Antonio Carluccio began his culinary career over fifty years ago while a student in Vienna. When cooking for himself & his friends on a low budget, he learned the benefits of a basic larder
- well stocked with the essentials needed for his favourite Italian dishes
- & the importance of buying fresh foods wisely, cheaply & often. His skills were developed from a solid foundation: the years he had spent absorbing lessons from his mother while growing up in Italy. Antonio Carluccio's Simple Cooking is a coming together of all the 'secrets' that Antonio has learned over those fifty years. He is on a mission to instil in his readers the simple pleasure of cooking good fresh food, & to inspire novice cooks with complete confidence & a repertoire of reliable dishes for all occasions. The recipes included in the book are all very easy to cook, perfect for those with little experience or who are short of time. Throughout, Antonio has also included clever suggestions for how to 'upgrade' a basic recipe & there are also ingenious ideas for using up leftovers. These are Antonio's favourite recipes, illustrated with fabulous photography from Alistair Hendy, including several step-by-step sequences. Antonio Carluccio's Simple Cooking is a distillation of a lifetime of passion, full of Antonio's firm belief that cooking, whether for oneself or for family & friends, is one of the most loving of human skills.

The Greater Middle East poses major challenges for the United States. Yet despite decades of intense involvement in Middle Eastern affairs, most Americans still know little about the cultures of the region. ” Simple Gestures” describes one American`s efforts over forty years to better understand the society in the countries where she lived & worked: Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, & Afghanistan. In her multiple roles, Andrea Rugh came to know people from many walks of life. As a mother, she became friendly with local families. As the wife of a diplomat, who later became an ambassador to two countries, she came to know social elites in the Gulf. As a professional anthropologist, she spent time with people from parts of society who are usually inaccessible to foreigners. Culture is revealed most clearly in the way people interact with one another
- in the way they treat the poor, the elderly, & women; how they rear & educate their children; &, in the way they react to a foreigner suddenly thrust in their midst. Describing the satisfactions, sudden insights, challenges, & miscommunications that come from being immersed in a foreign culture, Rugh brings to life on the page the places & the people she met along the way.
