Live What You Love

Live What You Love: notes from an unusual life (Sterling) has been touted by some as a dangerous book because of its potential to change the lives of those who read it. It encourages readers to live a more passionate life even if it means making unusual choices along the way. Readers are inspired to reflect upon their own dreams, ask themselves the tough questions, put together a plan, and then act upon it.

Cook What You Love Cook What You Love: Simple, Flavorful Recipes to Make Again and Again (Clarkson Potter) The Blanchards have always loved food because of the way it brings people together both in the kitchen and around the table. From celebration dinners to picnics on the beach to breakfast in bed, this book combines over a hundred of Bob and Melinda’s favorite recipes with stories about how their love for food seeps into every part of life. At Blanchard’s Restaurant and in Bob and Melinda’s home, it does not take a long, complex list of ingredients to make a great meal loaded with flavor. In fact, the easier the recipe is, the more likely you are to use it again and again. In Cook What You Love, new and old cooks alike will be inspired to bring friends and family together to create great food, great moments, and great memories of their own.

 

A Trip to the Beach

A Trip to the Beach (Clarkson Potter) chronicles Bob and Melinda’s adventures as they start a new life in Anguilla. The couple quickly realizes that living the simple life isn’t so simple. Adapting to quirky island customs, building a successful business and coping with the devastation of a major hurricane are just some of the challenges they face along the way. But with the hardships come blessings. Bob and Melinda meet island friends who quickly become family, discovering there’s so much more to Anguilla’s beauty than pristine beaches and glorious sunsets.
