Appointment in Samarra: Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 410min

The Mysterious Montague: A True Tale of Hollywood, Golf, and Armed Robbery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 509min
He was a 1930s golf legend and Hollywood trickster who adamantly refused to be photographed. He never played professionally, yet sports-writing legend Grantland Rice still heralded him as "the greatest golfer in the world". Then, in 1937, the secrets of John Montague's past were exposed - leading to a sensational trial that captivated the nation. John Montague was a boisterous enigma. He had a bagful of golf tricks, on and off the course. He could chip a ball across a room into a highball glass and knock a bird off a wire from 170 yards. And when the big man arrived in Hollywood in the early 1930s, he quickly became a celebrity among celebrities. He lived for a time with Oliver Hardy (whom he could lift, one-handed, onto the country club bar) and played golf with everyone from Howard Hughes and W. C. Fields to Babe Ruth and his close friend Bing Crosby, whom he famously beat while playing only with a rake, a shovel, and a bat. Yet strangely, Montague never entered a professional tournament, and in a town that thrived on publicity, he never allowed his image to be captured on film. The reasons became clear when a Time magazine photographer snapped his picture with a telephoto lens - and police in upstate New York quickly recognized Montague as a fugitive wanted for armed robbery. As Montague was indicted in the tiny upstate town of Jay, New York, hordes of national media descended and turned a star-studded legal carnival into the most talked about trial of its day - the trial of "the Mysterious Montague". From the glamour of 1930s Hollywood, to John Montague's extraordinary skill and triumphs on the golf course, to the shady world of Adirondack rumrunners and bootleggers, three-time New York Times best-selling author Leigh Montville captures a man and an era with extraordinary color, verve, and energy. The Mysterious Montagueis Leigh Montville's most entertaining achievement to date. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Hoye.

Arguably, this sweet treat has evolved to become one of the best offerings of Dutch cuisine. The dough that is used for this dish is made out of flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, yeast, and milk. The dough is then pressed with a hot iron to make sure that it is thin and crispy. Then caramel syrup is spread in between two layers of cooked dough to conjoin the two separate pieces together. Usually, one would place these cookies atop a cup of hot tea or coffee to let the steam heat up the caramel filling inside. What is the Dutch name for this sweet wafer?Cuba: Born in Havana, Cuba, this drink has grown to become one of the most sought-after alcoholic beverages in the world. At its core, it's defined to be a Cuban highball. This is a cocktail that only has five basic ingredients.

Cocktail Codex (eBook, ePUB)
From the authors of the bestselling and genre-defining cocktail book Death & Co, Cocktail Codex is a comprehensive primer on the craft of mixing drinks that employs the authors' unique "root cocktails" approach to give drink-makers of every level the tools to understand, execute, and improvise both classic and original cocktails. JAMES BEARD AWARD WINNER • WINNER OF THE TALES OF THE COCKTAIL SPIRITED AWARD® FOR BEST NEW COCKTAIL OR BARTENDING BOOK • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE "There are only six cocktails." So say Alex Day, Nick Fauchald, and David Kaplan, the visionaries behind the seminal craft cocktail bar Death & Co. In Cocktail Codex, these experts reveal for the first time their surprisingly simple approach to mastering cocktails: the "root recipes," six easily identifiable (and memorizable!) templates that encompass all cocktails: the old-fashioned, martini, daiquiri, sidecar, whisky highball, and flip. Once you understand the hows and whys of each "family," you'll understand why some cocktails work and others don't, when to shake and when to stir, what you can omit and what you can substitute when you're missing ingredients, why you like the drinks you do, and what sorts of drinks you should turn to-or invent-if you want to try something new. Praise for Cocktail Codex "Learn the template, and any cocktail you can think of is within reach."-Food & Wine "Too bad all college textbooks weren't this much fun."-Garden & Gun "A must for amateur and pro mixologists alike."-Chicago Tribune "If Dora the Explorer turned twenty-one, split herself into three people, and decided to write the Magna Carta of booze books, this would be the result. And, unlike every other book you'll read this year, Cocktail Codex is packed with actual knowledge you can use in the real world. Please, please, can Cinema Codex be next?"-Steven Soderbergh, filmmaker- Shop: buecher
