Sweet potato soul jenne claiborne5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She celebrates the plant-based roots of the cuisine in Bootylicious Gumbo and savory-sweet Georgia Watermelon & Peach Salad. She improvises new flavors in Peach Date BBQ Jackfruit Sliders and Sweet Potato-Tahini Cookies. Jenne revives the long tradition of using fresh, local ingredients creatively in dishes like Coconut Collard Salad and Fried Cauliflower Chicken. The result? Her first cookbook, SWEET POTATO SOUL, offering 100 vegan recipes that riff on Southern cooking in surprising and delicious ways, beautifully illustrated with full-color photography. As a chef, she instead spent years tweaking and experimenting to infuse plant-based, life-giving, glow-worthy foods with the flavor and depth that feeds the soul. Jenne Claiborne grew up in Atlanta eating classic Soul Food-fluffy biscuits, smoky sausage, Nana's sweet potato pie-but thought she'd have to give all that up when she went vegan. ![]()

An Army at Dawn by Rick Atkinson5/19/2023 ![]() Battle by battle, an inexperienced and sometimes poorly led army gradually becomes a superb fighting force. Opening with the daring amphibious invasion in November 1942, An Army at Dawn follows the American and British armies as they fight the French in Morocco and Algiers, and then take on the Germans and Italians in Tunisia. In this first volume of the Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson shows why no modern reader can understand the ultimate victory of the Allied powers without a grasp of the great drama that unfolded in North Africa in 19. The liberation of Europe and the destruction of the Third Reich is an epic story of courage and calamity, of miscalculation and enduring triumph. ![]() The emphasis throughout is on the human drama of men at war."- The Washington Post Book World ![]() WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ![]()

Fantasy Sports No. 1 by Sam Bosma5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() One is the brains (Wiz) and the other is the braun (Mug). Wiz and Mug are two COMPLETE opposites that are working together for the Order of Mages. Take that idea, or rather those two words, and it’s easy to picture a whole different concept – Sam Bosma’a concept.įantasy Sports takes that thing that consumes IRL sports fanatics and turns it into an epic quest adventure with sports at the core of it all. ![]() Men who love sports sometimes have their very own Fantasy Leagues – fantasy football, fantasy hockey, baseball, badminton… you know, all the sportsing fantasy leagues. I wasn’t immediately like GIMME THIS BOOK but I was intrigued and became more and more interested in it the more that we talked.įor a split second I thought to myself, ‘How does one come up with an idea like this…’ but it’s easy enough to imagine where it may have come from. He had already told me about a few other titles that seemed super up my alley but he pitched Fantasy Sports to me (after mentioning it was by Steven Universe artist Sam Bosma) as Lord of the Rings but with sports. I was in Toronto’s TCAF shop aka Page & Panel recently and one of the helpful and lovely employees there recommended me a series from Nobrow Press: Fantasy Sports. ![]()

David mccullough the pioneers review5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The anti-slavery language in the ordinance had been far from a sure thing, and Cutler had lobbied hard for its inclusion. The Pioneers begins with the story of a man named Manasseh Cutler, a New England pastor who played a key role in the passage of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, which created the Northwest Territory and prohibited slavery anywhere within it. It's a fascinating look at a chapter in American history that's been somewhat neglected in the country's popular imagination. That's the case with his latest book, The Pioneers, which tells the story of the 17th- and 18th-century settlers who set out to start lives in the Northwest Territory, the region of the country that is now Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and much of the Upper Midwest. Occasionally, though, he delves into the lives of historically significant people whose names likely aren't familiar to most Americans. ![]() ![]() Truman, John Adams and the Wright Brothers have all been subjects of his meticulously researched volumes.

Sophia by anita anand5/18/2023 ![]() Sophia, god-daughter of Queen Victoria, was raised a genteel aristocratic Englishwoman: presented at court, afforded grace-and-favour lodgings at Hampton Court Palace and photographed wearing the latest fashions for the society pages. It was a territory irresistible to the British, who plundered everything, including the fabled Koh-I-Noor diamond.Įxiled to England, the dispossessed Maharajah transformed his estate at Elveden in Suffolk into a Moghul palace, its grounds stocked with leopards, monkeys and exotic birds. Her father, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was heir to the Kingdom of the Sikhs, a realm that stretched from the lush Kashmir Valley to the craggy foothills of the Khyber Pass and included the mighty cities of Lahore and Peshawar. In 1876 Sophia Duleep Singh was born into royalty. Click here to purchase from Rakuten Kobo Winner of the Eastern Eye Alchemy Festival Award for Literature ![]()

Best in Show by Kelly Jensen5/18/2023 ![]() He’s looking forward to getting back to teaching after the holiday, although the fact that he may never be able to run again – hell, he may not even walk properly again, let alone run or hike – is weighing heavily on his mind and bringing him down. ![]() He’s been on medical leave since he sustained some serious injuries when he was hit by a car, but after months of recovery – and although he’s still using crutches to get around – he’s been cleared to return to work. The story opens on Christmas Eve with history teacher Mal Montgomery having a drink at the local bar. The story once again features a mature couple who have both been around the block a few times romantically, and it also sheds light on the painful backstory that has contributed to making Brian into the man he’s become, one so deeply buried under all the layers of self-protection and the smooth persona he’s built up over the years that even he has trouble finding his true self. Redeeming a bad boy – or at the very least, a previously unlikeable character – can be a tough sell, but in Chasing Forever, the final book in the This Time Forever trilogy, Kelly Jensen does it splendidly as she turns her focus to Brian Kenway, whom listeners may recall as the cheating ex of Simon Linley from book one, Building Forever. ![]()
