IACP AWARD WINNER • Food52 is back with the most beloved and talked-about desserts of our time (and the under-the-radar gems that will soon join their ranks)—in a collection that will make you a local legend, and a smarter baker to boot. ONE OF THE NEW YORKER’S FIFTEEN ESSENTIAL COOKBOOKS • Featured as one of the best and most anticipated fall cookbooks by the New York Times, Eater, Epicurious, The Kitchn, Kitchen Arts & Letters, Delish, Mercury News, Sweet Paul, and PopSugar. Drawing from her James Beard Award-nominated Genius Recipes column and powered by the cooking wisdom and generosity of the Food52 community, creative director Kristen Miglore set out to unearth the most game-changing dessert recipes from beloved cookbook authors, chefs, and bakers—and collect them all in one indispensable guide. This led her to iconic desserts spanning the last century: Maida Heatter’s East 62nd Street Lemon Cake, François Payard’s Flourless Chocolate-Walnut Cookies, and Nancy Silverton’s Butterscotch Budino. But it also turned up little-known gems: a comforting Peach Cobbler with Hot Sugar Crust from Renee Erickson and an imaginative Parsnip Cake with Blood Orange Buttercream from Lucky Peach, along with genius tips, riffs, and mini-recipes, and the lively stories behind each one. The genius of this collection is that Kristen has scouted out and rigorously tested recipes from the most trusted dessert experts, finding over 100 of their standouts. Each recipe shines in a different way and teaches you something new, whether it’s how to use unconventional ingredients (like Sunset’s whole orange cake), how to make the most of brilliant methods (roasted sugar from Stella Parks), or how to embrace stunning simplicity (Dorie Greenspan’s three-ingredient cookies). With photographer James Ransom’s riveting images throughout, Genius Desserts is destined to become every baker's go-to reference for the very best desserts from the smartest teachers of our time—for all the dinner parties, potlucks, bake sales, and late-night snacks in between.

There’s No Business Like The Hunting Business The Hunting Business is a deep dive look at the business-side of hunting. This is not a typical hunting adventure book, but through his thirty-six years of full-time experience in the hunting industry, Greg Simons weaves plenty of interesting, anecdotal information throughout the pages of this seminal work, making this an enjoyable and interesting read about a business that stirs the imagination of many. Topics include basic business principles, peculiar features of this business, risk management, marketing, harvest photography, taxidermy and meat considerations, customer service strategies, lodging and culinary recommendations, and many other key components of building a successful hunting business. Simons also provides an honest introspection on conservation dilemmas, public perceptions, the need to play the advocacy game more intelligently, and the role that NGOs play in the space of conservation and hunting. The final chapter takes a hard look at the future of hunting and Simons shares some candid concerns, while also identifying some encouraging signs that provide hope for tomorrow’s generation of stakeholders. There’s plenty of valuable information built into the pages of The Hunting Business that can be applied to non-hunting related businesses and can also be applied to various challenges that everyone faces throughout life’s journeys. Hunters, outfitters, private landowners, wildlife biologists, nature lovers, volunteers, entrepreneurs, environmental activists, college professors, and college students will all find The Hunting Business to be a great read and useful resource.

“George serves up memorable Southern one-liners while upping the stakes in this satisfyingly funny series installment.” —Publishers Weekly Demons, shifters, zombies: You don't have to go to hell, but you can't stay here. It's last call on Earth. Rebekah “Beck” Damian runs a demonoid bar where everyone's welcome—even a reformed flesheater who's strictly vegetarian, a musical ghost who's looking for a piano bar, and a feline harbinger of doom named Wampus Kitty who's scaring the customers. So when a big strapping demon-hunter walks into the bar, Beck knows it's not the end of the world. She'll treat him like any other customer. If only she could. Conall Dalvahni is the toughest, meanest, sexiest demon-hunter Beck's ever seen—and she's finding it awful hard to hide her attraction. As far as Conall's concerned, the feeling is mutual. But how can he trust a beautiful half-demon babe like Beck—when her demonic friends have the perfect weapon to destroy every hunter on earth? With all the sparks flying between Beck and Conall, it's hard to tell who's the predator and who's the prey. Either way, love is hell—and impossible to resist . . . A RITA Award Finalist “Clever, fast-paced and sexy as hell, George's third adventure set in Hannah, Ala., is a steamy, heartfelt treat from start to finish.” —RT Book Reviews (4.5 Stars, TOP PICK!)
