Geoffroy Monde, Mathieu Burniat (illustrator)

An irreverent, darkly funny, feminist spin on the legend of King Arthur focusing on his runaway daughter, Ysabelle. Perfect for fans of Disenchantment.

King Arthur, Britain’s most legendary hero, is now an old drunkard who spends his days slouched on his throne. He owes his former glory to the magic sword Excalibur, which the wizard Merlin forged for him in order to slay the hordes of demons who came to invade the kingdom of Pendragon. That incredible weapon now collects dust—and suffers from a bad case of boredom.

Meanwhile, Arthur’s daughter, Princess Ysabelle, is wondering how to flee the marriage her father has arranged with the vile Baron Cumber. Desperate for something different and better, Ysabelle and her father’s sword join hands and set off on a quest to change their fates.

But although Ysabelle is brave, she’s never ventured outside before—and the real world is much harsher than life within the palace walls. In order to survive and accomplish her quest, she must rely on Excalibur, as her father did before her. But Excalibur’s intentions may not be as noble as they seem . . .

Fifteen families.
Four hundred years. The complex saga of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite in
America's history.

For decades, writers from Cleveland Amory to Joseph
Alsop to the editors of Politico have proclaimed the
diminishment of the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, who for generations were the
dominant socio-cultural-political force in America. While the WASP elite has,
in the last half century, indeed drifted from American centrality to the
periphery, its relevance and impact remain, as Michael Gross reveals in his
compelling chronicle.

From Colonial America's founding settlements through
the Gilded Age to the present day, Gross traces the complex legacy of American WASPs--their
profound accomplishments and egregious failures--through the lives of fifteen
influential individuals and their very privileged, sometimes intermarried
families. As the Bradford, Randolph, Morris, Biddle, Sanford, Peabody and
Whitney clans progress, prosper and periodically stumble, defining aspects in
the four-century sweep of American history emerge: our wide, oft-contentious
religious diversity; the deep scars of slavery, genocide, and intolerance; the
creation and sometime mis-use of astonishing economic and political power; an
enduring belief in the future; an instinct to offset inequity with
philanthropy; an equal capacity for irresponsible, sometimes wanton, behavior.

"American society was supposed to be different,"
writes Gross, "but for most of our history we have had a patriciate, an
aristocracy, a hereditary oligarchic upper class, who initiated the American
national experiment." In previous acclaimed books such as 740 Park and Rogues'
Gallery, Gross has explored elite culture in microcosm; expanding the
canvas, Flight of the WASP chronicles it across four centuries
and fifteen generations in an ambitious and consequential contribution to
American history.

A complete baking course from the world-renowned professional culinary school École Ferrandi, dubbed the “Harvard of gastronomy” by Le Monde newspaper.

From crunchy baguettes to fig bread, and from traditional brioches to trendy cruffins, this comprehensive volume teaches aspiring bakers how to master the art of the French boulangerie. This new cookbook focuses on bread and viennoiserie, the category of French baked goods traditionally enjoyed for breakfast (like croissants and pains au chocolat); it is a perfect complement to Ferrandi’s bestselling French Pâtisserie, which covers baked desserts. Here, the culinary school’s team of experienced chef instructors provides more than 40 techniques, explained in 220 step-by-step instructions—from making your own poolish or levain to kneading, shaping, and scoring various types of loaves, and from laminating butter to braiding brioches. Base recipes for doughs, fillings, and classic viennoiserie provide fundamental building blocks.

Organized into four categories—traditional breads, specialty breads, viennoiserie, and sandwiches—the 83 easy-to-follow recipes provide home chefs with sweet and savory options for breakfast or snacks—from country bread to grissini, pastrami bagels to croque-monsieurs, and kougelhopf to beignets. Select gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan recipes offer something for everyone. A general introduction explains the fundamentals of bread and viennoiserie making, including key ingredients, the importance of gluten, the steps of fermentation, and an informative glossary.

A gorgeous cookbook about living well the French way from the founders of the Cook’s Atelier, a cooking school in Burgundy, France

French at Heart shows how to create simple, joyous family meals around your own table, in whatever place you call home.

When mother and daughter duo Kendall Smith Franchini and Marjorie Taylor moved to Beaune in Burgundy, France, to open their now-incredibly popular cooking school the Cook’s Atelier, they learned that choosing to appreciate tiny moments more mindfully, like they saw the French do, really opened their hearts.

To them, being French at heart doesn’t mean you have to speak French or live in France; it means slowing down enough to enjoy the little details of every day. Whether that’s preparing a meal for your family and taking the time to enjoy it together around the table or taking an extra moment to set the table with fresh flowers, curating your own joy is worth your time, and this cookbook offers plenty of ideas for ways you can adopt this particularly French habit in your own life.

These are classic recipes that will make you fall in love with things like Salade Niçoise, Duck Confit, and Tarte Tatin.

They are simple recipes, what Taylor and Smith Franchini often cook for their family after a long day, and reflect their take on familiar French favorites. They offer ways to adapt, improve, or simplify classic recipes, along with plenty of additional advice on how to serve a memorable cheese or charcuterie board, curate a French-inspired pantry, start your own kitchen garden, or get the most out of your local farmers’ market.

Creating meaningful moments around meals and sharing them turns out to be quite contagious—and exactly why people love coming to see Taylor and Smith Franchini at their cooking school. Cooking is about more than just the food, and while French at Heart has more than 100 go-to recipes, it is a cookbook for anyone who wants to discover those little details that make our time around the table even more special.

★ “French from the Market is a seductive cookbook that will convert readers into Francophiles and inspire almost everyone else to start composing menus and market lists.” ―Foreword Reviews, Starred Review

This newest cookbook from Hillary Davis focuses on the best of traditional French cooking―provincial cuisine based on produce and foods fresh from the market, simply prepared, and delicious for everyday dining at home.

Hillary Davis shows us in French from the Market that French food isn’t always haute cuisine. Traditional, daily French cooking is provincial and farm-driven. It is also an art, that uses the freshest and finest ingredients available from gardens, markets, and local vendors to put nourishing meals on the table. And, as Davis point out, French home cooking is not hard. The 100 plus recipes for starters, soups, salads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, and desserts in this cookbook, along with detailed instructions and tips, prove her right.

Embrace at-home cooking, French style, with these market-fresh recipes: Arugula Salad over Watermelon with Herbed Goat Cheese; Weeknight Halibut in Basil Cream with Cherry Tomatoes; Autumn Harvest Chicken with Grapes, Apples, and Figs; Broiled Lamb Chops with Warm Potato and Herb Salad; Fluffy Cauliflower and Cheese Quiche; and Fruity, Frosty Cantaloupe Sorbet.
