Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook36 reviews
Anya Von Bremzen, John Welchman

Workman Pub Co, 1990

I LOVE BORSCHT!!!
This is THE cookbook for spoiled, Americanized Russians who never paid any attention to what went on in the kitchen because their mothers were such great cooks. Turns out we didn't need to...
  
  











  



  
Setting the Table34 reviews

HarperCollins e-books, 2007

Wonderful Insights on the Hospitality Business
This is one of the best books I have ever read on the hospitality business. Given that it is the industry that I am in, I probably found it more entertaining and insightful than many may who are NOT in the industry. Either way, a great read.
  
  











  



  
Harrington on Hold 'em Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments, Vol. 2: Endgame75 reviews
Dan Harrington, Bill Robertie

Two Plus Two Pub, 2005

Great Book for Dad
Got this book for my husband, an online poker fan. He loved the first one in the series and doesn't like to put this one down either. Reads them multiple times to get the most out of them.
  
  











  



  
Shelter Dogs39 reviews
Traer Scott

Merrell, 2006

Be prepared to cry...
This book gives us details on shelter dogs, who the author Traer Scott, has met in her travels. So touching, uplifting and heartbreaking, especially when we learn so much about them and are told at the end which dogs lived and were adopted...and which ones were not (sniffle)...If this book doesn't convince you to adopt from an animal shelter, then I don't know what will! A portion of the proceeds ...
  
  











  



  
Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses125 reviews
Dorothy Richmond

McGraw-Hill, 1996

The perfect guide to accompany your Spanish studies
I would recommend this book along with Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions for any level learner of Spanish, but I'd advise you to have a little bit previous knowledge. It's really cheap, explains every important concept in a very simple way and includes lots of exercises to practice. I've been using this book since the summer after I finished my first year of Elementary ...
  
  











  



  
The Lord's Table: A Biblical Approach to Weight Loss (Setting Captives Free)43 reviews
Mike Cleveland

Focus Publishing (MN), 2003

Truley 10 stars
One day I looked at myself in a full length mirror. As I stood there in my underwear my eyes closed in shame. I couldnt believe I allowed myself to get to this point. After three children, I felt like I would never get my body (any body) back. I fell on the floor in my bedroom and wept for God to show me what to do. Gluttony was my biggest sin. My idol. My obsession. I cried to God to save ...
  
  











  



  
The Code Book The Evolution of Secrecy from Mary Queen of Scots to Quantum Cryptography254 reviews
Simon Singh

Doubleday & Co., 1999

Cryptography 101
As always Simon Singn takes the reader on a fantastic trip through History. Filled with entertaining stories, puzzles and heroic events, the author skillfully covers the history of secret writing. If you liked his coverage of Fermat's Enigma then you will definitely enjoy this book. The prose is capturing, deep enough to fascinate technical readers and light enough to just entertain the casual ...
  
  











  



  
501 French Verbs (501 Verb Series)62 reviews
Christopher Kendris, Theodore N. Kendris

Barron's Educational Series, 2003

Great for clarifying that what you speak is right!
This is an invaluable book because if you speak another language (i.e Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) it will allow you to see patterns in French that are common--to see that you are saying it right. Further, that the verb you have known all your life does exist in the French language as well (or that it does not) and your vocabulary and understanding of grammar will grow by leaps and bounds as ...
  
  











  



  
Kitchen Table Wisdom44 reviews
Rachel Naomi Remen

Extraordinary book
For years I refused to read this book after a friend's recommendation thinking that it would be another "feel good" attempt . Boy was I wrong! This book is one of the most extraordinary pieces of writing I have ever encountered. I have read it over and over again many times (the stories are short enough that allow you to read at your own pace). It has actually become sort of a "guide to Life" for ...
  
  











  



  
Another Place at the Table21 reviews
Kathy Harrison, 2004

If you want to know what it is like to be a foster parent or a foster parent that wants to know your not alone...read this book.
This book is about Kathy Harrison's real life as a foster mother and the story about a couple of the children that came into her home. She talks about her true emotions and feelings as she tries to hold these "shattered" children together with, as she puts it, just love and "band aids." Augusten Burroughs (author of Running with Scissors) said about this book...."Shocking, brutal, ...
  
  











  



  
The Splendid Table's How to Eat Supper: Recipes, Stories, and Opinions from Public Radio's Award-Winning Food ...22 reviews
Lynne Rossetto Kasper, Sally Swift

Clarkson Potter, 2008

Cooking Like A Pro
I love this no nonsense and flavorful cookbook. I appreciate that the theory or thinking behind these recipes is given and that you are given the tools to improvise. I have made some of the best soup ever and I am so thankful for the "almost homemade" stock recipes as it has freed me from making my own (I know that this wasn't what Lynne and Sally intended, however). My kids are now roasted ...
  
  











  



  
Take Big Bites: Adventures Around The World And Across The Table22 reviews
Linda Ellerbee

Thorndike Press, 2005

Travel, Food, Fun, Friends, Lovers, and Misadventures
Ellerbee writes just the way she speaks, and when you read Take Big Bites, you feel like she's talking directly to you. This is a book that you never want to end. It's a memoir about travel and food and friends and lovers and misadventures. She has done it all. Most of the time, she travels alone. She prefers that so she's forced to talk to the people where she's visiting. Occasionally, she goes ...
  
  











  



  
Running the Table: The Legend of Kid Delicious, the Last Great American Pool Hustler20 reviews
L. Jon Wertheim

Mariner Books, 2008

KID DELICIOUIS IS ALIVE AND WELL
This book was hard for me to put down. I wanted to read a chapter per day but was hopelessly drawn into the book so much so that I finished it in a couple of days. As a player, I could identify with some of the characters. Great story about Danny Basavich. May he be around a long, long, time. There's talk about making a movie. Let's hope that the studio isn't short-sighted and it comes ...

How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?32 reviews
Jane Yolen

The Blue Sky Press, 2005

Great
I love these books. Everyone of the books in the series have met mine and my child's expectations. Of course being a boy he loves the dinosaurs and as I the mom, I love the values, manners and morals they teach.
  
  











  



  
Extending the Table: A World Community Cookbook22 reviews
Joetta Handrich Schlabach

Herald Pr, 1991

Not just "Christian moralizing"
All the recipes in this book are delicious, clear, and exciting, as the other reviews amply cover, but the anecdotes and essays and quotes are equal treasures. While the book is written from a missionary-Christian POV, I found it meaningful and touching as an agnostic sort-of-Jew, and never felt proselytized or talked down to, and it never seemed like the many different faiths and cultures of the ...

Sunday Suppers at Lucques: Seasonal Recipes from Market to Table25 reviews
Suzanne Goin, Teri Gelber

Knopf, 2005

delicious, accessible seasonal meals
I've made three recipes (warm mushroom herb salad, duck in banyuls, turnip/parsnip gratin). All three have been easy to make, without undue fussing at the end of the preparation. I monkeyed with the greens in the mushroom dish, and punted on types of mushroom (substituting less expensive baby bellas in amongst the pricey chanterelles and oyster mushrooms), without any problems with the outcome ...
  
  











  



  
Splendid Table, The26 reviews
Lynne R. Kasper, Louis B Wallach Inc.

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1992

One of THE best cookbooks
I'm surpised no one has reviewed this book yet. A winner of prestigous book awards, I say without question that this is my favorite cookbook. (Julia Child's The Way to Cook comes in a close second)..I was working in a high-end Italian restaurant in San Franciso that also sold fresh food, Italian wines, and great cookbooks. The author was there to prepare dishes from this book, so I got to meet ...
