Lives of the Popes, Volume 1: Antiquity
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Platina, Bartolomeo / D'Elia, Anthony F., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Bartolomeo Platina (), historian, political theorist, and author of a best-selling cookbook, began life as a mercenary soldier and ended it as the head of the Vatican Library. A papal official under the humanist Pope Pius II, he was a member of the humanist academies of Cardinal Bessarion and Pomponio Leto, and was twice imprisoned for conspiring against Pope Paul II. Returning to favor under Pope Sixtus IV, he composed his most famous work, a biographical compendium of the Roman popes from St. Peter down to his own time. The work critically synthesized a wide range of sources and became the standard reference work on papal history for early modern Europe, reprinted dozens of times and translated into a number of languages. A characteristic work of Renaissance humanism, it used Christian antiquity as a standard against which to criticize modern churchmen. This edition contains the first complete translation into English and an improved Latin text. Volume 1, the first of a projected four, covers the period from the founding of the church through ad 461.

She works for an influential think tank in Washington, D.C., lives in a swanky apartment with her high-achieving boyfriend, and is poised for an academic career just like her parents. The only problem is that Hannah doesn't want any of it. What she wants is much simpler; to cook. When her relationship collapses, Hannah seizes the chance to do what she's always loved and launches an underground supper club out of her new landlord's town house. Though her delicious dishes become the talk of the town, her secret venture is highly problematic, given that it is not, technically speaking, legal. She also conveniently forgets to tell her landlord she has been using his place while he is out of town. On top of that, Hannah faces various romantic prospects that leave her guessing and confused, parents who don't support cooking as a career, and her own fears of taking a risk and charting her own path. A charming romantic comedy, "The Girls' Guide to Love and Supper Clubs" is a story about finding yourself, fulfilling your dreams, and falling in love along the way. "Hannah is a girl I can relate to....

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gardon, Anne, PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, In Provence, where Anne Gardon grew up, comfort food means hearty dishes, thick, chunky soups and stews and old-fashioned desserts.

Gardon is a strong believer that comfort also means not being a slave to the stove while friends are relaxing in the dining room. In Comfort Food Fast, rather than feature recipes for an unpredictable souffle or a treacherous hollandaise sauce, Gardon includes recipes for one-pot meals which can be served informally at the table, where family and friends can relax and enjoy the comfortable ambience that comes from a simple and tasty meal. Main-course dishes such as "Cannelloni With Ricotta and Summer Savory Filling," "Pasta Timbale," "Roast Chicken With Herb and Cheese Stuffing," "Chicken Cacciatore," "Pork Tenderloin Stuffed With Apples," "Lamb Stew (Moroccan-Style)" and desserts like "Apple Bread Pudding," "Viennese Shortbread," "Iced Chocolate Mousse" and "Chocolate and Raspberry Clafoutis" are guaranteed to satisfy our deepest cravings. Gardon's personal recipe for happiness at the table is what she calls C.H.E.F.s "Cuisine: Cheap, Healthy, Easy and Fun." Her goal here is to teach us how to get the most out of the best ingredients plus how to put some away for a rainy (or snowy) day. She counsels preparing favorite comfort foods in volume and provides advice on portioning and freezing for those times when creating even a simple dinner can pose a challenge. And what could be more comforting at the end of a long, hard day than to know that something delicious and soul-soothing is already prepared, just waiting to be eaten? Gardon's latest cookbook is illustrated throughout with the author's own sumptuous full-color photographs.
