Roasting in Hell's Kitchen: Temper Tantrums, F Words, and the Pursuit of Perfection

Gordon Ramsay

Harper Paperbacks, 2007

Change the way you view Gordon!
One of the many complaints about Gordon Ramsay is his harshness. Many people I know dislike him because of his treatment and apparent belittlement of his contestants on Hell's Kitchen. (Season 1 now available on DVD - Hell's Kitchen: Season 1) Read this book and you ...

The Body Sculpting Bible for Men, Revised Edition: The Way to Physical Perfection

James Villepigue, Hugo Rivera

Hatherleigh Press, 2006

Open.. only if you want to change your life
This is by far the best book that I have found on weight training. However, more than the detailed descriptions of over 80 exercises and the free abs dvd, the authors provide sound guidance on nutrition and supplements. I have been on this workout plan for all of ...

Heston Blumenthal: In Search of Perfection: Reinventing Kitchen Classics

Heston Blumenthal

Bloomsbury USA, 2006

A glorious culinary romp through one man's obsessive compulsive disorder
Yep, it's Alton Brown on steroids. I am a big fan of Alton Brown, and now I have found an even greater hero: Heston! Just one thing though - he scares the living daylights out of me - if he weren't in a kitchen the only safe place for him is a padded lockdown. ...

Has Anyone Played Tennis Better?
The jury seems already to be in; this guy plays the game of tennis better than anyone! He has all the tools, plus the ingenuity to use them creatively and instinctly. Plus, he's a good guy. Although at times this read was, as other reviewers have noted, to be just ...

As a Principal of an elementary school I gave this book to each of my teachers this Fall and we read the book together round-robin style. What an experience! Their enthusiasm has carried through the whole school as our students have all had discussions of the various ...

Hatherleigh Press, 2006

This workout = me 36 pounds lighter.
This workout is worth trying. I committed myself to doing the exercises for three months. It has now been four months and I have lost 36 pounds. I don't follow the eating plan they have, but I do think some aspects of it are good. My husband has followed the man's ...

OverSuccess: Healing the American Obsession With Wealth, Fame, Power, and Perfection

Jim Rubens

Greenleaf Book Group, 2008

At first glance...
At first glance I was expecting a read chalked full of opinion on the downturn of society and how we have all failed our children and forefathers. Instead, what I found was cohesive concept broken down into well researched science, sociology, psychology and ...

The Body Sculpting Bible for Abs: Women's Edition, Deluxe Edition: The Way to Physical Perfection (Includes ...

James Villepigue, Mike Mejia

Hatherleigh Press, 2007

Very informative and useful book
I can actually say this book taught me several workout routines and abdominal exercises that up until now I did not know existed. There are warm up exercises for the abs, medicine ball exercises for the abs, bench exercises for the abs, etc. The book is a very ...

Pictures of Perfection (Dalziel and Pascoe Mysteries)

Reginald Hill

Dell, 1995

Do exactly as I say and nobody gets hurt
This is my favorite mystery novel. Period. Seriously, just take my word for it. DO NOT read any reviews. DO NOT read the book jacket. DO NOT so much as glance at a blurb. It wouldn't be any fun if you knew anything (let alone everything) about what happens, right? ...

Further Adventures in Search of Perfection: Reinventing Kitchen Classics

Heston Blumenthal

Bloomsbury UK, 2009

Taking it to another level
This book does not have a plethora of recipes. What it does have is an amazing detail and technique to the recipes it does offer. Many of the recipes, broken down into steps are time consuming so if stretching your skills and mindset is not what you are after, ...
