 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”.

Wolfgang Puck was a driving force behind the popularity of California Cuisine as a result of opening Spago in 1982. Puck was twice named Outstanding Chef of the Year by the James Beard Foundation. His other restaurants include Chinois, Postino, and CUT. Puck regularly appears on ABC’s Good Morning America, has a syndicated newspaper column, “Wolfgang Puck’s Kitchen”, which reaches more than five million home cooks every week, sells his own merchandise on the Home Shopping Network, and has developed his own lines of gourmet soups, pasta sauces, bottles iced coffee drinks, estate-grown coffees, and fine wines.

It’s time to subscribe to Bobby’s philosophy: “If you keep it simple and load up your meals with great flavor, maintaining a balanced diet will start to feel like no big deal.”

Fresh off the success of his #1 New York Times bestseller, From Mama’s Table to Mine, Cooking Channel star, Bobby Deen, is back with BOBBY DEEN’S EVERYDAY EATS. Everyone loves a home -cooked meal, but unfortunately during the craziness of the week, getting dinner on the table often means sacrificing healthier, lower calorie meals.

This is the only cookbook you’ll need for fast, delicious, and—most importantly—healthy weeknight eating throughout the year.

About Bobby Dean: Growing up in a traditional Southern kitchen, recent newlywed and self-proclaimed “Georgia Boy” Bobby Deen went to work with his brother Jamie, in his mother Paula’s kitchen– when he was eighteen. Bobby, along with his brother Jamie and their mom, founded a small Savannah, Georgia catering business known for delivering “lunch-and-love-in-a-bag,” which grew into one of Savannah’s most-loved restaurants, The Lady & Sons. With The Lady and Sons firmly established, Bobby and Jamie began appearing to rave reviews on their mother’s cooking shows on the Food Network, and soon launched their own show on the network, “Road Tasted,” which followed Bobby and Jamie as they explored America in search of love and warmth-infused cooking. Both Bobby and Jamie Deen began to draw a new, younger audience to the growing number of Deen Family fans in America. Today, Bobby’s #1 show, “Not My Mama’s Meals,” airs on the Cooking Channel. “Not My Mama’s Meals” brings some of his family’s favorite Southern recipes to the table with his healthier, lighter approach to cooking.

Being A Teen by Jane Fonda

Jane FondaFOR 18 YEARS, JANE FONDA, THE OSCAR-WINNER, PHYSICAL FITNESS PIONEER, BUSINESSWOMAN AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR HAS BEEN ON A MISSION TO TELL YOUNG PEOPLE ALL THE THINGS SHE SAYS NOBODY EVER TOLD HER.

BEING A TEEN: Everything Teen Girls & Boys Should Know About Relationships, Sex, Love, Health, Identity & More
BY JANE FONDA

Most people know Jane Fonda as an Oscar-winning actress, physical fitness pioneer, businesswoman, and bestselling author in her own right.  Her new book however, focuses on a cause most important to Jane, a passion project she has been involved with for 18 years–adolescent sexuality and development.   Notes Jane in the book’s introduction, “I wanted to write an honest book for teens that would be a frank and straightforward resource for them, for both boys and girls, and an aid for parents, teachers, librarians, and others, in talking about sex, health, identity and relationships.”

In BEING A TEEN: Everything Teen Girls & Boys Should Know About Relationships, Sex, Love, Health, Identity & More, Jane draws on years of experience as the founder of Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (now known as Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential).  In 1994, she founded the center to address Georgia’s teen pregnancy rate, which was the highest in the nation at the time. Jane sought to broaden the traditional prevention agenda to address the social circumstances that lie beneath the behavior, and since GCAPP’s founding, teen births in Georgia have decreased by 45%.  She also founded Emory University’s Jane Fonda Center for Adolescent Reproductive Health, which opened in 2000, providing additional resources and research to support GCAPP’s mission.

Jane Fonda is an Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress and highly successful producer. She revolutionized the fitness industry with the Jane Fonda Workout in 1982 and has sold more than seventeen million copies of her fitness-focused books, videos, and recordings. She is involved with several causes and is the founder of both the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential and the Jane Fonda Center at Emory University. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling memoir My Life So Far and the #2 New York Times bestseller Prime Time. She received a Tony nomination in 2009 for her role in 33 Variations. She lives in Los Angeles.

Foul Trouble By John Feinstein

/in , , , , , , , /by

 

Terrell Jamerson is the #1 high school basketball player in the country. His team is poised to win the state championship. He’s got top colleges lined up to offer him scholarships. Press coverage at every game. Everyone says he could play in the NBA tomorrow. From all outward appearances, Terrell is living the dream.  But his best friend, Danny Wilcox, would tell you a different story. Danny is his teammate, and a top prospect himself. But he sees that not all of the people buzzing around Terrell have his best interests at heart. The sneaker guys, the money managers, the college boosters–they’re all so eager to help. But their kind of help comes with strings attached, and could get Terrell investigated by the NCAA.  In between exciting play-by-play scenes of a tension-filled, high-stakes basketball season, there’s an equally tense gamesmanship happening off the court. It’s a dirty game, but Terrell will have to learn to play if he wants his chance at a slam dunk.

FOUL TROUBLE takes readers deep inside the seedy underbelly of big time college basketball recruiting, where nothing is as it seems . . . and everyone is playing to win. School Library Journal calls it “A riveting, cautionary tale about behind-the-scenes, big-money pressures confronting talented high school athletes” and goes on to say, “Readers will breathlessly await Terrell’s final decision.”
