  • Be Ready When the Luck Happens

    Be Ready When the Luck Happens EN

    Ina Garten · 2024

    De momento solo tenemos la sinopsis en inglés.

    #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her long-awaited memoir, Ina Garten—aka the Barefoot Contessa, author of thirteen bestselling cookbooks, beloved Food Network personality, Instagram sensation, and cultural icon—shares her personal story with readers hungry for a seat at her table. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review , Time, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Town & Country Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. Ina’s gift is to make everything look easy, yet all her accomplishments have been the result of hard work, audacious choices, and exquisite attention to detail. In her unmistakable voice (no one tells a story like Ina), she brings her past and her process to life in a high-spirited and no-holds-barred memoir that chronicles decades of personal challenges, adventures (and misadventures) and unexpected career twists, all delivered with her signature combination of playfulness and purpose. From a difficult childhood to meeting the love of her life, Jeffrey, and marrying him while still in college, from a boring bureaucratic job in Washington, D.C., to answering an ad for a specialty food store in the Hamptons, from the owner of one Barefoot Contessa shop to author of bestselling cookbooks and celebrated television host, Ina has blazed her own trail and, in the meantime, taught millions of people how to cook and entertain. Now, she invites them to come closer to experience her story in vivid detail and to share the important life lessons she learned along the way: do what you love because if you love it you’ll be really good at it, swing for the fences, and always Be Ready When the Luck Happens .

  • Eat, pray, love : one woman's search for everything across Italy, India, and Indonesia

    Come, reza, ama

    Elizabeth Gilbert · 2001

    Elizabeth Gilbert tiene mucho m s que contar despu s de este gran xito. Descubre c mo explotar tu creatividad con su ltimo libro Libera tu magia . Despu s de un divorcio traum tico seguido de un desenga o amoroso y en plena crisis emocional y espiritual, Elizabeth Gilbert decide empezar de nuevo y emprende un largo viaje que la llevar sucesivamente a Italia, la India e Indonesia, tres escalas geogr ficas que se corresponden con otras tantas etapas de b squeda interior. L cida y valiente novela autobiogr fica que ha sido un gran xito de ventas desde su publicaci n en Estados Unidos, Come, reza, ama trata de lo que ocurre cuando decidimos ser art fices de nuestra felicidad y dejamos de intentar vivir seg n los modelos que nos imponen. Si hoy en d a se est publicando literatura m s agradable que la de Gilbert, nosotros no la hemos encontrado. Su prosa mezcla de inteligencia, ingenio y exuberancia coloquial se acerca a lo irresistible y hace que el lector se sienta encantado de unirse al grupo de amigos y devotos que ya tienen el placer de conocerla The New York Times Book Review ENGLISH DESCRIPTION At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.'" -The New Yorker "Gilbert's prose is fueled by a mix of intelligence, wit and colloquial exuberance that is close to irresistible." -The New York Times Book Review "A meditation on love in its many forms--love of food, language, humanity, God, and most meaningful for Gilbert, love of self." -Los Angeles Times

  • Heartburn

    Heartburn

    Nora Ephron · 1983

    De momento solo tenemos la sinopsis en inglés.

    Is it possible to write a sidesplitting novel about the breakup of the perfect marriage? If the writer is Nora Ephron, the answer is a resounding yes. For in this inspired confection of adultery, revenge, group therapy, and pot roast, the creator of *Sleepless in Seattle* reminds us that comedy depends on anguish as surely as a proper gravy depends on flour and butter. Seven months into her pregnancy, Rachel Samstat discovers that her husband, Mark, is in love with another woman. The fact that the other woman has "a neck as long as an arm and a nose as long as a thumb and you should see her legs" is no consolation. Food sometimes is, though, since Rachel writes cookbooks for a living. And in between trying to win Mark back and loudly wishing him dead, Ephron's irrepressible heroine offers some of her favorite recipes. *Heartburn* is a sinfully delicious novel, as soul-satisfying as mashed potatoes and as airy as a perfect soufflé.

  • Crying in H Mart

    Lágrimas en H Mart

    Michelle Zauner · 2020

    DE LA LÍDER DE LA BANDA INDIE POP JAPANESE BREAKFAST, UNA INOLVIDABLE HISTORIA SOBRE LA FAMILIA, LA COMIDA, EL DOLOR Y EL AMOR «Desde que mi madre murió, lloro en H Mart. H Mart es una cadena de supermercados especializada en comida asiática. La H es por han ah reum, una frase en coreano que podría traducirse como ‘un brazo lleno de comestibles’. Mi madre expresaba su amor por medio de la comida. Por muy crítica o cruel que pudiera parecer —no dejaba de presionarme para que colmara sus utópicas expectativas—, yo siempre sentía que su afecto irradiaba de los platos que me preparaba exactamente como a mí me gustaban. Y si bien apenas hablo coreano, cuando estoy en H Mart es como si lo dominara. Acaricio los productos y digo los nombres en voz alta: melón chamoe, danmuji. Recuerdo las chucherías que mi madre me contaba que comía cuando era niña y el empeño que ponía yo en intentar imaginarla a mi edad. Quería que me gustaran todas las cosas que le gustaban a ella, quería ser ella». La voz de Zauner, enérgica y directa, lírica y sincera, suena tan viva sobre el escenario como en cada una de estas páginas. Lágrimas en H Mart, un libro para disfrutar, compartir y releer, es su exquisito debut como escritora.

  • Lessons in Chemistry

    Lecciones de Química / Lessons in Chemistry

    Bonnie Garmus · 2022

    Entre los 100 libros más notables del 2022, de acuerdo con The New York Times. Entre los mejores libros del año de acuerdo a Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Newsweek, Bookpage, Kirkus Para Elizabeth Zott, la cocina es química y la química es vida. Conoce a esta mujer inconformista e irresistible y atrévete a cambiar el mundo. Elizabeth Zott es madre soltera y renuente estrella del programa de cocina de televisión más seguido de Estados Unidos. El enfoque inusual de Elizabeth para cocinar, combinar una cucharada de ácido acético con una pizca de cloruro de sodio, resulta revolucionario. Sin embargo, a medida que su éxito aumenta lo hacen también sus enemigos, porque Elizabeth no sólo está enseñando a las mujeres a cocinar sino también desafiándolas a alterar el orden establecido. Lecciones de química es una novela original y adictiva que desentraña de manera inteligente y entretenida la espinosa cuestión de la igualdad de género, la necesidad de ser uno mismo y de por qué debemos negarnos a aceptar las limitaciones de los demás y tratar de imponer las nuestras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER Among the 100 Notable Books of 2022 according to The New York Times. A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Newsweek, Bookpage, Kirkus Meet Elizabeth Zott: a "formidable, unapologetic and inspiring" (PARADE) scientist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show in this novel that is "irresistible, satisfying and full of fuel. It reminds you that change takes time and always requires heat" (The New York Times Book Review). Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with--of all things--her mind. True chemistry results. But like science, life is unpredictable. Which is why a few years later Elizabeth Zott finds herself not only a single mother, but the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ("combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride") proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo. Laugh-out-loud funny, shrewdly observant, and studded with a dazzling cast of supporting characters, Lessons in Chemistry is as original and vibrant as its protagonist.
