The Devil's Cup: A History of the World According to Coffee
by Stewart Lee AllenFrom the book: In this captivating book, Stewart Lee Allen treks three-quarters of the way around the world on a caffeinated quest to answer these profound questions: Did the advent of coffee give birth to an enlightened western civilization? Is coffee, indeed, the substance that drives history? From the cliff-hanging villages of Southern Yemen, where coffee beans were first cultivated eight hundred years ago, to a cavernous coffeehouse in Calcutta, the drinking spot for two of India's three Nobel Prize winners...from Parisian salons and cafes where the French Revolution was born, to the roadside diners and chain restaurants of the good ol' USA, where something resembling brown water passes for coffee, Allen wittily proves that the world was wired long before the Internet. And those who deny the power of coffee (namely tea-drinkers) do so at their own peril.
When Life Hands You Lemons, Make Lemon Meringue Pie
by Barbara Alpert Joanna LundBest-known as the creator of Healthy Exchanges ® cookbooks, JoAnna Lund not only turned her own life around with her sensible approach to healthy eating but also helped hundreds of thousands of people do the same. For more than a decade she's been sharing her common-folk wisdom through her many cookbooks, in her newsletter, on QVC, and during personal and media appearances around the country. But JoAnna has survived more than the diet wars. When she was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer, the lessons that she had been sharing with friends and readers over the years were certainly tested, and none more so than one of her favorite maxims: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. True to form, JoAnna knew that she had to take this lesson one big step further. In the kitchen, it meant whipping up some pretty scrumptious desserts, like her Heavenly Lemon Cream or Luscious Lemon Meringue Pie. In her life and in this book, it meant sharing her candid reflections and recounting the blessings that have kept her going through adversity to triumph. And this is JoAnna's most inspiring collection ever-recipes for support, comfort, and faith, for joy and peace. But most of all, they are recipes for healing and hope.
