He also explores topics ranging from labor in the garden, garden pests of the time, and seed-saving practices to contemporary African American gardens. In addition, Hatch discusses Jefferson’s favorite vegetables and the hundreds of varieties he grew, the half-Virginian half-French cuisine he developed, and the gardening traditions he adapted from many other countries. A must for garden lovers and history buffs alike! As Director of Gardens and Grounds at Monticello since 1977, Peter J. Hatch has been responsible for the maintenance, interpretation, and restoration of its 2,400-acre landscape.

Age Oxe : The child Pure, undefiled, Makes his debut amongst the actors ! Denied the breast That suits him best, He takes his food from a contractor’s. No nurse’s arms Still his alarms— Much less the bosom of his mater : He’s strapped and wrapped, And tied and trapped In some abhorred perambulator. Age Two : At school ‘Tis now the rule To cram our youth with ‘ics and ‘ologies. At solemn ” sessions ” They learn professions, And all the village schools are ” colleges.” Age Three discovers Our maids and lovers No more inditing woful sonnets ; Those days are gone With folks of ton, Improved away like modest bonnets. In telegrams The stricken lambs Will cut their amatory capers ; Or advertise With caution wise Their passions in the daily papers. Age Four displays In various ways The march of modern mind surprising : The soldier’s fire, His jealous ire, Shows less alacrity in rising.Tis true he seeks For days and weeks And years the bubble Reputation ; But ’tis on ‘Change, Within the range Of Capel-court, in speculation. Some seek their fame, And bag their game By knavish acts on racing courses ; The gambling hell Will serve as well To win a ” name” as Bourse or horses.

Appetite for Life: The Biography of Julia Child $12.67 Julia Child became a household name when she entered the lives of millions of Americans through our hearts and kitchens. Yet few know the richly varied private life that lies behind this icon, whose statuesque height and warmly enthused warble have become synonymous with the art of cooking. In this biography we meet the earthy and outrageous Julia, who, at age eighty-five, remains a complex role model. Fitch, who had access to all of Julia’s private letters and diaries, takes us through her life, from her exuberant youth as a high-spirited California girl to her years at Smith College, where she was at the center of every prank and party. When most of her girlfriends married, Julia volunteered with the OSS in India and China during World War II, and was an integral part of this elite corps. There she met her future husband, the cosmopolitan Paul Child, who introduced her to the glories of art, fine French cuisine, and love. Theirs was a deeply passionate romance and a modern marriage of equals. Julia began her culinary training only at the age of thirty-seven at the Cordon Bleu. Later she roamed the food markets of Marseilles, Bonn, and Oslo. She invested ten years of learning and experimentation in what would become her first bestselling classic, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Now, her career is legend, spanning nearly forty years and still going strong. Generations love the humor and trademark aplomb that have made Julia a household name. Resisting fads and narrow, fanatical conventions of health-consciousness, Julia is the quintessential teacher. The perfect gift for food lovers and a romantic biography of a woman modern before her time, this is a truly American life. |

Simply, BabyCakes is your key to an enlightened, indulgent, sweets-filled future. This is important news not only for parents whose children have allergies, for vegans, and for others who struggle with food sensitivities, but also for all you sugar-loving traditionalists. The recipes in these pages prove that there is a healthy alternative to recklessly made desserts, one that doesn’t sacrifice taste or texture.Having experimented endlessly with alternative, health-conscious sweeteners, flours, and thickeners, Erin McKenna, the proprietress of beloved bakery BabyCakes NYC, developed these recipes–most are gluten-free, all are without refined sugar–in hopes of combating her own wheat, dairy, and sugar sensitivities. In BabyCakes, she shares detailed information about the ingredients she uses (coconut flour, xanthan gum, and agave nectar, for example) and how to substitute them properly for common ones–all the while guiding you safely through techniques she’s spent years perfecting. When BabyCakes NYC opened on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 2005, it helped propel the gluten-free and vegan baking movement into a new stratosphere. Suddenly there was a destination for those with wheat allergies and other dietary restrictions–and, soon enough, celebrities and dessert lovers of every kind–to indulge freely in delectable muffins and teacakes, brownies and cookies, pies and cobblers.Enclosed within these pages are all the “secrets” you’ll need to bring the greatness of BabyCakes NYC into your own home as well as raves and recommendations from devotees such as Natalie Portman, Jason Schwartzman, Mary-Louise Parker, Zooey Deschanel, and Pamela Anderson.For confectionists of all kinds, delicious alternatives lie within: Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Shortbread Scones with Caramelized Bananas, Strawberry |

Bats to the Rescue! $4.99 Ann Beattie arrived in New York young, celebrated (as The New Yorker ’s newest “discovery”), and observant, in one of the most compelling and creative eras of recent times. So does her protagonist in Walks with Men . It is 1980 in New York City, and Jane, a Harvard valedictorian fresh out of college, strikes a deal with Neil, the intoxicating writer twenty years her senior. The two quickly become lovers, living together in a Chelsea brownstone. There Jane’s true education begins, as Neil reveals the rules for a life well-lived: If you take food home from a restaurant, don’t say it’s because you want leftovers for “the dog.” Say that you want the bones for “a friend who does autopsies.” If you can’t stand on your head (which is best), learn to do cartwheels. Have sex in airplane bathrooms. Wear only raincoats made in England. Jane’s journey from infatuation to disillusionment is both riveting and seemingly inevitable. Beattie masterfully captures a time, a place, and an unraveling. From Jay McInerney to Claire Messud, writers have been compelled by stories about the aspirations and ambitions of new arrivals to the city. Beattie was an early participant and witness. |
