The international publishing sensation--over two million copies sold A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump (if Gump were an explosives expert with a fondness for vodka) decides it’s not too late to start over... After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant). It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them. Starting out in munitions as a boy, he somehow finds himself involved in many of the key explosions of the twentieth century and travels the world, sharing meals and more with everyone from Stalin, Churchill, and Truman to Mao, Franco, and de Gaulle. Quirky and utterly unique, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared has charmed readers across the world. Jonas Jonasson is a former journalist and media consultant. He lives in Sweden.

A stain on the cover but other than that everything is in great condition. Never been colored. 

Illustrator and papercutter, Jessica Palmer, has created 80 pages of enchanting hand-drawn pictures for you to colour and lose yourself in. The images all have a magical woodland theme, and each one includes a hidden jewel, intricately worked into the design, which will include rings, brooches, pendants, chains, bracelets and earrings featuring insects, animals and leafy patterns. The book includes designs that fit on a single page as well as those that extend across a double-page spread. Some of the designs fill the entire page and others sit within it. Others have space left for the reader to extend the design themselves.

This is a book that I found in a bargain bin and took a chance on.  From the cover I thought it would be about pirates.  It was not.  Its about a young Jewish boy in Europe and North America in the eighteenth century.  Not something I normally would have picked but I was pleasantly surprised. Once I got into it I finished it in just a few days.

The slipcover is in pieces, though its been put back together.  There is fraying along the edges and some writing on the first page.  The pages are in good shape.

In 2001 Chez Panisse was named the number one restaurant in America by Gourmet magazine -- quite a journey from 1971 when Alice Waters opened Chez Panisse as a place where she and her friends could cook country French food with local ingredients and talk politics.

As the restaurant's popularity grew, so did Alice's commitment to organic, locally grown foods and to a community of farmers and producers who provide the freshest ingredients, grown and harvested naturally with techniques that preserve and enrich the land for future generations. After thirty years, the innovative spirit and pure, intense flavors of Chez Panisse continue to delight and surprise all who visit, and even those who cant get there know that Alice started a quiet revolution, changing the culinary landscape forever. Inspired by Chez Panisse, more and more people across the country are discovering the sublime pleasures of local, organic vegetables and fruits.

Now join Alice Waters and the cooks at Chez Panisse in celebration of fruit. Chez Panisse Fruit draws on the exuberant flavors of fresh, ripe fruit to create memorable dishes. In this companion volume to Chez Panisse Vegetables, discover more than 200 recipes for both sweet and savory dishes featuring fruit. Glorify the late-summer peach harvest with Peach and Raspberry Gratin, and extend the season with Grilled Cured Duck Breast with Pickled Peaches. Enjoy the first plums in Pork Loin Stuffed with Wild Plums and Rosemary. Preserve the fresh flavors of winter citrus with Kumquat Marmalade or Candied Grapefruit Peel. Organized alphabetically by fruit -- from apples to strawberries -- and including helpful essays on selecting, storing, and preparing fruit, this book will help you make the very most of fresh fruits from season to season. Illustrated with beautiful color relief prints by Patricia Curtan, Chez Panisse Fruit is a book to savor and to treasure.

More Than 150 Recipes from Rocco and Mama

The star of NBC's reality show The Restaurant dishes up the mouthwatering Italian classics that made his TV show and eateries so hot.

A delicious collection of timeless family recipes--including Mamma's Meatballs--from culinary superstar Rocco DiSpirito!

Superstar chef Rocco DiSpirito made a name for himself by taking flavor where it had never gone before. But this decorated chef who blazed through the Culinary Institute of America and burst onto New York's fine dining scene--landing himself on the cover of Gourmet--actually honed his taste buds on the timeless Italian recipes handed down through his family for generations. Rocco's Italian-American lifts the lid on these age-old meals and shares their secrets, as well as the histories and family traditions that go along with them.

More than just a cookbook, Rocco's Italian-American is a celebration of the family recipes and experiences of one immigrant family in New York and is sure to become a classic. It is also filled with the wisdom of Rocco's Mamma, who is beloved by the millions who know her from her television appearances.

Each delicious recipe includes a personal note on the dish, a story associated with it, or a variation preferred by certain relatives. The book is organized by parts of the meal (antipasto, soup, pasta, fish, meat, salad, bread, sweets, and holiday menus). Rocco describes the techniques of the Italian-American kitchen and instructs on the indispensable ingredients, such as tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and beans. The book is lavishly illustrated with (old and new) photos and other artifacts and mementos from his family's treasure chest, including maps, handwritten recipes, and childhood drawings.

Now for the first time, Rocco shares his favorite family recipes, including:


 * Mamma's Meatballs
 * Mamma's Frittata
 * Sardines with Fennel and Orange
 * Farfalle with Grilled Sausage, Fennel, and Baby Artichoke
 * Rabbit Cacciatore
 * Red Snapper and Heirloom Tomatoes Poached in Olive Oil
 * Asparagus with Besciamella
 * Poached Cherries with Ricotta Gelato and Toasted Pandoro

Written by a Dutchman and an Australian this book is guaranteed to offend no matter what part if the country you're from.  And if you're outside America you'll  come away with some very deep misconceptions about what American cuisine looks like.  If you're looking for BBQ and hamburgers you won't find them here.  You will find a recipe for bear though. I can only assume the authors never actually visited the country, just read about it in books from the 1850s.  I don't recommend trying any of these recipes but the photos of the scenery are genuinely amazing. The photos of the food on the other hand are... something.

The dust jacket is pretty beat up but the book itself is in great condition.   Probably never been used. #cookbook #hardcover #unusual #vintage #80s

New York is the setting and a central character in this wonderfully moving and evocative novel of a boy growing up and a family surviving in the 1930s.Told in the voices of its young protagonist, his mother, and his older brother, the story unfolds against a background of the grim economic realities of the Great Depression and the indomitable hopes for the future as embodied in the wondrous exhibits of New York's World's Fair. The Altschulers, living in successively smaller apartments in The Bronx, are prey to both. As the raffish father's Times Square music store slides toward failure, the warring parents live in uneasy truce for the sake of the children and the older brother drifts from promising adolescence toward impecunious young manhood. The youngest son listens to Tom Mix on the radio, watches the German zeppelin Hindenburg floating over Manhattan, cheers the Giants at the Polo Grounds and worships DiMaggio in center field at Yankee Stadium, hears grownups talking about Hitler and Roosevelt, tastes first love, and sees the dreamworld of the World's Fair as the shape of things to come.This then is the way life was and the way love and pain will always be--in a superbly clear-eyed novel that brings the magic of the past alive again.
