Small Town Romance
Growing up, Elli Eversol spent nearly every summer in Sand Dollar Cove at her grandparents’ beach house, working at their shops on the old fishing pier. After a hurricane and Nor’easter damage the pier and the shops nearly beyond repair, Elli returns to town to help rebuild. She even launches the Buy-A-Board campaign to raise funds for the plight. Holden Moore is back in Sand Dollar Cove, too. He broke Elli’s heart years ago, but he’s pulling every Romeo trick in the book to win her back now. Yet there’s more to Holden’s agenda, and it doesn’t include saving the pier. Brody Rankin is eager to scout the location for his company’s new mega-warehouse near a quaint North Carolina beach town. The online request for handyman assistance for the Buy-A-Board campaign in Sand Dollar Cove gives him the perfect reason to head to the east coast, check out the area, and contribute to a good cause. He’d only have to leave half of his playboy-surfer lifestyle behind for a little while—there are plenty of waves in the Atlantic. But when he meets Elli Eversol, she really gets the surf up, and he’s tempted to toss his playboy ways out with the tide.

Chinese Cooking

Mission Chinese Food is not exactly a Chinese restaurant. It began its life as a pop-up: a restaurant nested within a divey Americanized Chinese joint in San Francisco’s Mission District. From the beginning, a spirit of resourcefulness and radical inventiveness has infused each and every dish at Mission Chinese Food. Now, hungry diners line up outside both the San Francisco and New York City locations, waiting hours for platters of Sizzling Cumin Lamb, Thrice-Cooked Bacon, Fiery Kung Pao Pastrami, and pungent Salt-Cod Fried Rice.

The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook tracks the fascinating, meteoric rise of the restaurant and its chef. Each chapter in the story—from the restaurant’s early days, to an ill-fated trip to China, to the opening of the first Mission Chinese in New York—unfolds as a conversation between Danny and his collaborators, and is accompanied by detailed recipes for the addictive dishes that have earned the restaurant global praise.

Pressure Cooking Recipes

Optimize the speed and convenience of your Instant Pot® by prepping jars for dump-and-cook dishes for breakfast, dessert, and everything in between.

The wildly popular Instant Pot has made cooking delicious meals quicker and easier than ever. However, you still need to prepare the food that goes into your Instant Pot. This book shows how to create pre-prepped, mason-jar-filled entrees that make meal time as easy as 1-2-3: dump the jar’s pre-measured contents into your Instant Pot, add water, and pressure cook. It’s easier than microwave mac and cheese but way better tasting and far more healthy.

The Instant Pot Meals in a Jar Cookbook offers a wide selection of meals in a jar, including breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts. It details the specific meal prep needed to stock your pantry with mason jars full of all-natural foods that are ready to cook at a moment’s notice. There are also recipes that include combining the shelf-stable meal in a jar with fresh vegetables or meats from your fridge for an even more delicious entree that still requires almost zero meal-time work.
