Is the global transition to “plant-based” headed in the right direction? How sustainable is a plant-based diet if it revolves around refined carbs like bread, rice and noodles, or fake meat, uninspiring salads, and sugary smoothies?

In her debut cookbook, The Vegetarian Reset, Vasudha Viswanath celebrates a lifestyle where a foodie’s sensibility intersects with eating healthy. It solves the never-ending dilemma that vegetarians face – is life fun when you eat a salad every day or is your health taking a backseat when you eat a big bowl of rice or pasta without enough protein?

Within the pages of this delicious cookbook, Vasudha has created 75 low-carb and high-protein recipes that are rooted in whole foods like vegetables, legumes, spices, and healthy fats. Her recipes take readers on a culinary trip around the world, drawing inspiration from an array of traditional eastern and western cuisines.

The recipes put vegetables front and center for low-carb alternatives to white rice or noodles and creating breads out of less-processed alternatives like chickpea and almond flour. Smoothies are refreshingly savory, and desserts are lightly sweetened with whole fruit. Nutritional facts are provided for each recipe. Moderate amounts of full-fat dairy and eggs are called for in some recipes, but vegan alternatives are often suggested as well.

The Vegetarian Reset offers diverse recipes organized into nine chapters, including:

Breads (Zucchini Bread, Avocado Toast, Dosas with Chutney, Eggplant Chili Cheese Toast, Khachapuri)
Rice (Kadhi with Jeera Rice, Vegetable Bibimbap, Lemon Risotto, Ven Pongal with Tomato Chutney)
Pasta and Noodles (Saag Lasagna, Pad Thai with Seared Tofu, Cacio e Pepe, Curried Lentil Mushroom Bolognese)
Salads (Falafel Salad, Sundal, Tandoori Paneer Salad)
Soups and Lentils (Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup, Spring Pea and Spinach Soup, Shepherd’s Pie)
Eggs (Shakshuka, Huevos Rancheros, Eggs Florentine, Okonomiyaki, Unda Kathi Roll)
Small Plates (Masala Vada, Cucumber Summer Rolls, Celeriac Patatas Bravas, Arancini with Marinara)
Smoothies (Turmeric-Almond Lassi, Cucumber Mint Gazpacho, Avocado Lime, Masala Chaas)
Desserts (Hazelnut Brownie, Berry Cashew Burfi, PBJ Sandwich Cookies, Mango Cheesecake Jars)

“Embracing whole foods and a plant-forward diet in this satisfying, delicious and nutritious way, allows your body to reset, and will likely lead to a lasting overall change in your food preferences, toward healthier options,” Vasudha says.

Whether you already follow a low-carb lifestyle or simply want to add more healthy dishes into your rotation, The Vegetarian Reset will delight and inspire everyone to eat well and fully nourish your body.

Every chocolate company founded in the last 400 years has been selling chocolate short. That’s 20 generations of over promising and under delivering. From monocropping pesticide drenched cacao trees, to loading chocolate with too much over-processed sugar, to exploiting slaves (children included)... all to get you a cheap treat that leaves you feeling empty. The buck stops HERE.

YES Cacao is satisfying a hunger for innovation in the chocolate industry:

What if chocolate gave you more than just a quick bump in energy, or a short lived pulse of pleasure on your palate?
What if you could eat as much chocolate as you wanted, and still look & feel fantastic?
What if chocolate was your vehicle to cultivate the mind, body, and nervous system into an optimal playground for joy, productivity, and consciousness?
We are your best tasting solution. Make a wish & take a bite. Snap into your power with YES Cacao Botanical Chocolate®

Satisfy Your Sweet-tooth HERE: https://www.yescacao.com

Over the past decade, Justin has been in service of the cacao bean and its many talents, namely as a delivery system for botanicals. In his early adolescence he was exposed to several "forgotten foods", like ginseng and spirulina, that changed the way he felt in his body. This sparked a quest to find more magical botanicals that have beneficial effects on our energy levels. Many of these foods don't taste particularly yummy, BUT he recognized that folding their flavors in to chocolate was highly effective, and more pleasing to the palate.

Focusing his perspective on chocolate innovation, and education in the holistic health and wellness category, Justin has formulated over 50 delicious potions blended into wild harvested chocolate. He personally consumes half a pound of chocolate daily. In true Willy Wonka style and philosophy, he is an inspirational cheerleader for everyone to find their YES.
If you happen to meet Justin on the streets, you may find him singing “YES!”, dancing like a wild child, praising freely, and concocting what he calls Yesology. He is inspired by service to humanity, expansive consciousness, wise friendships, and by his beautiful wife, Zoë, his cosmic son, Orion, and is getting ready to welcome his daughter in the Autumn of 2020 (names are still brewing). He's a fan of ceremonial tea, adventuring to foreign lands, and engaging plant medicine of the old pharmacopoeias. Contact Justin by email at [email protected]

Are you ready to murder your next movie night?

Introducing The Horror Movie Night Cookbook: 60 Deliciously Deadly Recipes Inspired by Iconic Slashers, Zombie Films, Psychological Thrillers, Sci-Fi Spooks, and More by Richard S. Sargent [ISBN: 978-1-64604-491-7; Ulysses Press; July 2023], a killer new cookbook offering thoughtful and tasty food and cocktail pairings inspired by the actual content of chilling classics like Jaws, Psycho, Scream, The Conjuring, The Evil Dead, Halloween, and more!

If you're looking for kitschy Pinterest recipes like coffin-shaped cookies or zombie finger sandwiches, look elsewhere. With The Horror Movie Night Cookbook, you’ll find recipes inspired by horror’s most frightening favorites, including:

Crawling Steak (Poltergeist)
Campfire Sour (The Blair Witch Project)
Zombie Baby Kale Salad (Dawn of the Dead)
Bloody Floaties (Jaws)
Alligator Bites (Crawl)
The Mama’s Boy Martini (Psycho)
And more!


GET THE COOKBOOK HERE: https://amzn.to/46XLaAI


Unlike other movie-themed cookbooks, The Horror Movie Night Cookbook takes you inside the films. “Inspired by the film itself, the recipes are built around food that is being eaten in the films or iconic lines or characters within. It’s not just a cookbook to pull out in October,” Sargent says. “My recipes are thoughtful and creative meals that can be served any time of the year.”

Richard S. Sargent was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Some of his earliest memories are of sitting in front of the TV after school, watching reruns of Chiller Theatre with his mom. You can blame her for his obsession with horror films. Richard is an award-winning actor, director, producer, playwright, and filmmaker. You can find some of his short plays published on Amazon via Left Coast Publishing. His short film, Meat, described as “torture porn with bacon,” was released in the horror anthology World of Death. Richard has always been interested in creative cooking.

Most of his day jobs were in restaurants and on food trucks. After taking a few cooking classes, Richard decided doing it for a living would take all of the fun out of it. So he found a new way to keep cooking fun: The Horror Movie Night Cookbook! When he isn’t doing theater, cooking for his friends, or watching horror films, he is performing with the band he and his husband created—The Green Winter. You can listen to their music on iTunes and Spotify. To stay up to date with all of his projects, you can find more info on Facebook and Instagram.

It's peak summertime and after the immense success of Rupee's award winning lager nearly two years ago, brothers Van & Sumit Sharma enlisted the strategic insight of global craft brewing legend and creator of iconic Pumpkinhead, one of the most successful seasonal beers to ever hit the market to brew their next highly anticipated sku.

"The beer industry, South Asian community, and restaurant & food world have been asking us for months if we have any new beers coming out, and after much thought, research and development, we are excited to launch our signature Mango Wheat Ale on World Mango Day on July 22nd"

Mangos are the national fruit of India and considered sacred symbols of proprietary and good luck. In fact, India is the largest consumer and supplier of mangos in the world. Taking the 'King of Fruits' the team wanted to brew an easy to drink summer ale which is smooth with hints of tropical aroma and mango flavor.

The history of the mango dates back to 4000 BC on the Indian Subcontinent where over 1000 varieties of the fruit exist. One of these varieties, the Chaunsa mango was given its name by the revolutionary leader, Sultan Sher Shah Suri, creator of the modern day Indian Rupee which was the inspiration of the brand's first lager sku. In 1539, Sultan Sher Shah Suri defeated the second Moghal Emperor, Humayun, in the Battle of Chaunsa. In his extreme happiness, he commemorated the victory by naming his favorite variety of mango, the Chaunsa.

After relocating back to America after years living in London & Australia, the brothers having grown up in the Indian restaurant trade their entire lives wanted to shake up an industry which they truly felt lacked representation, and which also continued to make sub-par beer not designed to pair with the spicy and flavorful foods they grew up on.

Rupee Beer is available at national retailers such as Costco, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Total Wine, as well as top international restaurants within the Indian, Asian, Middle Eastern and Mexican category.

Today, Arden's Garden is a thriving family-owned business that offers a variety of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and other plant-based products. Leslie is now on a mission to make healthier living accessible and affordable to all, and is passionate about promoting the benefits of juicing and adopting a plant-based lifestyle. After a complete turnaround from her young adult life and walking her truth, Leslie is now living the healthiest life possible. She strictly follows a plant-based diet, ensuring she gets a regular dose of exercise alongside some Yoga to keep her mind and body in tip-top shape.


Web: https://www.ardensgarden.com


The Story

Leslie’s life wasn’t always filled with health and vibrance. At the tender age 13, young and curious Leslie started experimenting with a variety of recreational substances such as marijuana and alcohol. Unfortunately for Leslie, her envoy in drugs quickly escalated into more alarming territories, eventually diving into more dangerous concoctions such as cocaine. Though she stayed sober for a while, the craving for drugs proved to be too much eventually leading her to relapse.

After hitting rock bottom, her father came to her aid, looking for treatment which led her to the NJ Alina Lodge where she sought treatment for her addiction. At the age of 20, she attended a short-term, 30-day, in-patient treatment, but was eventually moved to a long-term 3-month stay in the facility. She ended up staying in the facility for 11 months, soon moving on to a halfway house for 6 more months to help her bounce back and readjust to everyday life. Following her journey toward rehabilitation, she stayed for one last year in New Jersey, eventually coming back to Atlanta. Since then, she has been completely sober.

During her path to recovery, Leslie discovered the many benefits of juicing and having a plant-based lifestyle firsthand from her mother and witnessed her mom building Arden’s Garden. After years of following the footsteps and influence of her mother, Arden’s Garden was passed on to Leslie, letting her manage the business and continue operating as an oasis of health in food deserts. Now she has her own family to nurture and care for. Following a healthy lifestyle, she gave birth to 4 beautiful children later in her life, without any need for medical intervention.

Similar to her mother, Arden, Leslie continues to positively influence her family to share a passion for fitness and nutrition. Her daughter, Delaney, also had personal struggles with health, afflicted with morbid obesity. Inspired by her mother and grandmother, Delaney also found a passion for sports, fitness and has already adopted a plant-based lifestyle. Since finding her way back to health, she’s lost over 150 pounds and is still on the road to becoming more fit.

Today, Arden's Garden is a thriving family-owned business that offers a variety of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and other plant-based products. Leslie is now on a mission to make healthier living accessible and affordable to all, and is passionate about promoting the benefits of juicing and adopting a plant-based lifestyle. After a complete turnaround from her young adult life and walking her truth, Leslie is now living the healthiest life possible. She strictly follows a plant-based diet, ensuring she gets a regular dose of exercise alongside some Yoga to keep her mind and body in tip-top shape.

Once again from the excess and folly of Palm Beach society, the novelist Susannah Marren has woven an intricate tapestry of secrets and foreboding.

The third volume in her trilogy about the Florida haunt for the wealthy and famous, Maribelle’s Shadow comes to life with biting dialogue and the inner monologues of three sisters who are at cross-purposes with each other and their elegant, imperialistic mother. The Barrows women just can’t shake their personas and the place they came from.

“While arriving in Palm Beach with an amorphous past was common,” Marren writes, “the revelation of a backwater story was not.” It is there, in that backwater story, that the truth about the Barrows begins. Their Florida Panhandle existence — ordinary lives launched into the stratosphere by a wildly successful chain of coffee shops — had been transformed Cinderella-like two decades earlier.

Get the book HERE: https://www.barnesandnoble.com...

Mysterious Death Shakes Family Secrets Loose
Sisters Maribelle, Caroline, and Raleigh would like to keep that story hidden. With their mother Lucinda, once a modest schoolteacher and now a showpiece, they have a lot on the line.

Outside their doors lies the Intracoastal Waterway with its docks, boats, and tropical gardens. Inside their homes, “vast decorated spaces,” the 30-ish sisters argue with their husbands, host parties, and cultivate their children. This is learned behavior that could be passed on for generations: “always rushing toward what’s next and better,” as Marren describes it.
Yet within the first 14 pages of Maribelle’s Shadow, the family’s veneer is ripped off. Back home from yoga, Mirabelle learns that Samuel, her philandering husband, is dead. Two hours earlier he had insisted on driving his speedboat to work. The sunny day suddenly turned stormy and somehow the expert pilot lost control.

As the Chief Financial Officer of the Barrows Corporation, Samuel had grown the company’s bottom line through business expansion and retail innovation. Working alongside his longtime friend and business partner, Caroline’s husband Travis, Samuel seemed devoted to Barrows. He even tolerated his intrusive mother-in-law.

However, much to the anger and puzzlement of Lucinda and the three sisters, it appears that Samuel absconded with several million of the company’s profits. In disbelief, Maribelle wishes that Samuel were alive to explain what happened even though she loathes him more each day he is gone. Meanwhile, Lucinda hires a forensic accountant to plumb the books.
Reflexively, Maribelle returns to her prestigious job, managing editor of PB Confidential, a glossy magazine that is her baby. Here she can lose herself working with the staff writers and Holly, the publisher, as they continually tinker with content and design.

But during lunch at the Breakers with Holly, Maribelle is shocked to learn that a decision has been made to move the magazine entirely online. That is not all. Holly confides an important fact about PB Confidential. Suffice it to say that this revelation creates in Maribelle a sensation “somewhere between shortness of breath and someone stomping on her heart,” Marren writes.

Well-Plotted With a Keen Eye for Detail
Among the joys of Susannah Marren’s novels is her eye for detail. “Cantaloupe leather bar stools and cognac wood accents” and “the ice grey rooms that led into one another” immediately transport the reader to the homogenous interiors inhabited by—what can one say? —the insincere socialites she portrays so well.

Marren captures equally well the world outside those rooms: the blues and greys of the ocean and sky, the churning waves and rustling banyan trees; everything dependent on quicksilver weather. This affinity with Palm Beach is akin to Joan Didion’s romance with California, her evocation of the Santa Ana winds and the arrival of rain in “a place in which a boom mentality and a sense of Chekhovian loss meet in uneasy suspension.”
Maribelle’s Shadow is a beautiful, unforgettable book.
