For fans of Doc Martin and Monica McInerney, a warm, witty novel, brimming with the trademark romance, friendship and eccentricity that Danielle Hawkins's readers adore. On the outskirts of a small seaside town, Lia and her friend Anna work serious hours running their restored cafe. The summer season is upon them, with all its baking, serving, cleaning and buying. On top of that, Anna is about to marry Lia's twin brother, and Lia's ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it's over. When a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia's window near midnight and turns out not to be a serial killer, she feels it's a promising sign. But the past won't let them be, and when things turn nasty Lia must find both some healthy resolve and some virtuous compromise. The Pretty Delicious Cafe will remind you of those special, good things we love about living. And the food is great.

Book Description
Food, family and fresh new beginnings. On the outskirts of a quiet hamlet on the New Zealand coast, Lia and her friend Anna work serious hours running their restored 'villa' cafe. The busy season, they know, is just around the corner. There are plenty of other things distracting them too. Anna is about to marry Lia's twin brother; Lia's older half-brother, who lives hours away on the family farm, looks like he might be disinherited by their curmudgeonly father; and Lia's ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it's over. And there's all the delicious cooking. Then when a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia's window near midnight and turns out not to be a serial killer, it seems a healthy new distraction could develop. But the past won't let them be, and when Lia's ex becomes dangerous, beginnings start to look like endings. Not only is the special connection between Lia and her twin tested, her fledgling romance looks like it might be just too complicated.

The Café Royal

Pages : 170

Book Description
It was a time when things were simpler--when large houses, not small cars, cost twenty thousand dollars and gasoline was eighteen cents a gallon. It was 1955 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and with a plan only the mind of a seventeen-year-old boy could contrive, Randy Betattini schemes his way inside a strip joint. Lola, the stripper pictured outside is his main objective. Before the night is through he lands himself a job as a singer between the more exotic acts. Fay, the club's manager, becomes his nemesis. Ruling with an iron hand, she deems the women in the show off limits to him. But he finds a way, and in Lola's tiny room above the club their forbidden affair begins. Randy's parents know nothing of his new career, and thus, his double life begins. Meanwhile, on stage each night, the girls in the show strive to outdo each other. With full nudity against the law, they have only their ingenuity, originality, and costumes to compete with, leaving the best parts always to the imagination. In keeping with the reminiscence of this time gone by, violence is similarly kept at a minimum. Poignant and humorous, The Café Royal is truly a coming-of-age story of the fifties.

Book Description
Second in the extraordinary manga series “that is part fantasy, part horror and entirely intriguing . . . Park’s artwork is stellar (Publishers Weekly). Meet Aaron, an accidental werewolf with a painful past of abuse and abandonment, seeking an answer to his problem. He decides to take a position as an assistant with Pamela at the Tarot Café while he searches for a solution. A glimpse into Pamela’s life before the Tarot Café is laden with prejudice and persecution. Seven hundred years ago, Pamela’s mother made the ultimate sacrifice for her daughter . . . but even now, is the fear that doomed her mother really gone? Praise for The Tarot Café series “The black-and-white manga-style illustrations are clear and expressive and fully complement the text, and the tarot cards are interestingly drawn. As each one is turned over, its meaning is explained. The stories are mostly about adults, but they will appeal to older teens as they move quickly and are engrossing.” —School Library Journal “The stories are suitably creepy in a gothic, Twilight Zone-ish way . . . The artwork really makes this manga stand above the crowd.” —Booklist

Book Description
Named a Best Cookbook of the Year/Best Cookbook to Gift by Saveur, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, Charleston Post & Courier, Thrillist, and more Long-Listed for The Art of Eating Prize for Best Food Book of 2021 “Dazzling. . . . [Polzine] brings a fresh approach and singular panache. . . . Her clear voice and precise, idiosyncratic instructions will allow home bakers to make exquisite fruit tarts with strawberries and plums, elegant cookies and layer cakes.” —Emily Weinstein, New York Times, The 14 Best Cookbooks of Fall 2020 “This book . . . just keeps on giving. An absolute joy for bakers.” —Diana Henry, The Telegraph (U.K.), The 20 Best Cookbooks to Buy This Autumn Admit it. You're here for the famous honey cake. A glorious confection of ten airy layers, flavored with burnt honey and topped with a light dulce de leche cream frosting. It's an impressive cake, but there's so much more. Wait until you try the Dobos Torta or Plum Kuchen or Vanilla Cheesecake. Throughout her baking career, Michelle Polzine of San Francisco's celebrated 20th Century Cafe has been obsessed with the tortes, strudels, Kipferl, rugelach, pierogi, blini, and other famous delicacies you might find in a grand cafe of Vienna or Prague. Now she shares her passion in a book that doubles as a master class, with over 75 no-fail recipes, dozens of innovative techniques that bakers of every skill level will find indispensable (no more cold butter for a perfect tart shell), and a revelation of ingredients, from lemon verbena to peach leaves. Many recipes are lightened for contemporary tastes, and are presented through a California lens—think Nectarine Strudel or Date-Pistachio Torte. A surprising number are gluten-free. And all are written with the author's enthusiastic and singular voice, describing a cake as so good it "will knock your socks off, and wash and fold them too." Who wouldn't want a slice of that? With Schlag, of course.
