04.24: Heidi Julavits
2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
Like many young people, Heidi Julavits kept a diary. Decades later, she found her old diaries in a storage bin and hoped to discover the early evidence of the person (and writer) she'd since become. "I want to good-naturedly laugh at this person. I want to but I can't. What she wanted then is scarcely different from what I want today." Thus was born a desire to try again. The dazzling result is The Folded Clock (Doubleday), in which the diary form becomes a meditation on time and self, youth and aging, betrayal and loyalty, faith and fate, marriage and family, desire and death, art and ambition.

Bill Carter began Boom, Bust, Boom (Schaffner) — an account of the all-pervasive presence of copper in our lives and its cost on our health, economy, and environment — with a simple personal discovery: the presence of arsenic in his own backyard garden. Carter connects the dots from his humble garden to the CEOs of the global copper industry, confronting a resource that is so vital yet which has the potential to cause horrendous and irrevocable damage to our planet and ourselves.

The only female swordfish boat captain in the country and a survivor of the real Perfect Storm, Linda Greenlaw was not a woman to shy away from a challenge. Then came 15-year-old Mariah — the greatest force of nature Greenlaw has ever encountered. In Lifesaving Lessons (Penguin), Greenlaw's chronicle of becoming a mother to a troubled teenage girl, fans will delight in her trademark candor and down-to-earth storytelling, seeing a side that's never been revealed before.
04.24: Deborah Madison & Diane Morgan
2013-03-15 00:36:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
In her latest cookbook, Vegetable Literacy: Cooking and Gardening with Twelve Families from the Edible Plant Kingdom, with Over 300 Deliciously Simple Recipes (Ten Speed), Deborah Madison, America's leading authority on vegetarian cooking and author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers, and herbs within the same botanical families and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in a new light. Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, Vegetable Literacy shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening, and botany. From Diane Morgan, the author of more than 10 cookbooks, comes Roots: The Definitive Compendium with More Than 225 Recipes (Chronicle), a comprehensive guide and collection of recipes using root vegetables. Discover the fascinating history and lore of 29 major roots, their nutritional content, how to buy and store them, and much more, from the familiar (beets, carrots, potatoes) to the unfamiliar (jicama, salsify, malanga) to the practically unheard of (cassava, galangal, crosnes). From Andean tubers and burdock to yams and yuca, Morgan's essential culinary encyclopedia lets dedicated home cooks achieve a new level of taste and sophistication in their everyday cooking. Please note that this event will take place at The Cleaners at Ace Hotel, 403 SW 10th Ave., Portland.
