Book Description
SƆRAMBLƎD exemplifies the struggles faced by many individuals with learning disabilities. Its main character - Matt Walsh - is a twenty-something adult whose learning disability is the root cause of persistent angst, frustration and turmoil as he tries desperately to achieve, to succeed both in his career - and in his personal life. The novel attempts to describe Matt's inner-most thoughts as he works to better himself and overcome his skill deficits. His anxiety - and life's common distractions - often get the better of him as he strives to move up the ladder toward career security. In addition to coping with his work-related issues, Matt has fallen in love with Sarah - a beautiful and talented woman with a budding medical career. She is fully aware of Matt's learning issues, loves him for his perseverance and his innate talents, and supports his desire and efforts at improvement. But, Matt's love for Sarah causes him additional anxiety. He needlessly worries that he can't meet her expectations. And he fears moving forward with her until he can provide financially for her and the family they both want. The pages of SƆRAMBLƎD will show you how Matt perseverates on his difficulties. You'll meet individuals who play a role in Matt's life, realize the opportunities they present, and learn how Matt reacts to them. You'll see how his strength of will helps him succeed and how his fears almost undo all of his hard work. And you'll see how his intense love for Sarah both energizes and nearly paralyzes him. In the end, does Matt truly succeed? Is he able to gain control over his learning, his career, his personal life? These questions, and more, are all answered in "SƆRAMBLƎD."

Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
There are good recipes and there are great ones—and then, there are genius recipes. ONE OF THE NEW YORKER’S FIFTEEN ESSENTIAL COOKBOOKS Genius recipes surprise us and make us rethink the way we cook. They might involve an unexpectedly simple technique, debunk a kitchen myth, or apply a familiar ingredient in a new way. They’re handed down by luminaries of the food world and become their legacies. And, once we’ve folded them into our repertoires, they make us feel pretty genius too. In this collection are 100 of the smartest and most remarkable ones. There isn’t yet a single cookbook where you can find Marcella Hazan’s Tomato Sauce with Onion and Butter, Jim Lahey’s No-Knead Bread, and Nigella Lawson’s Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake—plus dozens more of the most talked about, just-crazy-enough-to-work recipes of our time. Until now. These are what Food52 Executive Editor Kristen Miglore calls genius recipes. Passed down from the cookbook authors, chefs, and bloggers who made them legendary, these foolproof recipes rethink cooking tropes, solve problems, get us talking, and make cooking more fun. Every week, Kristen features one such recipe and explains just what’s so brilliant about it in the James Beard Award-nominated Genius Recipes column on Food52. Here, in this book, she compiles 100 of the most essential ones—nearly half of which have never been featured in the column—with tips, riffs, mini-recipes, and stunning photographs from James Ransom, to create a cooking canon that will stand the test of time. Once you try Michael Ruhlman’s fried chicken or Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s hummus, you’ll never want to go back to other versions. But there’s also a surprising ginger juice you didn’t realize you were missing and will want to put on everything—and a way to cook white chocolate that (finally) exposes its hidden glory. Some of these recipes you’ll follow to a T, but others will be jumping-off points for you to experiment with and make your own. Either way, with Kristen at the helm, revealing and explaining the genius of each recipe, Genius Recipes is destined to become every home cook’s go-to resource for smart, memorable cooking—because no one cook could have taught us so much.
