EATING IN: The Aspiring Chef Learns to Cook You have a place to cook, a real kitchen or a spot in the dorm, some utensils and the motivation to eat in instead of out. Not only will you save tons of money, you'll also have fun developing cooking skills. Being in charge of your own food preparation is a challenging experience but completely worthwhile. In this little book you'll find descriptions of methods and straightforward recipes for breakfasts, veggies and fruit, salads, sauces and soups, entrées, sandwiches and snacks, and sweet things. Some recipes come with tips to make shopping, storing and prepping easier. Some have instructions on how to achieve a complete meal. A few recipes are built upon prepared foods easily found in food markets. But do read their labels to check out fats and sodium levels! All recipes carry both imperial and metric measurements. Please read the page on imperial to metric equivalents and conversions.Some recipes are suitable for bare-bones cooking facilities. They are labeled as SKILLET/El.WOK/FRYPAN, meaning that the dish can be prepared using either a stove or an electric wok or frypan. Other pages list essential tools for both bare bones and real kitchens.The main advice this book offers the beginning cook is to be not afraid. Accidents happen. Toast burns, meat dries out, potato water overflows and so on. But when you are learning to feed yourself, what's the panic? Just remember to keep milk, ice cream, fruit and cereal boxes on hand. Together they make a meal and you won't starve.

Catherine's Christmas is set in the small but bustling town of Inverness, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, circa 1920. The events in the story are true, as recalled and told to the author by her mother Catherine Ann MacLellan (Forsyth). She was born in Inverness in the year 1913, to Neil and Rachel (MacDonald) MacLellan. However, events of the story are not in chronological order; rather, the author has taken the liberty to interweave them wherever she chose.In the late 19th century, many people emigrated from Scotland, to Inverness and other areas of Cape Breton, drawn to the employment offered by the coal mines dotted over the island. They brought the Gaelic language with them and it is still alive and spoken by many, at the writing of this story. Name places on Cape Breton echo those of home areas left behind by the settlers. They also brought with them, a generous spirit, unique sense of humor, love of dance, music and tradition which helped mold the island into its current shape.This children's story was to capture a little of Catherine and a little of the flavor of her era so they could both become known and appreciated by her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The innocence and simple life of these times deserve to be remembered.
