The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook

Recipes from the Classic Cookie to Mocha Chip Meringue Cake

By: Elinor Klivans

Chocolate chip-filled recipes that “run the gamut from a variety of cookies and candies to muffins, pies, tarts, puddings, cakes and ice cream desserts” (San Bernardino Sun). One of the greatest pleasures of life is biting into a warm chocolate chip cookie straight from the oven. Now imagine it’s Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding or Chocolate Chip Angel Cake with Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting. The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook offers forty-five recipes that cover all the dessert bases—cookies, cakes, candies, brownies, tarts, frozen treats, and more. Chocolate chips saturate these recipes inside and out, so there’s also a guide to the differences between these tiny indulgences. Using milk, semisweet, bittersweet, and white chocolate, Klivans encourages readers to discover their favorite chocolate chip recipes by, of course, tasting them all! “If you keep chocolate chips stashed in your fridge or cupboard and want to whip up something beyond the usual chocolate chip cookies, you’ll find 45 creative ideas in The Essential Chocolate Chip Cookbook.” —Tampa Bay Times

Each recipe begins with a helpful Baking Answers section to anticipate questions or problems and explain the baking ideas or techniques that the recipe introduces or emphasizes. In addition, the directions not only include tips for visual measurement but also often provide descriptive instructions for recognizing when a batter is properly mixed or an item is done. Each chapter builds on skills and techniques that have been previously explained.Beginning with the simplest recipe (for Perfectly Easy Chocolate Chip Butterscotch Blondies) in Just Stir and Bake, you progress to Glazed Fresh Raspberry Pie in No-Roll Crusts with Simple Fillings, Butter Shortbread Cut-outs in Mixing a Smooth Dough, and Deep South Pound Cake in Mixing a Smooth Batter. Now go on to Cranberry Eggnog Cake with Bourbon Butter Frosting in Putting the Frosting with the Cake, Apple and Hazelnut Macaroon Tart in Rolled Crusts for Pies and Tarts, Orange Meringue Ice Cream Cake in Whipping Eggs for Cakes and Meringues, and Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Fudge Frosting in Baking with Chocolate. Finally, wow family and friends with Aunt Elaine's Mocha Whipped Cream Shadow Cake from Whipping Cream for Cakes, Pies, and Pastries, and the Pumpkin Pecan Praline Cheesecake from Melting Sugar for Caramel and Praline. This surefire guide to turning out delicious home-made treats should be on every baker's bookshelf.

Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century

32 Families Open Their Doors

By: Jeanne E. Arnold,Anthony P. Graesch,Elinor Ochs,Enzo Ragazzini

Winner of the 2014 John Collier Jr. Award Winner of the Jo Anne Stolaroff Cotsen Prize Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century cross-cuts the ranks of important books on social history, consumerism, contemporary culture, the meaning of material culture, domestic architecture, and household ethnoarchaeology. It is a distant cousin of Material World and Hungry Planet in content and style, but represents a blend of rigorous science and photography that these books can claim. Using archaeological approaches to human material culture, this volume offers unprecedented access to the middle-class American home through the kaleidoscopic lens of no-limits photography and many kinds of never-before acquired data about how people actually live their lives at home. Based on a rigorous, nine-year project at UCLA, this book has appeal not only to scientists but also to all people who share intense curiosity about what goes on at home in their neighborhoods. Many who read the book will see their own lives mirrored in these pages and can reflect on how other people cope with their mountains of possessions and other daily challenges. Readers abroad will be equally fascinated by the contrasts between their own kinds of materialism and the typical American experience. The book will interest a range of designers, builders, and architects as well as scholars and students who research various facets of U.S. and global consumerism, cultural history, and economic history.

The Mechanical Mind of John Coggin

By: Elinor Teele

Roald Dahl meets The Penderwicks in this quirky, humorous, whimsical, and heartwarming middle grade debut about two siblings who run away from home to escape working in the family coffin business. John Coggin is no ordinary boy. He is devising an invention that nobody has ever seen before, something that just might change the world, or at least make life a little bit better for him and his little sister, Page. But that’s only when he can sneak a break from his loathsome job—building coffins for the family business under the beady gaze of his cruel Great-Aunt Beauregard. When Great-Aunt Beauregard informs John that she’s going to make him a permanent partner in Coggin Family Coffins—and train Page to be an undertaker—John and Page hit the road. Before long, they’ve fallen in with a host of colorful characters, all of whom, like John and Page, are in search of a place they can call home. But home isn’t something you find so much as something you fight for, and John soon realizes that he and Page are in for the fight of their lives.

Menifee Valley

By: Elinor Martin,Betty Bouris

Menifee Valley lies 80 miles east of Los Angeles in Riverside County, halfway between the cities of Perris and Temecula. Settlers originally ventured into this isolated wilderness of sagebrush and live oaks to stake out mining claims, dig for gold, and plant wheat. Others came for the healthy climate. Homes were built miles apart, and newly constructed schools became community focal points and information centers. Menifee Wilson, a native of Tennessee, staked several claims across this serene valley, and his name just never went away. Settlers bred horses, planted orchards, drilled wells, and served as trustees on school boards. Hunting rabbits, quail, and doves were popular, and picnics and fishing in ponds and seasonal streams became family affairs. In 1950, perhaps 100 families lived in the 50 square miles of Menifee Valley. Today this panorama of pastoral landscapes is home to 65,000 people.

Eleven Years In Soviet Prison Camps

By: Elinor Lipper

The shocking and absorbing account of life in the hell of the Soviet Gulag system is told in all his horrific details here by Elinor Lipper. “IN THIS BOOK I have described my personal experiences only to the extent that they were the characteristic experiences of a prisoner in the Soviet Union. For my concern is not primarily with the foreigners in Soviet camps; it is rather with the fate of all the peoples who have been subjugated by the Soviet regime, who were born in a Soviet Republic and cannot escape from it. The events I describe are the daily experiences of thousands or people in the Soviet Union. They are the findings of an involuntary expedition into an unknown land: the land of Soviet prisoners, of the guiltless damned. From that region I have brought back with me the silence of the Siberian graveyards, the deathly silence of those who have frozen, starved, or been beaten to death. This book is an attempt to make that silence speak.”-from the Author’s Preface.
