The Gourmet Garage Cookbook: 200 Everyday Recipes Using Fresh and Exotic Ingredients from Around the World
Sheryl London , and Mel London Manufacturer: Owl Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0805066403 |
Amazon.com
There are 185 recipes in Sheryl and Mel London's Gourmet Garage Cookbook, a text that runs close to 500 pages. This should tell you that the authors have a lot to say between recipes. And what they write about is food, from both the cook's and the food shopper's perspective. New York City's Gourmet Garage, offering at bargain prices food products of a kind and quality only found in the best restaurant kitchens, is their inspiration.The Londons organize their book as though they are pushing a shopping cart down one aisle of Gourmet Garage and then up another. First to appear is garlic, then onions, leeks, shallots, scallions, and ramps. Last to appear is bread. In between you'll find chapters devoted to leafy greens, root vegetables, mushrooms, squash, tomatoes, salad, dried beans, pasta, shellfish, meat, apples, berries, nuts, cheese, caviar, and smoked fish. Each chapter opens with brief notes about the product at hand. In the chapter "Demystifying the Unfamiliar Vegetables," for example, the authors include notes about jicama, salsify, sunchokes, cardoon, okra, and burdock root. These notes not only explain a little of the natural history of each plant, but also how to prep and cook them. In the Shop Smart sections the authors explain what to look for and how to buy the best representatives of any product. And then the recipes. In the case of the "Unfamiliar Vegetables" chapter, there are seven recipes that range from Jicama Salad with Blood Oranges and Mizuna to Beef with Burdock and Shiitake Mushrooms, Japanese Style.
Obviously, you won't find a Gourmet Garage everywhere you go. But it hardly matters. An exciting variety of food products can be found in markets throughout the U.S. The Gourmet Garage Cookbook is a road atlas to the best of what's available. More than a cookbook, it's a cook's resource. --Schuyler Ingle

The Presidents' Doctor : An Insider's View of Three First Families
Milton F., III Heller Manufacturer: Vantage Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0533131596 |
Book Description
The Presidents' Doctor: An Insider's View of Three First Families is a biography of the late Joel Thompson Boone, Vice Admiral, Medical Corps, U.S. Navy (Retired). It touches on all aspects of this man's diverse career, with emphasis on the eleven years he served as physician/confidant to three First FamiliesHarding, Coolidge and Hoover.This extraordinary person served his nation with great distinction as naval officer, physician, humanitarian and administrator in the first part of the twentieth century. Joel Boone was a fighterfor his country, for upholding the highest standards of the medical profession, in helping his fellow man and woman, and in repelling repeated threats to his own health.
Boone was born and brought up in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania. Son of a hard drinking and demanding father, a feed merchant, the lad had a rough start in life, losing his mother at an early age, enduring subsequently the presence of a mean-spirited stepsister, and working from dawn to dusk before and after school with only a cold plate for supper. But late in his teens, things began to look up when he met Helen Koch, the young lady who was to become his wife and helpmate in pursuing a long and fascinating life. Then the opportunity to spend his senior high school year at Mercersburg Academy, a fine preparatory school, made an important contribution to his education and personal development. It also led to a close and lasting association with the school.
Upon graduation from Mercersburg and Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia, Boone joined the navy and served with the Marines in Haiti and then again in World War I in France with the Second Division. It was this front-line exposure that offered the opportunity for heroic deeds and led to an incredible record as the most highly decorated member of the navy medical service.
Having gained the attention of senior naval officers as a result of earning the Congressional Medal of Honor among other decorations in France, Boone and his wife, Helen, were invited in 1922 to the White House for tea with First Lady Florence Harding. Only later did they learn that the purpose was to determine whether Boone was socially acceptable as a candidate for the position of medical officer aboard the presidential yacht, the USS Mayflower. Soon the man who might have become just another country doctor found himself on the national stage, with responsibility for caring for the health of the nation's chief executive, his family and staff. No one was to become better acquainted with the personalitiesone might even say White House secretsof the administrations of the 1920s. Boone was a figure of importance, in a position to know a great deal. By the end of his life, he could count nine presidents--Harding through Nixon--as friends.
Following White House duty, Boone served at sea and ashore in various capacities, including duty with Admiral William F. Halsey as Third Fleet Medical Officer. At the end of World War II, he was the first person to go ashore in the Tokyo Bay area, where, characteristically, he sought out and found many hundreds of neglected, war-weary U.S. and other Allied prisoners. During the administration of President Harry S Truman, Boone led a historic medical survey of the bituminous coal industry, which was cited in congressional hearings as recently as May 17, 2000. Subsequently, he managed the world's largest non-military hospital system as chief medical director of the Veterans Administration. Following an extended illness, Boone died on April 2, 1974.
Boone was a maverick who did not consider himself a maverick because he usually adhered to convention, dressing immaculately, paying attention to protocols of the navy and society, applying strict moral and ethical codes to himself as well as to others. He did not look the part, as he was a mere 5 feet 6, but he had a mind that sought to make sense out of every situation he encountered, and if it did not make sense he said so.
Boone's independence caused him to risk confrontation that most other officers would have sidestepped.
He was willing to incur the wrath of a patient, the President of the United States, in an effort to protect the health of the president and his family in a manner the president found distasteful.
He did not hesitate to tell his incompetent boss, the surgeon general of the navy, that he should resign in the best interests of navy medicine.
He insisted on treating a patient needing help despite the orders of a superior not to do so.
He testified to congress in opposition to plans of his boss to close military hospitals that Boone felt were needed.
He lectured medical colleagues on perceived greed and failure to consider best interests of the patient above all else.
There was another notable characteristic. Boone considered himself on an equal footing with line officers and on occasion fought as one of them, ignoring the tradition of subservience associated with the role of a staff officer. This certainly contributed to his nonpareil war record.
In recognition of Boone's outstanding achievements, including those as a leader of a number of organizations, his name has been memorialized by attaching it to a navy medical clinic in Little Creek, Virginia, Boone Hall at Mercersburg Academy, an annual award of the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States, and the USS Boone, a guided missile frigate still in active service in 2000.
Boone kept voluminous notes and collected a mass of documents, photographs and newspaper clippings, which in later years of life he organized in a huge account as a basis for an autobiography. Failing health prevented him from fulfilling that ambition. Now for the first time, his life story is told by his son-in-law in The Presidents' Doctor.

Fascinating Presidential History.......2000-11-23
As I read Mr. Heller's descriptions, I pictured myself in the shoes of Dr. Boone and his family. Imagine meeting, providing medical care to and socializing with key national (and in some cases international) leaders and then at the end of the day returning to "regular" home life and routines.
The book captures the spirit of the times it covers. As an example, the reader can easily imagine the scene of President Harding and his entourage on their meandering, transcontinental train trip followed by an ocean voyage to Alaska and then a last train trip down the Pacific Coast to San Francisco where Harding met his untimely death. Indeed, in our current era of ever-faster communication, it is hard to conceive of a President running the nation without the benefit of airplanes, televisions, computers, fax machines, cell phones, etc. Yet, despite the lack of these conveniences, the leaders of the time somehow were able to manage the country.
In summary, I highly recommend The Presidents' Doctor for an absorbing and personalized account of three Presidential administrations and life in the U.S. in the early part of the 20th century through the perspective of the extremely dedicated and talented White House physician, Dr. Joel Boone.
Incredible Man - Incredible Feats.......2000-11-18
As a novel, however, it would have one fatal problem. As my English professor used to say, it would lack "an aura of verisimilitude". To put it in plain English, "You wouldn't believe it!".
However, it's not a novel. It is a well researched and thoroughly documented LIVE history book. It describes an absolutely incredible man, who performed absolutely incredible feats in his admirable life.
A few examples:
Joel Boone was a medical doctor. He was awarded a congressional medal of honor, the nation's highest award for bravery, while he was serving as a doctor! There are few enough medal of honor winners, but did you ever hear of a doctor - a non-combatant - winning one? Now you have.
In his early days he led and commanded troops in combat, even though his commission was as a medical officer.
He served several U.S. presidents and their families as their doctor.
Any one of these by itself is interesting and unusual. Taken all together they are unheard of - until now.
The book has a tremendous advantage over a novel. Since it reports on a real person, who really did these astonishing things, you have to believe they really happened. Poetic license would never get you this far. This is a book you don't want to miss.

Book Description
In 1991, when my father was 81, the nature of our relationship changed in ways I wasnÂ't prepared for. His doctor diagnosed an advanced case of arteriosclerosis. (We wondered if it was AlzheimerÂ's disease.) Over four years, my father progressively lost his memory. Our roles reversed as daughter became parent, parent became child.My father lived with my husband and I, our adult son and teenage daughter until one month before he died. During this time, minor health problems become harder to treat when the patient doesnÂ't remember. Hearing aids lead a life of their own. An eye operation becomes a maddening experience.
Spirituality is a recurrent theme. I share my reliance on help from above, and my regular, informal talks with God. My Catholic father attended a Jewish Day Care Center when it wasnÂ't safe for him to stay home alone.
Our story could be anyoneÂ's story, only change the names, dates, and places. After hearing about my day, a friend confided, ÂAs bad as my day was, yours is always worse. After reading our story, I hope you will say the same.

Understanding the Euro: The Clear and Concise Guide to the New Trans-European Currency
Christian N. Chabot Manufacturer: Mcgraw-Hill ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0071343881 |
Amazon.com
Christian N. Chabot's Understanding the Euro is a well-rounded guide to the world's newest currency--whether you're planning to do business in Europe or just visit. Written in an easy-to-read question-and-answer format, the book shows how the euro is transforming Europe into a global economic powerhouse. Chabot writes, "This monetary revolution creates the second largest economic bloc in the world, a single market of almost 300 million people, a drastically changed European business environment and the first potential challenge to the supremacy of the US dollar." Chabot gives a concise history of the idea, which stems from Winston Churchill's call for a united European nation in 1946. He also looks at the risks and opportunities that the euro presents to both managers and investors and includes helpful charts that neatly summarize Euroland's 11 economies. --Dan RingBook Description

A fast and easy Euro primer.......2000-10-03
The only caveat is that if you're really into the mathematical and graphical side of economics -- this puppy ain't for you. If you look at the overload of math that Krugman's International Economics textbook gives you, this pales in comparison. I wish it had more of that, if only so that on those nights I can't sleep, I have one more resource to use. But that's what I have my girlfriend's stories for.
Anyway, go buy it. It's good.

An Involuntary Genius in America's Shoes: (And What Happened Afterwards)
Andrei Codrescu Manufacturer: Black Sparrow Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1574231596 |
Product Description
In New York City in 1969, Andrei Codrescu, a Romanian poet just beginning to master the American vernacular, began writing The Life & Times of an Involuntary Genius (1975), a memoir of antic Communist youth now recognized as a classic of comic self-creation. "There I was, twenty-three years old, the possessor of a wealth of experience which had already spawned an equal if not greater quantity of mythicizing anecdotes."
Anecdote 1: He was the intellectual love child of Transylvania's great culture heroes, Dracula and Ionesco, twin totems of the Immortal and the Absurd. Anecdote 2: He was a political exile from Communist Europe, and everyone knows that all exiles are geniuses. A later anecdote the one about the enormous file the INS had collected on him and his left-wing Neo-Beat activities provides the subject of the sequel, In America's Shoes (1983), the mock epic of his quest to become a U.S. citizen.
This new book collects both of Codrescu's memoirs, together with the now-middle-aged author's wry notes on the young man who wrote them. While traveling the road from the Balkan forest to the land of the free, he writes, "I never abandoned my rebellious Romanian generation, within which I'd been raised a baby dissident destined for great things and prison. I just put on a cape ' a Dracula cape, with a star-spangled lining ' to complete the picture."
