Loch Down Abbey: A perfectly witty Scottish cozy murder mystery for fans of Golden Age crime fiction (A Loch Down Abbey Mystery)
by Beth Cowan-Erskine'A sharp and absolutely hilarious spoof of the country house murder mystery... The whodunnit is a fun one... Such a fantastic read. I laughed out loud reading this many times, never more so than at the very end of the epilogue. Terrific stuff' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's the 1930s and a mysterious illness is spreading over Scotland. But the noble and ancient family of Inverkillen, residents of Loch Down Abbey, are much more concerned with dwindling toilet roll supplies and who will look after the children now that Nanny has regretfully (and most inconveniently) departed this life. Then Lord Inverkillen, Earl and head of the family, is found dead in mysterious circumstances. The inspector declares it an accident but Mrs MacBain, the head housekeeper, isn't so convinced. As no one is allowed in or out because of the illness, the residents of the house - both upstairs and downstairs - are the only suspects. With the Earl's own family too busy doing what can only be described as nothing, she decides to do some digging - in between chores, of course - and in doing so uncovers a whole host of long-hidden secrets, lies and betrayals that will alter the dynamics of the household for ever.

Londoners' Larder: English Cuisine from Chaucer to the Present
by Annette HopeIn a vivid panorama, Londoner's Larder presents the food of a great city. Annette Hope has used biography, literature and social history to explore the city of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pepys, Johnson, Dickens, Wilde and Virginia Woolf, and to show in lively detail what these writers and their contemporaries might have eaten, where the food came from and how it was cooked. She looks at problems of supply, distribution, nutrition, cooking, and health and hygiene as the city expanded and changed character, and chronicles the effects of social, economic, and ethnic shifts since the end of the Second World War. At the end of each chapter are recipes from the period, written in modern, usable form.From the takeaway pasties baked by the Cook in The Canterbury Pilgrims to dinner at the Café Royal, from John Evelyn's recipes for salads to Mrs Beeton, from the introduction of coffee to the appearance of ration books, this book charts the gastronomic life of London in scholarly and entertaining detail. A discussion of the city as it is at the beginning of the twenty-first century rounds off the picture - a time when Middle Eastern and Oriental food is commonplace, and much of the cuisine available in European restaurants is inspired by that on offer in popular holiday resorts and purely 'British' food is difficult to find. If London beguiles you, literature seduces you, and recipes fascinate you, this pioneering book will intrigue and delight you.

Long Life in Florida
by Prof. Hilton HotemaHARD TO BELIEVE THAT MAN1. EATS TO DIE.2. DRINKS TO DIE3. BREATHES TO DIE.Is The Vegetarian Diet Harmful As Well As The Flesh Diet???For more than half a century, the author of the course titled LONG LIFE IN FLORIDA, Hilton Hotema, read books on food and feeding, and closely followed the arguments and explanations. He found those who favored VEGETARIANISM omitted all the bad features, and the same course was pursued by those who favored CARNIVORISM.Books favoring VEGETARIANISM say nothing of the damaging qualities of vegetables and cereals. Those favoring CARNIVORISM carefully omit the damaging properties of flesh.These authors lead their readers astray with HALF TRUTHS. A half-truth is more dangerous than a lie, as it is more misleading.“WE EAT TO LIVE, AND WE EAT TO DIE”This statement was issued, by a group of eminent doctors of the 19th century.If we eat to live, how can we eat to die? If we eat to die how can we eat to live? These puzzling questions are considered and answered in this book, first published in 1962.YOU will be given a proper understanding of the word HEALTH and shown HOW we were intended to live in GOOD HEALTH and full of VIM, VIGOR and VITALITY and not like most of the people of today...sick, nervous, irritable, etc.After reading over the manuscript of this course, one of our leading NATUROPATHS wrote: “It is the best I have ever found in the field of health and long life. It is a work whose equal has never been produced.”LEARN the simple laws of COSMIC EXISTENCE, known to the birds and beasts and explained so clearly in these lessons they may be understood by a child, yet as certain in action as the laws of electricity.

Longevita' Decodificata: La Dieta Plant-Based che Ti puo' Salvare La Vita
by Bram AltonSiamo una societa' molto, molto malata. Se aveste qualche dubbio su quanto malati siamo, pensate a quanti medicinali sono disponibili senza prescrizione medica. Quante medicine prendono i vostri amici e la vostra famiglia? Quel numero dovrebbe essere un campanello d’allarme circa il precario stato di salute della societa' moderna. Se nutriste ancora dei dubbi, quante persone conoscete che sono affette da cancro, problemi di cuore, diabete di tipo 2, depressione, ansia, infertilita’, o altre malattie croniche? Una o due generazioni fa, questi problemi erano praticamente inesistenti. Ora, rientrano piu’ nella norma che nell’eccezione. I medicinali sono in grado di mascherare i sintomi delle malattie a cui facciamo fronte. Oltretutto, i medicinali hanno molti effetti collaterali che possono provocare ulteriori problemi di salute, il che porta al bisogno di assumerne altri. La causa di queste patologie e’ qualcosa che la medicina non puo’ sanare: la dieta scorretta. Sul punto, si da credito ad Aristotele per aver sostenuto che il cibo dovrebbe essere la vostra medicina.
Longevity Diet: The Only Proven Way to Slow the Aging Process and Maintain Peak Vitality--Through Calorie Restrictio
by Brian M. Delaney Lisa WalfordAt last, here's a book that synthesizes the increasingly popular CR (Calorie Restriction) diet for the layperson. CR is not a diet primarily about weight loss, although readers will lose weight. CR is about eating highly nutritious foods to extend your healthy years. Here's the concept: eat fewer calories and choose foods more carefully. This will reallocate how your metabolism uses its resources to convert food into energy; in other words, what goes in will be used more efficiently. You will feel better and function better-and the big bonus: the CR diet slows aging. CR lengthens the periods of youth and middle age and substantially reduces the risk of virtually all the diseases of aging. Brian Delaney and Lisa Walford, two longtime CR practitioners, will take you on a handheld stroll through the process, including an introduction to CR, how to do it, some of the key issues in the current dialogue, and the skinny on superfoods.

Part 4 focuses on using special electromagnetic grounding technologies to eliminate parasites and reconnect you with the rhythmic cycles of Earth's energy field. Part 5 focuses on deep-tissue bodywork and yoga, so that you can move blocked energy around and break up stagnation in typically unaccessed parts of the body.In addition to all this, Wolfe offers abundant additional information to help you more fully live the Longevity Now lifestyle, such as foods to avoid, healthful alternative sweeteners, delicious recipes, and more tips and tricks to keep you on the path of rejuvenation, radiant health, and full-throttle vitality.From the Hardcover edition.

Look Who's Cooking: The Rhetoric of American Home Cooking Traditions in the Twenty-First Century (Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World Series)
by Jennifer Rachel DutchHome cooking is a multibillion-dollar industry that includes cookbooks, kitchen gadgets, high-end appliances, specialty ingredients, and more. Cooking-themed programming flourishes on television, inspiring a wide array of celebrity chef–branded goods even as self-described “foodies” seek authenticity by pickling, preserving, and canning foods in their own home kitchens. Despite this, claims that “no one has time to cook anymore” are common, lamenting the slow extinction of traditional American home cooking in the twenty-first century.In Look Who's Cooking: The Rhetoric of American Home Cooking Traditions in the Twenty-First Century, author Jennifer Rachel Dutch explores the death-of-home-cooking narrative, revealing how modern changes transformed cooking at home from an odious chore into a concept imbued with deep meanings associated with home, family, and community.Drawing on a wide array of texts—cookbooks, advertising, YouTube videos, and more—Dutch analyzes the many manifestations of traditional cooking in America today. She argues that what is missing from the discourse around home cooking is an understanding of skills and recipes as a form of folklore. Dutch’s research reveals that home cooking is a powerful vessel that Americans fill with meaning because it represents both the continuity of the past and adaptability to the present. Home cooking is about much more than what is for dinner; it’s about forging a connection to the past, displaying the self in the present, and leaving a lasting legacy for the future.
