Those were the hungry years after the Second World War in the English countryside, when the sighting of a rogue hen or even a thin pig was a cause for celebration.

An award-winning journalist and self-described sugar addict, Fromm is funny and frank in this moving account of trying to find comfort in a family fraught with mental illness. Fromm worked for years as a reporter at Business Week, living in Manhattan and barely cooking at all. Craving a kitchen that could accommodate more than one, she returned, with her husband and two young sons, to live in the idyllic New Jersey town where she grew up. There, Fromm set about learning to cook and cope as she navigated 9\/11, her father's illness and her decision to create a grown up life in her childhood town. These essays are warm and generous, as are her recipes and cooking advice. You'll find everything in here, from baking for a Nobel Prize winner to courting a kidnapper; mastering a mousse soufflé to roasting a chicken in milk. Fromm writes about life with tenderness and tenacity, and about food with a devotion and sensuality that will inspire even the most kitchen-phobic among us to bolt for our sauté pans. If food is love, Fromm depicts cooking as even lovelier. Laura Zinn Fromm has an MFA from Columbia University and has taught writing at New York Writers Workshop, Columbia University and Montclair State University. A former editor at Business Week, she is the winner of the Clarion Award and the Newspaper Guild's Page One Award for Labor Reporting. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Huffington Post, Business Week, Ducts.org and elsewhere. She lives in New Jersey with her family. \"Sweet Survival is one of those books, like Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking, destined to make the rounds years after publication, passed down from woman to woman, recommended by friends and Wednesday night book clubs.

War books bring you tragedy. In Peace Meals, war reporter Anna Badkhen brings us not only an unsparing and intimate history of some of the last decade's most vicious conflicts but also the most human elements that transcend the dehumanizing realities of war: the people, the compassion they scraped from catastrophe, and the food they ate. Making palpable the day-to-day life during conflicts and catastrophes, Badkhen describes not just the shocking violence but also the beauty of events that take place even during wartime: the spring flowers that bloom in the crater hollowed by an air-to-surface missile, the lapidary sanctuary of a twelfth-century palace besieged by a modern battle, or a meal a tight-knit family shares as a firefight rages outside. Throughout Badkhen's stories, punctuated by recipes from the meals she shared with the people she encountered, emerges the most important lesson she has observed in conflict zones from Afghanistan to Chechnya: that war can kill our friends and decimate our towns, but it cannot destroy our inherent decency, generosity, and kindness--that which makes us human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Badkhen\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing about\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003econflicts since 2001 for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic, Foreign Policy, The Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e, and other publications.

But as she learned to cook in her childhood farmhouse, got her first restaurant job at age fifteen, taught herself cutting-edge cuisine while running a \"new gatherer\" underground supper club, and worked her way from front-of-house staff to running her own kitchen, Regan found that food could help her navigate the strangeness of the world around her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRegan cooks with instinct, memory, and an emotional connection to her ingredients that can't be taught.

His working-class extended family and Old World neighborhoods inspired a fascination with eclectic food combinations. Whether watching his Grandma Hazel dispatch a barnyard chicken by spinning it overhead \"like David with his sling\" or splashing \"a little Benedictine Brandy on fried eggs after I heard Betty Grable order eggs benedict between dance numbers,\" it's clear that his insatiable curiosity about food began early. A young Italian girl, Louisa, became Haller's childhood friend and introduced him to cannoli, which easily eclipsed his grandmother's tapioca and butterscotch puddings. Growing up with many rural relatives, Haller paints a vivid picture of a bygone era with recollections of dinners fit for farmhands and the \"womenfolk\" preparing massive harvest feasts. His financially strapped, city-dwelling parents had more pedestrian palates, favoring \"hot dog and beans...hamburgers, meat loaf, sloppy Joe's...creamed chip beef on toast...or my mother's tuna casserole.\" His mother's long hours waitressing required young Haller to prepare family meals, spurring a lifetime of culinary adventurousness, as he dished up string beans with pumpkin pie spices and lime and grape Kool-Aid baked into angel food cake for unwitting loved ones. Wit à la Ruth Reichl in Tender at the Bone (1998) invigorates these anecdotes throughout. Haller left for New York to make it as a writer and actor, often waiting tables to get by and eventually opening the Blue Strawbery in New Hampshire with some enterprising pals. Character sketches of family and friends here are as keenly observed and beautifully depicted as the food-the author's self-effacing humor a fantastic leavening agent. \"Flavorful serving of hilarious, poignant memories that will leave readers wanting seconds.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 14, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58915727933784,"sku":"9781938394171","price":22.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/1220\/7960\/files\/4S2BOeVuK49781938394171.webp?v=1792792631"},{"product_id":"pig-tails-n-breadfruit-anniversary-edition-paperback","title":"Pig Tails 'n' Breadfruit - Anniversary Edition - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAustin Clarke\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in Barbados, Austin Clarke was surrounded by women in the kitchen. Enveloped in the heavenly smells and smoke of their cooking, he listened to their talk about the food they were preparing. His mother; several aunts and numerous cousins always recited the steps they were taking as they cooked, and through them, he learned how to cook the traditional dishes of Barbados - food that has its origins in the days of slavery, of hardships and economic grief, when 'ingreasements' (ingredients) were scarce. The food was not just intended to 'full a hole in your stomach', according to Austin's mother, but to make you 'feel good', 'grow into a strong man' and give you 'big-big brains'. In Pig Tails 'n' Breadfruit, Austin Clarke shares his favourite recipes, including Smoked Ham Hocks with Lima Beans, Breadfruit Cou-Cou with Braising beef, Oxtails with Mushrooms, Pepperpot, and his renowned Chicken Austintacious. He reveals his method for choosing a 'nice piece o' pigtail from the brine barrel', demonstrates how to test an okra for freshness, outlines the essential characteristics of a real pork chop, and instructs us in the proper use of a cou-cou stick, that essential tool found in every Barbadian home. And all the while he reminisces about the food he ate as a boy and the rituals that went along with it. Whether it's a story about the village butcher whose qualifications were somewhat suspect, how to map a sure-fire route to a woman's heart through her stomach, or searching the streets of Durham, North Carolina, for fried chicken with Norman Mailer, Austin Clarke will make you hungry for 'hot cuisine' and the spirit of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 02, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58915736912216,"sku":"9789766378820","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/1220\/7960\/files\/7m905_NRV_9789766378820.webp?v=1792792640"},{"product_id":"kitchen-confidential-25th-anniversary-edition-hardcover","title":"Kitchen Confidential: 25th Anniversary Edition - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAnthony Bourdain\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES-\u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLING PHENOMENON\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Utterly riveting, swaggering with stylish machismo.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e-\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e magazine\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGlobally beloved chef Anthony Bourdain's bestselling breakout book-an addictively funny, unsparing tell-all about the restaurant business by the Emmy Award-winning host of \u003ci\u003eParts Unknown \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eNo Reservations\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the now-classic memoir that launched Anthony Bourdain's long career, the globally beloved chef took us through the swinging kitchen doors and turned the culinary trade on its head.

Hill speaks with orchardists and farmers about planting their own fruit trees and making the decision to transition their farms over to organic.

Readers are introduced to the first-ever cheesemaker in the Leelanau area and a pastry chef who is doing it all from scratch. Readers also get a sneak peek into the origins of Traverse City institutions such as Folgarelli's Market and Wine Shop and Trattoria Stella.
