Njuta : enjoy, delight in : the Swedish art of savoring the moment / by Brantmark, Niki,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Derived from the old Swedish word "niuta", the concept of "njuta" is a deeply held philosophy closely tied to Swedish cultural and social ideology. Njuta is believed to have originated with Viking culture, and to have evolved from the old Norse word "njota" which means to enjoy, to keep, to use. Deeply ingrained in the Swedish psyche, njuta is about simplicity and intentionalism in every aspect of life-from work and leisure to family and food and everything in between. The Swedish are masters at gleaning delight from the simple things in life. It is the small things in which greatness lies and it does not take grand gestures or vast amounts of money to believe that life is not only okay but truly wonderful. What the Swedish understand is that simple pleasures are all around us, every minute, every hour of the day. You just have to stop, tap into your senses, and take time to consciously appreciate them. You need to "njuta"! In this inviting, inspirational, illustrated guide, Niki Brantmark explains njuta and how to incorporate it into your own lifestyle. In the home, take time to savor that first sip of coffee in the morning. Relish a quiet moment while everyone is out - just you, in a cozy corner by the window in silence. In nature, enjoy the landscape, the silence, the dappled sunlight over the snowy tracks, your breath forming clouds in the frigid air. Njuta might be as simple as deciding to stop mid-step and angle your face up to the sun to soak up its wonderful warmth, or feel the wind in your hair as you cycle to work. This guide will also help you discover njuta in moments spent with your friends and family, and moments spent with yourself. With this beautifully designed, idea-filled guide, you can learn to relax and consciously enjoy a moment in time no matter how small"--

The end of food allergy : the first program to prevent and reverse a 21st century epidemic / by Nadeau, Kari,author.; Barnett, Sloan,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A life-changing, research-based program that will end food allergies in children and adults forever. The problem of food allergy is exploding around us. But this book offers the first glimpse of hope with a powerful message: You can work with your family and your doctor to eliminate your food allergy forever. The trailblazing research of Stanford University's Dr. Kari Nadeau reveals that food allergy is not a life sentence, because the immune system can be retrained. Food allergies -- from mild hives to life-threatening airway constriction -- can be disrupted, slowed, and stopped. The key is a strategy called immunotherapy (IT) -- the controlled, gradual reintroduction of an allergen into the body. With innovations that include state-of-the-art therapies targeting specific components of the immune system, Dr. Nadeau and her team have increased the speed and effectiveness of this treatment to a matter of months"--

Molly's story begins in the suburbs of Chicago in the 90s, when things like Lunchables and Dunkaroos were the objects of her affection; continues into her New York years, when Sunday mornings meant hangovers and bagels; and ends in her beloved new home, where she's currently trying to master the art of the hotdish. Celebrating Molly's Jewish/Chinese background with recipes for Asian Scotch Eggs and Scallion Pancake Challah Bread and her new hometown Scandinavian recipes for Cardamom Vanilla Cake and Marzipan Mandel Bread, Molly on the Range will delight everyone, from longtime readers to those discovering her glorious writing and recipes for the first time"--

Eating wild in Eastern Canada : a guide to foraging the forests, fields, and shorelines / by Simpson, Jamie,1974-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."An illustrated narrative guide to collecting, cooking, and eating wild food on the East Coast From fiddleheads to spruce tips, wild food can be adventurous and fun-with the right guide.

Includes historical notes and recipes, cautionary notes on foraged foods' potential dangers, and interviews with wild-edible gatherers and chefs.

Remain in love : Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina / by Frantz, Chris,1951-author.;
"Two iconic bands. An unforgettable life. One of the most dynamic groups of the '70s and '80s, Talking Heads, founded by drummer Chris Frantz, his girlfriend Tina Weymouth, and lead singer David Byrne, burst onto the music scene, playing at CBGBs, touring Europe with the Ramones, and creating hits like "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House" that captured the post-baby boom generation's intense, affectless style. In Remain in Love, Frantz writes about the beginnings of Talking Heads-their days as art students in Providence, moving to the sparse Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared where the music that defined an era was written. With never-before-seen photos and immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn-and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman. At the heart of Remain in Love is Frantz's love for Weymouth: their once-in-a-lifetime connection as lovers, musicians, and bandmates, and how their creativity surged with the creation of their own band Tom Tom Club, bringing a fresh Afro-Caribbean beat to hits like "Genius of Love." Studded with memorable place and names from the era--Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, and Debbie Harry among them--Remain in Love is a frank and open memoir of an emblematic life in music and in love.
