Summary

Dig into the king among rice dishes—from everyday simple to extravagant variations—plus recipes for the cazuela and caldero, and desserts.   
 
The most famous dish of the hottest cuisine in town right now, paella is as flavorful as it is festive. Longtime Barcelona resident and Spanish food expert Jeff Koehler fills us in on this cherished rice dish, from its origins to just what it takes to make the perfect one (even without an authentic paella pan). Thirty recipes range from the original paella valenciana, studded with chicken and rabbit, to his mother-in-law’s Saturday shellfish special, to sumptuous vegetarian variations, to surprising soups and sweet takes. Stunning scenic photographs, shots of the finished dishes, plus a source list of unusual ingredients and special equipment round out this gorgeous homage to one of Spain’s national culinary treasures. 
 
“Koehler does an excellent job of deconstructing paella, an often intimidating dish.” —Publishers Weekly

    Did you know that detox diets aren’t the best way to detoxify your body? 
    Believe it or not if you’re looking for anti-aging solutions, faster healing, fat burning, and obtaining physical peak performance, then diets and exercise shouldn’t be your main solution. 
    Think about it. 
    Body building, lifting weights, running, doing lots of cardio, and working out in the gym destroy muscular tissue. They’re not about healing. The real body building actually happens after your workout. 
    It occurs during a process called autophagy. 
    Autophagy is a state that the body enters where healing and recycling occurs. And it all happens in the cellular level. It is deeply rooted in our bodily systems. The good news is that the process of autophagy can be induced and it can be sustained. 
    We will go over the pros and cons of autophagy and fasting (intermittent fasting to be exact). On top of that we will also cover other options and whether they are for you or not. 
    The best way to induce or to kick start this process, according to experts, is through fasting. No doubt about it. During fasting the body enters a “self-eating” mode—which is what the word “autophagy” literally means. 
    This book covers what happens to the body during the fasting state. We will go over the underlying processes when you fast. We will also go over what makes fasting difficult during the first few hours and how other people can go on fasting and still stay strong and active despite being in a fasted state for more than 24 hours. 
    If you’re looking for the next step (well, the most cost efficient step actually) into longevity, healing, weight loss, detoxification, mental, and overall health, then autophagy may be the solution that you have been missing all this time.So scroll up, click “Buy Now” and let the information you find in this book help you to improve your health and overall well-being!

    “Mandatory for parents” this innovative cupcake cookbook will help with “having fun in the kitchen . . . and awakening the creative monster within us all.” (Andrew Zimmern, chef, author, and host of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods) 
     
    Bake It in a Cupcake takes the cupcake craze to the next level, operating on the logical assumption that the only thing better than a delicious cupcake is one with a sweet or savory treat—mini pie, fruit, chocolate kiss, breakfast cereal, baklava, cheese, even egg—hidden inside it. As the saying goes, it’s what's on the inside that counts. 
     
    Based on Megan Seling's popular blog Bake it in a Cake (www.bakeitinacake.com), Bake It in a Cupcake includes 50 recipes—many accompanied by color photographs and step-by-step instructions so that even inexperienced bakers will find it easy to make these fun, eye-catching, and unique desserts. Recipes are organized into chapters by what's inside, whether that's another baked good, fruit, or your favorite candy. 
     
    Bakers of all ages and experience levels will enjoy making—and eating—Seling's delectable filled creations like Banana Pudding Pie Cupcakes with Butterscotch Frosting, Miniature Cherry Pie Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Frosting and Mission Fig-Spiced Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting. 
     
    “Brimming with fun and decadent recipes . . . an essential volume for the adventurous baker.” —Jessie Oleson, author of CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life 
     
    “I've sampled several dozen of Megan's stuffed cupcakes—each a delicious work of art and a mind-boggling feat of engineering—and now it's your turn. Prepare to have your mind and your taste buds blown—along with any preconceived notions you may have had about what a cupcake can be.” —Dan Savage, author of Savage Love
