"Food With Spirit: Alcohol-Infused Recipes, the latest book from chef, author, and television personality Alicia Shevetone, is a delightful look into the imaginative spirit of one of America's most innovative culinary artists. Shevetone is the founder of DINK Cuisine (Dual Income No Kids) where cooking is focused on rightsizing portions for smaller households. The approach takes form in this book by providing two versions of each recipe that serve either two people or four people. This also helps address another issue that Shevetone is passionate about: the elimination of food waste. Food With Spirit is a unique approach that meets a need often overlooked by modern cookbooks-cooking for one or two without creating massive amounts of leftovers and without sacrificing flavor. Food With Spirit is 116 pages and features fifty recipes spread across five sections. Appetizers Soups Entrees Sides Desserts Each is complemented with beautiful photos. All fifty recipes are infused with some of our favorite intoxicants, from spiced rum to the smooth flavors of cognac"--

If you are bothered by greenwashing, baffled by eco-denialism, and bewildered by our seemingly inexorable march toward global environmental catastrophe, this book is for you. In a not-so-distant future, in a world ravaged by climate change and invasive pests, humanity still chooses self-deception over sacrifice. Even the ubiquitous green flies buzzing around our heads don't concentrate our minds on what humanity's survival requires. When a sly US Senator and a jaded propagandist concoct a longshot and cynically opportunistic "environmentalist" campaign for the Presidency, it looks like just more of the old, phony politics. But then things start to get real. And hilarious. And hopeful. Because the politician and the propagandist start to care about the planet. As they begin telling voters the truth, they also stop lying to themselves. If you remain hopeful that maybe it's not too late, that against the odds humanity might still get it together and face reality - and especially if you haven't lost your sense of humor -- you will love The Environmental Alarmist.

Born in Italy during World War II, Salvatore Forcina was a young boy who survived all odds by living through his young childhood without any real or proper shelter. Like many Italians during this time, a month after turning eight years old his parents followed this migration to Argentina, a developing country at the time rich with natural resources and hope for a more stable life. Sent away to live with Redemptorist priests for seven long years as the only available option to study, this young boy struggled emotionally and psychologically with no social outlets and little emotional development. Salvatore's dream to study medicine and help people propelled him to carry on and continue his education, eventually being educated and living on three different continents, each with a new language to learn and master. Despite his meager beginnings which provided no social and little educational opportunity and despite the many years and setbacks it took him to accomplish this, his goal was ultimately accomplished because of his sheer determination. This true-life story is motivating, uplifting and based on what genuine love of family can provide to someone.

The Duck Book is a picture book aimed at children of all ages, and their parents. It is designed to encourage dialogue between kids and parents, and to bring laughter and entertainment. It is filled with absurd questions and situations, like "Have you ever made a giraffe laugh?" combined with just such a picture, or "Have you ever grown a carrot too big for your pet pig?" Again with a picture. Also, "Have you ever shared a cake with a snake?" Now beginning to explore fear of all kinds, but lightly. All the many situations allowing kids to expand their imaginations. like "Do you sometimes get ahead of yourself?" Pictured on a trapeze, or "If you could fly would you land in a cherry pie?" with a very messy illustration. Absurdity is the key word, and the situations are flexible, and hopefully always funny, and unlimited in variety, for example, "Can you hoot like an owl?", or do you share hot dogs with friendly frogs?" Or "If you pull a whale's tail, do you go to whale jail?"
