About this listen
So, really? You don't know:
- The difference between wine, brandy, and liqueur?
- Which is better for you, health-wise - saturated or unsaturated fat?
- What you are eating if you bite into a Cranshaw or a Persian?
No problem! We'll have you up and running, foodwise, in no time.
So, how do we know all this stuff? Well, we were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone - a student, game show contestant, or the wannabe foodie who lives in all of us.
Knowledge Blaster!: Guide to Food and Drink provides a cornucopia of cooking advice, food-safety tips, mixed-drink trivia, and nutrition knowledge. You'll find the answers to your food and drink questions in this book:
- Why is a baker's dozen different from a regular dozen?
- What spice is made from the ground outer coating of nutmeg?
- How can you make scrambled eggs light and fluffy?
- What is the best district in the world for red wine?
- What fluffy dish takes its name from the French for "breath"?
Did you answer all the questions correctly? No? Well, then....
The Knowledge Blaster! series compresses a great mountain of available information into easily digestible morsels. You'll find the books are patterned in an efficient question-and-answer mode, stressing simplicity, brevity, and clarity.
You can use this reference work as a launch pad to propel yourself into more in-depth studies. However, if you find this little study guide provides all the information you need, then consider your knowledge...
Blasted!
We wish you the best of luck in your quest for knowledge in this fascinating subject. 'Bye now. And, oh yes, buy now!
Scroll up now and buy now to start your journey to culinary perfection right away!

High in calories and cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems - from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.

High in calories and cholesterol, animal fats and proteins too often leave you hungry and lead to overeating and weight gain. They are often the root causes of a host of avoidable health problems - from indigestion, ulcers, and constipation to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates like whole grains, legumes, tubers, and other starches provide your body with essential proteins and nutrients that satisfy the appetite while simultaneously fighting illness.

In Body Love, Kelly LeVeque shared her popular science-based “it’s-not-a-diet” approach to clean eating, weight loss, and wellness, centered on the Fab Four - protein, fat, fiber, and greens. As Kelly (and modern science) has shown, eating the Fab Four balances blood sugar, helps you eat and feel full, and naturally turns off your hunger hormones. Now, Kelly is back with exactly what her fans want: an action plan for adopting the Fab Four lifestyle. Kelly knows that women aren’t all alike.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.
