Download or read book The Sunshine Caper written by Molly Schreier and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-04-23 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this illustrated children’s book, a group of cousins on vacation uncover a message in a bottle that points them to buried treasure. It’s summertime in Beach Haven Terrace, and seven cousins (Molly, Emma, Caroline, Grace, Maggie, Ellie, and Lucy—all named after the book’s young co-authors) are staying with their grandmother before “the boys” arrive from summer camp. The eldest look after the younger girls and play on the sandy beaches. One day, they find a bottle in the sand, supposedly sent by crewmembers on a lost Spanish ship, which contains an English-language message of hidden treasure, and the girls collaborate to follow a list of clues to its source. The authors offer realistic sisterly dynamics (“ ‘Women! And you are my women!’ Molly said, imitating the voice their Pop Pop”) and have a documentary eye for the experience of adolescent vacationing. The girls take a tour of their summer town on buses and tandem bicycles, spurred by their own imaginative sense of adventure. The historical context of in this light, low-stakes mystery becomes increasingly implausible; one clue, for instance, is related via a musical performance on a family-fun pirate ship. Leslie’s ink-and-watercolor images feature appealing composition and provide helpful accompaniment to the text with serene Atlantic overcast beaches, lighthouses, grasses, and sandy shoes. However, the images’ small size makes the details hard to see. Overall, this collaborative project captures real affection and a feeling of leisure and adventure that will be comforting to emerging chapter-book readers. The mystery lacks polish, logic, and clear resolution (“And who was it, exactly, who had left the girls those clues? I leave it to you, dear reader....”). Still, the O’Meara, Schreier, and Hennessey team deliver a pleasant work . An often charming summer story, hampered by some puzzling story elements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a remarkable career that has spanned nearly fifty years, Wini Moranville has witnessed the American restaurant landscape transform from the inside out. At just shy of fourteen, she began a ten-year stretch working in a kaleidoscope of quintessential midwestern eateries of the time. Moranville’s hands-on experiences weave a vivid tapestry of the American restaurant landscape in the 1970s and 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the tables turned as Moranville became a prolific food and wine writer for national publications, as well as the dining critic for the Des Moines Register and dsm Magazine. Amidst the vast changes that have occurred over the years, Love Is My Favorite Flavor underscores the timelessness of what it is we seek when we entrust restaurateurs with our hard-earned money and our hard-won leisure time. Dining out may have changed dramatically since the 1970s, but the joys of being in the hands of people who care deeply about our time at their tables have not.

Download or read book What She Ate written by Laura Shapiro and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2017 One of NPR Fresh Air's "Books to Close Out a Chaotic 2017" NPR's Book Concierge Guide To 2017’s Great Reads “How lucky for us readers that Shapiro has been listening so perceptively for decades to the language of food.” —Maureen Corrigan, NPR Fresh Air Six “mouthwatering” (Eater.com) short takes on six famous women through the lens of food and cooking, probing how their attitudes toward food can offer surprising new insights into their lives, and our own. Everyone eats, and food touches on every aspect of our lives—social and cultural, personal and political. Yet most biographers pay little attention to people’s attitudes toward food, as if the great and notable never bothered to think about what was on the plate in front of them. Once we ask how somebody relates to food, we find a whole world of different and provocative ways to understand her. Food stories can be as intimate and revealing as stories of love, work, or coming-of-age. Each of the six women in this entertaining group portrait was famous in her time, and most are still famous in ours; but until now, nobody has told their lives from the point of view of the kitchen and the table. What She Ate is a lively and unpredictable array of women; what they have in common with one another (and us) is a powerful relationship with food. They include Dorothy Wordsworth, whose food story transforms our picture of the life she shared with her famous poet brother; Rosa Lewis, the Edwardian-era Cockney caterer who cooked her way up the social ladder; Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady and rigorous protector of the worst cook in White House history; Eva Braun, Hitler’s mistress, who challenges our warm associations of food, family, and table; Barbara Pym, whose witty books upend a host of stereotypes about postwar British cuisine; and Helen Gurley Brown, the editor of Cosmopolitan, whose commitment to “having it all” meant having almost nothing on the plate except a supersized portion of diet gelatin.
