NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the best-selling author of The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook—this everyday cookbook is “filled with fun and easy ... recipes that will have you actually looking forward to hitting the kitchen at the end of a long work day” (Bustle). A happy discovery in the kitchen has the ability to completely change the course of your day. Whether we’re cooking for ourselves, for a date night in, for a Sunday supper with friends, or for family on a busy weeknight, we all want recipes that are unfussy to make with triumphant results. Deb Perelman, award-winning blogger, thinks that cooking should be an escape from drudgery. Smitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favorites presents more than one hundred impossible-to-resist recipes—almost all of them brand-new, plus a few favorites from her website—that will make you want to stop what you’re doing right now and cook. These are real recipes for real people—people with busy lives who don’t want to sacrifice flavor or quality to eat meals they’re really excited about. You’ll want to put these recipes in your Forever Files: Sticky Toffee Waffles (sticky toffee pudding you can eat for breakfast), Everything Drop Biscuits with Cream Cheese, and Magical Two-Ingredient Oat Brittle (a happy accident). There’s a (hopelessly, unapologetically inauthentic) Kale Caesar with Broken Eggs and Crushed Croutons, a Mango Apple Ceviche with Sunflower Seeds, and a Grandma-Style Chicken Noodle Soup that fixes everything. You can make Leek, Feta, and Greens Spiral Pie, crunchy Brussels and Three Cheese Pasta Bake that tastes better with brussels sprouts than without, Beefsteak Skirt Steak Salad, and Bacony Baked Pintos with the Works (as in, giant bowls of beans that you can dip into like nachos). And, of course, no meal is complete without cake (and cookies and pies and puddings): Chocolate Peanut Butter Icebox Cake (the icebox cake to end all icebox cakes), Pretzel Linzers with Salted Caramel, Strawberry Cloud Cookies, Bake Sale Winning-est Gooey Oat Bars, as well as the ultimate Party Cake Builder—four one-bowl cakes for all occasions with mix-and-match frostings (bonus: less time spent doing dishes means everybody wins). Written with Deb’s trademark humor and gorgeously illustrated with her own photographs, Smitten Kitchen Every Day is filled with what are sure to be your new favorite things to cook.

Over the past decade there has been a remarkable flowering of interest in food and nutrition, both within the popular media and in academia. Scholars are increasingly using foodways, food systems and eating habits as a new unit of analysis within their own disciplines, and students are rushing into classes and formal degree programs focused on food. Introduced by the editor and including original articles by over thirty leading food scholars from around the world, the Routledge International Handbook of Food Studies offers students, scholars and all those interested in food-related research a one-stop, easy-to-use reference guide. Each article includes a brief history of food research within a discipline or on a particular topic, a discussion of research methodologies and ideological or theoretical positions, resources for research, including archives, grants and fellowship opportunities, as well as suggestions for further study. Each entry also explains the logistics of succeeding as a student and professional in food studies. This clear, direct Handbook will appeal to those hoping to start a career in academic food studies as well as those hoping to shift their research to a food-related project. Strongly interdisciplinary, this work will be of interest to students and scholars throughout the social sciences and humanities.

Presenting a Meal Planning Cookbook Like No Other Cookbook in the World From the popular website www.cookinginajiffy.com and the author of ten Amazon Bestseller cookbooks comes a cookbook that doesn’t focus on recipes. Instead, it shares the secret of creating a FULL MEAL PLAN in around 30 minutes. How can be meals made simple? With just Proper Sequencing and Parallel Processing of your actions, is author Prasenjeet Kumar’s answer. ˃˃˃ Applying the technique of sequencing to cooking would mean that.... Once you have decided what you would like to cook, you should gather all ingredients and wash, dry, chop, or blend them in the order they would be required in the recipe. French call this mise en place or putting it in place. You certainly can’t practice any cooking in a JIFFY without internalizing this first principle of intelligent cooking. ˃˃˃ Parallel processing is the art of juggling two or most tasks at the same time without hopefully affecting the quality of any. In meal planning diets, this would mean that while you put one dish to cook, you start chopping, blending or whatever for the next dish and so on. Needless to say, this little planning in advance can reduce both the cooking and preparation time considerably and enable you to prepare a full 3-4 course meal literally in a JIFFY. ˃˃˃ So if till now you didn’t know (or hadn’t thought about) as to how with proper sequencing and parallel processing you can reduce your drudgery by many, many folds, you have come absolutely to the right place. ˃˃˃ The Concept of Full Meal Planner and Parallel Processing This book is a humble attempt to let you experiment with this idea of SEQUENCING AND PARALLEL PROCESSING. In that background, the Book presents around 40 dishes grouped into 10 FULL MEALS consisting of: two “concepts” of breakfasts, four Indian meals, one Thai meal, one Japanese meal, and two Western meals. All are 3-4 course meals and all can be completed in less than 30-minutes. The examples given are, of course, only suggestive. Once you get the hang of the “philosophy” the author is talking about, you can come up with any number of your own permutations and combinations. Like the concept? Then just scroll up and add this or any of the other books of Prasenjeet Kumar to your cart.
