Book Description
Fuchsia Dunlop trained as a chef at China's leading cooking school and is internationally renowned for her delicious recipes and brilliant writing about Chinese food. Every Grain of Rice is inspired by the healthy and vibrant home cooking of southern China, in which meat and fish are enjoyed in moderation, but vegetables play the starring role. Try your hand at blanched choy sum with sizzling oil, Hangzhou broad beans with ham, pock-marked old woman's beancurd or steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, or, if you've ever in need of a quick fix, Fuchsia's emergency late-night noodles. Many of the recipes require few ingredients and are startlingly easy to make. The book includes a comprehensive introduction to the key seasonings and techniques of the Chinese kitchen, as well as the 'magic ingredients' that can transform modest vegetarian ingredients into wonderful delicacies. With stunning photography and clear instructions, this is an essential volume for beginners and connoisseurs alike.

Book Description
Enjoy rice and other grains everyday with more than 70 deliciously innovative recipes that showcase and celebrate these versatile and nourishing foods. A huge variety of cereal crops are grown throughout the world. Grains are the seeds of these plants. The entire grain or 'wholegrain' is made up of three elements, a fibre-rich outer layer, the bran; a nutrient-packed inner part, the germ; and a central starchy part, the endosperm. The most familiar grain is perhaps rice, and types of rice include long-grain, short-grain, easy cook (par-boiled) and brown (wholegrain), but why not discover all the speciality varieties out there too? Basmati, Jasmine, Japonica, Bomba, Originario, Arborio and Carnaroli (to name just a few!) all have a unique texture and flavour and can be used in a myriad of interesting ways. Other grains used in these exciting recipes include Amaranth, Barley, Buckwheat, Bulghur, Corn, Farro, Kamut, Millet, Oats, Quinoa, Rye and Spelt. Kathy's recipes take their inspiration from a wide range of global cooking styles and influences. Choose from a selection of small plates, bowl food, larger plates, sharing platters, bakes and even extras for your pantry, such as home-made milks, grainy crispbreads, healthy condiments and dressings.

Book Description
Around the globe, poverty has held too many people in its grip for too long. While microfinance - small loans to impoverished individuals - initially attracted attention in the press, it didn't achieve the scale, scope, and profitability necessary to substantially combat poverty. All that changed with Vikram Akula's creation of SKS Microfinance. In this highly personal narrative, A Fistful of Rice, Akula reveals how he pieced together the best of both philanthropy and (to his surprise) capitalism to help millions of India's poor transition from paupers to customers to business owners. As thoughtful as Barack Obama's personal journey in Dreams from My Father, as harrowing as Paul Farmer's battle against infectious disease in Mountains Beyond Mountains, and as gripping as Greg Mortensen's fight for education in Three Cups of Tea, Akula's story shows how traditional business principles can be brought to bear on global problems in new ways. A Fistful of Rice offers not only inspiration but also lessons for anyone seeking to transform tenacity, creativity, and innovation into potent tools for fighting even the most seemingly intractable human burdens.

Book Description
Harry Travers walks away from the manicured future his disintegrating, moneyed family had envisioned for him so that he could feel the rush of making something out of nothing. That something would be himself. After quitting his job with a software startup, Harry stumbles into working on a construction site - a dangerous environment in which he has no natural instincts. As he becomes blinded by the flash of his own intensity, he exposes others to tragedy. He also becomes involved with Minnie Sollis, an unadorned, self-propelled woman who demands serious things of him. He learns how vulnerability can make love possible. My Name on a Grain of Rice by Richard Voigt is a story grounded in the complexities of emotional uncertainty, personal definition, and physical fear.
