Book Description

The Pope is coming to breakfast, and Madeline Bean's got frittatas on the skillet. What a coup for gourmet caterer Mad Bean and her company, the event-planning wizards, chosen to mastermind L.A.'s official welcoming extravaganza. Pulling off the early morning meal for His Holiness, and two thousand high profile bigwigs, sounds like great fun for the unflappable Ms. Bean.

But things quickly go from serene to sinister when a young priest turns up dead in the bed of an uninhibited Hollywood star, and a yellowed page of Latin scrawl, found tucked in an old book of mouthwatering Church recipes, reveals a mysterious Jesuit Brother's shocking past. Even the course of Madeline's ragged love life gets a jolt as charming Xavier Jones, the man who left her at the alter ten years ago, reappears and still won't explain why he bugged out. With the Pope arriving any day, it's up to Madeline to sort out this unholy mess of burnt brioche, tantalizing treasure, pesky naked starlets, and homicidal caterers-or a party that should go down in history could be history before it even begins.

A fast-moving, fun mystery!.......2007-07-09

This Madeline Bean series is a winner. The books are well-written, and in this case, the plot moves swiftly. I find that I'm really getting to like Maddie and her crew. I find that I always get hungry when I read one of these books because the food is always divine. In this one Madeline is working with Wes and Holly to plan a breakfast for 200. One of the guests is no other than the Pope. But stuff starts happening and there appears to be a number of dead bodies found around. When Maddie tries to put it together she finds she has to delve back into history a bit. At least as far back as the Second World War. These books are surprisingly good and quite unique. Definitely this series is recommneded for mystery buffs who like a mystery with a bit of humour and a bit of fun.

Another delightful book.......2005-09-06

After an unexpected windfall at the end of the first book in the series, Madeline Bean and her partners have branched out from catering to complete event management. With the reappearance of Madeline's old flame, now a Jesuit brother, they have the ultimate plum assignment: catering breakfast for the Pope and 2000 of LA's movers and shakers. A mysterious note found tucked into an old cookbook, the inexplicable murders of first one and then another seemingly unconnected members of the clergy, and threats of bodily harm all distract Madeline from the business at hand, however. The deeper she delves into these troubling events, the more sinister the secrets become.

Once again, this second installment in the series is outstanding. The writing is brisk and sharp, and laced with humor. The characters are well-developed and quirky. The heroine is bright, determined, spunky and funny, and the added information about her history is interesting and well-handled by the author. There is a good sense of place; perhaps the geography is a bit less developed than in the first book, but the culture of Hollywood is almost another character here.

So why only 4 stars? There is one major, blatant clue in the first murder that Madeline overlooks, and even later when it occurs to her she neglects to give it the consideration and attention it obviously merits. The progression through Maddy's investigation to the ultimate solution is just slightly and vaguely less satisfying than in the previous book. Ultimately, the balance here has tipped from the mystery to the personalities involved. Nevertheless, it is overall an engaging book, well written and well worth reading.

Another great Mad Bean installment..........2005-04-17

Continuing with my Madeline Bean theme of late, I read Jerrilyn Farmer's second book Immaculate Reception. This was an excellent follow-up to her first installment with Madeline Bean...

Now that Mad Bean Events has recovered from the poisoning episode of book #1 and have all the money they'd ever need, there's more of a focus on creating events instead of just catering. And they've hit the big time with their first event... they've been asked to do breakfast for 2000 people and the Pope. While there's no problem setting up the event, there are some major issues surrounding it. Brother Xavier, who is doing preparation for the event, was at one time engaged to Madeline before leaving her for his religion. While doing some planning, they find part of a letter in an old cookbook that points to a murder confession involving the Catholic church. The deeper they dig, the more the story points to a major cover-up of an event that happened during World War 2. And when a fellow Brother of Xavier is murdered and Mad is threatened, the breakfast event might just be their last.

As usual, Farmer does a great job with her writing. You find out more about Madeline's background, as well as why her relationships are what they are. 20/20 hindsight (reading this book after some of the later ones), you also get the stage set for some of the material that shows up later. Wes is still somewhat of a mystery, but you get a bit more clarification of his personality here. And I'm impressed how Farmer was able to weave a bit of historical fiction into the storyline.

Great job, and another great read...

entertaining and funny mystery -- with the Pope too!.......2002-12-04

This is the second of the Madeline Bean Culinary Mystery series, and this one is just as engaging as the first. Madeline and her colleagues have been slated to prepare a 2000-person breakfast for the pontiff, but they are nothing if not ambitious, managing to take on a murderer, an exhibitionist star, a parchment that may be a confession to murder, and even go out on the town a few times! The characters are very entertaining -- problem-solving Madeline, her omniscient partner Wes, their goofy employee Holly and her Donald (who has just written a successful screenplay), and Maddie's part-time beau Arlo. There is a lot of activity here, a bit of Hollywood name-dropping, colorful portraits of the star lifestyle we love to ridicule, and even a decent mystery. Do yourself a favor and check out this delightful series by talented author Jerrilyn Farmer.

Feeding the Pope is the Least of Her Worries.......2001-09-17

Madeline Bean has just been given the event of the year to cater - the official Los Angeles welcome breakfast for the Pope's visit. Still, this is the least of her worries. First, she's struggling with her feelings for ex-fiancé Xavier Jones who left her to become a Jesuit Brother. Then there's the old letter she finds that seems to be a confession to murder. But who's confessing, when, and why? Then a priest, a friend of Xavier's, is murdered in a TV star's trailer, and things really start to heat up. Madeline is going to have to dig up some old secrets to figure this out before the Pope must cancel his visit to LA.

This is a thoroughly entertaining read from start to finish. The characters are charming and easy to like. The plot flows well with just the right mix of mystery and humor culminating in a perfectly logical and surprising ending.

I can't recommend this series highly enough. Start with the first, Sympathy for the Devil. You will enjoy this entertaining mystery series immensely.

Book Description

Nestled in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands bask in the mildest climate in Canada, a mini-Mediterranean that fosters an abundance of plant and animal species seen nowhere else. Throw in panoramic views, inviting beaches and friendly hospitality - all just a short ferry ride from Vancouver or Victoria - and you have a hiker's paradise.

Whether your visit lasts a day or a week, Hiking the Gulf Islands is the best guide to exploring the islands on foot. It is the only comprehensive guide with up-to-date information on the recently created Gulf Islands National Park - 33 square kilometres scattered over 16 islands and more than 30 islets and reefs. Separate chapters cover each island - including the often-overlooked Texada, Lasqueti and Thetis islands plus Bowen Island at the entrance to Howe Sound - and even hiking trails in the area's marine parks.

Hiking the Gulf Islands includes:
* Maps showing trail locations.
* Distance and time of each hike.
* Accessibility and degree of difficulty of each route.
* Lists of shore and road walks.
* Paddling suggestions for kayak or canoe.
* What to bring and what to look for.

A wonderful story!.......2004-03-25

Originally published in the U.S. as "Blow the Wind Southerly". This is very hard to find, but worth the search. Charlotte Fairlie was proud of her position as headmistress of Saint Elizabeth's-even if it meant a lonely life for someone so young and attractive. School intrigues and petty jealousies made it imperative that she not play favorites, and forced her to remain aloof...and alone! Then she decides to accept a student's invitation to visit her on a beautiful island off the coast of Scotland, and Charlotte finds herself falling in love with a handsome laird. But an ancient legend and a living girl become obstacles to an idyllic romance. Believable and an easy read.

Book Description

One of Melville’s earliest writings, The Enchanted Isles is a hauntingly beautiful descriptive work inspired by a tour of the Galapagos Islands. Originally penned as a travelogue, Melville’s writings form a series of evocative sketches of each of the Galapagos Islands. Recounting their myths and legends, he conjures up the spirit of each in astonishing detail. Read together, they create a timeless classic, perfectly capturing the islands’ eternal charm and mystery.

Melville's Inferno.......2003-09-27

15 years ago I read all of Melville's novels and most of his other prose, but I must have missed this one. So along comes this handsome edition of the sketches and narratives about the Encantadas (Darwin's Galapagos)- and not an early work, but written after Moby Dick - which in less than a hundred pages shows once again what an astounding writer Melville is. The four pages devoted to the island's tortoises are as good as any he wrote about whales. A sample: "That these tortoises are the victims of a penal, or malignant, or perhaps a downright diabolical enchanter, seems in nothing more likely than in that strange infatuation of hopeless toil which so often possesses them. I have known them in their journeyings ram themselves heroically against rocks, and long abide there, nudging, wriggling, wedging, in order to displace them, and so hold on their inflexible path. Their crowning curse is their drudging impulse to straightforwardness in a belittered world." Of the actual narratives, the most anthologized is the story about the Chola Widow, which is heartbreaking, but even more so when read in the context of the whole suite of pieces. If you think you won't like Melville, try this book; and if you do like Melville, don't miss it.

Book Description

In Thompson's latest book, Lions in the New Land: The Epic Adventures of Friar Nicholas in The Enchanted Isles, he shares the story of a mysterious English friar whose passage through time altered the course of world history. In the 14th century, the friar traveled from England, to Norway, Iceland, and the Northern Regions in the service of King Edward III. The friar's assignment was to survey isles of the North Atlantic in an effort to find the lost, overseas colony of King Arthur. This project, entailing discovery of the Western Hemisphere, was first proposed by England's premier scientist—Roger Bacon in 1266.

We now have evidence in the form of a map and a manuscript, the Inventio Fortunatae, confirming that English Franciscans traveled to the New World at the very dawn of the Age of Discovery. At this point in time, the "New Land" was claimed as a sovereign realm under the aegis of King Magnus Eriksson—ruler of both Norway and Sweden. It is also clear that the Friar's Map played a crucial role in early Portuguese and Spanish navigation.

The manuscript reached the hands of Portugal's Prince Henry The Navigator who was the grandson of the English regent John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and son of Edward III. The Inventio Fortunatae was also known to Bristol merchants who sailed to Newfoundland in the 1480's, and it was known to Columbus who reviewed the book prior to his Arctic voyage in 1477 and his Venezuelan voyage in 1498. A map of Arctic regions attributed to the friar appeared in the works of such renowned geographers as Martin Behaim, John Ruysch, Ortelius, and Mercator.

She introduces the many benefits of eating raw and offers guidelines for incorporating this healthier regimen into one's lifestyle. She provides clear, step-by-step instructions for raw-foods processing techniques-juicing, sprouting, culturing and fermenting, dehydrating, and even blanching.

At the heart of Living Cuisine are the more than 300 tantalizing recipes inspired by a wide range of ethnic and regional foods. These beverages, soups, salads, appetizers, side dishes, sushi, entrees, and desserts are all delicious and simple to prepare. This unique resource includes thorough information necessary for a foray into raw-foods living

Great book for the uninitiated (to a raw food diet).......2007-09-30

I am just exploring the raw food lifestyle for health reasons. I purchased 4 recommended cookbooks, and found this one to be heads and shoulders above the rest. It has great recipes, that go as far as to describe the texture you should be looking for as you process the food. She goes into detail about sprouting and making nut milks, which I was greatful to find at last. She opened my eyes to the variety of foods I have overlooked, and to the amount of food I waste, for example taking seeds from my squashes and broccoli for sprouting instead of tossing them, and using the pared scraps from food for juicing. I highly recommend this book, expecially for a beginner.

BEST Raw Book!.......2007-09-24

This book is AWESOME - I've made tons of things and they are so tasty and satisfying, that it's completely transitioning me away from cooked food and wheat/grain products effortlessly. I've lost almost 20 lbs in 6 weeks, just a bi-product of adopting a pure, healthy, vegan way of eating. I don't feel any deprivation or pine for anything, mostly due to her book. I have other raw books that I found either too complex or just so-so in the taste of the end result - her recipes, to me, are mostly simple, with accessible/common ingredients, and with an end-result of gourmet perfection. The Pear Torte - oh, my! - my 8 year old son just couldn't get enough! (and I can hardly wait to make the Choconot Mousse Pie!) I look forward every day to making her recipes, and for years to come because there are so many in here.

I disagree with some of the other reviewers that the food index is a waste of time. I think her point is to open your eyes to the plethora and abundance of the plant food kingdom - to focus on the amazing variety available to us. No one can ask "Well WHAT do you eat??" with an index like that available for you to learn about and make your new pantry. The colorless bread and potatoes on my counter top have been replaced with a beautiful and vibrant array of fruits and vegetables: bananas, avocados, strawberries, tomatoes, coconuts, dates, nuts and so much more - my new staples. I feel inspired every day to cook and eat! (And of course so much healthier.)

I also love that there's a tad of steaming/blanching, etc, because for me, eating raw broccoli and asparagus, etc. is just not an option. I think with that slight adjustment this way of eating is not only doable, but WAY preferred over my old way of eating (vegetarian version of the SAD diet). Many kudos to Renee - thank you, thank you!!

Best raw bang for your buck!.......2007-09-23

What a lovely book. It's big and very useful. Even the layout is soft and engaging.

The first roughly half of the book covers an extensive description about every type of utensil you will need to make these dishes. I read that this annoyed one person, however I feel that breaking down all the different types of juicers would be of benefit to those that don't have one.

Renee also gets into lots of detail on things like good oils and salts, sprouting and even cutting techniques.

With over 300 recipes I think has got to be the best value for money. It covers a wide range of topics so you are going to find plenty of foods you are going to love. Plenty of nut / seed milks and cheeses, pies, quiches - it's got them all.

Some dishes are quick and simple, while others are more complex, but oh what a taste.

I found the book has just enough white space in the margins for me to jot down my notes on each dish. The only thing that could be improved is a thicker card for the cover as it is a reference book. I feel mine got doggy eared quicker than normal. Only a minor issue that can be compensated for with a bit of clear sticky covering like in school.

Don't let that put you off though the content is what you buy the book for and its got plenty of that - Good on you Renee and team.

If I wanted a kitchen inventory, I'd look in the kitchen...........2007-09-09

Approximately 175 pages of this book is dedicated to dull descriptions of fruits, vegetables, and a complete inventory of kitchen appliances and tools. I couldn't even bear to get to the recipes, so I can't comment on them.

It might not be so bad if things like nutritional value, interesting uses, or complementary foods were identified, but this book wastes a tree describing the most basic features of apples to yams.

You'll really want to poke your eyes out when you get to the kitchen inventory. If the author had focused on things that make a raw kitchen complete, that would probably be ok, but if I wanted a description of a spatula I would hand one to a 5 year old and get something more interesting.

If you are seriously looking for good information and recipes for a raw food diet, check out Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow or Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life. Both have provided us with valuable information and delicious recipes.

okay book.......2007-08-17

Was any editor involved before publishing? Half of the book provide little or zero information. I mean author describe every single piece of food, like broccoli for example. Even pork chop eaters are familiar with vegetables and fruits this author describes. It is good to know your audience. And raw food audience is much more advanced. So forget half of the book and go to recipes. I found it interesting that some of the food is steamed. Now how can that be raw?! Of course the middle part could be uncooked, but that's the same as eating stir fried vegies. The nuts used in recipes--not all of them are sprouted. I did not try that many recipes, so my review is incomplete, but from what I tried, the recipes are hit and miss. Certainly they are easy to prepare and some of them are EXTREMELY delicious --these make this book worthy to buy. My complaint is that there are no pictures. Why? With digital photography and cheap printing, I should have been inspired. I looked when this book was published (2003) and I think this author-chef is pioneer and others who followed perfected, derived inspiration from her recipes. Recipes are easy to make, it is true and this is really great part. Definitely very useful book for somebody who likes raw,but is not willing to commit life to food preparation:-)

Shades of incense and macrobiotics!.......2005-11-30

I am a practicing vegetarian, and purchased this book when my annual tests showed an alarming trend toward borderline pre-diabetes. Even vegetarians can develop unhealthy eating habits adn need to learn better!

I was disappointed in this cookbook, however. This is the kind of cookbook that was popular back in the 80's when American vegetarianism was all about brown rice, whole wheat flour, tofu and tempeh. These are fine and valuable components of a healthy veggie diet, but we've come a long way since in terms of aesthetics and variety.

For example, is it really necessary to make french toast with tofu instead of milk and eggs? Or to add crumbled tofu to potato salad? I have a real problem with those who take a perfectly fine, nutritious and proven food item and make gratuitious additions of tofu and tempeh, just because. And I was very surprised to note that this cookbook does not cover the proper techniques for preparing tofu for cooking, because a truly well-prepared tofu dish can be quite delicious and possess interesting texture.

The techiques and concepts in this book are just too dated and limited to appeal to today's informed cook, vegetarian or otherwise. If you are looking to add vegetarian meals to your diet or to better understand your vegetarian diabetic nutrition, you can do better than this book. I recommend the American Diabetic Association Month of Meals 'Vegetarian Pleasures' for a more up to date, equally nutritional approach.

Recipes are simple and easy to follow.......2002-09-08

Controlling diabetes goes beyond reducing sugar intake: it also involves staying healthy by reducing fat and increasing exercise. Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook promotes a vegetarian diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans and is especially valuable for its tips on how to juggle diabetic needs with vegetarian perspectives. Recipes are simple and easy to follow.

An imaginative and diabetically sound approach.......2002-06-06

Enhanced with information on diabetes and nutrition by Patricia Berton, The Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook by Patricia Stevenson and Michael Cook offers an imaginative and diabetically sound approach to using whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit in a culinary wealthy of meat-free recipes, each designed to help control diabetes naturally. The reader is provided with an informative overview of diabetes and how to control diabetes through diet and exercise, along with an invaluable section on meeting the nutrient needs of the diabetic including fiber in the diet, counting calories, carbs, protein and fat, as the vegetarian diet with respect to minerals and vitamins. Of special interest is the information provided on exchange lists for meal planning, as well as cooking and shopping tips. The delicious, palate pleasing, appetite satisfying recipes range from Strawberry Muffins; Tofu Potato Salad; and Vegetable Fried Rice; to Falafel; Broccoli-Mushroom Casserole; and Apple-Oat Drop Cookies. The Whole Foods Diabetic Cookbook is a strongly recommended addition to the cookbook collection for diabetics.

Simple, Easy, Tasty Recipes.......2000-10-09

I turn to this cookbook regularly. Whether I'm cooking for myself, for company, or for a potluck dinner, I can always find something good *and* easy in its pages. The Far East Fried Rice recipe is now my standard (and much-complimented) potluck dish, and several others, including the Easy Lentil Stew, are regulars in my kitchen. Although I was a meat eater and therefore not used to vegetarian cooking when I bought this book, I never found the recipes to call for ingredients I couldn't find at my regular grocery store, or thought that the end products were anything less than delicious. This is more than just a cookbook -- the helpful discussion of nutrition and diabetes at the beginning of the book makes it a good reference, too -- but the recipes are really what makes it special. The cooking directions are brief but thorough and easy to follow. Also, because I am now a vegan, I greatly appreciate the simple and tasty recipes for making alternatives to standard cheese dishes. Whether you are a vegetarian/vegan or not, whether you need to follow a diabetic diet or not, I recommend this cookbook highly.
