Book excerpt: Louise Rizzo was a first generation Italian-American woman, who grew up during the Great Depression and came of age during the World War II era. Like many of her era, she was filled with faith and hope in the American Dream. Well-read and passionate about sports, democracy, and family, Louise was properly rewarded with five sons and many more grandchildren. Upon her death in 2002, her fourth child, Dr. John Rizzo, decided to compile his memories of Louise's life lessons, which she usually shared over a steaming bowl of pasta that she made by hand in her kitchen. In Lessons from the Kitchen, John recounts tales of growing up in an idyllic neighborhood in West Springfield, Massachusetts, where common sense and a sense of adventure ruled the day and each evening came down to the three F's: family, friends, and food. While in these pages is one family's personal stories of struggle and triumph, the themes will resonate universally. You, too, should be able to point to someone in your past who taught you right from wrong, not only in words, but by example. For the Rizzo family and many others, Louise Rizzo did just that. Lessons of faith, perseverance, courage, patriotism, brotherhood, and loyalty abound. In addition, many of Louise's favorite recipes, which have delighted the tongues of countless folks are included after each chapter.

But The Making of a Chef is not just about holding a knife or slicing an onion; it's also about the nature and spirit of being a professional cook and the people who enter the profession.

Incisively reported, with an insider's passion and attention to detail, The Making of a Chef remains the most vivid and compelling memoir of a professional culinary education on record.

Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
