The Best Italian Cookery Books

In my book review article this month I review three of the best Italian cookbooks. I have lived ten years in Piedmont Italy and my Italian wife is a fabulous cook. Once I moved to Italy I realized that very few English language Italian cookery books come close to capturing that special something that real Italian cooking is about. I set about finding those that do and this is the result.Molto Italiano: 327 Simple Italian Recipes to Cook at HomeMario’s book is just full of everything I love about Italian cooking, authentically simple recipes made with the finest ingredients. If you buy just one Italian cook book in your lifetime then this is the one. Mario comes across as just so genuinely Italian – so full of all that passion and love of life that is quintessentially Italian. The recipes too are 100% authentic. They are exactly how you would eat in Italy and just reading them makes me hungry.Sweet Myrtle and Bitter Honey: The Mediterranean Flavors of SardiniaThere are few decent cookbooks about the cuisine of Sardinia – this is the best of them. Efisio is one of the most famous Sardinian chefs and his sheer love of the magical island of Sardinia and the island’s cuisine infuses this book from beginning to end. Many of the recipes in this book are virtually unknown outside of Sardinia but boy are they tasty!! The photos are also exceptional – a beautiful journey through perhaps the most beautiful of the Mediterranean islands.Autumn in Piemonte: Food and Travels in Italy’s NorthwestI bought this magnificent book last Christmas as a gift for my wife. We both now love it. The perfect coffee table book but ours is so well thumbed it has had to be removed from the coffee table.This really is our world, our little corner of Italy in hardcover. The author succeeds brilliantly in evoking the atmosphere of Piedmont Italy and sharing the great recipes and food of Italy’s greatest culinary region. The photos are exceptional and together with the passionate writing of the author they will have you longing to follow in her footsteps.If you would like to see my other picks visit:

Six Creativity Principals

Creativity is one word that many people are familiar with but fail to comprehend. Creativity is about originality, imagination, innovation, novelty, inventiveness, ingenuity, resourcefulness and so on. Unfortunately, many people would rather copy from some one than be creative. Creativity is that vehicle brings out the better you and a key to unleashing the greater you.IN CASE YOU ARE ASKING, WHAT IS CREATIVITY?
For the sake of the underlying principle of this book, Creativity is the ability to think beyond what you see and creating something like never seen or heard before. The Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia further defines creativity as the capacity to have new thoughts and to create expressions unlike any other.”Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.”
In whatever industry you are in, you need creativity in order to be versatile and incomparable.CREATIVITY IN EVERYDAY LIFE
There are so many different ways of being creative; painting, drawing, cooking, writing, singing, composing and the list goes on and on. No matter what your passion is, you are most likely being creative. With every brush stroke, cake baked, string strummed, word written, you are expressing your emotions and getting in touch with a different part of your mind. Creativity is one way you can stretch your mind to the limit and expose what you are really made of.Creativity is a basic element in many human endeavors, such as art and design, music, literature, structural design and performance. In the same vein, in art, journalism and structural design; the individual should see the end product before they begin drawing, writing and designing respectively. No industry can do without it.As a matter of fact, art, music and journalism are one of the most creative professions I know. For example, when you take these three to a landscape; a musician will compose a piece depicting what he has seen and will use a key signature either in a minor key if the outlook is sad or a major key if it is happy.
Additionally, he will use modulation to shift the mood of the music. He can, furthermore, use improvisation to append excitement to the music. I am a musician and know that very well. Creativity is a very important aspect in music and musicians partner skill with improvisation to bring to life artistic and creative compositions.The artist, on the other hand will paint either still life or abstract art. He will use distinct colors that depict the mood of the scenery and can blend colors to bring out a creative piece of art all by the stroke of a brush.Lastly, the journalist will describe and narrate the story as he sees it but will bring in inventiveness and certain figures of speech to spice up the article. In these three professions creativity is king and without it all would be repetitive and uninteresting.Now, you will agree with me that, creativity is one ingredient that in short supply in a lot of our musical compositions, products, designs, media productions and the list is endless. If we are to break away from mediocrity then creativity is the way to go. Why? Because creativity is letting go of the familiar.WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF CREATIVITY?
God is the person behind all creativity and creativity without acknowledging the supernatural being is sheer stupidity. You see, God used his creative nature to create the Universe, the earth, the animals, trees, mountains and lastly he created man and put him in the Garden of Eden. Now man possesses identical creative nature (though not equal) as God because he was made in the image of God. Some people may not agree with what I am saying and definitely you don’t have to agree with everything.All of us are creative but it seems the only creativity some people are familiar with is creating babies. In this vein, they procreate hysterically as if in a competition.CREATIVITY IS REVOLUTIONIZING
Let’s suppose man was deficient of God’s creative nature; then the world would have been in the same state as elaborated in the book of Genesis. In view of the fact that man was made in the image of God, he has comparable creative nature as God. He has been able to invent gadgets, tools and made advancements in the area of science, engineering, music, art and other disciplines.So, in order for you to make a difference in your life- both at home, the workplace and the universe, you need to unleash the creative nature that is inborn in you.For instance, if you join an organization and fail to create any resourceful change, then you are too ceremonial and may be out of work before completing the probation period. The creative nature of God is in you; exploit it to bring change in your life, your family and your workplace.THE 6 CREATIVITY PRINCIPLES
Now let’s look at the six Creativity Principles. These will definitely help unleash the creative you whether you are a managing director, secretary, accountant, journalist, teacher, security guard, janitor, gardener or maid.Persia’s once said, “Out of nothing can come, and nothing can become anything.”1. All Creative people are dreamers
Everything we see came from an idea then believed and became a dream then achieved. Creativity begins with dreaming and dreaming with your eyes open to bring out the goodness that lies dormant in you.There is the happiness which comes from creative effort. The joy of dreaming, creating, building, whether in painting a picture, writing an epic, singing a song, composing a symphony, devising new invention, creating a vast industry.2. It is wise to learn but it is God-like to create.
You have been learning all your life and now it’s your time to unleash your creativity. How many engineers do we have in our country and what have they created?How many musicians do we have and how many compose original lyrics and instrumentation? We have been learning for along time now and my proposition is that we need to be driving cars designed, engineered and built in Zambia using Zambian parts and manpower by 2030.It is better to create than to learn! Creating is the essence of life.3. Serious people have few ideas. People with ideas are never serious.
I will say it very simple. Life is the biggest joke there is and don’t go too solemn through out life or you will end up committing suicide. People who have ideas are too mischievous sometimes and these are usually called not very regular. Why? Because they think beyond any average human being. Serious and dignified people thought the man who invented the light bulb; Thomas Edison and others were insane. Aha! In fact it was these somewhat insane people who made all the inventions dignified people thought impossible.4. A truly creative person purges him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.
You need to think out of the box. Think beyond your personal limitations. Get rid of any self imposed boundaries. You are not perfect and don’t expect yourself to be. You’ve had setbacks here and there and occasionally you feel you don’t have what it takes.5. The critical element of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
You shouldn’t be frightened of failure. I have failed before, your father, your president and everyone has failed before. It is normal, as you are being creative to encounter failures. Failures are stepping stones that can help unleash the creative you.6. Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.
There is a dream in you and I know that beyond any doubt. Additionally, there is a lot of goodness and creativity in you than you can even imagine. It took one man to invent the light bulb and it also took one man to invent the computer. It took one man, the late second Zambian president, Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, to say it’s possible to build a bridge over the Luapula River no matter what the cost and it was done. A creative person may see a lodge where everyone sees a swamp.Now, I have one question for you:What is in you that when you bring it out it might never have been seen? So, regardless of where you are or the job you do, your creativity can be a medium that can propel you to reach higher heights. Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. – Arthur KoestlerHow creative are you? Creativity is about being fed up with your status quo, routine, lifestyle and bring in excitement. Creativity is also portrayed in how resilient you are when adversity strikes. One measure of how creative you are is how you respond to changes in your circumstances and environment. How flexible are you? Consider how water adapts to its environment: evaporation, condensation, snowflake, melting, flowing, goes around rocks, fills containers, etc. – Unknown The Number one enemy In order for you to unleash your creativity, you need to purge yourself of the “this is the way things are done syndrome” and begin to envision how you can improve whatever

Solar Panels for House Appliances and Water Heating

There are a wide range of applications for solar technology and generating energy from solar panels for house appliances and water heating is an economical and environmentally conscious method. This will enable you to reduce your dependence on grid tied power as well as possibly being able to make some money back from the power companies in time.Although many people assume that the installation of solar panels for home use can be expensive there are a range of different applications that are not very expensive and by taking advantage of the many government incentive plans as well as subsidies, you can install an array of systems and produce an income from the excess energy you produce. In addition to the savings you can make by taking advantage of the grants and subsidies on offer, you can also reduce the costs of your solar installation further by building them yourself. There are a wide range of excellent online information guides which will show you how to manufacture your own panels at home for a fraction of the price of buying them and home styled panels are also often covered by the incentivized plans.Solar panels for house water heating systems can be found in the form of flat solar panels. The water inside the black tubing is heated by the absorption of light and in turn this heated water is transported to a holding tank to be used in the house. These systems are both inexpensive to buy as well as to build and although unlikely to produce enough hot water to fully support a large home, they are an excellent supplemental system for your home.Standard solar panels for house appliances include the Photovoltaic technology that we are all more familiar with. This technology is used to generate solar energy which in turn is converted from 12 volt to 230 volt to be utilized as electricity for the majority of our household appliances. The solar energy can be stored in batteries and used at a later stage which makes this an ideal solution for those living off grid and as a backup when the grid tied power supply is not available.Solar panels for house appliances and water heating systems will not only assist in keeping your utility bill down, but will also increase the value of your home making it a sound investment both in the long and short term.

Stretch Mark Therapy Nature’s Gift of Motherhood

Nature has bestowed on women the special gift of Pregnancy and Motherhood. Every woman dreams of becoming a mother in her lifetime. Times were different a few decades ago when a couple used to have minimum of half a dozen kids and go up to a dozen easily. But today the number of babies that she gives birth to is perhaps one or two at the most. Women’s body is built to nurture, support, grow and deliver another life. Thus women can be called life givers.

Women’s body has been built suitably to support the growth of fetus for nine months within her body. The mother passes on the required nourishment through the umbilical cord to the fetus.During the process of pregnancy and child birth, the woman’s body undergoes a lot of physical as well as hormonal changes. While some of the changes may be purely temporary only during the pregnancy, many changes are permanent. The Mother’s body enlarges in the abdomen, uterus as well as hips area to accommodate the growing baby. The hips, pelvic muscles as well as the uterus expand sufficiently to allow the child to pass through the canal and come out. After the birth however all of the parts including hips, abdomen and uterus begin to shrink back and with exercises and diet they can get back to their normal size. However there many more changes that remain the same and do not revert to their original composition.

What concerns women post childbirth is their stomach, waist and the stretch marks on their stomach.With the expansion and stretching of the skin during pregnancy, the skin gets scarred and causes the tearing of the dermis. After the childbirth when the skin begins to contract along with all the body parts, the stretch marks appear normally on the stomach, thighs as well as hips.

Though over a period of time these stretch marks might get lighter, but may not disappear totally. It is due to these marks that women feel conscious while wearing either swim suits or shorts where in their stomach and thighs get exposed and the marks are visible. Medically speaking stretch marks do not hamper the health of the body at all. However the stretch marks could hamper the careers where women are involved in modeling , acting etc.

Women are now days very conscious of getting back to their former looks and body immediately after childbirth. Along with nursing the new born baby, they do not loose time in hitting gym to work out. When they resume office duty a few months down the line, one can hardly tell and would need to look closely at the cheek for a little bit of fat that’s all.

This area has been the favorite of researchers across many organizations that have produced beauty aids and creams that remove stretch marks. If you walk into a super market cosmetics sections, you will find several creams with Vitamin E that are used during pregnancy as well as post pregnancy to help reduce the stretch marks. It may not be possible for the stretch marks to be eliminated totally. But for women who’s career is dependant upon their body appeal this might not serve their purpose. Today several laser treatments are available that help remove the stretch marks permanently. These treatments too are proven and completely safe procedures practiced by trained professionals.

These problems need not bother women today because plenty of solutions are available. This is the time for them to go ahead and enjoy their motherhood.

Stop The Memory Loss! Memory Training Is The Answer

Our memory is quite an unreliable storehouse of the info, its contents may change influenced by new information. Some of the events linger in our memory for a while, others fade terribly fast. On the other hand if we have recalled everything, then finally our brains would fail to discern first from the secondary and its activity would be absolutely paralyzed. That is why our memory is not just the ability to remember but also to forget. Memory loss is a fact of life, but you can improve your memory.Scientists distinguish 3 types of memory: spontaneous, short term and long term. Spontaneous memory ( direct memory ) keeps the information for about 1/4 seconds, and if its signals do not attract highest parts of the brains the information is erased and direct memory is filled with new signals. Short term memory lasts for twenty seconds. If the data is not introduced once again, it vanishes with no obvious trace. The analysis proved that short term memory considerably improves at the age of 5 – 11. Then up to thirty it remains on the same level. Later from thirty to 70 it can either progress or degenerate. Infrequently we memorize some events because of their emotional significance to us, even if they do not happen any more.The more material is connected with other factors in varied contexts and from the different viewpoints the better we memorize it. There are no tricks as for developing a sound memory. Often you can’t recollect some tallies of words or figures, detailed content of the analysis essay you wrote a week ago. Sten M. Andersen wrote a book about being memory savvy, and the name of his 128-page e-book is titled, “Memory, How to Develop, Train, and Use It.” http://www.selfhelpwebsites.net/improve-your-memory”>Stop the memory loss!

Should You Have a Dollar or Money Dance at Your Wedding

There are many questions surrounding a wedding dollar dance (also known as a money dance). Do you need to know what one is? Are you unsure if you should have one or not? Don’t worry we are here to help. What is a dollar dance?

A wedding dollar dance is a dance that is preformed by the bride and groom at the reception. Traditionally, it’s purpose is to give the couple extra money to spend on their honeymoon. It is more prevalent in some families than others. For this reason, the dollar dance has adapted slightly varying purposes over the years. Should you have a wedding dollar dance? That is strictly personal preference. Talk to your friends and family members to get their feelings about it. However, if it is something you want – then by all means have it! One bit of advice: If dollar dances are not frequently done in your area, don’t assume that your guests will know what to do. Have your bridal party, or close friends, initiate the dance. You may also want your DJ or band to announce what is taking place. How does a wedding dollar dance work? Here are two different ways: 1. The bride and groom dance together to the song of their choice. A friend, or family member, stands close to the dance floor holding straight pins. Guests go, one by one, to the bride and groom to pin money to their clothes. The dance stops when the song ends or when the last guest gives money. 2. Same as the first except the bride and groom stand apart. The male guest line up to dance with the bride and the females with the groom. Each guests gets a short (few seconds) dance with either the bride or groom after pinning money to their clothes. This one is our favorite! It allows for interaction between the couple and their guests! Wedding Dollar dance alternatives You may want to employ one of these alternatives if you like the idea of a dollar dance, but feel uncomfortable about your guests giving you money. 1. Well Wishing Dance. Place small pieces of paper on tables with instructions for your guests to write down their thoughts and wishes for the bride and groom. Have your guests pin these wishes to you and your groom instead of money. 2. Have a money or well wishing tree. Place a box or fabric covered board near your guest book. Have your guests stick well wishes or money there and eliminate a dance altogether. 3. Guess Who Has The Gift Dance. This is a really cute idea that we came up with for a couple not too long ago. It was a hit. Do not give your bride and groom gifts to each other before the wedding. Instead, give them to your maid of honor and best man. Have them secretly pick out two guests to hold onto them. Continue with the #2 wedding dollar dance example. Have the DJ or band announce that a special dance is about to take place and that all guests should line up to dance and give well wishes to the bride and groom. Have him/her also mention that somewhere in the line is the bride and groom’s gifts to each other. You and the groom are then required to ask each guest “Do you have my gift?” during your dance until you are left dancing with the person who is holding your gifts from each other. You can then open them and share that moment with all of your guests. Hope this wedding dollar dance information helps you decide what is right for your wedding reception. Whatever you choose, have fun with it! For more great wedding dance and wedding planning ideas visit Wedding Dollar Dance at Wedding Planning Resource.

Taking Home Staging to the Next Level Lifestyle Merchandising

Did you know that home staging is all about “lifestyle merchandising”? Yes, when you are selling your home, you are actually merchandising a lifestyle to potential buyers.Recently I graduated from an advanced staging course given by Matthew Finlason, host of HGTV’s “The Stagers”. It was an intense, two-day course attended by only a handful of New York City area home stagers.These are the principles that were taught during the course:• Casting a “wide net” with staging in order to attract the broad range of buyers is a thing of the past.• Crafting a “perfect lure” to attract the right buyer with staging represents a paradigm shift.• While it’s fine to neutralize a home of its occupant’s personality, don’t sterilize it.• Home staging is now known as Target Staging. Target staging involves learning about who the specific buyer or buyers might be, and creating a design plan to appeal to that buyer or buyers.• Before a home stager stages, it’s important for her/him to first learn the demographics of the most likely potential buyer (age, income, gender, marital status, education, etc.).• It’s also important to focus on the psychographics of the buyer (the industry they’re in, their leisure time activities and interests, their home style or aesthetic preferences, the profile of retailers in the area which will be an indicator of the profile of the residents,).• One should stage this buyer’s dream house with colors, shapes, textures, objects and artwork that will make them emotionally connect with the space. For example, if the profile of the buyer is a single male who works on Wall Street, then the space should be staged to reflect the lifestyle and interests of that buyer profile.• One should stage in order to “tell stories” based upon the buyer’s profile. For example, if the likely buyer is a female working in the fashion district, then set up a desk with books on fashion and sketches of clothing.• Staging is “lifestyle merchandising” and “dialing in the buyer”.• One should stage to create a life that buyers can aspire to and relate to. Most people want to buy a home to up their lifestyle, so you need to create a lifestyle that these buyers want.• One should stage so that your company aesthetic shines through but that not every staging looks like every other staging one does or other stagers do.© Copyright 2011 Designed to Appeal, LLC.
