- The secret life of clams : the mysteries and magic of our favorite shellfish / by Fredericks, Anthony D.(CARDINAL)178995;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-278) and index.It breathes with tubes, it has no head or brain, it feeds through a filter, and it is the source of dozens of familiar proverbs ("happy as a clam!"). Clams, it turns out, have been worshipped (by the Moche people of ancient Peru), used as money (by the Algonquin Indians), and consumed by people for thousands of years. Yet The Secret Life of Clams is the first adult trade book to deal exclusively with this gastronomic treat that is more complex than its simple two shells might reveal. The Secret Life of Clams features compelling insights, captivating biology, wry observations, and up-to-the-minute natural history that will keep readers engaged and enthralled.- Subjects: Clams.; Clams; Shellfish.; Shellfish;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-255).Hal Roth s vivid, authentic tales of the sea have riveted readers around the world for forty years. Here, in one volume, are three of his classic sea stories, each one a white-knuckled, rail-down voyage into the unknown. A hard-working San Francisco husband and wife abandon their jobs, their security, and, some would say, their sanity to sail their 35-foot sloop to Japan and back the long way! Over the next nineteen months, they discover exotic islands, fascinating people, and a whole new way of life. A few years later these intrepid voyagers decide to try their luck against Cape Horn, but they will need a lot more than luck to survive the vicious storms, violent seas, and perilous shores of the world s most dangerous stretch of water. Then nine courageous sailors accept a challenge to do what has never been done before: to race alone, in a small sailboat, around the world nonstop. Only one will complete the race; seven will be forced to withdraw, and one will simply disappear.- Subjects: Sailing.; Sailboat racing.; Voyages and travels.;

It's OK, I make lamb (meat, poultry, fish, and shellfish) -- Why are we all lactose intolerant? Cheese and dairy -- Sweet endings: desserts."Seeking inspiration for her restaurants, Rose Previte traveled old spice trade routes, learning directly from cooks to expand her knowledge of the most delicious regional traditions. The word maydān, which can be loosely translated as "gathering place," has roots in a number of languages and has been crossing borders for generations, from Tangier to Tehran and from Batumi to Beirut--just like the food Previte cooks. The more than 100 recipes featured in this cookbook originate from her travels, the most popular dishes in the restaurants, as well as Previte's home kitchen, taking cues from the way her Lebanese family ate growing up, with boldly flavorful food that brings people together and is meant to be shared."--Back cover.- Subjects: Cookbooks.; Cooking, Lebanese.; Cooking, Middle Eastern.;
