 World renowned chef Wolfgang Puck not only brings his signature charm and wide array of culinary expertise into every kitchen but also provides readers with the food and fitness plan that helped him go from being overweight and out of shape to fit and energetic. In his latest cookbook, Wolfgang Puck offers more than 100 health-conscious recipes that are full of flavor and simple to prepare including some modified classics from his earlier cookbooks and others that are brand new, with many of the recipes reflecting the food he cooks at home for his family and friends.

With meal advice, fitness tips, and a techniques section, readers now have the ultimate toolkit to find healthy and flavorful food inspiration for each meal, including side dishes, snacks and desserts. This is not a diet or weight-loss book, according to Puck. Instead, it is “a lifelong way to cook, eat, and exercise for better health”.

 Follow the rules… Remember what happened… Never fall in love.

 New York Times Bestselling author returns to YA with this romantic thriller…

 The original queen of YA and author of the international bestselling Sisterhood series Ann Brashares is back on the teen scene with her biggest novel yet. Brashares enters a whole new world in this thriller while still capturing the teen voice and heart in the way we have come to know and love from her.

The impossible romance, thrilling twists and turns, and of course, the hardcore female lead, will have new fans and old fans alike celebrating her exciting return to YA.

About the book: The Here And Now is the story of seventeen-year-old Prenna James, who immigrated to New York when she was twelve. Except Prenna didn’t come from a different country. She came from a different time—a future where a mosquito-borne illness has mutated into a pandemic, killing millions and leaving the world in ruins.

Prenna and the others who escaped to the present day must follow a strict set of rules: never reveal where they’re from, never interfere with history, and never, ever be intimate with anyone outside their community. Prenna does as she’s told, believing she can help prevent the plague that will one day ravage the earth and stop humanity’s destruction. But everything changes when Prenna falls for Ethan Jarves. Thrilling, exhilarating, haunting, and heartbreaking, The Here And Now is a twenty-first-century take on an impossible romance. A girl from the future might be able to save us . . . if she lets go of the one thing she’s found to hold on to.
