Amazon.com: Books: Aviary Slag (#)
„Full of word games and startling non sequiturs, the pieces are narrative fragments, hallucinatory visions or short parables (most are less than two pages) concerned with a characteristic theme of postmodern culture, such as commerce and art, the environment and the city, sexuality and the apocalypse. Among the more memorable stories are "The Conversion of New York Into Birds' Nests," a bureaucratic account of a pastoral fantasy ("we set to work with one hundred thousand pick-axes, three missives in fifteen million cc's"); "Wife. Then Event," in which the narrator's wife turns into a boat, sinks to a silty ocean floor and is rescued; and "Glue In the Melting Pot," a surreal account of a topsy-turvy city overrun by animals and humans with freakish powers. Servin's disjointed fiction, accompanied here by an index (E: Ecologists, Edible guns, Effete, Etruscans, Euphoria, Exegesis, Explosives) and a preface inviting us to read in a nonlinear sequence, aptly evokes the fragmentation of the contemporary world; yet his illogical prose is often more maddening than illuminating, leaving his underlying intentions largely opaque.“

Amazon.com: Books: Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun
„Ever since Ina published her first book, people write, e-mail, and stop her on the street to say how much they love the food. She's reached new heights here with recipes like sour cream coffee cake--the ultimate breakfast treat. Salads? The red lettuce, balsamic onions, and blue cheese; Chinese chicken salad; and panzanella may be the best you've ever tasted.“

Amazon.com: Books: City Chic: An Urban Girl's Guide to Livin' Large on Less
„For example, the author fusses about Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee costing $18/lb., to which I say "Ha." Not unless she's sleeping with the bean farmer (or, she's being ripped off with an undisclosed blend -- which is also possible). That stuff might *wholesale* for such a price, but if you're buying by the pound it's more like $50 a bag.“

Amazon.com: Books: Anne Willan: From My Chateau Kitchen
„While I was honored to be a student at Le Fey at La Varenne the summer of 99, I was also delighted to see the approval copy of this book on her coffee table. The books reads just as she speaks. Her extensive knowledge gains respect with anyone who has been in any kitchen, and her personable style makes it a delightful journey to France for those who have traveled there, or those who hope to soon.“
