From Alaska from Scratch blogger Maya Wilson comes a beautifully scenic cookbook celebrating Alaska and its ocean-to-table, homemade food culture. When Maya Wilson and her three kids transplanted to Alaska in 2011, she didn’t know what to expect. But what she ended up finding was home—and she turned her love for the gorgeous landscapes and fresh cuisine into the now hugely popular blog Alaska from Scratch. Maya’s first book is filled with 75 delicious, family-friendly recipes that are based on the seasonality of Alaska. There’s an abundance of wild berries, so summer recipes are full of them, and to get through the cold winters, she includes hearty soups and pot pies. Her recipes—sheet pan balsamic chicken, coffee chocolate chip banana bread, and Kenai cheeseburgers—are created for busy families like hers. And of course, she incorporates plenty of the seafood Alaska is famous for: halibut poached in Thai curry, a salmon superfood salad, and local recipes like reindeer sausage and moose shepherd’s pie.

The instant New York Times bestseller! "In The XX Brain, Lisa meticulously guides us in the ways we can both nourish and protect ourselves, body and mind, to ensure our brains remain resilient throughout our lives." --from the foreword by Maria Shriver The first book to address cognitive enhancement and Alzheimer's prevention specifically in women--and to frame brain health as an essential component of Women's Health. In this revolutionary book, Dr. Lisa Mosconi, director of the Women's Brain Initiative at Weill Cornell Medical College, provides women with the first plan to address the unique risks of the female brain. Until now, medical research has focused on "bikini medicine," assuming that women are essentially men with breasts and tubes. Yet women are far more likely than men to suffer from anxiety, depression, migraines, brain injuries, and strokes. They are also twice as likely to end their lives suffering from Alzheimer's disease, even when their longer lifespans are taken into account. But in the past, the female brain has received astonishingly little attention and was rarely studied by medical researchers-- resulting in a wealth of misinformation about women's health. The XX Brain confronts this crisis by revealing how the two powerful X chromosomes that distinguish women from men impact the brain first and foremost and by focusing on a key brain-protective hormone: estrogen. Taking on all aspects of women's health, including brain fog, memory lapses, depression, stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, and the increased risk of dementia, Dr. Mosconi introduces cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches to protecting the female brain, including a specific diet proven to work for women, strategies to reduce stress, and useful tips for restorative sleep. She also examines the controversy about soy and hormonal replacement therapy, takes on the perils of environmental toxins, and examines the role of our microbiome. Perhaps best of all, she makes clear that it is never too late to take care of yourself. The XX Brain is a rallying cry for women to have full access to information regarding what is going on in their brains and bodies as well as a roadmap for the path to optimal, lifelong brain health.

Setting aside less than what you may want or need has never been a good thing, and Salmon is not an exception. Seafood has been transported throughout the world for decades, raising the question of where to look for the best salmon. And the biggest catch has moved to Alaska. There is a reason why the majority of this state has supported humans for thousands of years. Alaska is home to some of the highest-quality salt you can find. So how did Alaska come to be so well known for producing some of, if not the world's best salmon. Well, there are numerous factors that ensure the Alaskan wild salmon exceed expectations. Let's call it what it is: the Alaska fish country. You can find some of the cleanest freshwater, restroom, and bar habits there. Because of this and other factors, there are numerous stocks of fish that can survive in a sustainably healthy and clean state. Keep in mind that Alaska is thousands of miles away from sources of contamination that generally contaminate the food supply in other parts of the world. Not as many voters are exposed to the salons that grow in this state's waters as those that are caught closer to the ground or even cultivated for that purpose. Alaskan salmon is recognized for its superior taste, if anything. The fact that the fish is wild, living in some of the cleanest water in the world, and feeding on its natural diet, which consists of various marine organisms that also naturally live in healthy waters, all contribute to what makes the texture and flavor of this fish so naturally appetizing.
