The Science of Simple, Healthier Desserts
“This is a great book for chemistry teachers to show real-life examples from the kitchen to support their lessons. Food Colouring Hacks” was my favourite chapter. It shows a fun way to extract brilliant coloured hues in easy steps…” —Doris-Maria Heilmann, CEO of 111Publishing
The book is a beautiful combination of science and the art of baking and therefore truly interdisciplinary. This is a new and innovative approach that deserves a wide readership among those with a passion for baking and with a basic science background.” —Dr. Roland Treu, Professor of Biology at Athabasca University
Summary
A book of over 50 easy-to-follow, completely vegan recipes to help people who are new to dessert preparation get a grasp on the basics. This includes cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even homemade icing. Because baking is just as much a science as an art, the book also includes short, digestible scientific tidbits explaining the chemistry of the recipes and the ingredients, and why they react the way that they do.
The perfect book for novice bakers, families, or parents who want to get their kids into STEM and health-conscious treats from a young age. Enjoy the taste tests!
I Am the Ocean
Memoir of a solo female traveller.
“The narration is so good that I actually felt that I was traveling with the author. After reading the book, I was bitten by the travel bug and I am inspired to take up a solo trip myself” —My Wander Girl Life
“I Am the Ocean would make a great nonfiction beach read. Personally, I love Samita Sarkar’s writing voice and want to read everything she has written.” —Savvy Working Gal
“There was a time, years ago, when looking for an adventure wasn’t so out of the ordinary. I’m thinking of the ‘60s/’70s, when those seeking adventure would hitchhike their way across the country in search of enlightenment, in double slugbug VW’s…I really appreciate her views and the free-spirit she has, grounded within her spiritual beliefs.” —Chick Lit Central
Synopsis
Samita Sarkar thought she was destined to spend her entire life running.
Never giving herself a moment’s rest, she studied hard and graduated from university with top grades, and then promptly began a tireless job search. But although she thought that she had done everything by the book, life still hadn’t given her any answers. She knew that God had a plan, but what was it?
Stricken with anxiety while facing midsummer heat and sizable life decisions, the thrifty twenty-something Canadian—who had never before travelled for travel’s sake—purchased a discount bus ticket for what she thought would be a few weeks of reprieve in The United States. Embarking on her journey with nothing but a small suitcase, a broken handbag, a killer manicure and a copy of “The Bhagavad Gita,” Samita would spend her days wandering streets and beaches, and her nights in jostling buses or on cramped couches. Marvelling at the beauty around her, Samita finally discovered what the world has to offer to those who stop running, while learning lessons that would set the course of the rest of her life.
Make Life Successful
We all wish to be happy. Unfortunately, we are not aware of the platform of happiness. That platform of happiness is pure consciousness, or Krishna consciousness. By performing devotional service, or bhakti yoga, we can be on the transcendental platform of Krishna consciousness (infinite truth, knowledge and bliss), and make our life successful.
As one gets the warmth of the sun when one goes outside, so does a devotee get the benediction of Krishna when he approaches Him.
K Is for Krishna
This spiritual children’s book is for you, the parent, to read together with your child. Your child will learn the alphabet while they also learn about Lord Krishna.
You will enjoy quotes from ancient sacred philosophical texts, namely The Bhagavad Gita. This book can be shared with your child through the years together.
May you always keep Krishna in the center of your life.
