]]> The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook hits bookstores http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=96209 Mon, 6 Sep 2010 06:23 GMT http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=96209 Dinah Bucholz has created a Hogwart-themed cookbook with more than 150 recipes. I wonder if The Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook (Adams Media, $19.95) will make the inventory at Ollivanders Wand Shop or Honeydukes at Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter? There is no butter beer recipe inside the compendium, but you will find Treacle Tarts, Pumpkin Pasties, Molly’s Meat Pies and Kreacher’s French Onion Soup. And perhaps the most acknowledgments admitting that the book is not an authorized work I have ever seen. Fear the wand? I think so.

]]> New cookbook by AP Food Editor J.M. Hirsch: More flavour, less labour http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=95783 Thu, 2 Sep 2010 08:33 GMT http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=95783 New cookbook by AP Food Editor J.M. Hirsch: More flavour, less labourWeeknight cooking is no time for nuance. Meals must stand and be noticed. They must cut through the clutter of weekday chaos. And they must do it quickly and without fuss, mess, or toil. It's a simple premise. Let high-flavour ingredients do most of the work. Foods that taste great going into the pot need less work from you to taste great when they come out. I'm talking about the Parmesan cheeses, balsamic vinegars, jalapenos, chorizos and wasabis of the world.

In my cookbook, "High Flavor, Low Labor: Reinventing Weeknight Cooking" (to be released Sept. 7) ease and flavour rule. Because bland foods just don't satisfy. We crave assertive foods — rich chocolate cakes, savoury chilies and sauces, sharp cheeses, bright, citrusy desserts. These flavours comfort and satisfy.

]]> Book Review: 'McIlvanney on Boxing' by Hugh McIlvanney http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94610 Mon, 9 Aug 2010 06:27 GMT http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94610 During the last few years of my life, I have been laden with the task of writing critiques and reviews of all sorts of texts, from the ancient and archaic to the contemporary and radical, from Beowulf to Ishiguro, via the requisite copious amounts of Shakespeare. Analysis of many of these texts was an enjoyable pastime, simply because my refusal to accept the superiority of the author's penmanship when compared to my own allowed me to showboat somewhat, to exhibit a sense of denigration that can only originate in complacency.

Conversely, when dissecting the works of classic authors such as Jonathon Swift, or others too numerous and painful to recall with any kind of alacrity when only removed by such a short period of time, the very act of criticizing the text seems disrespectful, reminiscent of an arrogant Anakin seeking to usurp Obi-Wan Kenobi, which we all know is impossible.

]]> Book Review: Mannie's Diet And Enzyme Formula http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94370 Fri, 6 Aug 2010 07:24 GMT http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94370 By Emanuel Barling Jr. Esq. and Ashley F. Brooks, R.N. has approximately 69 or more pages of medical references.

For this reason, readers can attach some credibility to the presentation; however, the FDA has not made any formal evaluation of the work.

Alternative Medicine by Burton Goldberg is a good supplement to this book. The authors begin by criticizing certain types of surgeries which may deprive the patient of the benefits inherent in organs removed for various surgical reasons.

For instance, the appendix helps to provide good bacteria for the body. The ascending colon aids in food digestion. The longer a person has IBS or IBD and related diseases- the greater the likelihood of colon cancer developing.

]]> DRACULA IN LOVE (Book Review) http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94109 Mon, 2 Aug 2010 06:02 GMT http://BookReviews101.com/article.asp?articleid=94109 DRACULA IN LOVE Book Review.“If the spirits of the dead call out to you, swaddle yourself tight with your shawl, make the sign of the cross for protection, and walk away.” Like the spirit of the dead, DRACULA IN LOVE (coming August 10 from Doubleday) calls out to the reader—but instead of walking away, you should run to this fresh perspective on Bram Stoker’s classic novel.

Author Karen Essex (pictured left) has taken the original DRACULA and turned it inside out, “exposing the subconscious mind by illuminating the cultural fears, as well as the rich brew of myths and lore, that went into Stoker’s creation.”

Narrated by Mina Harker, DRACULA IN LOVE reveals the “the true story” that has remained Mina’s secret up until now. It’s a haunting, feminist portrayal of eternal love, forbidden desires.
