Some people say you can only learn to cook by doing. So Adam Roberts, creator of the award-winning blog The Amateur Gourmet, set out to cook in 50 of America's best kitchens to figure out how any average Joe or Jane can cook like a seasoned pro. From Alice Waters's garden to Jose Andres's home kitchen, it was a journey peppered with rock-star chefs and dedicated home cooks unified by a common passion, one that Roberts understands deeply and transfers to the reader with flair, thoughtfulness, and good humour: a love and appreciation of cooking. The culmination of that journey is a cookbook filled with lessons, tips, and tricks from the most admired chefs in America, including how to properly dress a salad, bake a no-fail piecrust, make light and airy pasta, and stir-fry in a wok, plus how to improve your knife skills, eliminate wasteful food practices, and create recipes of your very own. Most important, Roberts has adapted 150 of the chefs' signature recipes into totally doable dishes for the home cook. Now anyone can learn to cook like a pro. |

We all make mistakes — grown-ups and children alike. But little kids sometimes have trouble dealing with their mistakes, whether it's a piece of artwork they've torn by accident, or juice they've spilled on their favorite drawing. In this book, every page begins with a 'mistake' that ultimately unravels, lifts out, or pulls up to become a surprising work of beauty. Kids see firsthand as they go through the book that any smudge, smear or stain can lead to something absolutely marvelous — with a little imagination. Inspiring and inventive, this interactive board book teaches a valuable lesson: 'When you think you have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to make something beautiful'. |

«In «Under Pressure», Thomas Keller shows us how sous vide, which involves packing food in airtight plastic bags and cooking at low heat, achieves results that other cooking methods simply cannot — in flavour and precision. For example, steak that is a perfect medium rare from top to bottom; and meltingly tender yet medium rare short ribs that haven't lost their flavour to the sauce. Fish, which has a small window of doneness, is easier to finesse, and salmon develops a voluptuous texture when cooked at a low temperature. Fruit and vegetables benefit too, retaining their bright colour while achieving remarkable textures. There is wonderment in cooking sous vide — in the ease and precision (salmon cooked at 123 degrees versus 120 degrees!) and the capacity to cook a piece of meat (or glaze carrots, or poach lobster) uniformly.» |

With the sensibility of a poet, the outlook of a practical philosopher, the obsession of a list maker, Barbara Ann Kipfer is a writer with a unique approach to life. In 14,000 THINGS TO BE HAPPY ABOUT, she tells us why to live. In THE WISH LIST, she tells us what we should do with our lives. And so far it's worked — her first two books have over a million copies in print. Now in 8,789 WORDS OF WISDOM, she tells us how to live. 8,789 WORDS OF WISDOM is brimming with great advice, maxims, sayings and saws, proverbs, precepts and truths — 8,789 of them, to be exact. It has the chunky comfort of 14,000 THINGS, and a similar quirky, compulsively readable format — line after line after page after page of words of wisdom. Turn to any spot in the book and there is the secret to living a happier, healthier, saner, more productive life. Learn to unlearn. Appreciate the questions as much as the answers. Stretch beyond what is comfortable. There are folksy expressions polished smooth over time: If you think you can, you can. Experience is the best teacher. Quotes: Those who know don't speak, those who speak don't know (Laotzu). Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there (Will Rogers). Unexpected turns: Listen with your eyes. Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment. Taken together it's the ultimate source of self-improvement. |

First published in 1975, this cartoon book features cats that, unlike other feline creations which are cute, cloying or malevolent, are solemn, simultaneously ominiscient and dim-witted, and blessed with the Rubenesque grace of a 1950 Buick. |

The mystery of the body in motion. The surprise of seeing what seems impossible. And the pure, joyful optimism of it all. Dancers Among Us presents one thrilling photograph after another of dancers leaping, spinning, lifting, kicking — but in the midst of daily life: on the beach, at a construction site, in a library, a restaurant, a park. With each image the reader feels buoyed up, eager to see the next bit of magic. Photographer Jordan Matter started his Dancers Among Us Project by asking a member of the Paul Taylor Dance Company to dance for him in a place where dance is unexpected. So, dressed in a commuter's suit and tie, the dancer flew across a Times Square subway platform. And in that image Matter found what he'd been searching for: a way to express the feeling of being fully alive in the moment, unself-conscious, present. Organized around themes of work, play, love, exploration, dreaming, and more, Dancers Among Us celebrates life in a way that's fresh, surprising, original, universal. There's no photo-shopping here, no trampolines, no gimmicks, no tricks. Just a photographer, his vision, and the serendipity of what happens when the shutter clicks. |

«Don't you just hate when you hold the ketchup bottle over your French fries and the first thing that comes out is red water? People who think soy is the solution to all health problems? The fact that Barry Manilow didn't write his hit song, «I Write the Songs»? Almost as if in answer to Barbara Ann Kipfer's «14,000 Things to Be Happy About» (over 1 million copies in print) and its legion of sunny readers, Scott Cohen has compiled an obsessive, hilarious compendium of life's irritations--the myriad little annoyances, vexations, injustices, and petty pretensions that make any sane person cringe. Of course, this is more than snippy waiters or rude drivers who cut you off. It is a finely honed selection of 738 exasperating things, people, situations, complaints, and attitudes that everyone who's ever had a bad day can appreciate. And which will make us all feel better, just because we know someone else is paying attention--at last. Talk about annoying: Yoga instructors who smoke. Pets that only show affection right before mealtime. Tipping someone who hasn't earned it only because you don't want to look cheap. Late fees for a video you didn't have time to watch. The second-to-last day of a two-week vacation. A sneeze that lingers in your nose, doesn't come out, and then is absorbed by your forehead. When your Cracker Jack has melted into one big Jack. When your doctor asks if you mind if an intern watches your colonoscopy.» |

«There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again. A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist, and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art six-phase animation process that combines the «persistence of vision» principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harks back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo! Every child who opens the book will be amazed, and so will every parent!» |

«Whether selling, managing, applying to university, looking for a job — or looking for a soulmate — the secret of success is connecting with other people. Nicholas Boothman shows exactly how to make the best out of any relationship's most critical moment — those first 90 seconds that make up a first impression. Armed with his program, readers learn how to establish immediate trust by synchronizing voice tone and body language; the power of a Really Useful Attitude; and how to get people talking and keep them talking. He discusses eye cues, the magic of opposites attracting, and sensory preferences — some of us are Visual people, others are Kinesthetic (responding most to the sense of touch), and a few are Auditory. So when you say «I see what you mean» to a Visual, you're really speaking his or her language.» |

All you need is love. And Nick Boothman will help you find it fast. First he helps you determine, through a series of revealing self-assessments, what kind of a person your soul mate, or Matched Opposite, is likely to be. Next he leads you through a series of steps that can all take place during a single short date, whether you met online or elsewhere: how to make a fabulous first impression using non-verbal signals, how to successfully flirt, and how to create a playful air of mystery and intrigue. Then he gets to the heart of the matter, revealing how to create rapport and then intimacy, by first finding common ground, then opening up and sharing your thoughts and feelings — all in 90 minutes or less. A new chapter on internet dating teaches you how to expand your opportunities for finding your matched opposite, how to get noticed online (and some common pitfalls to avoid), and — most importantly — how to successfully transition from an online to a real-world relationship. |

«It's like gossip--what woman wouldn't want to share all those little unexpected and invariably hilarious things men do that drive them crazy? Here, from hundreds of women (first names only, please), comes one juicy detail after the next, and it's far beyond who left the toilet seat up: «He used coupons to pay for our anniversary dinner.» --Dolly, New York, NY «Every night, settling in, he grunts. I lie there waiting for him to quiet down. He sighs a long sigh and groans the same words every single night: 'Oh, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed. Oh, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed. Oh, bed, bed, bed . . .'»--Ellen, Cleveland, OH Now, reissued with a fresh new cover that will heighten its appeal as the perfect impulse gift for any woman with a man in her life.» |
