The Good Plain Cook by Bethan Roberts Pdf

It's summer 1936, and the world is on the cusp of change, but there's little sign of this in rural Sussex. So when Kitty Allen answers an advert looking for 'a good plain cook', she has no idea what she's in for. For starters, her employer is an American called Ellen Steinberg who believes in having the staff call her by her first name and sunbathing in the nude. Then there's Ellen's eleven-year-old daughter, Geenie, a bright, unhappy little thing, and Mrs Steinberg's gentleman friend, Mr Crane, who's said to be a poet - even though he doesn't have a beard and doesn't actually write much poetry. Rich bohemians imagining themselves as communists, Steinberg and Crane see themselves as champions of 'the people' - not that they know the first thing about how the people actually live. Kitty is in no position to criticise - after all she claimed to be a good plain cook, despite hardly knowing how to boil an egg. Utterly out of her depth, she is relieved to have the gardener, Arthur, to talk to. Otherwise she'd never last a summer in this madhouse. Ellen Steinberg wants life to run as smoothly as the love story she imagines her lover George Crane to be writing. But as Kitty arrives, the dream is on the edge of falling apart.

The Pools by Bethan Roberts Pdf

Middle England, mid-1980s. The kind of place where nothing ever happens. Except something has happened. A fifteen year old boy called Robert has been killed, down by the pools. And half a dozen lives will come unravelled. There's Kathryn and Howard, Rob's parents. Kath has been making the best of her second marriage after the love of her life died young. Howard has been clinging onto a family life he hardly expected to have. There's Joanna, the teen queen of nowheresville. She's been looking for a way out, escape from her parents' broken marriage. She thought Rob might take her away from all this, but lately she?s started to think Rob might have other plans. And then there's Shane, with the big hands and the fixation on Joanna. Bethan Roberts' strikingly assured debut novel subtly reveals the tensions and terrors that underpin apparently ordinary lives, and can lead them to spiral suddenly out of control.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Deceptively Delicious, an essential collection of more than 100 simple recipes that will transform even the most kitchen-phobic “Can’t Cooks” into “Can Cooks.” Are you smart enough to dodge a telemarketer yet clueless as to how to chop a clove of garlic?

If you are basically competent, then Jessica Seinfeld’s The Can’t Cook Book is for you. If you find cooking scary or stressful or just boring, Jessica has a calm, confidencebuilding approach to cooking, even for those who’ve never followed a recipe or used an oven. Jessica shows you how to prepare deliciously simple food—from Caesar salad, rice pilaf, and roasted asparagus to lemon salmon, roast chicken, and flourless fudge cake.

Just Plain Good Cooking by Bill & Sandy McPherson Pdf

Our children wanted me to do a cookbook for them and our grandchildren. They all wanted certain recipes and things grew from there. The book was originally for them and our extended family (The Blackburns,) but friends and others who have seen the book wanted a copy so here we are. I have been cooking for 50 years and these 200 plus recipes are out of a collection of approximately 400 kept in folders and notebooks. Sandy is from Wyoming and had never eaten most of these dishes until she met me. I love to cook and Sandy is more than willing to let me. She does the dishes! When we came back South after we retired I introduced her to more seafood and she was hooked on all seafood and on Gulf Shores Alabama. Some of these recipes I have here are from my Mother and Father, some from my wonderful stepmother, Rita, who did not learn English until first grade. Boy, could she cook Cajun! One of our neighbors, the Rao's (from the Old Country,) taught my Mother how to cook Italian. The rest of the recipes came from friends, cooking magazines or via the internet. I've cooked all at least once. Some are broiler, some are oven or stove top. For ease of doing, the crockpot recipes are great, so I included some of those too. None of the recipes require a lot of talent, are pretty straight forward, easy on the budget and easy to prepare. Cooking methods can be interchanged between crock-pot and stove top on many recipes. As far as measurements go, I'm long past exact measurements. I go by taste and feel. Remember, there is no such thing as "too much garlic." Season everything to Your taste. Bear in mind that as a dish cooks, the spices meld together and some spices increase in taste the longer it cooks. Don't be afraid to delete or add items to the dish. Experiment! Cooking should be enjoyable, so let'er rip and enjoy the experience. There are a lot of seafood recipes because we live on the Gulf Coast where seafood is plentiful and fresh. There is an abundance of Cajun dishes because I learned them from Rita and are just plain good. ENJOY! Bill and Sandy
