En-Lovely

En-Lovely: Victory over Weaknesses presents a portrait of the workings of a beautiful mind. Suffering becomes meaningful when we are able to respond to it with love and compassion. We can never be reduced to nothing when we do not lose the freedom to choose beauty in any circumstance. Joy is found in a beautiful mind that chooses to extract value from each incident; it is found abundantly in simple things. When we choose to cause love to be one with all things, love becomes our experience. En-Lovely is a collection of articles seeking to inspire you to view life through a lens of pure love. Inspired by stories of the excellence of the human spirit and humbled by their resilience, Seko Ong shares how, by simply shifting our mind-sets, we can reveal the four virtues of the Buddha true self, happiness, purity, and eternity. Every essay is an expression of victory over weaknesses, written through the lens of gratitude. En-Lovely takes you on a journey to train your mind to tell all stories from the bright side. En-Lovely is to be one with love, where love is you and you are love. When you are love, everything that flows through you becomes lovely.

Graze

An accessible, mouthwatering collection of more than 80 recipes for small bites, tapas, and charcuterie spreads “Graze is the most useful cookbook I’ve seen in a long time. It’s perfect for the way we eat now: simple food, big platters, big flavors.”—Diana Henry, author of Simple: Effortless Food, Big Flavours Grazing is an enchanting way to eat. It means skipping from dish to dish, tasting different things without committing to a single one. It’s about creating multiple dishes that work together as a meal, that all share a theme, an aesthetic. When she entertains, or even pulls together a quick dinner for just two, food stylist Suzanne Lenzer enjoys this tapas-style of eating—and with her guidance, you can too. In Graze, chapters are organized by level of involvement, from simply slicing veggies (“Mostly Chopping”) to cooking up lavish spreads (“Worth the Effort”). Whip up fast and easy Prosciutto, Asparagus, and Arugula Rolls and Three-Tomato Panzanella on a busy weeknight or indulge in Flaky Cheddar Biscuits with Heirloom Tomatoes and Peaches, Shredded Potato Cakes with Ramps, and Lemon-Tarragon Chicken Skewers on the weekend. And to finish off the meal, try desserts like Brown Butter Brownies and Lemon-Lavender Posset. Making delicious, beautiful dishes and snacks for grazing, whether for two or twelve, doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming.
