Menus for Entertaining

Author: James Beard

"Entertaining is my main pleasure, my forte," James Beard wrote in the original introduction to this book. Menus For Entertaining, first published in 1965, proved to be one of James Beard's most popular cookbooks and showed off his flair for putting together innovative meals for a wide range of occasions. Although it is no longer possible to learn from the great master in person, many of the recipes within come from his cooking classes, and it is as close as we can come to being graced with the great man's presence and expertise.

With chapters on Breakfasts (early and late); Luncheons (informal, formal, summer); Dinners (informal, formal, easy to prepare, to prepare in advance, summer); Buffets (luncheon, dinner, supper); Cocktail Parties (large, small); Entertaining Outdoors (indoor-outdoor cooking, picnics); Celebrations; Basic Recipes; A Guide to Wines; A Guide to Aperitifs; and A Guide to Liqueurs, Menus For Entertaining is truly the only book you'll need to entertain. He offers suggestions for wines with each meal, and is a soothing, entertaining guide to the nuances and the nitty-gritty of entertaining.

Probiotic and Prebiotic Recipes for Health: 100 Recipes That Battle Colitis, Candidiasis, Food Allergies, and Other Digestive Disorders

Author: Tracy Olgeaty Gensler

Trillions of bacteria naturally occur in the intestines, and most help protect the body from disease. These protective bacteria are called probiotics. Foods that nourish these "good" bacteria are called prebiotics.

A number of factors can upset the balance between the levels of "good" and "bad" bacteria. There is evidence that consuming foods that are rich in "good" bacteria as well as foods that nourish these bacteria may help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the intestines and help improve health and fight certain diseases, like heart disease and cancer. This cookbook is organized by prebiotic and probiotic food recipes. Each of the 100 tasty recipes include instructions for properly cooking and storing food to preserve optimal levels of good bacteria.
