Take back the tray : revolutionizing food in hospitals, schools, and other institutions / by Maharaj, Joshna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."Good food generally doesn't arrive on a tray: hospital food is famously ridiculed, chronic student hunger is deemed a rite of passage, and prison meals are considered part of the punishment. But Chef Joshna Maharaj knows that institutional kitchens have the ability to produce good, nourishing food, because she's been making it happen over the past 14 years. She's served meals to people who'd otherwise go hungry, baked fresh scones for maternity ward mothers, and dished out wholesome, scratch-made soups to stressed-out undergrads. She's determined to bring health, humanity, and hospitality back to institutional food while also building sustainability, supporting the local economy, and reinvigorating the work of frontline staff. Take Back the Tray is part manifesto, part memoir from the trenches, and a blueprint for reclaiming control from corporations and brutal bottom lines. Maharaj reconnects food with health, wellness, education, and rehabilitation in a way that serves people, not just budgets, and proves change is possible with honest, sustained commitment on all levels, from government right down to the person sorting the trash. The need is clear, the time is now, and this revolution is delicious."-- Provided by publisher.

Cellar rat : my life in the restaurant underbelly / by Selinger, Hannah,author.;
"As Hannah Selinger will tell you, to be a good restaurant employee is to be invisible. At the height of her career as a server and then sommelier at some of New York's most famed dining institutions, Hannah was the hand that folded your napkin while you were in the bathroom, the employee silently slipping into the night through a side door after serving meals worth more than her rent. During her tenure, Selinger rubbed shoulders with David Chang, Bobby Flay, Johnny Iuzzini, and countless other food celebrities of the early 2000's. Her position allowed her access to a life she never expected; the lavish parties, the tasting courses, the wildly expensive wines-the rare world we see romanticized in countless movies and television shows. But the thing about being invisible is that people forget you're there, and most act differently when they think no one is looking. In CELLAR RAT, Selinger chronicles her rise and fall in the restaurant business, beginning with the gritty hometown pub where she fell in love with the industry and ending with her final post serving celebrities at the Hampton's classic Nick & Tony's. In between, readers will join Hannah on her emotional journey as she learns the joys of fine dining, the allure and danger of power, and what it takes to walk away from a career you love when it no longer serves you"--

Blood like ours / by Neville, Stuart,1972-author.;
"In this chilling follow-up to Blood Like Mine, one mother faces the ultimate supernatural horror: the monster she must become to protect her child. El Paso, Texas: There have been strange sightings in the foothills of the Franklin Mountains. Hunters and hikers alike have reported seeing a young girl wandering the scrub, accompanied by a pack of coyotes and stray dogs. Rabbits and mule deer have been found mutilated, drained of blood, their throats ripped open. Meanwhile, Rebecca Carter has been alive for ten days. She awoke on a steel table in a tiled morgue with only two desires: the first, to find her daughter, Moonflower; the second, to sate her gnawing hunger. So far, she has only accomplished the second. Twice. The first time on the outskirts of El Paso, a drunk man who chased her into an alley. The second time, a man who offered her food in return for a service she didn't want to provide. In his cheap motel room, she sees a news report about a young girl roaming the mountain scrub with a pack of dogs. She takes the dead man's car and heads for the mountains. In Washington, DC, Special Agent Sarah McGrath hears a news report about the sightings of a feral girl, and the disappearance of Rebecca Carter's body. The same Rebecca Carter who was shot dead by McGrath's partner, Marc Donner, moments before he was gunned down by El Paso cops. She thought he'd gone crazy, but now she's not so sure. Even though she knows it's a mistake, she flies from DC to El Paso, looking for answers."--
