Book Heart of the Artichoke and Other Kitchen Journeys

Download or read book Heart of the Artichoke and Other Kitchen Journeys written by David Tanis and published by Artisan Books. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recipes from a very small kitchen by a man with a very large talent. Nobody better embodies the present-day mantra "Eat real food in season" than David Tanis, one of the most original voices in American cooking. For more than a quarter-century, Tanis has been the chef at the groundbreaking Chez Panisse, in Berkeley, California, where the menu consists solely of a single perfect meal that changes each evening. Tanis’s recipes are down-to-earth yet sophisticated, simple to prepare but impressive on the plate. Tanis opens this soulful, fun-to-read cookbook with his own private food rituals, those treats—jalapeño pancakes, beans on toast, pasta for one—for when you are on your own in the kitchen with no one else to satisfy. Then he follows with twenty incomparable menus (five per season) that serve four to six. Each transports the reader to places far and wide. And for grand occasions, a time for the whole tribe to gather around the table, Tanis delivers festive menus for holiday feasts. So in one book, three kinds of cooking: small, medium, and large.

Book The Heart of the Artichoke

Download or read book The Heart of the Artichoke written by Elena Poniatowska and published by . This book was released on 2012-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of stories, Poniatowska weaves together the disparate lives that make up Mexico's rich cultural tapestry. These are stories about servants and matriarchs, street sweepers and sorceresses, shop keepers, nannies, mothers, travelers, prostitutes, and drug addicts. They are stories of broken lives and broken hearts, of betrayal and rebirth. The language is melodic, sensual, plain, coarse, aristocratic. It reflects the varied idioms of Mexico's diverse social classes. Poniatowska constructs characters of immense complexity, then slowly peels away the emotional and psychological layers to expose their greatest vulnerability. Nowhere is this more visible than in the title story The Heart of the Artichoke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a routine parent-teacher conference in November 1991, Echo Fling was told by her son's teacher that his behaviour in class was `not normal'. After two years at the pre-school, five-year-old Jimmy had failed to make any friends, had recently started to act aggressively towards his classmates, and was beginning to react violently to any changes in his routine. Echo was not taken completely by surprise: she had suspected for some time that her son was different from other children. Over the next five years, she and her husband accompanied Jimmy to doctors, medical specialists, learning consultants and psychologists. Finally, at the age of ten, Jimmy was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. This is the book that Echo Fling needed when she first set out to have Jimmy diagnosed, and it will enable parents and teachers to understand and help other children with Asperger Syndrome.

Book Our Lady of the Artichokes and Other Portuguese American Stories

Download or read book Our Lady of the Artichokes and Other Portuguese American Stories written by Katherine Vaz and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in this prize-winning collection evoke a complete world, one so richly imagined and finely realized that the stories themselves are not so much read as experienced. The world of these stories is Portuguese-American, redolent of incense and spices, resonant with ritual and prayer, immersed in the California culture of freeway and commerce. Packed with lyrical prose and vivid detail, acclaimed writer Katherine Vaz conjures a captivating blend of Old World heritage and New World culture to explore the links between families, friends, strangers, and their world. ø From the threat of a serial killer as the background for a young girl?s first brush with death to the fallout of a modern-day visitation from the Virgin Mary; from an AIDS-stricken squatter refusing to vacate an empty Lisbon home to a mother?s yearlong struggle with the death of her synesthetic daughter, these deft stories make their world ours.

The experience is one of profound connection and expanded consciousness that has many names-accompanied by the realization that we are much more than the limited conceptions that we place upon ourselves. Peeling an Artichoke, Opening to the Heart of Spiritual Awakening, explores how we can deepen our spiritual life in very practical and meaningful ways to directly experience the infinite potential that is the birthright of us all. Whether the reader feels himself or herself to be "religious" or "spiritual but not religious," Peeling an Artichoke offers useful, and sometimes challenging ideas for Opening to the Heart of Spiritual Awakening.
