I am impressed by the number of good cookbooks I have seen by this publisher. This is yet another one based on fast, not too complicated recipes. The section on breakfast includes vegan tofu scramble breakfast burrito, breakfast bacon sausage patties and a strawberry banana smoothie. Next come soups and salads, for example, curry chicken salad, lemon quinoa vegetable salad and coconut green curry soup with beef and vegetables. Are you hungry yet?
The chapter on vegetable mains has everything from a Mexican corn tortilla and beans casserole to vegan coconut and mushroom risotto. There are seafood mains like Parmesan and tomato foil baked halibut and pesto baked salmon with vegetables. For poultry think turkey Parmesan meatballs, loaded chicken and black bean nachos and orange chicken stir fry. Meat recipes include barbecue meatloaf muffins and one dish pepper steak skillet. The book even has recipes for deeserts and snacks.
This cookbook includes so many recipes and they all look very easy for those who are not kitchen whizzes. I recommend this one. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title in exchange for an honest review.
From the publisher:
Delicious recipes like:
Sheet Pan Beef and Broccoli
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the steak, broccoli, tamari, olive oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine, making sure that all the beef and broccoli get coated with the sauce.
3. Put the beef and broccoli onto the sheet pan. Use a spoon to spread the ingredients into a flat layer. Bake the mixture for 15 minutes, or until the meat has cooked through and the vegetables have started to brown.
4. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and top the mixture with the scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.

This quick and easy Asian-inspired dish is made using the sheet pan method. The ingredients get coated with the sweet and spicy homemade sauce, and then baked until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are still crisp. I like to serve this dish over cooked white or brown rice.

![Women in Sunlight: A Novel by [Mayes, Frances]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41a0A5H5E%2BL._SY346_.jpg)
Okay, so two books from long running mystery series are listed first. Next is phenom Sally rooney’s first novel. I included Judith Kerr’s children’s book because it is an important one and it seems appropriate to have something for families who have been thinking about the 75th anniversary of the freeing at Auschwitz. Women in Sunlight is by Frances Mayes who can definitely write about Italy.
This title offers elementary school aged readers an historical perspective on navigation along with fun navigation activities. The book starts with a timeline; this begins 70,000 years ago and moves to modern technology and the electric car. We go on from there with chapters on topics including early navigators, the sun and stars, and more ending with a chapter on space.
This cookbook that is aimed towards kids may also be welcomed by adults. If you would like to create pizza at home, this is a great resource. The book is divided into chapters on the three components of pizza; there are doughs, sauces and toppings. Following these is a section on old school classics and then one on new school classics. Last there is a chapter called just for fun.
I previously reviewed Volume 1 in this series. I feel much the same about Volume 2. This book provides a fun source for asking yourself questions or for setting up games with others either as individuals or teams. Some pub quiz venues may also enjoy having this source of so many questions on so many subjects.
This silly story is geared toward children ages 4 to 8. I think that it will appeal most to the younger listeners.
Just as I was thinking about sitting down to review this book, my phone rang. Five minutes later it rang again and then again. So, as you can see, I needed to focus again before returning to this review. 5 Minute Focus offers ways to do just that. The book describes a number of situations and offers advice for how to mange them in a mindful manner. A few examples with catchy titles include Case of the Mondays, Savor Every Bite, Avoid the Afternoon Crash, Anxious Much? and A Remedy for Overwhelm. For each there is something for the realer to try. The suggestions are practical and designed to be accomplished within five minutes. For example, Sleep for Focus, suggests doing a body scan, something that mindfulness practitioners may already be aware of.
This expansive resource is available at no charge at most on-line bookstores. It includes extensive listings of titles that are coming out in all categories along with a number of book excerpts. A few fiction titles that are forthcoming are those authored by David Nicholls, Katherine Reay, Susan Wiggs, Barbara Delinsky, Beatriz Williams, Alexander McCall Smith and Scott Turow. There are books forthcoming fro Anne Tyler, Gail Godwin, and more.
Joyce's mystery and fiction book reviews with some non-fiction too!
