I purchased this book with the hopes it would help me learn some dishes that I could prepare during a busy week. The book briefly walks you through making yogurt, but to be honestly google: "making yogurt" provides a few better explanations. On that note, if you plan on ...             John Lennon: The Life2 reviews Philip Norman Ecco, 2008 Less about the myth, more about the man Forever romanticized by his tragic and puzzling murder, John Lennon has ascended to almost god-like status in pop culture. Remembered as the visionary and dreamer who soundtracked a generation, Lennon's legacy has largely been sculpted by those who loved and admired him, as his strengths, accomplishments and inspirations shine for all to see, while his flaws and failures have been forgotten. ...             Serena: A Novel32 reviews Ron Rash Ecco, 2008 Compelling Fiction Ron Rash's latest novel Serena, which was just released a few weeks ago, got me so hooked that I finished it in two days. Like his three other novels, One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, and The World Made Straight, this one is another tour de force, blended with humor, crime, passion and tragedy. Rash further blends his imagination in this novel with a significant history of the Southern ...             Spain...A Culinary Road Trip2 reviews Mario Batali, Gwyneth Paltrow Ecco, 2008 Celebrity Adventuring in Spain Reveals the Simple Dishes Are the Best I have to admit my purchase of this book had less to so with the presence of Mario Batali and Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover than the appetizing recipe for slow-roasted chicken on page 245. A quarter-pound of diced pancetta, a quarter-pound of diced pork sausage, two cups of chicken stock and one big chicken...six hours in a pot in a low-heat oven, and you have slow-roasted chicken. That's the kind ...             Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip--Confessions of a Cynical Waiter149 reviews Steve Dublanica Aka The Waiter Ecco, 2008 A great read! I initially read this book because I am a "foodie" and love to hear what goes on behind the scenes of an up-scale restaurant. The book delivered even more than I expected. I found the writer to be very likable, funny and wise. I'm glad the waiter finally realized what he wanted to be when he grew up (a writer!) because he does is so well! Highly recommended.             Italian Grill15 reviews Mario Batali, Judith Sutton Ecco, 2008 Mario Batali Italian Grill We saw this cookbook at a friends house and had to have a copy. Since we're living in our RV while we're constructing our house, the grill has become crucial. The recipes are interesting and well detailed. The stone cooking method (Piastra) has given me a whole new dimension with the grill. Also, this is the only cookbook that I've seen that gives a specific recipe for King Mackeral, which is ...             Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique6 reviews Michael S. Gazzaniga Ecco, 2008 Essential to Understanding Human Behavior To understand human social behavior it is necessary to be familiar with most (if not all) of the material Michael Gazzaniga covers in this seminal summary of how humans are alike and different from other animals. Since Dr. Gazzaniga is not only a pioneering neuroscientist, but also an accomplished writer noted for his ability to render scientific material understandable and entertaining, there is ...             State by State: A Panoramic Portrait of America38 reviews Matt Weiland, Sean Wilsey Ecco, 2008 50-50 Some very fine writing indeed. The essays should be savored slowly, one at a time, with plenty of time in between. After reading this book, I feel compelled to visit some states I had no interest in seeing before, and plan to avoid some others! Although a few essays are forgettable, (like the one on Maryland, which was colorless, just like the state itself) and one was so offensive I ripped the ...             Molto Italiano: 327 Simple Italian Recipes to Cook at Home71 reviews Mario Batali Ecco, 2005 Classic Molto Classic Molto - great recipes for everday, many great soup recipes as well as regional Itialian fare. My husband really enjoys this book.             The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62)634 reviews David Wroblewski Ecco, 2008 SUPERB I've had a problem finding a good book recently but I have really enjoyed The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I can't seem to put it down. I don't usually like Oprah books but the writing is graceful and not forced and it gets to the heart of familial struggles.             Your Government Failed You: Breaking the Cycle of National Security Disasters26 reviews Richard A. Clarke Ecco, 2008 An eye-opener from someone on the inside This book takes an uncompromising look at the inability of the government to prevent security and intelligence failures, like those that occurred before 9/11. Prior to the invasion of Iraq, the US Army had no counter-insurgency strategy. Part of the reason was to not resurrect unpleasant memories from Vietnam, and part of the reason was the absolute belief among top officials of the Bush ...             Women: A Novel120 reviews Charles Bukowski Ecco, 2007 A Raucous Good Time Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27PF6CT4ON2CQ This book is a jolly good time and I hope you like the review.             Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews32 reviews Poopa Dweck, Michael J. Cohen Ecco, 2007 Very Insightful but Pleasing to the Eye I am not Jewish, but after picking this up, in some ways I wish I was, if only for the traditions that seem so tied to the culture. As a cookbook, it has some unique recipes for some of the basics, but also brings to light many traditional foods that I really have not come in contact with. And I am quite the foodie, so this is fun to find new meals. Also, as the owner of many, many cookbooks, I ...             The Ruin of the Roman Empire: A New History2 reviews James J. O'Donnell Ecco, 2008 Vigorous, partisan, and memorable As the song has it, "Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down." Appropos of this book, a shovelful of bias makes the history go down. The book is essentially a review of the Roman Empire (or its remnants) in the sixth and early seventh century -- a very important and often neglected transition between the ancient and the medieval world. The author, James Collins, is exceptionally ...             The House on First Street: My New Orleans Story54 reviews Julia Reed Ecco, 2008 The most important things. Ms. Reed tells an interesting and very personal story about life before, during, and after Katrina, and I loved it. She's an entertaining storyteller, and has a lot of inside info on the New Orleans political and social scene -- plus, she's an obsessive foodie with good taste and an even hand. She lives large, but can also say to herself, "Get over it; it's just a rug."). I enjoyed reading about ...             The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating28 reviews Fergus Henderson Ecco, 2004 Intriguing, Simple, Elegant A delightfully intriguing, simple, and elegant collection of recipes and techniques. Unlike some of the reviewers, I see little or no problems getting the ingredients or reasonable substitutions. Pig's head, tripe, tongue, etc just go to a Mexican or Asian market. I may not be able to get rocket but I know I can get nasturtium leaves and flowers (also peppery greens) from my backyard. Most of the ...             post office: A Novel132 reviews Charles Bukowski Ecco, 2007 Bukowski was a funny guy! Out of what I've read by Bukowski at this point in time (I've only read four of his books as of today) I would rank this and Ham on Rye as his best. Most of Post Office revolves around his two stints as a Postal Worker, boozing, gambling, relationships with women and his trying to keep on with his writing while juggling all the other facets of his life. Its actually no wonder he was so ...             Ham on Rye: A Novel127 reviews Charles Bukowski Ecco, 2007 "Was I the only person who was distracted by this future without a chance?" So asks (p. 245) Bukowski's alter ego, Henry Chinaski, as this gripping romansbildung draws to a conclusion. The rather mysteriously-titled Ham on Rye is undoubtedly Bukowski's finest and most obviously autobiographical novel. In it, he gives us a variably chilling, pathetic, hilarious, and defiant portrait of Chinaski's first 20 years, taking us right up to the attack on Pearl Harbor and ...             The Arthur Avenue Cookbook: Recipes and Memories from the Real Little Italy11 reviews Ann Volkwein Ecco, 2004 This Cookbook Reeks with Honesty The Arthur Avenue Cookbook is beautifully put together in every way. The recipes, the photographs, the storyline and the quality of the book itself are absolutely first-rate. The people in this book are completely genuine - there is an honesty about their lives and their livelihoods that jumps from the pages. There are no pretenses here: the recipes do not require a lot of complex sauces or ...             Brotherhood of Warriors: Behind Enemy Lines with a Commando in One of the World's Most Elite Counterterrorism ...25 reviews Aaron Cohen, Douglas Century Ecco, 2008 Worth your time and money My very brief review: Well written, engaging, humorous at times, inspiring, educational and most importantly a testament to those that put the safety and well being of their countrymen above their own.              search for books america, breaking, brotherhood, commando, confessions, cookbook, counterterrorism, cuisine, culinary, cynical, disasters, empire, failed, government, history, italian, italiano, legendary, memories, national, orleans, panoramic, portrait, recipes, sawtelle, science, security, street, warriors, yogurt books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
