100+ Easy Keto Dishes Made Fast to Fit Your Life - Keto Made Easy

Review:AWESOME cookbook! Pictures are great! Received the book Saturday and it’s Monday and I’ve made 2 recipes. Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Chocolate Hemp seed cookies. Both are FABULOUS! I didn’t have coconut flour so I used almond flour in the zucchini bread. It calls for 1c coconut flour so I used 4c of almond flour, I also added an extra egg and baked 18-20 extra minutes. Right out of the oven it was a little “eggy” tasting but as it cooled that taste went away. It is SO moist and delicious! I sl... Read more

Everything You Need to Know to Be Healthy and Fit on a Plant-Based Diet

Review:I purchased this book because I was mulling over the idea of becoming vegan. I have been vegetarian for a full year. I was disappointed in the information given. It is written very dryly in a seeming monotone. Yes, it contains important information, but I think an opportunity was missed. Read more

Coffee 2017 Wall Calendar

Review:Amazing calendar, well designed with really great photos throughout. I am very obsessed with the musical and the lyrics on each page just jump out at you when you look at it. Also the months have really clever important dates added in addition to traditional holidays, like the day of Washington's birth, Jefferson's death, etc. This is so cool! Read more

The Monk of Mokha
The Monk of Mokha

Review:Fasten your seatbelt because once you start reading Dave Eggers’ book titled, The Monk of Mokha, you will not want to stop. Eggers introduces us to Mokhtar Alkhanshali, a young Yemeni American whose journey through life changes dramatically after he finds passion about coffee from Yemen. Mokhtar knew nothing about coffee from Yemen when he drifted into this passion, and once he learned all he could, he hustled and bargained and found every way possible to bring the fine coffee from Yemen to the ...

A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South
A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South

Review:Unfortunately, I inadvertently purchased an "uncorrected" proof of the book. I won't do that again as it was annoying to read... not properly edited and contained many repetitions and spelling errors. I expected more recipes... the title and premise of the book misrepresents what is clearly the author's enhanced personal journey of genealogical pursuit. Having done a similar search of my own ancestry, I found Twitty's journey interesting, but not 21 chapters worth. Read more

Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico - Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed
Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico - Authentic Mexican 20th Anniversary Ed

Review:Lovely, basic, un-fussy book. With recipes made from very fresh-tasting ingredients. For total newbies to Mexican food, there's a very cool, clear and comprehensive ingredients glossary in the back. I'm a California native, so most of these ingredients are familiar. Still, there were some I didn't "know." For someone just starting to experiment with Mexican cuisine, this is an excellent intro. And, there are LOTS of dishes and ingredient combos that I never would have thought of, let alone... Read more
