Title: 150 Best Tagine Recipes: Including Tantalizing Recipes for Spice Blends & Accompaniments
Author: CROCKER PAT


Authentic yet easy-to prepare recipes that take their inspiration from Morocco.

Tagine takes its name both from a Moroccan dish as well as the pot in which the dish is cooked -- typically a large and shallow pot with a conical lid. Tagines involve the slow simmering of meats or vegetables along with a medley of herbs and spices, the result being an aromatic and intoxicating combination of taste and texture.

This book offers a comprehensive history of traditional Moroccan tagine cooking, including an extensive "Tagine Know-How" section that answers all possible questions about tagines and cooking with tagines, as well as a "North African Flavor Footprint" section that profiles the 20 herbs and spices that give authentic flavor to these dishes.

Home cooks can bring Morocco into their kitchens with these tantalizing dishes:

• Cinnamon lamb tagine with apricots
• Honey-ginger vegetable tagine
• Beef tagine with figs and walnuts
• Artichoke and shellfish in almond milk
• Minted lemon whitefish
• Saffron shrimp tagine with avocados
• Pomegranate chicken tagine
• Moroccan vegetable tagine
• Fiery beef tagine with vegetables.

To round off the Moroccan experience of the meal, Pat Crocker also includes recipes for dips, sauces and authentic souk specialties (typical street foods sold in markets), salads and sides as well as the traditional beverages and sweets.

With authentic yet easy-to prepare recipes that will please both meat eaters and vegetarians, home cooks can create a true North African taste odyssey.

Title: 4 Hour Chef: The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, & Living the Good Life
Author: FERRISS TIMOTHY

WHAT IF YOU COULD BECOME WORLD-CLASS IN ANYTHING IN 6 MONTHS OR LESS?

The 4-Hour Chef isn't just a cookbook. It's a choose-your-own-adventure guide to the world of rapid learning.

#1New York Times bestselling author (and lifelong non-cook) Tim Ferriss takes you from Manhattan to Okinawa, and from Silicon Valley to Calcutta, unearthing the secrets of the world's fastest learners and greatest chefs. Ferriss uses cooking to explain "meta-learning," a step-by-step process that can be used to master anything, whether searing steak or shooting 3-pointers in basketball. That is the real "recipe" of The 4-Hour Chef.

You'll train inside the kitchen for everything outside the kitchen. Featuring tips and tricks from chess prodigies, world-renowned chefs, pro athletes, master sommeliers, super models, and everyone in between, this "cookbook for people who don't buy cookbooks" is a guide to mastering cooking and life.

The 4-Hour Chef is a five-stop journey through the art and science of learning:

1. META-LEARNING. Before you learn to cook, you must learn to learn. META charts the path to doubling your learning potential.
2. THE DOMESTIC. DOM is where you learn the building blocks of cooking. These are the ABCs (techniques) that can take you from Dr, Seuss to Shakespeare.
3. THE WILD. Becoming a master student requires self-sufficiency in all things. WILD teaches you to hunt, forage, and survive.
4. THE SCIENTIST. SCI is the mad scientist and modernist painter wrapped into one. This is where you rediscover whimsy and wonder.
5. THE PROFESSIONAL. Swaraj, a term usually associated with Mahatma Gandhi, can be translated as "self-rule." In PRO, we'll look at how the best in the world become the best in the world, and how you can chart your own path far beyond this book.

Title: Acquacotta: Recipes & Stories from Tuscany's Secret Silver Coast
Author: DAVIES EMIKO

Uncover the recipes and stories from a largely unheralded region of Tuscany, the Silver Coast; a place of wild natural beauty, idyllic coastline, crumbling hilltop villages, and a rustic, wholesome cuisine.
Acquacotta is a celebration of the traditional cuisine of a lesser known part of Tuscany, the Silver Coast, which forms part of the territory of Maremma. Acquacotta, literally meaning "cooked water," is Maremma's most famous dish, a soup made of slowly simmered tomatoes and onions and poached eggs. There are countless variations and every town has its own.
The book includes personal stories memories and lessons from the people (producers, winemakers, breeders, fisherman) Emiko has met. The Silver Coast is a geographically quite narrow area in the southernmost coastal part of the region and includes the island-like promontory of Monte Argentario, the island of Giglio, the lagoon town of Orbetello and the last Tuscan town on the border of Lazio, Capalbio. Surrounded by thick, wild boar-inhabiting, forest-covered hills and twisted, ancient olive trees, the area is known for its rustic peasant cooking, where hearty soups, hand-reared chickens or rabbits, foraged wild vegetables, mushrooms and chestnuts and wild-caught game have long provided sustenance and still colour the local cuisine. Acquacotta champions the food Emiko loves to eat and cook comforting, low-maintenance and easy to prepare. It's food that calls for sharing with friends or family, gathered around a big table. And like most peasant cuisine, it is about getting the best out of a few ingredients and providing a belly-filling meal that not only doesn't cost the earth, but is delicious.
Acquacotta offers more than 80 recipes across five chapters divided by themes: Dal Bosco which means feed from the woods and includes foraged and hunted foods; Dal Mare which means from the sea and includes typical seafood of the area including from the lagoon; Dal Orto which means from the vegetable patch; Dal Fattoria which means from the farm and include dishes inspired by the farm tradition in the area, which often includes legumes, grains, rabbit, poultry and eggs; Dolci sweets, preserves and homemade liquors."

An Economist Best Book of 2014.
A vibrant, colorful, and revelatory inner history of China during a moment of profound transformation

From abroad, we often see China as a caricature: a nation of pragmatic plutocrats and ruthlessly dedicated students destined to rule the global economy-or an addled Goliath, riddled with corruption and on the edge of stagnation. What we don't see is how both powerful and ordinary people are remaking their lives as their country dramatically changes.
As the Beijing correspondent for "The New Yorker," Evan Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval. In "Age of Ambition," he describes the greatest collision taking place in that country: the clash between the rise of the individual and the Communist Party's struggle to retain control. He asks probing questions: Why does a government with more success lifting people from poverty than any civilization in history choose to put strict restraints on freedom of expression? Why do millions of young Chinese professionals-fluent in English and devoted to Western pop culture-consider themselves "angry youth," dedicated to resisting the West's influence? How are Chinese from all strata finding meaning after two decades of the relentless pursuit of wealth?
Writing with great narrative verve and a keen sense of irony, Osnos follows the moving stories of everyday people and reveals life in the new China to be a battleground between aspiration and authoritarianism, in which only one can prevail.
