      -- China :
      By Hom, Ken  Huang, Ching-He
       2012., Adult, BBC Books Call No: 641.595 H763e    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Ken Hom began his culinary career in his uncle's Chicago restaurant at the age of 11. He is widely regarded as one of the foremost authorities on Chinese cooking. Ching-He Huang is a Taiwanese-born cook who has hosted many food shows. Now, Ken and Ching cook their way across China, searching for exciting new flavors and culinary ideas as well as the ultimate recipes for standard favorites, in a once in a lifetime culinary journey to explore the food of their homeland, looking for the old, the new, and the unexpected. They arrive in Beijing to examine the influences of the West on traditional Imperial cuisine and talk to cutting-edge chefs about their take on Peking Duck. They cook with local families, en route to discovering the influence of Buddhism on vegetarian food and whether the Chinese did actually invent tortellini in remote Kashgar, before traveling to Sichuan Province, China's gastronomic capital. But this is more than a culinary journey; this is a homecoming for Ken and Ching, and they make their own pilgrimages to Guangdong and Fujian to discover their personal and culinary roots. Ching admires Ken's experience and knowledge, while Ken respects Ching's modern influences. Together they bring a unique and authoritative perspective on Chinese food that will surprise and inform. Includes dual measurements.

      By MacGregor, Roy, 1948-
       2017., General, Random House Canada Call No: 333.91 M145o    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Expanding on his Globe and Mail series, columnist Roy MacGregor tells the story of our country through the stories of its original highways, and how they sustain our spirit, identity and economy--past, present and future. No country is more blessed with fresh water than Canada. From the mouth of the Fraser River in BC, to the Bow in Alberta, the Red in Manitoba, the Gatineau, the Saint John and the most historic of all Canada's rivers, the St. Lawrence, Roy MacGregor, has paddled, sailed and traversed their lengths, learned their stories and secrets, and the tales of centuries lived on their rapids and riverbanks. He raises lost tales, like that of the Great Tax Revolt of the Gatineau River, and reconsiders histories like that of the Irish would-be settlers who died on Grosse Ile and the incredible resilience of settlers in the Red River Valley. Along the Grand, the Ottawa and others, he meets the successful conservationists behind the resuscitation of polluted wetlands, including even Toronto's Don, the most abused river in Canada (where he witnesses families of mink, returned to play on its banks). Long before our national railroad was built, our rivers held Canada together; in these sixteen portraits, filled with yesterday's adventures and tomorrow's promise, a story of Canada and its ongoing relationship with its most precious resource."--Provided by publisher.

      By Thomas, Amy
       c2012., Sourcebooks Call No: Bio T454p    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Forever a girl obsessed with all things French, sweet freak Amy Thomas landed a gig as rich as the purest dark chocolate: leave Manhattan for Paris to write ad copy for Louis Vuitton. Working on the Champs-Élysées, strolling the charming streets, and exploring the best patisseries and boulangeries, Amy marveled at the magnificence of the City of Light. But does falling in love with one city mean turning your back on another? ...Paris, My Sweet explores how the search for happiness can be as fleeting as a salted caramel soufflé's rise, as intensely satisfying as molten chocolate cake, and about how the life you're meant to live doesn't always taste like the one you envisioned"--P. [4] of cover.

      By Fonda, Nick, 1949-  Palmer, Dennis, 1948-
       2010., Baraka Books of Montreal Call No: QWF 971.4 F673r    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: This unusual, sometimes quirky, road book works like a mosaic. Its stones are the brief histories, candid snapshots, curious anecdotes, insights, reflections, and stories to make you smile. The big picture is a moving portrait of a little known but historically important corner of Canada - Quebec's Eastern Townships. Nick Fonda masterfully puts you behind the wheel - sometimes in the train's engine - and lets you meander through the Townships to meet the people who make the places unique and where the famous two solitudes have grown entwined. With new and thoughtful illustrations, Denis Palmer captures Nick Fonda's take on a part of the world that deserves to be better known.

      -- Second hand
      By Minter, Adam, 1970-
       2019., Adult, Bloomsbury Publishing Call No: 381.1 M667s    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "Downsizing. Decluttering. Discarding. Sooner or later, all of us are faced with things we no longer need or want. But when we drop our old clothes and other items off at a local donation center, where do they go? Sometimes across the country-or even halfway across the world-to people and places who find value in what we leave behind. In Secondhand, Minter takes us on an unexpected adventure into the often-hidden, multibillion-dollar industry of reuse: thrift stores in the American Southwest to vintage shops in Tokyo, flea markets in Southeast Asia to used-goods enterprises in Ghana, and more. Along the way, Minter meets the fascinating people who handle-and profit from-our rising tide of discarded stuff, and asks a pressing question: In a world that craves shiny and new, is there room for it all? Secondhand offers hopeful answers and hard truths. A history of the stuff we've used and a contemplation of why we keep buying more. Secondhand shows us that it doesn't have to be this way, and what really needs to change to build a sustainable future free of excess stuff." --Book jacket.
