A Taste of Granny Knob


Book Description

The title, Granny Knob, was adopted from Granites' Knob which was located in Lucia, North Carolina off Highway #16 near the granite mine. It was here in an old house where our church members first gathered. This house not only served as a place of worship for church members but also served as a school for children who lived in the area. Our first structure was built in the year of 1919 out of logs from fallen trees due to a bad storm. The church building was dedicated to the glory of God on August 5, 1919. No one really knows how long before this date it was that the first members gathered in fellowship in an old house at Granites' Knob. Each recipe whether handed down from many generations or an original making its' debut is now immortalized in the pages of this book. It will be an asset to the beginning cook as well as for the most experienced. Its many tips and helpful hints will be a benefit to even those who don't consider themselves a cook.

Bon Appetempt


Book Description

When Amelia Morris saw a towering, beautiful chocolate cake in Bon Appétit and took the recipe home to recreate it for a Christmas day brunch she was hosting, it resulted in a terrible (but tasty) mess that had to be served in an oversize bowl. It was also a revelation. Both delicious and damaged, it seemed a physical metaphor for the many curious and unexpected situations she's found herself in throughout her life, from her brief career as a six-year-old wrestler to her Brady Bunch-style family (minus the housekeeper and the familial harmony) to her ill-fated twenty-something job at the School of Rock in Los Angeles. As a way to bring order to chaos and in search of a more meaningful lifestyle, she finds herself more and more at home in the kitchen, where she begins to learn that even if the results of her culinary efforts fall well short of the standard set by glossy food magazines, they can still bring satisfaction (and sustenance) to her and her family and friends. Full of hilarious observations about food, family, unemployment, romance, and the extremes of modern L.A., and featuring recipes as basic as Toasted Cheerios and as advanced as gâteau de crêpes, Bon Appétit is sure to resonate with anyone who has tried and failed, and been all the better for it.

The Lost Traveller


Book Description

When Clara returns home from the convent of her childhood to begin life at a local girls' school, she is at a loss: although she has comparative freedom, she misses the discipline the nuns imposed and worries about keeping her faith in a secular world. Against the background of the First World War, Clara experiences the confusions of adolescence - its promise, its threat of change. She longs for love, yet fears it, and wonders what the future will hold. Then tragedy strikes and her childhood haltingly comes to an end as she realises that neither parents nor her faith can help her. The Lost Traveller is the first in the trilogy sequel to Frost in May, which continues with The Sugar House and Beyond the Glass. Although each is a complete novel in itself, together they form a brilliant portrait of a young girl's journey to adulthood.
