An immigrant journey from Ireland to Australia in the early 1900s, along threads of love, family, war and peace, Wild Chicory is a slice of ordinary life rich in history, folklore and fairy tale. And it’s a portrait of the precious relationship between a granddaughter, Brigid, and her grandmother, Nell. From the windswept, emerald coast of County Kerry, to the slums of Sydney's Surry Hills; and from the bitter sectarian violence of Ulster, to tranquillity of rural New South Wales, Brigid weaves her grandmother's tales into a small but beautiful epic of romance and tragedy, of laughter and the cold reality of loss. It's tales, tall and true, that spur Brigid to write her own, too. Ultimately, here is a story of finding your feet in a new land – be that a new country, or a new emotional space – and the wonderful trove of narrative each of us carries with us wherever we might go.

Italy has produced one of the world’s greatest and most beloved cuisines, filled with vibrant flavors and soul-satisfying dishes. Unfortunately, no cuisine has been more misinterpreted than Italy’s. Now, restaurateur Tony May, owner of New York City’s San Domenico restaurant, gives readers a comprehensive cookbook that celebrates Italy’s authentic gastronomic pleasures in a way that only an Italian, devoted to the cuisine of his native country, could imagine. Originally written for culinary professionals, Tony May’s Italian Cuisine has now been adapted for the home cook. May takes the reader into the kitchens of centuries of Italian cooks to show the real panorama of Italian food in all its glory. In chapters devoted to breads, antipasti, sauces, meats, vegetables, soups, pasta, fish, poultry, cheeses, and desserts, never-before published recipes mix with time-honored classics to show readers the depth and breadth of true Italian cuisine. Here are just a few examples of the bounty just inside the covers of Italian Cuisine: Chisolini---flaky fried dough served with antipasti Zucchini blossom soup Crisp fried polenta with borlotti beans and cabbage Pappardelle with wild hare sauce Christmas capon stuffed with walnuts Ligurian seafood caponata Tortelli de Carnevale---sweet, puffy fried beignets In addition to the wonderful recipes and wealth of Italian culinary knowledge, Italian Cuisine includes a comprehensive Italian to English glossary of food terms that provides a cook’s quick reference to all things authentically Italian. Throughout, May’s inimitable native Italian voice guides the reader’s hands in a book destined to become a standard volume on the cookbook shelf. Someone once said that Italians have raised living to an art form; Tony May’s Italian Cuisine is certainly evidence of that.

"There is not one page of this enchanting book which does not contain something to interest the common reader as well as the serious student. Regarded simply as a history of flowers, it adds to the joys of the country." — B. E. Todd, Spectator. If you want to know how pleurisy root, lungwort, and abscess root got their names, how poison ivy used to treat rheumatism, or how garlic guarded against the Bubonic Plague, consult A Modern Herbal. This 20th-century version of the medieval Herbal is as rich in scientific fact and folklore as its predecessors and is equally encyclopedic in coverage. From aconite to zedoary, not an herb, grass, fungus, shrub or tree is overlooked; and strange and wonderful discoveries about even the most common of plants await the reader. Traditionally, an herbal combined the folk beliefs and tales about plants, the medicinal properties (and parts used) of the herbs, and their botanical classification. But Mrs. Grieve has extended and enlarged the tradition; her coverage of asafetida, bearberry, broom, chamomile, chickweed, dandelion, dock, elecampane, almond, eyebright, fenugreek, moss, fern, figwort, gentian, Hart's tongue, indigo, acacia, jaborandi, kava kava, lavender, pimpernel, rhubarb, squill, sage, thyme, sarsaparilla, unicorn root, valerian, woundwort, yew, etc. — more than 800 varieties in all — includes in addition methods of cultivation; the chemical constituents, dosages, and preparations of extracts and tinctures, unknown to earlier herbalists; possible economic and cosmetic properties, and detailed illustrations, from root to bud, of 161 plants. Of the many exceptional plants covered in Herbal, perhaps the most fascinating are the poisonous varieties — hemlock, poison oak, aconite, etc. — whose poisons, in certain cases, serve medical purposes and whose antidotes (if known) are given in detail. And of the many unique features, perhaps the most interesting are the hundreds of recipes and instructions for making ointments, lotions, sauces, wines, and fruit brandies like bilberry and carrot jam, elderberry and mint vinegar, sagina sauce, and cucumber lotion for sunburn; and the hundreds of prescriptions for tonics and liniments for bronchitis, arthritis, dropsy, jaundice, nervous tension, skin disease, and other ailments. 96 plates, 161 illustrations.
