Corker


Book Description

From wine writer and tv presenter Hannah Crosbie, Corker will become the go-to guide that matches wine with life's important (and unimportant) events. So much of what we drink and how we drink it is rooted in occasion. What bottle do you buy the first time you meet the in-laws? What do you order on a date that’s going well? If it's not going well? What should you drink on a plane? Pairing sage advice with Hannah’s signature tongue-in-cheek humour, this is a deeply unserious wine book that celebrates the joy of everyday drinking. Corker is a guide for wine novices staring nonplussed at supermarket shelf, as well as wine lovers who might already know their Chablis from their Chenin, but still need some inspiration when picking the best bottle for their budget and the occasion.




Brunch


Book Description

When Americans think of brunch, they typically think of Sunday mornings swelling into early afternoons; mimosas and bloody Marys; eggs Benedict and coffee cake; bacon and bagels; family and friends. This book presents a modern history of brunch not only as a meal, but also as a cultural experience. Relying on diverse sources, from historic cookbooks to Twitter and television, Brunch: A History is a global and social history of the meal including brunch in the United States, Western Europe, South Asia and the Middle-East. Brunch takes us on a tour of a modern meal around the world. While brunch has become a modern meal of leisure, its history is far from restful; this meal’s past is both lively and fraught with tension. Here, Farha Ternikar explores the gendered and class-based conflicts around this meal, and provides readers with an enlightening glimpse into the dining rooms, verandas, and kitchens where brunches were prepared, served, and enjoyed.




Gobsmacked!


Book Description

"By the author of the blog Not One-Off Britishisms (NOOB), an account of when, how, and why various British terms and phrases have become part of contemporary American English. Critics and lexicographers have long noted the many differences between British and American English, and British writers and critics have complained about the invasion of Americanisms since at least the 1700s. More recently, however, a large number of words and phrases once thought to be strictly British English have worked their way into mainstream American writing and speech. Since 2011, Ben Yagoda has maintained a blog, Not One-Off Britishisms, in which he tracks, defines, and discusses British terms and phrases that have entered the American lexicon. In this short, entertaining book he collects his findings, charts the changes, and explores why certain UK expressions have taken hold in the US, sometimes even when a serviceable American equivalent exists. Chapters cover historical NOOBs, military slang, the top 40 NOOBs, insults, sport, food and drink, and faux NOOBs, along with notes on grammar, syntax, and pronunciation.

Morning Glory


Book Description

A Sweet Romantic Treat! Tabby adores her life in Atlanta. Great nerdy downtown job, lovely house, fabulous friends. Her long-lost sweetheart back home never crosses her mind. Well, almost never. Ryan jumps at the chance to relocate to the big city. He loves the busy bakery down on Peachtree Street more than anything else. Except his first girlfriend. Will their original ingredients for love mix up sweet and true? An expert from Morning Glory: “It smells like heaven in here,” Rob said. “Even when it’s almost empty.” “You should smell it first thing in the morning,” Tabby said. “When everything is first coming out of the oven.” Instead of Lou’s smiling face, a great-looking guy walked out of the back, then stopped cold. His short black hair stood up in front like he’d been running his hands through it. He had huge dark blue eyes, and Tabby thought he’d have a nice smile if his mouth wasn’t basically hanging open. “Hello?” she said. “Are you still open?” The guy still looked pale, even for wintertime, with spots of pink on his cheeks. “I... Yeah. Sure, we’re open. Can I... Not much here to choose from this late, sorry. But we’re open.” Tabby blinked, and not just because of the guy’s jumbled words falling all over themselves. Something about his voice sounded so familiar.
