Book Description
Ashleigh Levin knows exactly how to appeal to a younger generation of would-be cooks, first timers venturing on their own in the kitchen, who want to impress their loved ones and friends with delicious meals that don’t require a formal culinary training to achieve. At the same time, competent cooks will find a wealth of ideas to inspire even the most jaded of palates. Ashleigh’s own love affair with food started in her grandmother’s kitchen when she was about the same height as the kitchen table. As she says of one occasion, ‘In that second of pancake-fuelled ecstasy, I saw for the very first time the utter perfection of food and its ability to bring people you love together...’ With her conversational writing style, in Home Cooked & Heart Warming Ashleigh will take you on a journey that’s filled with memories, delicious flavours, lots of butter and the freedom to try your own tweaks, to make sure the recipes work for you, and never forgetting a relaxing glass of wine to accompany it all. The titles of the recipes are evocative and tell you all you need to know or tease you to try out an intriguing idea, for instance Restorative butternut and ginger soup with chickpea sprinkles, Fall-apart lamb, My mother’s sticky chicken, Dirty ballerina Pavlova and Sunday funday martinis.

Book Description
A recipe collection and how-to guide for preparing base ingredients that can be used to make simple, weeknight meals, while also teaching skills like building and cooking over a fire, and preserving meat and produce, written by a sustainable food expert and founder of Belcampo Meat Co. Anya Fernald’s approach to cooking is anything but timid: rich sauces, meaty ragus, perfectly charred vegetables. And her execution is unfussy, with the singular goal of making delicious, exuberantly flavored, unpretentious food with the best ingredients. Inspired by the humble traditions of cucina povera, the frugal cooking of Italian peasants, Anya brings a forgotten pragmatism to home cooking, making use of seasonal bounty by canning and preserving fruits and vegetables, salt curing fish, simmering flavorful broths with leftover bones, and transforming tough cuts of meat into supple stews and sauces with long cooking. These building blocks become the basis for a kitchen repertoire that is inspired, thrifty, environmentally sound, and most importantly, bursting with flavor. Recipes like Red Pepper and Walnut Crema, Green Tomato and Caper Salad, Chickpea Torte, Cracked Crab with Lemon-Chile Vinaigrette, Veal Meatballs, Anise-Seed Breakfast Cookies, and Ligurian Sangria will add dimension and excitement to both weeknight meals and parties. We all want to be better, more intuitive, more relaxed cooks—not just for the occasional dinner party, but every day. Punctuated by essays on the author’s approach to entertaining, cooking with cast-iron, and a primer on buying and cooking steak, Home Cooked is an antidote to the chef and restaurant books that leave you no roadmap for tonight’s dinner. With Home Cooked, Anya gives you the confidence, and the recipes, to love cooking again. — Saveur, Best of 2016

Book Description
Four sweet, Christian romances centered around your favorite holidays! Valentine's Day: Waiting on Love Will this Valentine's Day be a disappointment like all of the others? Valerie Thomas is a waitress at Bishop's Diner. Every Valentine's Day, she watches as couples come in to celebrate their love while she stands by with no one special in her life. As the holiday approaches, she begins to dread all things pink, red, and heart-shaped. Then one day, everything changes. Valerie discovers a box with her name on it, a gift from a secret admirer with a poem promising her Cupid will make sure this is the best Valentine's Day ever. As the presents continue to show up, Valerie tries to figure out who is sending them. Is it a patron? A friend from church? Or the handsome older brother of one of her friends? One thing is for certain: thanks to her secret Cupid, this Valentine's Day will be different than all the rest! Will she finally find her forever Valentine? St. Patrick's Day: Shamrock Hearts Will Erin be lucky in love? Erin O'Connell takes a trip to Ireland to visit her grandparents over the St. Patrick's Day holiday. When she runs into Luke Farrell at the airport--literally--their worlds collide as well. Even though she's upset about the spilled coffee she's forced to wear, once she gets to know him, Erin becomes enamored with Luke. There's just one problem: he's going home, which means he lives in Ireland, and Erin isn't looking for a long-distance romance. She decides to say goodbye and concentrate on spending time with her family, taking in the wondrous country that is Ireland. But as the days pass, she finds herself thinking of Luke often, wondering if she'd made the right decision. Should she have given Luke a chance? Will Erin and Luke be lucky in love, or will they both spend St. Patrick's Day alone? Easter: A Blossoming Spring Romance Love is in bloom in the small town of Charles Town, West Virginia. Sophie Chambers is happy for all of her friends who have recently found love, but she is too busy working as a dental hygienist for cranky old Dr. Mitchells, and helping with the children's Easter program at church, to go looking for the man of her dreams. When Dr. Mitchells announces his retirement, Sophie just prays that his replacement will be someone nice. She gets much more than she bargains for when handsome Dr. Zach Kemper takes over the practice. Will their relationship bloom into something more, or will Sophie have to settle for being the doctor's employee and friend? Dr. Zach Kemper relocates to Charles Town to escape the memories of his wife who lost her life in a tragic accident a few years ago. He's not looking for love, but Sophie certainly catches his eye. However, she works for him, and he isn't sure dating an employee is the best idea. Will the new doctor find a spring romance? Fourth of July: Firecracker! Will Macey's chance at summer romance go up in smoke? Small town florist Macey Edwards is focused on running her small business.

Book Description
Nobody does smart, screwball romantic comedy quite like Sophie Kinsella, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Shopaholic series. In these four stand-alone novels, Kinsella’s charming heroines juggle work life, love life—and sometimes, even the afterlife—to heartwarming and hilarious effect. This must-have eBook bundle includes: CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET? “Move over, Bridget [Jones]! . . . Kinsella’s witty take on mundane office and family life will really make you laugh out loud.”—Evening Chronicle (UK) Emma Corrigan has a huge heart, an irrepressible spirit, and a few little secrets. Secrets from her boyfriend, secrets from her mother . . . secrets she wouldn’t share with anyone in the world. Until she spills them all to a handsome stranger on a plane, who, she later discovers, just so happens to be Jack Harper, her company’s elusive CEO—a man who now knows every humiliating detail about her. THE UNDOMESTIC GODDESS “Another charming winner from the delightful Kinsella.”—Booklist Samantha Sweeting, a workaholic attorney at a London law firm, has just made a huge, unthinkable mistake, wrecking her chance of becoming partner. Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her office, boards a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she’s mistaken for an interviewee and is offered a job as their housekeeper. And as she figures out how to turn on the oven and how to open the #@%# ironing board, she finds that this new life may be exactly what she is looking for. REMEMBER ME? “A delicious page-turner.”—USA Today When twenty-eight-year-old Lexi Smart wakes up in a London hospital, she’s in for a big surprise. Having survived a car accident, Lexi has lost a big chunk of her memory—three years to be exact—and somehow she’s gone from being a twenty-five-year-old working girl to being a corporate big shot with a sleek loft, a personal assistant, and a gorgeous husband. Will she ever remember how this all came to be? And what will happen when she does? TWENTIES GIRL “Kinsella [is] a master of comic pacing and feminine wit.”—Publishers Weekly Lara Lington’s imagination seems to be in overdrive. Normal twenty-something young women don’t get visited by ghosts. Or do they? When the spirit of Lara’s great-aunt Sadie mysteriously appears, she has one request: Lara must find a missing necklace that was in Sadie’s possession for more than seventy-five years. And in their mission, these very different “twenties” girls learn some surprising truths from and about each other. BONUS: This eBook bundle also includes an excerpt from Sophie Kinsella's Wedding Night.
