"The combination of headnotes and recipes [in A Feast of Ice and Fire] almost reaches the Elizabeth David level of 'put down this book, get out of bed and start cooking.' ... And with their adherence to the imagined geography of Westeros, the authors also might actually outdo Alice Waters in local and seasonal cooking." -Newsweek Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer co-run Inn at the Crossroads, a popular food blog based on A Song of Ice and Fire. Both avid fans of the fantasy genre, they bring to the table a unique combination of artistry, historical knowledge, and love of food.

Ever wonder what it’s like to attend a feast at Winterfell? Wish you could split a lemon cake with Sansa Stark, scarf down a pork pie with the Night’s Watch, or indulge in honeyfingers with Daenerys Targaryen? George R. R. Martin’s bestselling saga A Song of Ice and Fire and the runaway hit HBO series Game of Thrones are renowned for bringing Westeros’s sights and sounds to vivid life. But one important ingredient has always been missing: the mouthwatering dishes that form the backdrop of this extraordinary world. Now, fresh out of the series that redefined fantasy, comes the cookbook that may just redefine dinner . . . and lunch, and breakfast.
 
A passion project from superfans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer—and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himself—A Feast of Ice and Fire lovingly replicates a stunning range of cuisines from across the Seven Kingdoms and beyond. From the sumptuous delicacies enjoyed in the halls of power at King’s Landing, to the warm and smoky comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the mysterious lands east of Westeros, there’s a flavor for every palate, and a treat for every chef.
 
These easy-to-follow recipes have been refined for modern cooking techniques, but adventurous eaters can also attempt the authentic medieval meals that inspired them. The authors have also suggested substitutions for some of the more fantastical ingredients, so you won’t have to stock your kitchen with camel, live doves, or dragon eggs to create meals fit for a king (or a khaleesi). In all, A Feast of Ice and Fire contains more than 100 recipes, divided by region:
 
• The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge
• The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples
• The South: Cream Swans; Trout Wrapped in Bacon; Stewed Rabbit; Sister’s Stew; Blueberry Tarts
• King’s Landing: Lemon Cakes; Quails Drowned in Butter; Almond Crusted Trout; Bowls of Brown; Iced Milk with Honey
• Dorne: Stuffed Grape Leaves; Duck with Lemons; Chickpea Paste
• Across the Narrow Sea: Biscuits and Bacon; Tyroshi Honeyfingers; Wintercakes; Honey-Spiced Locusts
 
There’s even a guide to dining and entertaining in the style of the Seven Kingdoms. Exhaustively researched and reverently detailed, accompanied by passages from all five books in the series and full-color photographs guaranteed to whet your appetite, this is the companion to the blockbuster phenomenon that millions of stomachs have been growling for. And remember, winter is coming—so don’t be afraid to put on a few pounds.

Includes a Foreword by George R. R. Martin

IN LOVE!!!! Holy crap. I love this book! Most of the recipes have a medieval version and then a modern version.I just made bread from the book and although I'm not an expert at bread making, I'm not a novice either. I make bread fairly often and this very simple medieval version of bread blew my mind! I made two loaves, plus 4 mini rolls.Although the book says to let it rise for 3 hours it's pretty warm in my apartment so my dough rose completely in just one. I tried to wait the 10 minutes to let it rest but I couldn't help myself and tore into it and oh my gosh what have I been doing? The bread was crunchy. It was Fluffy. It was flavorful.In the picture with the four rolls I made 4 flavors.Top left to right: sea salt and cracked pepper, honey and cinnamon.Bottom left to right: parsley and thyme, just the regular dough.I ate one of the rolls already that's why the book is in my lap because even with one roll I am So satisfied I didn't want to get up to take a pretty picture. Lol. I am not a dessert person at all. I don't like sweets, I don't drink Cokes, I like salt. but there are a couple recipes in here that I cannot wait to try when it gets a but there are a couple dessert recipes in here that I cannot wait to try!! And they're so natural most of them call for a few ingredients. And you can choose whether you want to make the slightly harder medieval version or the slightly easier modern version and it's so much better than having fake chemical filled chocolate mix when you can make a blueberry tart yourself.Not strictly for GoT fare, but good traditional dishes I bought this as a gift for a GoT fan. To be honest, as someone who hasn't read/watched the series myself, I like this cookbook. It's basically lots of old and traditional english recipes brought to more modern standards with occasional GoT place names and characters sometimes thrown onto the front of the recipe name to bring it back to the series theme. I flipped through and didn't see anything that looked truly original - as though it was made completely and totally fresh for the novel series, but it all looked good. Beautiful pictures of the dishes. Nicely put together.Great Cookbook For Game Of Thrones Viewing Parties I usually have weekly viewings at my place for GAME OF THRONES! (that's how I say it whenever I mention it), and friends are always invited to come over. I wanted to do a special thing for the Season 6 premiere and make GAME OF THRONES! snacks mentioned or inspired by the show. This official cookbook is the book to own for that purpose.I love a majority of the meals/snacks in here, mainly the sweets. Most of them are easy to make, and every single one I've made so far has a new taste for your mouth. Some of my personal favorites, so far, are:From King's Landing:• Lemon Cakes (Sansa's favorite, and soon to be yours)• Iced Milk with Honey (so tasty!)From The North:• Crusty Bread, with honey or olive oil dip (I never made bread before until now)There are still a few left on my to-cook list. I would love to make Dornish Fiery Rattlesnake, but I've yet to find that available in New York City. They do sell pigeons though, for Pigeon Pie. I'll let you know how that turns out.You're sure to find something you'll enjoy eating in this book. Recommended.

The Secret Life of Violet Grant (The Schuler Sisters Novels) Download

ISBN: 0425274845
Title: The Secret Life of Violet Grant (The Schuler Sisters Novels) Pdf
Author: Beatriz Williams
Published Date: 2015-05-05
Page: 528

“A riveting tale.”—US Weekly “Another substantive beach read steeped in history and familial intrigue…Readers will love wallowing in the twists and turns of this irresistibly luxurious tale.”—Booklist “A story of passion, redemption and a battered suitcase full of mysteries.”—Greenwich Time “Fabulous...a perfect summer read.”—Examiner.com “Another absorbing page-turner filled with romance and secrets.”—Library Journal “Mysterious, passionate, and engrossing.”—Popsugar “Hard to stop reading.”—The Missourian “A smashing summer read.”—Historical Novels Review Beatriz Williams lives with her husband and children in Connecticut. She is the New York Times bestselling author of Along the Infinite Sea, Tiny Little Thing, The Secret Life of Violet Grant, A Hundred Summers, and Overseas. She also writes under the pseudonym Juliana Gray.

A story of love and intrigue that travels from Kennedy-era Manhattan to World War I Europe from the New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Wives.

Fresh from college, irrepressible Vivian Schuyler defies her wealthy Fifth Avenue family to work at cutthroat Metropolitan magazine. But this is 1964, and the editor dismisses her…until a parcel lands on Vivian’s Greenwich Village doorstep that starts a journey into the life of an aunt she never knew, who might give her just the story she’s been waiting for.

In 1912, Violet Schuyler Grant moved to Europe to study physics, and made a disastrous marriage to a philandering fellow scientist. As the continent edges closer to the brink of war, a charismatic British army captain enters her life, drawing her into an audacious gamble that could lead to happiness…or disaster.

Fifty years later, Violet’s ultimate fate remains shrouded in mystery. But the more obsessively Vivian investigates her disappearing aunt, the more she realizes all they have in common—and that Violet’s secret life is about to collide with hers.

A People StyleWatch “Must Read Book”
One of Reader’s Digest’s Top Summer Thrillers of the Year

Really all of her books are great! Such a fun book! It was recommended to me by a friend, and surprisingly it was cheaper for me to buy the paperback through Amazon than to download the Kindle version. This turned out to be a good thing, since I have lent it out to multiple friends now!The main character is so incredibly likeable and sassy, I knew I was going to enjoy this book from the first few pages onward. It didn't disappoint.As I get older and grumpier, I have less tolerance for bad writing. This is well-written but not stuffy.This would be a fantastic summer beach or pool read. Or a vacation read. Or a stuck in the house on a drizzly day read.Went from this to two other Beatriz Williams books that follow the other two sisters. Also enjoyable!Not a Good Representative of Beatriz Williams Books Just finished A Hundred Summers and loved it, but really did not like this book at all. Of the two characters Vivian (present) and Violet (past) I could not stand the Vivian character and her storyline and I skimmed through all of her chapters as fast as I could turn the pages. I enjoyed the Violet character and her storyline but it was pretty predictable. Since this book was titled the Secret Life of Violet Grant I wish the whole book had been about her. There seemed to be no real point in the present Vivian character and her lifestyle and life choices were laughable. Overall I have to say I do not recommend this book. I can't understand all the rave reviews.Two, two, two stories intertwined. The author did a nice job of changing the voice for to two time periods. I enjoyed the descriptions of the environments - not only the "costumes," but the settings including transport and what people were drinking etc. - good use of research. Lots of twists in the WWI era story, but I thought the turns in the later 20th century story were somewhat predictable though dealt with in a slightly non-stereotypical way. I liked the growth of the Vivian character. I didn't expect the story to have as much depth as it did so I gave it a higher rating than I might have to a quirky romance.

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Download

ISBN: B01N2QEZE2
Title: The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Pdf The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power
The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior.

Shoshana Zuboff's interdisciplinary breadth and depth enable her to come to grips with the social, political, business, and technological meaning of the changes taking place in our time. We are at a critical juncture in the confrontation between the vast power of giant high-tech companies and government, the hidden economic logic of surveillance capitalism, and the propaganda of machine supremacy that threaten to shape and control human life. Will the brazen new methods of social engineering and behavior modification threaten individual autonomy and democratic rights and introduce extreme new forms of social inequality? Or will the promise of the digital age be one of individual empowerment and democratization?

The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the twenty-first century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

How to contest and interrupt, then contain and vanquish an unprecedented threat to the human race As Shoshana Zuboff explains, "This book is about the darkening of the digital dream and its rapid mutation into a voracious and utterly novel commercial project that I call surveillance capitalism."She provides an abundance of information, insights, and counsel that she hopes will help those who read her book to contest and interrupt, then contain and vanquish an unprecedented threat to the human race. "At its core, surveillance capitalism is parasitic and self-referential. It revives Karl Marx's image of capitalism as a vampire that feeds on labor, but with an unexpected turn. Instead of labor, surveillance capitalism feeds on every aspect of every human experience."According to Zuboff, her book documents "a journey to encounter what is strange, original, and even unimaginable in surveillance capitalism. She examines several major organizations -- notably Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft -- that are in various stages of developing a "technologically advanced and increasingly inescapable raw-material-extraction-operation." Her journey's ultimate destination? "Our aim in this book is to discern the laws of surveillance capitalism that animate today's Trojan horses, returning us to age-old questions as they bear down on our lives, our societies, and our civilization."Zuboff carefully explains how and why "surveillance capitalism operates through unprecedented asymmetries in knowledge and the power that accrues to knowledge." The result: "Our lives are scraped and sold to fund the freedom of surveillance capitalists and our subjugation," juxtaposing "their knowledge and our ignorance about what they know." Indeed, they know too much to qualify for freedom.How to respond effectively to the potential dangers of surveillance capitalism, to what she so aptly characterizes as "an overthrow of the people's sovereignty and a prominent force in the perilous drift toward democratic deconsolidation that now threatens Western liberal democracies"? As the material cited in her Notes section clearly indicates (Pages 537-663), Shoshana Zuboff has conducted wide and deep research to support her recommendations.If knowledge has power, and I think it can, those who possess knowledge that has the greatest power will have a decisive competitive advantage over those who do not. Zuboff shares what she has learned from others in order to support what becomes a call to action. In John 8:32, Jesus is quoted as saying, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Sustaining totalitarianism depends on severely limited access to knowledge but first it must be obtained by surveillance.The tone of her book reminds me in some respects of Thomas Paine's Common Sense and Rights of Man. That is, both urge their reader to awaken to a serious danger and defeat it while they can before it is too late. "The Berlin Wall fell for many reasons, but above all it was because the people of East Berlin said, 'No more!' We too can be the authors of many 'great and beautiful' new facts that reclaim the digital future as humanity's home. No more! Let this be our declaration."I am again reminded of two questions attributed to Hillel the Elder: “If not you, who? If not now, when?”
