What do architectural design and food have in common? According to internationally acclaimed architect John Pawson and celebrated food writer Annie Bell, both are best when pared down to their essentials. Their goal in Living and Eating is to enrich the experience of living by getting rid of everything that is unnecessary and distracting, leaving us with the elements that truly matter. They seek to enhance the time we spend in the kitchen and at the table without expending extra time or effort.
The recipes are stunning--surely impressive enough to wow guests--but all are exceedingly simple to prepare. In Red Wine Risotto, wine cloaks the rice with a lustrous deep crimson emulsion and creates a delectably silky texture. Only butter, a chopped onion, chicken stock, and a little Parmesan are needed to complete the dish. Roast Monkfish is smeared with an anchovy-rosemary-lemon-butter and wrapped with prosciutto. As it bakes, a deliciously buttery sauce is formed, perfect for mopping up with chunks of crusty bread.
Pawson and Bell include no fewer than nine recipes for roast chicken--from homey Chicken Roasted with Garlic to the more exotic Roast Guinea Hen with Pistachio and Lemon Crumbs. Desserts are likewise familiar, while at the same time elegant enough to serve to guests. Baked Couscous Pudding with Raisins offers a clever twist on rice pudding--and it's equally rich and satisfying. Pan-Poached Nectarines in Spiced Wine Syrup are exotically scented with lemongrass and cardamom pods.
With its spare page design and stunning photographs of Pawson's extraordinary home, Living and Eating will surely strike a chord with anyone looking for a simpler way to live, eat, and entertain. --Robin Donovan
Book Description
As one of the world’s foremost proponents of minimalism, British architect John Pawson has spent his life trying to distill the world into its essentials. In his first cookbook, Pawson brings this philosophy of simplicity to the kitchen.
In
Living & Eating, using methods similar to those he brings to structural design, John Pawson creates simple menus that underscore the unique character of each ingredient. Beginning with a sound foundation, Pawson advises us on the cornerstones of quality in food. In the recipes that follow, he emphasizes the strengths of particular ingredients. The simple poached egg, for example, relies on nothing more than fresh eggs, boiling water, and a splash of vinegar to attain its perfect degree of richness. A more complex dish, such as Lemon Risotto, blends the robust flavors of citrus zest, aged cheeses, and savory broth into a creamy mixture in which each element is maximized.
The color photographs that illustrate the book were taken in Pawson’s elegantly spare London townhouse and demonstrate perfectly his vision of uncluttered luxury. Separated into two main parts,
Living & Eating covers both cooking and home design.

My Favourite Cookery Book.......2004-09-09
I've got hundreds of cookery books. This is my favourite cookery book for several reasons. The recipes are fail-proof and the results are restaurant quality every time. The recipes appeal to me and make me want to try them (there are only a handful of things remaining that I've not tried to make yet). The book is as much about lifestyle and style as much as cookery - its refreshing to look at and inspiring to read. My favourite recipes from the book are often the most simple and frequently cook them - midnight spaghetti, vichyssoise & salmon, venetian peas & rice, tomato & basil lasagne, the best shepherds pie you could ever make and a nifty way to cook perfect, tender steaks.
Recipies that work - everytime.......2002-07-16
Being an amateur cook is not always easy. But this book starts out setting the stage with cookware etc. It then explains in an effortless way how to cook some of the best dishes I have ever prepared. The stuff works every time and it always looks good. Currently this is my one stop book for all my dinner parties, and I have a large collection of cookbooks! Well worth the money and a beautiful book to read as well.

Jamaica Kincaid beautifully delineates hatred and fear, because she knows they are often a step away from love and obsession. At the start of Annie John, her 10-year-old heroine is engulfed in family happiness and safety. Though Annie loves her father, she is all eyes for her mother. When she is almost 12, however, the idyll ends and she falls into deep disfavor. This inexplicable loss mars both lives, as each grows adept at public falsity and silent betrayal. The pattern is set, and extended: "And now I started a new series of betrayals of people and things I would have sworn only minutes before to die for." In front of Annie's father and the world, "We were politeness and kindness and love and laughter." Alone they are linked in loathing. Annie tries to imagine herself as someone in a book--an orphan or a girl with a wicked stepmother. The trouble is, she finds, those characters' lives always end happily. Luckily for us, though not perhaps for her alter ego, Kincaid is too truthful a writer to provide such a finale.
Book Description
Annie John is a haunting and provocative story of a young girl growing up on the island of Antigua. A classic coming-of-age story in the tradition of The Catcher in the Rye and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Kincaid’s novel focuses on a universal, tragic, and often comic theme: the loss of childhood. Annie’s voice—urgent, demanding to be heard—is one that will not soon be forgotten by readers.
An adored only child, Annie has until recently lived an idyllic life. She is inseparable from her beautiful mother, a powerful presence, who is the very center of the little girl’s existence. Loved and cherished, Annie grows and thrives within her mother’s benign shadow. Looking back on her childhood, she reflects, “It was in such a paradise that I lived.” When she turns twelve, however, Annie’s life changes, in ways that are often mysterious to her. She begins to question the cultural assumptions of her island world; at school she instinctively rebels against authority; and most frighteningly, her mother, seeing Annie as a “young lady,” ceases to be the source of unconditional adoration and takes on the new and unfamiliar guise of adversary. At the end of her school years, Annie decides to leave Antigua and her family, but not without a measure of sorrow, especially for the mother she once knew and never ceases to mourn. “For I could not be sure,” she reflects, “whether for the rest of my life I would be able to tell when it was really my mother and when it was really her shadow standing between me and the rest of the world."

i kept falling asleep . . . but kincaid is talented.......2007-07-10
I tried reading Jamaica Kincaid's Annie John and I
just couldn't finish it. The problems with the
story included Annie John herself. I didn't have
a problem with the sexual feelings, I just didn't realize
that was a "concern" until about 50 pages into the
book.
I kept waiting for some ephiphany or "aha" moment
that never came. She does struggle with her sexuality
but like Kincaid's writing in this story, that
particular storyline is very fluid and just kind of
floats along. It's not great but it's not wonderful
either. I would have liked Annie John to have some
emotion other than anger towards her mother, which
I still couldn't figure out why and maybe struggle
more with her feelings besides happiness towards
other little girls.
Another problem that I had, and A MAJOR ONE, is the
lack of dialogue in this story. Kincaid spends whole
chapters describing scenery that show the rich surroundings
of the Carribbean but the characters are not very well
developed. I understand why the story is told from the
point of view of a young girl but what I don't understand
is why characters such as the Red Girl are brought in
and then disappear a chapter later.
I previously read a masterpiece of Kincaid's called The
Autobiography of My Mother. I recommend reading that
book if you truly want to see Kincaid's gift as a storyteller.
Lovely writing but not Kincaid's best.......2006-05-31
This novel has the same beautiful, flowing, sparkling language as LUCY, which I loved. The sentences are a joy to read (they reminded me a little of Thom Jones, with their relentless, driving, dialogue-free qualities). This is essentially a slice-of-life story about Annie's teenage years in the West Indies that ends with her leaving for England. Annie is an interesting and complex character and I admired the unquestioning way in which we are told about her falling in love (crush?) with Gwen and the Red Girl. There is a wonderfully female sensibility in this book, the kind that is confident enough to portray women in all their complexity, as bad and as good, as able to wish well and able to rejoice in other's pain. However, the mother-daughter relationship did not convince me. I felt as if the writer knew more about this relationship than the reader was being told and so when I came to the sentence `I no longer loved my mother,' I did not believe it because I had seen to reason for this. The mother changes as the daughter gets older and, even making room for normal teenage angst, there were parts of the narrative that seemed determined to have the mother and daughter estranged even if it was not organic to the rest of the narrative. Of course, this happens in real life all the time but the demands of fiction are different - the reader should not be expected to make assumptions from `real life.' Still, Jamaica Kincaid is a brilliant writer. Her language is superb and her story-telling, even if not best demonstrated here, is remarkable.
A Fine Line Between Love and Hate.......2006-05-21
At first, I was a bit wary about wanting to read this text as "Lucy" had not been one of my favorites. "Annie John" however, for being such a slim novel, was packed with the issues that result from teen angst in combination with the ever problematic relationship of a mother and daughter.
Annie and her mother start off with a wonderfully intimate relationship that Annie likens to "paradise" only to see it crumble as Annie matures into a sexual being, becoming TOO MUCH like her mother. It is at this time that Annie goes looking outside the home to replace the mother she now calls "serpent." Once expelled from paradise, Annie does what she can to spite her mother by thieving and hanging out with girls her mother disapproves of.
Like "Lucy," "Annie John" seems to have an evil side to her. She is angry and flawed as well as self-loathing and arrogant. In other words, she is turmoil personified. Her dark side is one reason I found this book so readable, but perhaps the most compelling thing about the novel is the mother/daughter relationship. Perhaps no one has figured out why such relationships are seemingly always fraught with intense animosity and competition, but Kincaid certainly relates the horrific reality of the fact quite convincingly.
While this story certainly contains no idealistic or happy ending, it is rich in psychology and what can only be deemed as troubling personal experience on the part of the author.
I recommend this one to any woman (or man)who ever experienced the fine line of love and hate with her own mother once upon a time.
A real study of life on a Caribbean Island -- A different review.......2006-05-04
This book reads like poetry. Ms Kincaid describes simple acts (such as doing laundry) with detail and with the perspective of a young girl. I tend to read an author's complete works. I have done so with Amy Tan and Paule Marshall. I was aware of Jamaica Kincaid but had never read her until Amy Tan named "Annie John" and "Lolita" as the 2 books which influenced her the most.
Ms Kincaid includes the small stuff which add up and leave the reader with the smell of Antiguan food cooking, and girls attending school wearing English-style uniforms.
This is a book that I will read and read again. I hope you enjoy it.
Appalling novel and annoying main character.......2006-04-12
I had to read Annie John for my English class and I can say that it is probablly one of the worst books I have read yet. Not only are the characters difficult to relate to, but the book is extremely dull and written as a comeing of age story. Basically, the book starts out with Annie, the protagonist a girl growing up in Antigua remembering how much her mother loved her when she was a young girl. Then, in the next few chapters, Annie describes herself as a 12 year old girl going to school and having an overpowering love for her friend Gwen. She has behavior problems and does some things that her mother seems shamed about and she further distances from her mother. The next couple chapters, she is an akward 15 yr. old in classes with older girls who are more developed then she is as she puts it and she dislikes this. At this time, her thoughts that her mother doesn't like her have escalated into her hating her mother and her thinking that her mother returns these same feelings. She doesn't love Gwen anymore and feels lonely. Finally, when she is 17 she leaves home and goes to train to become a nurse and oddly actually will miss her mother even though throughout the book (for the most part) she has shown strong resentment and hatred towards her mother....Anyway, this book was so extremelly horrible and I hope you don't ever read it. If you decide to read it or are forced to I pity you, because this book is trash and I don't see why anyone would publish it...BIG MISTAKE on their part.

Scientists at their best, explaining science to the public.......2007-09-04
Two of the worlds' most odious clichés relate to the scientific elite and are unfortunately often perpetrated by non-scientific academics. The first is that scientists crawl into an artificial environment and create monstrous things without regard to the consequences. The second is that the scientific upper-echelon finds it impossible to "lower" themselves to the level of everyone else. This collection of over 90 essays, written by the prime scientists of the 19th and 20th centuries, demolishes those beliefs.
The pioneers of modern understanding have often been the vanguard of those trying to educate the public about what the newest scientific discoveries really mean. And scientists have always written for the masses, such as they were. Even Kepler and Galileo wrote popular works to explain their positions.
The material in this book represents scientists at their best. You read of joy, anguish, fulfillment, shock, puzzlement, success and failure. In short, you read about humans experiencing the world. The level of difficulty is very low, suitable for high school on up.
Showing scientists at their human best, this book will convince all but the stone-minded that scientists really are at home in the world.
He could have had a V8.......2007-05-31
In a set of articles by great men that could have been worthwhile
we have a failure. I know because I have something real to compare this to
as contrastSource Book in Mathematics. What results is very like "The End of Science: Facing the Limits of Knowledge in the Twilight of the Scientific Age" in content.
What we have here is an anti-mathematics thesis with only vague points
to the real stuff.What results is a dumbed down collection that is really unworthy of the author.
Praising this book is like praising vanilla pudding!
Without the whipped cream of the mathematics the pudding is
limp and colorless. What we really need is a true source book
with the real material in it.
The closest I've seen is Roger Penrose's "The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe".
In dumbing it down there is no protection against science and the mathematics
that makes it work .
Excellent.......2000-05-11
An excellent book to read on science and mathematic related ideas. It's easy to understand and fun to read. It doesn't only stop at the scientists' and mathematicians' lives and their work. Read it and find out... More!
This book was well worth both my time and money........1999-07-28
I loved this book. It brings together the writings of some of the worlds greatest minds on the subject of science. This is a most read.
A Big Bang of information.......1998-07-28
This book is obviously only geared towards those remotely interested in physics, so that's what it does: cater to the contemplative individual. Believe it or not, this collection of writings grabbed me from the first subtitle, 'Atoms in Motion', and literally propelled me through the next 800 pages of lectures and dissertations, ranging from Mr. Isaac Asimov to Albert Einstein. If you've been looking for a comprehensive and sometimes exhaustively extensive glimpse into the universe of physics and mathematics, Mr. Ferris' treasury will not disappoint. What's more, if you buy it here at Amazon, you definitely get every penny's worth. I mean, c'mon, 18 bucks? This sucker is hard-bound. Don't pass this one up.
Book Description
Lexical-Functional Grammar was first developed by Joan Bresnan and Ronald M. Kaplan in the late 1970s, and was designed to serve as a medium for expressing and explaining important generalisations about the syntax of human languages and thus to serve as a vehicle for independent linguistic research. An equally important goal was to provide a restricted, mathematically tractable notation that could be interpreted by psychologically plausible and computationally efficient processing mechanisms. The formal architecture of LFG provides a simple set of devices for describing the common properties of all human languages and the particular properties of individual languages. This volume presents work conducted over the past several years at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, Stanford University, and elsewhere. The different sections link mathematical and computational issues and the analysis of particular linguistic phenomena in areas such as wh-constructions, anaphoric binding, word order and coordination.

Annie John: A Novel
ASIN: 0313302545 |
Book Description
Since its publication in 1985, Annie John has become one of the most widely taught novels in American high schools. Part of its appeal lies in its unique setting, the island of Antigua. This interdisciplinary collection of 30 primary documents and commentary will enrich the reader's understanding of the historical, social, and cultural contexts of the novel. Among the topics examined are slavery in the Caribbean, the various religions in the Caribbean islands, the controversy over Christopher Columbus, family life in Antigua, and emigrations from the West Indies to the United States. Sources include newspaper and magazine articles, editorials, first-person narratives and memoirs of life in the Caribbean, letters, and position papers. Most of the documents are not readily available in any other printed form. A literary analysis of Annie John examines the novel in light of its historical, social, and cultural contexts and as a coming-of-age novel. Each chapter concludes with study questions and topics for research papers and class discussion based on the documents in the chapter, and lists of further reading for examining the themes and issues raised by the novel. This casebook is valuable to students and teachers to help them understand the setting of the novel, its themes, and its young heroine.

Lovely and Tender Romance (B Grade).......2007-07-02
"Sweet Annie" is one of Cheryl St. John's most inspiring and "sweet" romances perfect for any teen or adult. Annie is one woman, even though lame with one leg, has the willpower and need to be normal like most women her age. Her parents treat her like she is a fragile doll because of her handicap. But that doesn't stop Annie from walking and loving Jacob her soul mate.
Aw Jacob! What a man. He feels he is not good enough for Annie but like two moths to a flame, they can't stay away from each other. He teaches her to embrace life and wants to be the man and hopefully a husband to Annie. The scene where he builds their future home is one that is so moving.
Some could even compare this to an inspirational romance, but overall it is about two people who want to be together regardless of those who think otherwise. Annie and Jacob's love is tender and respectful. Enjoy this turn of the century Western romance which may make you shed a tear or two.

I hated for this book to end............2006-06-29
I just finished reading this book late last night, and I must say, I HATED for this book to end.
Just as it has been described in various previous reviews, the book starts out in 1878 - at Annie's 10th birthday party. She's crippled due to a hip displacement, and is bound to a wheel chair existance. She's the daughter of the town banker, and while she has everything...she lives a lonely life of a cripple. A new boy in town, 14 year old Luke Carpenter gives her a ride on his new horse, and her family freeks out! From then on Luke is hated by her family...and avoided at all cost.
Flash forward ten years to 1888. Just shy of her 20th birthday, Annie finds herself noticing Luke more and more. She's attacted to his dark good looks, and sweet natured personality. An orphan, and a self-made-man, he owns the only local livery, and starts showing her alot of attention. Before long, he's seeing her on the sly, and they fall desperately in love. After writing to her (out of town) doctor, and discovering that he encourages her walking attempts and excercising, she discovers that she has far more options then living in a wheel chair. With Luke's encouragement, before long she's walking, starts a business as an excellent seamstress, and is enjoying a full and happy life.
This book is sweet, sexy, loving and full of inpiration. The tension of her mother's lack of encouragement, and the depression she experiences after the death of her baby toward the end only make this book all the better. By the end of the book, I worked up a nice cry ...always a good sign!
Very highly recommended! Oh...and by the way, this is a pre-quil to another excellent book by Cheryl St. John...."His Secondhand Wife". You'll recognize Annie, Luke and others in that book...which is set just a year or two later. Enjoy!
Good, but -- again! Something doesn't fit!.......2005-10-18
I love the premise of this book. Who can resist a handsome, loving man who's encouraging the semi-crippled heroine (more crippled by her family than in any physical way) to try her wings? And he's loved her since she was a lonely 10 year old!
The story is perfect while the romance, and the heroine's growth from shy & sheltered daughter into a strong, capable wife & woman, is occurring. But then the author throws a BIG left curve SPOILER ALERT // by having the heroine reject her wonderful husband after she loses their baby in an accident.
It just did not make sense to me that Annie could absolutely turn away from Luke for weeks; go home to her family & leave him with all that grief to carry alone, after EVERYTHING they had experienced together and been to each other before the loss. It spoiled the story for me, frankly. I can't rate this story more than three stars because of the frustrating lack of sense that the last third of the book suffers from!
I truly like Cheryl St. John's writing...I always "like" her books, but they always just miss that four-star review from me. There's always something that just doesn't spark; she keeps missing the "keeper" button in my mind. In this book, I know what it is --the stupid last third of the story--but in her other books, I don't know what it is that keeps her from being a "keeper". Still, I continue reading her because I hope to find that one day, Ms. St. John's writing will become not just very good, and very readable, but great.
The most sweetest poignant book I've ever read........2002-06-04
I agree with the other customers review on this book. This is a wonderful, sweet, beautiful book! A keeper! Another book I enjoyed from this author is Joe's Wife, another must read, I guaranty it!
An inspiring romance.......2001-05-06
Every once in a while, a book comes along that touches your heart and soul. Sweet Annie by Cheryl St. John is one such book.
This is the inspiring story of Annie Sweetwater, a young girl who has been coddled by her protective parents because of an illness that has left her weak and unable to walk well. When a young boy named Luke Carpenter dashes into her life, Annie discovers she longs for a world beyond her wheelchair. The resulting story is one of inspiration, love and strength.
Cheryl St. John has a wonderful gift for writing beautiful stories that not only entertain, but make you think.
