Make It Meatless
Recreate your favorite meaty meals with over 100 comforting plant-based recipes-featuring remarkably realistic meat substitutes
On TikTok, Shreya Walia's "Make it Meatless" series has garnered over 70 million views. In this original series, she shows viewers how to create hyper-realistic versions of popular meat-based dishes using plant-based ingredients, and they are-quite literally-"eating it up!"
Though these videos target plant-based eaters, even meat enthusiasts have admitted their eagerness to try Shreya's creations. Shreya uses new techniques and unique ingredients such as lion's mane, banana blossom, and king oyster mushrooms (no processed meat substitutes here!) to recreate not only the appearance but also the texture of fish, chicken, pork, and beef.
In Make it Meatless, Shreya will teach you how to do the same. Turn mushrooms into Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders, tofu into Buffalo Burgers, hearts of palm into Fish Tacos, and more. You won't miss the meat!
The Periodic Table
This is the periodic table as you've never seen it before. By presenting the elements in the order in which they were discovered, The Periodic Table also tells the story of chemistry.
Now iconic, the table was invented in the 1800s, long before anyone knew what was inside an atom. As more elements were found, the table got bigger. Some were discovered at risk to life and limb - for example, the hunt for the explosive element fluorine injured or even killed several scientists, who came to be known as the fluorine martyrs. Even now, the table is still growing as scientists push the boundaries and add to the 118 elements discovered so far. Some of the newest elements have been observed only as they briefly flicker into existence in the extreme conditions inside particle colliders and accelerators.
Gorgeous photographs show even the most familiar elements in a new light. Bold, clear infographics and artworks reveal aspects of their atomic structure that explain why they behave the way they do. For example, why is gold so malleable and diamond so incredibly hard? How can bismuth levitate, and why does cobalt make paint such a vivid blue?
If you want to unlock the secrets of matter itself, open The Periodic Table.
The Modern Pioneer Pantry
Fill your pantry, save money, and eat healthier using time-tested methods from Mary Bryant Shrader of the Mary's Nest YouTube channel.
There is no better way to preserve food than by using the methods our predecessors used. Canning, preserving, pickling, and drying have been used for centuries to make fresh food last longer and preserve garden harvests. Now, as grocery prices continue to rise, people have realized that these methods, when done properly and safely, can preserve fresh food for months and even years, which means less waste, a well-stocked pantry, and a bounty of delicious and healthy food.
Fans of Mary Bryant Shrader's YouTube channel and website love her positive, encouraging approach to teaching complex topics in a way that is both entertaining and richly informative. In her first book, The Modern Pioneer Cookbook, Mary shared tips for cooking traditional foods and using simple ingredients to make healthy meals more economically. Now, in The Modern Pioneer Pantry, Mary goes in depth and teaches you how to use water-bath canning, pressure canning, pickling, fermenting, freezing, dehydrating, and drying to preserve everything from fruits and vegetables to salads, jams and jellies, pickles, and so much more.
In addition to in-depth instruction for each method and over 115 recipes, you'll learn how to use Mary's unique Four Corners Pantry approach to ensure your home will stay well stocked and food will never go bad. You'll also learn how to source inexpensive ingredients, get the most out of your garden (or the produce section at your local supermarkets), and create a pantry that will be a source of pride and also nutrient-rich food for your family. Each chapter also includes a scannable QR code that links to instructional videos on the Mary's Nest website.
