Two Towns in Provence or The Glow

Two Towns in Provence

Author: M F K Fisher

Born in 1908, the author spent much of her time living and travelling around France. Here she gives us her uniquely perceptive and evocative portrait of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille, weaving together topography, history and personal memoirs with the sounds, smells and tastes of these two highly individual towns.

The Glow

Author: Christina Pirello

The first of its kind, Glow is more than a cookbook, more than a health-and-beauty guide - it is a path to a healthy lifestyle. Using the healing properties of whole foods, the author demonstrates how to use them in daily life to achieve an overall, healthy glow.

By combining ancient Eastern practices for health with more than 150 delicious, whole-food recipes, and healing face washes, massage oils, cleansers, scrubs and soaks, this book caters to a burgeoning market of consumers interested in whole foods and vegetarianism, but most of all to the readers interested in a more balanced, more natural way of life.

Author Biography: Christina Pirello is the author of Cooking the Whole Foods Way and Cook Your Way to the Life You Want. She's been teaching whole foods cooking classes and lecturing nationwide for about fifteen years. Her popular public television show, "Christina Cooks!", is in its third season. She and her husband publish a bi-monthly natural foods magazine, Christina Cooks. She has been featured in numerous newspaper and magazine articles.
