An eye-opening and soul-nourishing journey through Chinese food around the world. From Cape Town, South Africa, to small-town Saskatchewan, family-run Chinese restaurants are global icons of immigration, community and delicious food. The cultural outposts of far-flung settlers, bringers of dim sum, Peking duck and creative culinary hybrids, Chinese restaurants are a microcosm of greater social forces. They are an insight into time, history, and place. Author and film-maker Cheuk Kwan, a self-described “card-carrying member of the Chinese diaspora,” weaves a global narrative by linking the myriad personal stories of chefs, entrepreneurs, labourers and dreamers who populate Chinese kitchens worldwide. Behind these kitchen doors lies an intriguing paradox which characterizes many of these communities: how Chinese immigrants have resisted—or have often been prevented from—complete assimilation into the social fabric of their new homes. In both instances, the engine of their economic survival—the Chinese restaurant and its food—has become seamlessly woven into towns and cities all around the world. An intrepid travelogue of grand vistas, adventure and serendipity, Have You Eaten Yet? charts a living atlas of global migration, ultimately revealing how an excellent meal always tells an even better story.

Bring an end to emotional eating by getting to the root of the problem. Most books about emotional eating tend to focus on how to strengthen self-restraint or how to identify what triggers it. The former can make the problem worse, while the latter may be different each time it occurs. Both approaches fail to help emotional eaters understand why they feel compelled to do something that they don’t want to do in the first place. This understanding is the key to changing this behavior. Howard Farkas, who has more than two decades of professional and teaching experience as a clinical psychologist specializing in emotional eating, explains the underlying motive that drives the behavior: emotional eating is not a passive failure of self-control, but an active impulse to reject the control of dieting. This defiant need “to be bad” usually leaves the person feeling guilty and anxious about their eating, and recommitting to their diet until the cycle repeats, and the compulsive eating recurs. 8 Keys to End Emotional Eating provides a detailed plan for breaking this pattern. By explaining the root cause that drives the desire to binge, Farkas offers practical skills to help you learn to change your mindset about dieting and end the impulse to binge. His road map for the future will help readers maintain healthy eating habits for years to come.

In the second title in the slam-dunk new series from bestselling author Amy Ignatow, the Odds are back and trying to figure out just who inflicted these lame abilities on them in the first place. Nick can still teleport four inches to the left, and Farshad’s thumbs are still super strong. Cookie can still read minds, if they’re thinking of directions, and Martina can still change the color of her eyes. But now, Martina can see the invisible, and when Nick is super stressed, he can move a lot farther than four inches. As their powers evolve in possibly dangerous ways, the Odds are even more determined to solve the mystery of their origin, but it means interacting at school—a serious social risk to popular girl Cookie. Soon, it becomes clear that Auxano, the chemical company that employs half the town, is involved. With the help of some renegade Amish teenagers and Ed, the invisible bus driver, this unlikely group of companions will uncover a nefarious experiment in which they’ve become unwitting test subjects. They’ll also begin to become something even more incredible—friends.

This steamy romantic comedy box set contains the novellas Worship and Spark (exclusive to this collection), the novels Some Call It Devotion and Some Call It Attraction. Worship What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there. After a devastating blow, Kinsley Fitzgerald's ten-year plan is derailed, leaving her lost and confused. She needs a change. And what better way to take a break from her life than a trip to Las Vegas? But life doesn’t always go as expected, and what was supposed to be a fun, carefree weekend turns into so much more. Getting married to a stranger definitely wasn’t part of her plan. No matter how much she’s attracted to the man she just met. Some Call It Devotion What would you do if you found out that you’re married but can’t remember your wedding? Kinsley Fitzgerald thought the hardest part of getting married was planning the wedding. Turns out it’s getting divorced from the man she can’t remember saying yes to. Tracking down her husband was easy. Getting him to sign the divorce papers isn’t. Because Landon West has an agenda: He’ll sign the papers if she lives with him for twenty-one days. If she still wants to get a divorce at the end, he’ll give it to her. Running out of time and options, she agrees to the deal and realizes her mistake as soon as she’s moved in. Because what if she doesn’t want their marriage to end once the twenty-one days are up? But that isn’t an option. She’s engaged to another man, and they’re getting married in less than three months. She has three weeks to decide, and he’s determined not to make it easy. This is the fourth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Some Call It Attraction He grew up with champagne and caviar. She grew up with burgers and boxed wine. But they became best friends anyway. Grayson Jones was always certain that Rayna Montgomery would be in his life forever. They were as opposite as two people could get, but it didn’t stop them from becoming inseparable. When a lie tears them apart, Rayna is heartbroken but certain that walking away is the right thing to do. Years later, Rayna lands a role as a contestant on a reality TV show. The last person she expects to run into on set is Grayson, reminding her of the easy friendship they once had. And the feelings they both tried so hard to ignore resurface. And this time, they refuse to stay buried. What will Grayson do when he finds out the reason Rayna left all those years ago? Because she can’t walk away a second time. Not even when being with him could get her kicked off the show. This is the fifth book in the Sweet Dreams series and can be read as a standalone. Spark Keeping things professional has never been harder (pun intended). Glenys never thought she’d end up in a quirky little town called Humptulips. And she definitely never expected to feel an instant connection with a handsome and funny stranger who seems to have a slight tea doily fetish. The only problem: he’s her coworker, and once they find out, they agree to keep things strictly professional. But she can’t stop thinking about the man who haunts her every waking moment. But is a man she barely knows worth risking her dream job for? Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romcom and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on.
