Book Description
We are excited to bring you this distinctive new cookbook that will appeal to two large and diverse groups of people around the world who like to read books and who like to cook. The common thread that joins them together is the desire to relax, to escape the pressures of everyday life, and to stimulate their imaginations; in other words, to dream. With that in mind, indieBRAG has brought together an ensemble of award-winning, self-published authors whose books have earned the prestigious B.R.A.G. Medallion and, working with Susan Weintrob, a culinary expert and respected food blogger, we have developed exciting recipes, each of which, springs from the pages of these books and the stories contained therein. Unlike traditional cookbooks, we have grouped these recipes in an unusual and intriguing manner, as each one is presented in concert with the book from which the idea sprung, and all are grouped by each book's literary genre. In so doing, we have created a cookbook quite different from the thousands of such books that are published each year around the globe. We respectfully submit that our cookbook will take you on a gastronomical and intellectual adventure; one that will entertain you, and teach you, and thereby, satisfy both your body and soul. There is truly nothing like it! So come join us as together we eat, read and dream!

Book Description
Annabeth is a hopeless romantic who believes in soul mates. In fact, she's been writing to hers each year on her birthday since she was 16. Now, at 34, she's still holding out hope of finding Mr. Right even though he'd be fighting an uphill battle to gain her trust, thanks to a traumatic experience years before that's left her unable to commit. When Annabeth meets a handsome literature professor named Alex on her 34th birthday, she thinks her quest may finally be at an end. Things don't quite go as planned, so Annabeth resolves to do everything she can over the next year to find the unknown recipient of her letters. But blind dates, Meetup events and online singles sites have nothing on what fate has in store for her when a co-worker unexpectedly quits and Annabeth finds herself working in close quarters with both Alex and her long ago ex, Nick. Fighting her attraction to one and loathing for the other, Annabeth is forced to face all of her old insecurities while keeping an eye on a scheming frienemy who may derail her hopes and dreams. Written in the tradition of Bridget Jones' Diary, Kim Gruenfelder's A Total Waste of Makeup, and Melissa Pimental's Love By The Book, it shows that love on the sweet side can exist for the modern girl, if only she's willing to trust herself and search hard enough. Been Searching for You was the winner of the 2015 Romance Writers of America Great Expectations and Golden Rose contests.

Book Description
A collection of family favorite recipes from the home of TV Reality Star and Survivor Legend, Boston Rob. Including island favorites such as coconut popcorn and crispy rice. I suppose most of you only think of Survivor when you think of me. But you might be surprised to know that I have had a lifelong passion and love for cooking. I grew up in a traditional Italian-American family that believed in having family dinners together. My parents both cooked and all of us participated in preparing and enjoying family meals. As far as I can remember, none of us ever complained about this. We enjoyed cooking together. Most of the time it involved a lot of kidding around; but there were plenty of meaningful, insightful conversations, too. I've never sought any professional training but I have experimented substantially to perfect my recipes. What you'll find on the following pages are our favorite dishes. I hope you enjoy them with your families as we have. - Boston Rob

Book Description
For fans of STORM AND FURY and MORTAL INSTRUMENTS. It's been over ten years since fifteen-year-old Zoey Taylor wandered away from her family home in the middle of the night. Or so she's been told, repeatedly, by her mother—but the only thing Zoey knows for sure is that when her older brother, Corinth, found her in the woods, safe and unharmed, she returned with a crippling fear of the dark and no other memories from those lost days—except strange flashes of sharp teeth and red-flaming hair. Since that time, she's become a star pupil and is on track to graduate early . . . if, and that's a big IF, her overprotective family doesn't get in the way of her dreams first. But when one of the wealthiest, enigmatic philanthropists on the planet—Gabriel Stanton—shows up on her doorstep on Thanksgiving Day and reveals the truth about what really happened to her all those years ago, it completely shatters her perception of the world. And the story isn't anything like what she's been told. The Ascended Guardians series is a supernatural thrill-ride that never lets up.

Near panic, she hires a local taxi. The driver drugs her, steals everything, and dumps her limp body in a slum. Waking in the dark, she feels someone tugging off her shoes. Without money, a passport, clothes, or medications, Lizzie is forced to start over and find a way to survive. Soon she learns that nothing in Africa is as it appears. The grind of daily life in the third-world is beyond anything Lizzie imagined.
