Book Description
Calgarron is the story of one man's life from boy to warrior to lover to husband and father. Set to the background of the Japanese invasion of the Malay Peninsula and the Second World War, his fast-paced novel moves through Asia, Australia, USA, and Europe. War brings injury, friendship, and love, but his family secrets shatter his life and grip on reality. Lavinia Calgarron looked down at her son fast asleep in his bed. The last hundred years' war had ravished not only her own family but especially the Calgarron family. Lavinia had lost her husband during the First World War, and now deep into the Second World War, the only Calgarron left lay wounded in a bed in Darwin hospital. He was the captain of a destroyer and had returned in triumph from a rescue mission on Timor but in the process had broken his leg. Lewis Calgarron lay sleeping; he was thinking of Sophie, the woman he loved. They had met under such unusual circumstances thrown together by war. She had lost everything; he had lost estates, wealth, and status because of the war with Japan. He needed to build back that fortune, and he felt under self-applied pressure to produce an heir to carry the dynasty forward. He was determined to not only win the war but to win the peace. "Lavinia out!" he heard. He opened his eyes and saw his mother standing near the door. Lewis thought he was dead! He smelt her first, that unmistakably scent, her musk. He slowly turned his head and looked deep into Sophie's eyes. She smiled at him and whispered, "Lewis Calgarron, I love you." He smiled back at her and said, "I love you too. Was that my mother?"

A Life with Food, Friends and Recipes

Author: Ami Bouhassane
Publisher: Hat & Beard Press
ISBN: 9781955125017
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
A biography, gourmet cookbook, and inside look at one of the mid-century's most creative and fascinating figures. A woman of many lives and mistress of her own re-invention, Lee Miller was a model, surrealist, fashion photographer, war correspondent, gourmet cook, and more. She did everything in her life wholeheartedly and with an imaginative flair. Though much has been written about the varied forms of her creativity, Miller's achievement as a gourmet chef is usually relegated to the endnotes. However, her granddaughter, Ami Bouhassane, views cooking as a vastly important part of her life--her longest battle and most extraordinary personal accomplishment in every sense. As a trustee of the Lee Miller Archives, Bouhassane has worked closely with the material for more than nineteen years. Coupled with her access to never-before-published manuscripts and photographs, Bouhassane's unique insight into her grandmother's life reveal previously unknown aspects of Miller. More than just a collection of recipes, this award-winning cookbook explores Miller's life through the influence of food and shows us how it became the creative vehicle for which she eventually swapped her camera and used it to build bridges, heal old wounds, and empower other women. Featuring more than 180 of Miller's pictures, nearly one hundred of her recipes, an introduction by her son, Antony Penrose, and material from the cookbook that she was secretly hoping to publish at the end of her life, Lee Miller: A Life with Food, Friends & Recipes is a treasure not to be missed.

My Ami Hippie Mommy Cookbook

Author: Georgia Santa Maria
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781548687205
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 264

Book Description
This book is part recipes, (of course! It's a cookbook!) But it is also memoir, story, poetry and photography. It is the story of one family, living on a "Hippie Farm" in Northern New Mexico with lots of beauty and love for the land, but not much in the way of modern amenities. It is about the craftiness of living without running water, heating with wood, and encouraging children to grow up being inquisitive, creative, and inventive within a fabulous natural setting. It is about rethinking the disposable economy, and reinventing how to do things, and make things, for yourself, whether yogurt, enchiladas, and Christmas candy, or forts, tree-houses, and solar outhouses. It is a love letter from the author to her children and that part of their lives.

Salt and Saffron

Author: Kamila Shamsie
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620405911
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229

Book Description
Aliya may not have inherited her family's patrician looks, but she is as much a prey to the legends of her family that stretch back to the days of Timur Lang. Aristocratic and eccentric-the clan has plenty of stories to tell, and secrets to hide. Like salt and saffron, which both flavor food but in slightly different ways, it is the small, subtle differences that cause the most trouble in Aliya's family. The family problems and scandals caused by these minute differences echo the history of the sub-continent and the story of Partition. A superb storyteller, Kamila Shamsie writes with warmth and gusto. Through the many anecdotes about Pakistani family life, she hints at the larger tale of a divided nation. Spanning the subcontinent from the Muslim invasions to the Partition, this is a magical novel about the shapes stories can take- turning into myths, appearing in history books and entering into our lives.
