Cooking 101: The Definitive Interactive Cooking Program Feature

Would you like to attend cooking class without ever leaving the comfort of your own kitchen?
It's possible with the help of Cooking 101, the ultimate interactive cooking program. Now, you can broaden your culinary horizons with the able assistance of veteran Chef Jean-Pierre, founder of the highly decorated Left Bank Restaurant which has been repeatedly hornored by Gourmet Magazine, Bon Appetit, Conde Nast and Travel & Leisure over the last two decades.
Who better to help you hone your cooking skills than the culinary guru who's been recruited for appearances by the Today Show, Larry King Live, and Crook & Chase? In addition to his high profile as a celebrity chef, Chef Jean-Pierre also created Chef Jean-Pierre's Cooking School in 1997 where he's since instructed more than 14,000 people.
Thanks to the debut of Cooking 101, cooking novices can now learn the tricks of the trade firsthand from Chef Jean-Pierre. Whether your goal is to simply become familiar with the basics of cooking or to create epicurean breakfasts, lunches and dinners, Cooking 101 has something for everyone.
The interactive cooking program comes complete with more than 50 mouthwatering recipes including Roasted Filet Mignon Carmelized Onions & Blue Cheese, Shrimp & Lemon Orzo, Raspberry & White Chocolate Creme Brulee and more. Unlike other cookbooks that leave readers wondering what their finished product will look like, Chef Jean-Pierre's gourmet guide has stunning visuals of each prepared dish in living color.
In addition to the recipes, the first part of Chef Jean-Pierre's manual gives a detailed instructional covering just about every spectrum -- from tools to techniques. Just as one might expect from a cooking class, he delves into herbs, spices, varieties of potatoes, beans, grains and cheeses, and much more. There are also in-depth lessons on utensils, pots and pans and knives to name a few.
But it's the cookbook's companion that makes Chef Jean-Pierre's so innovative. Accompanying the cookbook is a five-disk DVD set featuring Chef Jean-Pierre. Instead of attending the popular five day class, you can bring Chef Jean-Pierre into your own home and learn from the master at your convenience.
Much more than a run-of-the-mill cookbook, Chef Jean-Pierre's Cooking 101 transforms its pupils from amateurs to aficionados in a matter of days. With this accomplished chef at the helm, you'll not only learn your way around the kitchen with finesse, you'll develop a passion for preparing the kind of world-class meals that'll leave your palate pleading for more.

Iron Shirt Chi Kung

Iron Shirt Chi Kung Feature

An introduction to the ancient Kung Fu practice designed to unify physical, mental, and spiritual health

• Describes the unique Iron Shirt air-packing techniques that protect vital organs from injuries

• Explains the rooting practice exercises necessary to stabilize and center oneself

• Includes guidelines for building an Iron Shirt Chi Kung daily practice

Long before the advent of firearms, Iron Shirt Chi Kung, a form of Kung Fu, built powerful bodies able to withstand hand-to-hand combat. Even then, however, martial use was only one aspect of Iron Shirt Chi Kung, and today its other aspects remain vitally significant for anyone seeking better health, a sound mind, and spiritual growth.

In Iron Shirt Chi Kung Master Mantak Chia introduces this ancient practice that strengthens the internal organs, establishes roots to the earth’s energy, and unifies physical, mental, and spiritual health. Through a unique system of breathing exercises, he demonstrates how to permanently pack concentrated air into the connective tissues (the fasciae) surrounding vital organs, making them nearly impervious to injuries--a great benefit to athletes and other performers. He shows readers how once they root themselves in the earth they can direct its gravitational and healing power throughout their bone structure. Additionally, Master Chia presents postural forms, muscle-tendon meridians, and guidelines for developing a daily practice routine. After becoming rooted and responsive, practitioners of Iron Shirt Chi Kung can then focus on higher spiritual work.

Aurora Leigh (Oxford World's Classics) Feature

Aurora Leigh, now available in the first critically edited and fully annotated edition for almost a century, is the foremost example of the mid-nineteenth century poem of contemporary life. It is an amazing verse novel which provides a panoramic view of the early Victorian age in London. The dominant presence in the work however, is the narrator Aurora Leigh, as she develops her ideas on art, love, God, the "Woman Question", and society.
