Assassin's Creed Suikastçının İnancı Seti (5 Kitap) - Oliver Bowden TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

It is rare when a cookbook conveys not only recipe and technique but soul and humor as well. Many have recipes that we enjoy making but that we wished had more of the author's reflections on the subject at hand. Even more are long on 'personality' and short on interesting and functional recipes. Screen Doors and Sweet Tea by Martha Hall Foose (Clarkson Potter/Crown) smacks of great recipes you willwant to make more than once and stories you will want read aloud while making them. The trail of a chef can seem like tracing the steps of a child set loose on a spring day; roving in no particular pattern as one thing or another is discovered, cherished, discarded or often eaten. Foose is no exception to the allegory; her dervish-path from Mississippi to France, Los Angeles, New Orleans and back again to the Delta is sprinkled here in there in her writing. It shows up in the flavors of her recipes that are recognizably southern and yet not solely of the South and in the techniques and stories that accompany each. Of particular delight is her story of how grits saved upon upon first arriving in France for culinary training; it is told with an honesty proving that some of the most provoking parts of life cannot be made up. Recipes run from what would seem to be mundane southern fare suchas fried okra to more challenging bits of our culinary repetoire such as turtle soup (complete with tongue-in-cheek directions on how to shell a turtle). Screen Doors and Sweet Tea speaks well of the cuisine and the character of the South. It will prove to be a trusty guide along your own culinary trail - with or without the grass stains.

Impact Point (Etki Noktası) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Carol Lynne’s Stolen Memories is your typical vampire in love with a human story – except this time with a twist. The human (Aden) is actually the son of the Vampire Creator and Victor is his secret protector. Aden only finds this out after his boyfriend Josh beats him, afterwards Victor steals Aden away and tells him the truth about his heritage and the two men fall in love. I love the vampire genre and cut my teeth as a kid on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but I have to admit I am a romantic when it comes to m/m romances. I just want a story that focuses on the main characters and their love story and unfortunately with Stolen Memories we have a lot of other secondary characters that take up a good portion of the short novella. So for me the plot was too cluttered with extraneous stuff for me to really enjoy it. Plus, Ms. Lynne did not fully explain Aden and Victor’s relationship over the years that Aden was alone. There was a hint that Victor came and “visited” Aden in his dreams, but no follow-up. I would have enjoyed more of an explanation of this aspect of their special connection. Also for those who have squicks, there is a hint of an incestuous relationship between Aden and his father, so this could be an issue for some readers. Overall, if you love the genre and the author, I’d buy Stolen Memories. But if like me you only want the main characters involved with each other, then pass. Rated 3 Delightful Divas by Lasha!
