        Book Description

        The basis of a multimillion-dollar industry of health and beauty products, aloe vera has long been known for its healing attributes. Recently it has attracted the interest of the scientific and medical communities who are studying the plant and its powerful regenerative properties. Externally, aloe vera is used to expedite the healing of burns and other injuries, rejuvenate and soften skin and hair, relieve joint and muscle pain, and help control acne. It is commonly used by physicians to heal serious burn injuries and by dentists, dermatologists, and optometrists to reduce swelling and inflammation. Internally, aloe is effective as a treatment for constipation, stomach ulcers, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a host of other health problems. 

        In this book, the author discusses the properties of aloe vera and explains why it is effective in healing. She also explores the ways the plant has been used throughout history by cultures as diverse as the ancient Egyptian and Native American. Gage demystifies the proven curative properties of aloe vera and shows how it can be used to best advantage for a wide variety of problems.

        New edition of the popular classic

        Citing case studies and current research, Diane Gage presents a balanced view of the many uses of aloe vera.

                        4 out of 5 stars Decent cookbook.......2007-07-12

                        I bought this book based upon what I saw on the Ellen DeGeneres show. However, the recipes that I wanted, and they indicated were in this book weren't. But there are still plenty of good recipes in this book that are worth buying and trying out.

                        5 out of 5 stars Terrific book.......2007-01-26

                        This is a great book with wonderful Italian recipes. For some reason, this book is not available in our area, but it was well worth the wait. I've already tried several of the recipes and they've all been absolutely delicious. The instructions are easily understandable, the ingredients' list is precise and the photos are beautiful, although there could be more. One for each recipe would be nice. But if you are looking for great Italian comfort food and wonderful smells coming from your kitchen - this book will do the trick.

                        4 out of 5 stars General Review.......2006-03-11

                        I bought this book based on what I saw on the Tony Danza Show. Unfortunately, the main reason I bought it, the recipe was not in this particular book, it was a trifle that I wanted to try out. But the rest of the recipes are very good. I think that next time the Scotto's are showing their recipes and that a particular book has these recipes in them, they should be very honest about it. Both my mom and I are were very disappointed for this very reason in the book.

                        1 out of 5 stars If you're interested in Medieval Cookery, there are better places to start.......2007-07-25

                        I cook, a lot. I am a historical interpreter and a 15th century re-enactor, and I love the taste of really good food. For those who don't care if this is historically accurate or not, then I think you've missed the point of owning a "medieval cookbook". If you like odd mixes of spices and experimentation, then have at it. For me, I'll pass having sampled several of these recipes that I found totally unpalatable.

                        So that you don't think it's all wine vinegar, I will offer up a few excellent titles for your approval. If you're interested in ceremony and how things are done at the table regarding manners and how to serve the high table, read the following:

                        The Babees Boke of Manners
                        The Boke of Keruynge: The Book of Carving (Wynkyn de Worde)

                        If you want real medieval cookbooks with the documentation to back up the recipes contained between the covers, then I'd like to suggest the following cook books:

                        Pleyn Delit, an excellent beginners book (1996)
                        The Medieval Kitchen: Recipes from France and Italy (2000)
                        Early French Cookery (2002)

                        There are others, but these are the three that I use often, and most new comers to the world of medieval cookery will discover that many of the recipes are very pleasing to the modern palate.

                        1 out of 5 stars Crackpot Cookery.......2006-10-19

                        Rabid anti-immigrant right winger who lied and claimed this book was nominated for both the Pulitzer Prize AND National Book awrd. Neither was true.

                        2 out of 5 stars Add a medieval flair to your modern party.......2005-09-25

                        I acquired this book many years ago in the 1970's. I am not sure what may or may not have changed between that edition and the edition (2003) currently being sold. However, the book does provide a wealth of pictures of pre-modern dining and does discuss the traditions and etiquet which might accompany a pre-modern feast. If you are planning one of the popular "12th Night" feasts sometimes found on college and university campuses, you may do well with this book. The recepies are generally popular and do work.

                        I will mention that the mock roasted entrails can be a bit intimidating to the modern diner. We prepared these for an event and they were served flambe at the conclusion of a game feast. By the time the mock entrails came out, the diners were fully prepared to believe that they might be real and several of them balked at sampling them. We did modify the recipe to eliminate the Pineapple substituting ingredients which would have been available in premodern Northern Europe. Those who did sample the dish did like it and still recall it almost thirty years later.

                        However, if you are interested in a well researched and attested book on premodern cooking, you are well advised to buy one of the many fine books which have become available during the intervening years.

                        1 out of 5 stars Medieval - It's Not.......2003-03-04

                        Although this book claims to be a historical reference about 1500c cookery it is not an accurate reference. The recipies are not historically accurate, and the book does not provide the original recipes. [bad], "exploitive", "fantasy" are words that my wife (a food historian) uses to describe this book.

                        Recommend anything by terrance scully.

                        4 out of 5 stars A good starting point for medieval cooks.......2001-11-16

                        This book is quite a good starting volume for the medieval chef. Unfortunately the recipes are undated or sourced and the info is quite general. But if you're not doing a specific period feast and just want to get some beginner info this is a valuable book for the shelf.

                          5 out of 5 stars Such little book, so much knowledge.......2005-11-23

                          My mom bought this cookbook a few years ago and never ended up using it because I snatched it into my own clutches and have been using it ever since.
                          The only Pumpkin Pie I make is from this book, and it's so incredible that I cannot tear myself away and switch the recipe.

                          This is a small book, easy to follow and has a picture of everything you are making. It really takes guesswork out of what you are making and makes you more inclined to actually cook, because you have a gorgeous picture next to the recipe, a great incentive.

                          There is one turkey roasting recipe that I dived in and it came out perfecto on my first try. It's hard to decide how to cook it since there are soo many books, websites and shows on it. And by last minute the disgrunted cook picks out whatever recipe they see last and it might not be the best or easiest. This one is easy and simply perfect; roast turkey with butter and sage.

                          There are soups, sides, casseroles, desserts, salads and starters. Without being confusing and over whelming this little book has exactly what you need, no extra usless recipes that no one wants to make.

                          Terrific and wonderful. True treasure for your cookbook library.

                          I prepared my very first Thanksgiving meal last year and without this book I would have failed misserably. Instead I prepared a wonderful meal full of flavor that was so easy and so delicious. Many of the recipies are now family favorites. Try the rosemary bread on page 50, my personal favorite!

                          Book Description

                          The work you are about to read is far more than a cookbook. Eat, Drink, and Be Kinky will have a broad, engaging appeal not only to serious gourmands but also to alcoholics and sex perverts as well. In fact, I think of this book as sort of a culinary version of James Joyce's Ulysses. McGovern's masterwork, to my mind, compares quite favorably with Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. For one thing, it's shorter.
                          From the Introduction by Kinky Friedman

                          Written by Mike McGovern, one of the Kinkster's legendary Village Irregulars, Eat, Drink, and Be Kinky is a feast of wit, wisdom, and some damn good recipes as featured in, drawn from, and inspired by the novels of Kinky Friedman, private dick extraordinaire and culinary mastermind.

                          When Richard Kinky "Big Dick" Friedman was only a little Kinky, growing into his Texas jeans and ten-gallon hat, he had two choices at mealtime -- take it or leave it. But the years have been kind to the Kinkster, and thanks to a successful career first as a singer/songwriter and more recently a bestselling author, Kinky has become a connoisseur of good wine, good food, and the best cigars (that he still prefers bad women just goes to show that some things never change).

                          With a choice from a full menu of everything from appetizers and soups to desserts and libations, the reader is invited to indulge in the best of Kinky cuisine, including:

                          Downtown Judy's Tortilla Soup with Chili Puree
                          Fried-Egg Sandwich a Go-Go
                          Saddle Up Burritos
                          Teri and Chinga Chavin's Ol' Ben Lucas Swordfish Stew
                          Son of Chicken McGovern
                          Steve Rambam's Jailhouse Chili
                          Frankie Lasagna
                          Beer Bread
                          Jack Daniel's Tiramisu
                          Crunchy Coconut Banana Cake

                          The book also features the world according to Kinky -- selections of wit and wisdom from all twelve of his novels on everything from life and death, love and sex, religion and God, food and wine, and the state of the onion.

                          Whether you're a fan of Kinky's music, a devotee of his novels, or just a lover of good cookin' and good eatin', Eat, Drink, and Be Kinky wilt be sure to satisfy your appetite.

                          I loved this book! My favorite recipes are the Steve Rambam Jailhouse Chili, Son of Chicken McGovern, and the Beer Bread. McGovern's recipes are fun, tasty, and easy to make--what makes this cookbook so appealing is that it lacks the impersonal, robotic listing of ingredients and the cold, almost clinical approach to cooking that most mainstream cookbooks have. McGovern's book is warm and inviting--like sitting in the kitchen of an old friend who considers cooking for you a pleasure he never tires of. I highly recommend it and look forward to his next one.

                          As far as review below goes, that guy is going around leaving wierd, exaggerated reviews for a number of books. Don't know what his beef is, but Amazon has is ISP and is looking into it.

                          Especially interested in Chicken Vodka as formerly served at Costellos prepared by George and served by Herbie with finger on plate...that author had time to cook and research recipes and have them vetted by insurance company is truly amazing-now that he is going to Europe-will await Continental cuisine tome

                          4 out of 5 stars All that Chicken McGovern and now I learn what it is........1999-09-22

                          A dish-by-dish compendium to accompany Kinky's books. Opal would have loved it. Frank McCourt's recipe may be the best Irish offering yet. I hope this book becomes a financial pleasure for McGovern and all others in the Lion's Head Authors Retirement Fund.
