Cindy Pawlcyn - 2001
    Chef-owner Cindy Pawlcyn, founding chef of San Francisco's original Fog City Diner, put down her roots in Napa over 15 years ago, bringing her midwestern sensibility and flair for reinventing American food to the valley. Ever since then, Mustards has been affectionately known as the fancy rib joint with way, way too many wines. Gorgeous full-color food photography from Saveur photographer Laurie Smith.      Awards2002 James Beard Award WinnerReviews"Take home some hearty American fare." —The San Jose Mercury News "Accurate views of the restaurant, its food, and its sense of fun . . . it's a feast for the eyes and the imagination." —Omaha World Herald "The recipes in MUSTARDS GRILL represent a wonderful marriage between common American foods, California produce and influences from Latin American and Asian immigrants."—New Orleans Times Picayune "The book is a perfect reflection of its author's eclectic style that melds sophistication and global inspirations with an earthy American quality."—San Francisco Chronicle "Like its namesake, the cookbook is bright and bountiful, with a touch of tongue-in-cheek flippancy." —Charleston Post & Courier"A feast for the eyes with no muss and fuss." —The Los Angeles Daily News "The book is as honest as the chef" and the "dreamy desserts . . . are the epitome of comfort."—Santa Rosa Press Democrat"Pawlcyn's casual writing style gives the reader a feel for her restaurant, and her easy-to-follow recipes are accompanied by chatty—and helpful—notes." —Minneapolis Star Tribune"[MUSTARDS GRILL is] a place that's sophisticated without being pretentious. The recipes in this cookbook are no different." —American Way"Mustards is universally loved by local residents and tourists alike for its smoky, tender, spicy baby back ribs; cornmeal-coated fried green tomatoes; tasty Asian-marinated flank steak; Chinese chicken noodle salad; and, of course, Mustards' always-crisp tangle of deep-fried onion threads. The enduring vitality of this place comes from the fact [that Cindy Pawlcyn] put all the dishes she loved on the menu: country dishes transformed by her sprightly offbeat style and sparkle." —FOOD LOVER'S GUIDE TO SAN FRANCISCO"As the first (some would say the best) in a string of successful, precedent-breaking restaurants originated by chef Cindy Pawlcyn. It changed Napa Valley and took the stuffiness out of dining by showing that Americans could be as serious about food and wine as the French, but have more fun." —Gourmet

Keto: For Beginners: Start Your Ideal 7-day Keto Diet Plan to Lose Weight in 21 Days Now!


Virginia Hoffman - 2017
    This might sound like another fad, but the truth is this diet is over 80 years old and is proven to be highly effective! In this book, you will learn the basic rules of the Ketogenic Diet, find answers to commonly asked questions about it, and most importantly, gain access to 7-day meal plans and fifty easy, delicious, and nutritious Keto-friendly recipes. Now, if you are reading this because you want to know what the Ketogenic Diet is, or that you have already heard about it and would like to know how to begin. This book will explain to you the steps on both. The first chapter is all about what the Ketogenic diet is and what its basic rules are. It is explained in simpler terms and it provides you with the right foundational knowledge to help you do further research on your own. The second chapter will share with you not one, but four 7-day meal plans to help you get started on the diet within the first 21 to 28 days. As you know, it takes an average of 21 days to start a new habit so these meal plans will make it much easier for you. The third chapter is dedicated to the frequently asked questions about the Ketogenic Diet which are of course followed by their answers – again in simple, layman’s terms. Chapters four through eight are all filled with a total of fifty Ketogenic Diet recipes that are incorporated in the meal plans found in the second chapter. You will find recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner, and even Desserts. Everything is practically “spoon-fed” to you, so to speak, in order to make your transition from a traditional, probably not so healthy, diet to the fat-burning, energy surging Ketogenic Diet. You must also be prepared to commit to the rules of the diet, and this includes completely eliminating carbohydrate-rich foods such as sugar and grains, both of which are highly common in the traditional Western diet. Here’s What You’ll Learn From This Keto For Beginners Book: ✓ Introduction ✓ Chapter 1: The Ketogenic Diet ✓ Chapter 2: The ideal 7-Day Keto Diet Plan ✓ Chapter 3: Frequently Asked questions ✓ Chapter 4: Keto Breakfast Recipes ✓ Chapter 5: Keto Lunch Recipes ✓ Chapter 6: Keto Snack Recipes ✓ Chapter 7: Keto Dinner Recipes ✓ Chapter 8: Keto Dessert Recipes What Are You Waiting For?

Fix, Freeze, Feast: Prepare in Bulk and Enjoy by the Serving, More Than 125 Recipes


Kati Neville - 2007
    This is the winning system of "Fix, Freeze, Feast," a cookbook that has already attracted an enthusiastic following among busy families. Millions of shoppers save money by buying groceries in bulk - trays of boneless chicken breasts, pairs of flank steaks, flats of ripe tomatoes. But savings can quickly turn to losses if those bulk quantities spoil in the refrigerator or lie forgotten - unlabeled and unrecognizable under lays of ice crystals - in the back of the freezer. In the new paperback edition of "Fix, Freeze, Feast," authors Kati Neville and Lindsay Tkacsik offer a complete system for taking full advantage of bulk purchasing and advance preparation to ensure no food is ever wasted. They show how easy it is to get organized, prepare ahead, and be ready to put healthful, satisfying meals on the dinner table (or breakfast table, or even brunch table!) at a moment's notice. Theirs is a cookbook price-conscious shoppers will love and warehouse club members shouldn't be without. Cooks will find 125 delicious, healthful recipes to choose from Each one includes directions for dividing, preparing, and storing raw ingredients; a second set of simple direction is included for thawing, cooking, and enjoying the food. Designed for the way people cook today, "Fix, Freeze, Feast" meals are lighter and fresher than traditional bulk-cooking recipes, with a focus on simple stews and stir-fries, quick grilled or broiled main courses, and popular ethnic meals such as Beef Fajitas and Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry. "Fix, Freeze, Feast," also includes ready-to-bake cookie doughs, soups, side dishes, smoothies, and snacks. With these innovative techniques and recipes, dinner is always in the freezer!
