocracy, Emeril, accompanied by co-author Marcelle Bienvenu, finds that Louisiana is more than a geographical state--it's a culinary state of grace. Louisiana's colorful history has made it an extraordinary culinary crossroads, where the cooking customs of France, Spain, Africa, and the Caribbean meld into a unique New World Cuisine. In charming tales and tempting recipes, Emeril traces the roots of Creole and Acadian (or "Cajun") dishes, and honors the pioneer cooks who blended traditional tastes and techniques with the region's native ingredients. He shows how gumbos can use French roux, African okra, or fili from the indigenous Indians and he features Chicken and Oyster, Duck and Wild Mushroom, Shrimp and Okra, and Rabbit, or even collards, kale, mustard, and turnips. Emeril's explorations reveal that the spirit of culinary improvisation still thrives today.

Book excerpt: Julie Atwood is struggling with the day-to-day challenges of being a single mom. She works for a non-profit by day and clips coupons by night. The time in between is spent doing homework with her son. She wants a stable and secure life for him, but she needs a new start for herself. That won’t come easy, though. Julie is recently divorced, financially stressed, and still reeling from a violent attack in her past. She is determined to make it on her own, however. She learns self-defense skills and enrolls in a women’s-only firearms class. That’s where she meets a like-minded woman who helps take her skills to the next level. Julie’s personal evolution continues as she uses her couponing know-how to stockpile essential food and survival supplies. She will become self-reliant—and never be a victim again. The urgency of her efforts takes on new importance as society begins unraveling around her. America is divided. Conservatives and liberals are at war. Then the newly elected president cuts funding to so-called Sanctuary States, including her home state of Oregon. Julie loses her job. Everyone who lives off the government gets desperate. Riots. Crime. Fire. Julie needs to flee to the safety of her family cabin in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Can she get there, though? There is an exodus of people, and the conservative states—now called Great States—have established border checkpoints. Refugees are being turned away. Will she be one of them? Will Steve, her ex-husband, let her take their son far away? Will he demand to go with them? There is a wildfire at hand. Civilization is crumbling. And Julie is running out of time. The Divide is the first book in the A Great State trilogy.

Download or read book 50 States Cookbook written by Martha Stephenson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is very much a nation of immigrants. Instead of having a number of favorite national dishes, thousands from immigrants from around the world brought their own cuisine to this country, which makes American cooking as varied as its people. All fifty states have their favorite types of food, and each knows how best to prepare its special dish. Like any country surrounded by oceans, Americans enjoy the ocean's abundance and thrive on delicious seafood along the coasts. The coastal states are very particular about "their" special way of preparing seafood. It's worth trying all of them. As American settlers moved westward, they brought their own recipes with them wherever they went. The Midwest is highly influenced by the original Germans and Scandinavians, who favored hearty, tasty, and simple dishes. Moving south, you'll find many recipes brought north by our southern neighbors. In many border states, Mexican dishes are American. Take a leisurely trip through this 50 States Cookbook and see what makes America great.
