Cooking for Geeks

Real Science, Great Hacks, and Good Food

By: Jeff Potter

Are you the innovative type, the cook who marches to a different drummer -- used to expressing your creativity instead of just following recipes? Are you interested in the science behind what happens to food while it's cooking? Do you want to learn what makes a recipe work so you can improvise and create your own unique dish? More than just a cookbook, Cooking for Geeks applies your curiosity to discovery, inspiration, and invention in the kitchen. Why is medium-rare steak so popular? Why do we bake some things at 350° F/175° C and others at 375° F/190° C? And how quickly does a pizza cook if we overclock an oven to 1,000° F/540° C? Author and cooking geek Jeff Potter provides the answers and offers a unique take on recipes -- from the sweet (a "mean" chocolate chip cookie) to the savory (duck confit sugo). This book is an excellent and intriguing resource for anyone who wants to experiment with cooking, even if you don't consider yourself a geek. Initialize your kitchen and calibrate your tools Learn about the important reactions in cooking, such as protein denaturation, Maillard reactions, and caramelization, and how they impact the foods we cook Play with your food using hydrocolloids and sous vide cooking Gain firsthand insights from interviews with researchers, food scientists, knife experts, chefs, writers, and more, including author Harold McGee, TV personality Adam Savage, chemist Hervé This, and xkcd "My own session with the book made me feel a lot more confident in my cooking." --Monica Racic,The New Yorker "I LOVE this book. It's inspiring, invigorating, and damned fun to spend time inside the mind of 'big picture' cooking. I'm Hungry!" --Adam Savage, co-host of Discovery Channel's MythBusters "In his enchanting, funny, and informative book, Cooking for Geeks (O'Reilly), Jeff Potter tells us why things work in the kitchen and why they don't." -- Barbara Hanson, NewYork Daily News

The First Order

By: Jeff Abbott

Sam Capra returns as he embarks on a one-man mission to find his brother from the New York Times bestselling author, Jeff Abbott, in this "fast-paced, high-octane" read (Publishers Weekly). Two brothers. One dead, executed by extremists on a grainy video. The other forged into a top undercover agent. But now, Sam Capra has reason to believe that his brother, Danny, may be alive. And if Danny has been living a secret life these past years, where has he been--and what has he become? Sam's desperate search for his brother leads him into a modern heart of darkness: the Russian elite inner circle, a group of ruthless ex-KGB billionaires who owe fealty to Russia's corrupt president, Morozov. One of these men wants Morozov dead. And Danny will be the one to kill him--on American soil. To save his brother--and to save the world from certain war--Sam, along with his mysterious partner, Mila, must stop Danny from killing Morozov. The mission will take Sam from the slums of Pakistan to the hipster galleries of Brooklyn to the Caribbean playgrounds of the superrich. And as Sam untangles the secret past locked in his brother's heart, he may be forced to make a choice between his brother--and the greater good . . .

Sam Capra Series Box Set Books 1-3

By: Jeff Abbott

Read the first three editions of Jeff Abbott's "exhilarating" (Harlan Coben) Sam Capra thriller series. ADRENALINE: Sam Capra is a brilliant young CIA agent, who is expecting his first child with his wife Lucy. They have everything they could hope for...until they lose it all in one horrifying moment. Sam receives a call from Lucy while he's at work and soon everything in his life changes. He is the sole survivor of a bombing and branded by the CIA as a murderer and traitor. Sam launches into a desperate hunt to save his kidnapped wife and child, and to reveal the unknown enemy who has set him up and stolen his family. But the destruction of Sam's life was only step one in an extraordinary plot—and now Sam must become a new kind of hero. THE LAST MINUTE: An ex-CIA agent, Sam Capra owns bars around the world as cover for his real mission—working undercover for a secret network as mysterious as it is powerful, while using his skills to find his child. Now the kidnappers have offered a deadly deal: they'll surrender Sam's child...if Sam finds and murders the one man who can expose them. Teaming up with a desperate young mother whose daughter is also missing, Sam tracks his prey–and his son–across the country in a dangerous race against time, and must unravel a deadly conspiracy if he's to rescue the only person in the world that matters to him. DOWNFALL: Sam Capra is an ex-CIA agent, and only desires to build a quiet, peaceful home for himself and his infant son. But Diana Keene walks into his San Francisco bar and his simple life starts to unravel. Diana is pursued by two gunmen, and when she finds Sam, she whispers an urgent, desperate plea: "Help me." Without any warning, Sam is thrust into a fight for his life. For Diana is being hunted by a deadly network--a shadowy alliance of select, influential men and women who use their connections, their authority, and their wealth to bend the world to their will. Now, this network aims its relentless fury against the man interfering with their plans to seize a new level of power: Sam Capra. Sam has only one hope to survive the network's all-consuming attack and return to his life with his son....he must destroy the man who owns the people who run the world.

Will they? Everyone has secrets. Some are just darker than others. And some, well, they’re worth killing to keep. Initial Reader Reactions: "Really enjoyed the book (in a twisted thriller kind of way). I was shocked multiple times and couldn't sleep for a few nights after reading the end." "Just when I thought I had it figured out...BOOM, I was wrong!" "This book is definitely not for the faint of heart." "Everything seems to follow the normal pattern of a suspense/thriller novel, until it absolutely doesn't!" "I was riveted to the story." "So many twists and turns ... absolutely did not see that ending coming!" "Wow. I literally could not put this book down. I was shocked by the ending, and I want to read again just to make sense of it all." "I was surprised of the ending and happy to see that there is room for a sequel possibly in the future. I highly recommend this book for an amazing thriller read that surprises the reader." "Really great book. Can't recommend it enough. Keep in mind 1)you won't be able to put it down 2) you will need a friend to talk to about it." Excerpt from Midwest Book Reviews: "Jeff Berney knows how to craft a suspense story that is as compelling as any Alfred Hitchcock could have shaped. As events in multiple lives move forward in a chess match-style of intrigue, readers will not only find the story replete with surprises, but should be advised that if it's chosen for late night reading, dawn might arrive before the story's completed.

Nowhere, Mississippi

By: Jeff Frantal,Paul Munro

Following the loss of his mother, fifteen-year-old Will Douglas is on a self-destructive path to nowhere, and as fate would have it, that’s exactly where he’s heading. Will’s father ships him off to a Southern Baptist boys home in the middle of Nowhere, Mississippi—a stretch of hostile backcountry, populated by duct-taped trailers and backward beliefs. Surrounded by teenage castoffs and criminals, Will must survive the next 90 days under the iron-fisted rule of Brother Bennett, “a man of firm discipline and faith.” However, as Will soon discovers, Brother Bennett’s modes of discipline are even more extreme than his beliefs. Licks and yuckings become a part of his everyday life, and after Brother Bennett dishes out the most brutal beating he has ever witnessed, Will decides he has to find a way out of Nowhere, for the sake of his own safety. But nothing in Nowhere is ever that simple, and instead of finding a way out, Will finds himself falling for a girl he meets at church. Being around her feels like being somewhere else, like being someone else. But seeing her means breaking Brother Bennett’s rules. All he has to do is keep his head down and make it through the rest of his sentence, but some things are simply worth the risk, even if it means staying in the last place he wants to be. Set in the spring of 1990 and based on true events, Nowhere, Mississippi is an in-your-face coming of age novel that opens a door into the violence and corruption of private reform schools throughout the United States.

An “engrossing debut” novel (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me) about a couple whose dreams of adoption push them to do the unthinkable when their baby’s birth family steps into the picture. HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO SAVE YOUR FAMILY? As soon as Gail and Jon Durbin bring home their adopted baby Maya, she becomes the glue that mends their fractured marriage. But the Durbin’s social worker, Paige, can’t find the teenage birth mother to sign the consent forms. By law, Carli has seventy-two hours to change her mind. Without her signature, the adoption will unravel. Carli is desperate to pursue her dreams, so giving her baby a life with the Durbins seems like the right choice—until her own mother throws down an ultimatum. Soon Carli realizes how few choices she has. As the hours tick by, Paige knows that the Durbins’ marriage won’t survive the loss of Maya, but everyone’s life is shattered when they—and baby Maya—disappear without a trace.

Bringing Progress to Paradise

What I Got From Giving to a Village in Nepal

By: Jeff Rasley

What does it mean to bring progress—schools, electricity, roads, running water—to paradise? Can our consumer culture and desire to “do good” really be good for a community that has survived contentedly for centuries without us? In October 2008, climbing expedition leader and attorney, Jeffrey Rasley, led a trek to a village in a remote valley in the Solu region of Nepal named Basa. His group of three adventurers was only the third group of white people ever seen in this village of subsistence farmers. What he found was a people thoroughly unaffected by Western consumer-culture values. They had no running water, electricity, or anything that moves on wheels. Each family lived in a beautiful, hand-chiseled stone house with a flower garden. Beyond what they already had, it seemed all they wanted was education for the children. He helped them finish a school building already in progress, and then they asked for help getting electricity to their village. Bringing Progress to Paradise describes Rasley’s transformation from adventurer to committed philanthropist. We are attracted to the simpler way of life in these communities, and we are changed by our experience of it. They are attracted to us, because we bring economic benefits. Bringing Progress to Paradise offers Rasley’s critical reflection on the tangled relationship between tourists and locals in “exotic” locales and the effect of Western values on some of the most remote locations on earth.

Big Fat Food Fraud

Confessions of a Health-Food Hustler

By: Jeff Scot Philips

“In his rollicking, unabashed, and sometimes shocking book, Jeff Scot Philips offers an unprecedented inside look at how labels can be manipulated, regulators can be fooled, and how consumer gatekeepers—from personal trainers to nutritionists—sell high-margin ‘health food’ to an unsuspecting public that wants to lose weight.” —Oz Garcia, bestselling author of Redesigning 50 and The Balance —Why are you are you eating diet foods and getting fatter? —Why do you still have cellulite even though you eat “healthy”? —Why don’t you know what you are eating, even when you read the label? —Why does the obesity rate in America keep climbing, even though the weight-loss market is a $300 billion industry? It is because food manufacturers, the media, nutritionists, trainers, medical professionals, health inspectors, and people like Jeff Scot Philips collude for profits and are: big fat food liars.

Grandpa Jack

By: Jeff Hampton

Is it time?" Jack asked, already knowing the answer. "Yes, Jack, everyone's waiting for you. The hall is bursting at the seams with your friends. And all the networks have their people in place. All that's missing is you." "What will I say, Billy?" "Just go down there and tell them what's on your mind. Just like always." Jack nodded appreciatively, pulled open the door, and walked into the light and noise. Few people among the hundreds of millions that have populated the United States have stood where Jack Dodger stood on that November night. The odds of anyone getting to that place in time were extremely high-even more so for a man like Jack Dodger. After a lifetime of struggles, Jack Dodger wants nothing more than to spend his retirement playing cards with old friends at the barbershop in East Dallas. But everything changes on New Year's Eve when a burglar bursts through the door and takes Jack into the night at gunpoint. Jack returns safely home the next morning but with a secret and a story that will propel him into the spotlight and onto the biggest stage in America: the race for President of the United States. Will Grandpa Jack win the election? And will he survive the process? What will he learn about himself and his country along the way? Join Grandpa Jack on a journey that takes him from coast to coast and from the depth of disillusionment to the pinnacle of pride.

Telling Tales

A Collection of Short Stories

By: Jeff Jones

Everyone wants to fall in love, even the loners, and this collection of short stories by author Jeff Jones finds loners at their loneliest and introduces them to the idea of romance. Taken more from imagination than personal experience, each story in the collection presents a man or woman in need of connection and sometimes salvation. There are tales of budding romance and young love. There are stories about long-term romances in need of rejuvenation. Love isnt just romantic, though; sometimes its familial, and sometimes, we need to feel closest to those who share our name. But it is all love, in its many, many incarnations. The characters of Telling Tales have no dark shadows waiting; these are stories with happy endings, intended to inspire and uplift. Loners leave their state of reclusion and join the human race. Romantic heroes win the day. We dream of moments like these, and if were lucky, well live a real life love story of our very own.
