Mango Shrub: And Other Narrations contains 23 stories of love, romance, beauty, eagerness, happiness, sadness, pain, condolence, defeats and victories, history, joy and all kinds of emotions and feelings. The story Mango Shrub tells of a child and his father living through a revolution, with its accompanying pain and defeat. In other stories, the child experiences prison, defeat, and victory. This journey of love, sadness and purity also touches on the lives of a doctor, lemon vendor, princess, shepherd, and a king. As different from each other as possible, the characters still possess common goals in life. Author Abdulkader Almujahed relates the smallest and most delicate details of the human imagination and visions. Such visions have moved me for decades, compelling me to share them with those who care about the details of human feelings, which are found in our ordinary lives. They include stories of many people who were oppressed and left our world unnoticed, and lots of great love stories that have been forgotten. First-time author Abdulkader Almujahed is a neuro-psychiatrist in Yemen.His stories carry within them happiness, sadness, pain, frustrated hope, disappointed dreams, and hard failure. Thus, I felt I had to write this book. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/AbdulkaderAlmujahed

Farm-to-table dining has become best practice in restaurants across the nation, connecting consumers with those who make and grow their food. While farmers have diversified their crops to meet the needs of both creative chefs and increasingly adventurous home cooks, chefs have played a crucial role in bridging the gap between the field and the fork. Although states with longer growing seasons tend to take the credit for their ability to heed the call for locally grown food, Wisconsin has earned its place at the forefront of the movement. Local chefs have capitalized on the state’s bounty, offering increasingly localized seasonal menus and extending the harvest through active preservation. Wisconsin Field to Fork tells the tale of Wisconsin agriculture, not only through stories about the farmers who provide the wealth of vegetables, dairy, and livestock needed to sustain local restaurants but also through the seventy chef-driven recipes that take those products and weave magic into them. Recipes from drinks and appetizers to dessert include the summery Watermelon Cocktail Punch, Wild Mushroom and Mascarpone Tortelli, and Strawberry-Rhubarb Tres Leches Cake.

Transport your glass around the globe with more than 75 cocktail recipes from one of the world's premier bartenders. Grab your glass and let’s go! For over 20 years, Lauren Mote has tended bars and traveled the world, often as one of the only women in a male-dominated industry. She's developed cocktail recipes, sought out new ingredients, and gathered stories along the way. Now, in her first book, Lauren is inviting readers and home bartenders to pack their suitcases and come with her on an international cocktail adventure. Few bartenders can match Lauren’s encyclopedic knowledge of spirits, liqueurs, and tinctures, not to mention her originality for blending them into a perfectly-balanced drink. Once you’ve gotten a handle on the basics of bartending, and gathered your cocktail shaker along with a few other pieces of equipment, you’ll be raising your glass in no time. The recipes are organized by their star ingredients, such as agave, gin, whiskey, rum, vodka, and more. Every drink is given its own designation of standard, mid, low, or zero proof, and you’ll find a whole chapter on nonalcoholic cocktails, because Lauren feels strongly that all drinks should be prepared with care, whether they include alcohol or not. Once you’ve narrowed down the base that you’re in the mood for, let Lauren’s magnetic storytelling and gift of the gab continue to guide you. In each chapter, you’ll find a collection of Mise en Place Recipes to help you build up your bar’s basic ingredients and make Lauren’s techniques your own. With beautiful storytelling and photography, and cocktail recipes you won’t find elsewhere, A Bartender’s Guide to the World is as much a pleasure to read as it is to imbibe from.
