LeRoy shares the tenets of barbecue with illustrations, step-by-step photography, and nearly 100 delicious recipes for mains, sides, and desserts that run the gamut from bacon ribs to smoked banana pudding. Barbecue is not a set menu; it's a cooking method-and nobody knows this better than Austin-based chef Evan LeRoy. As the co-owner, pitmaster, and mastermind chef at LeRoy and Lewis, one of the most popular and acclaimed BBQ joints in Texas-not an easy feat-LeRoy has reinvigorated the old style and staked his claim as a modern master of the barbecue game.

The methods he outlines can be applied to any cut of any meat (including lamb, chicken, beef, goat, and pork), any type of produce (avocados, cauliflower, squash, and more), and almost any cuisine. And LeRoy's techniques work on all kinds of outdoor cookers: offset smoker, pellet smoker, a kamado grill, or an old-fashioned Weber kettle grill, so anyone will be able to apply his recipes and recommendations to their setup.

In her debut cookbook Filipinx, acclaimed and award-winning chef Angela Dimayuga shares her passion for Filipino food with home cooks, cowritten with food writer Ligaya Mishan. Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes—many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in Northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City—learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian American cuisine—then returned to her roots, discovering in her family’s home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique she’d found in fine dining. In this book, Dimayuga puts a fresh spin on classics: adobo, perhaps the Filipino dish best known outside the Philippines, is traditionally built on a trinity of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic—all pantry staples—but add coconut milk, vinegar, and oil, and it turns lush and silky; ribeye steaks bring extra richness to bistek, gilded with butter and a bright splash of lemon and orange juice. These are the punches of flavor and inspired recipes that home cooks have been longing for. You’ll find recipes such as: Coconut Milk Chicken Adobo Oxtail Peanut Stew Sinigang: Sour Tamarind Broth with Pork and Vegetables Filipino Spaghetti Homemade Longganisa A modern, welcoming resource for this essential cuisine, Filipinx shares exciting and approachable recipes everyone will wholeheartedly embrace in their own kitchens. “The recipes are inviting and easy to follow, while the narrative merits a book unto itself. The whole is a dinner party, full of delicious food, interesting people, and compelling stories that describe a proud, diverse, and inclusive community. This is a book you’ll want to devour whole.” —Anita Lo, Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo Includes Color Photographs

THE LOST SKILLS OF INDEPENDENCE Practical Wisdom for Thinking Clearly, Living Capably, and Becoming More Self-Reliant What would happen if the conveniences you depend on suddenly disappeared? Could you cook a simple meal, solve an unexpected problem, manage your money, repair something that broke, communicate through a difficult situation, or remain calm when there was no one available to tell you what to do? In a world designed to make life easier, many essential skills have quietly disappeared from everyday life. We have gained convenience-but sometimes at the cost of confidence, practical knowledge, patience, and self-reliance. The Lost Skills of Independence is a practical guide to rebuilding those abilities. This book explores the everyday skills that help ordinary people become more capable, resourceful, confident, and prepared. Rather than encouraging isolation or rejecting modern technology, it shows you how to use modern conveniences without becoming completely dependent on them. Inside, you will discover how to: - Think critically and make decisions without constantly seeking approval - Develop practical problem-solving skills for everyday challenges - Build confidence by learning useful hands-on skills - Cook, organize, clean, and manage your home more effectively - Understand money, create better spending habits, and live within your means - Develop the discipline of saving and delayed gratification - Repair, maintain, and care for what you already own - Communicate clearly and handle disagreements constructively - Take responsibility for your choices without falling into helplessness - Manage your time and protect your attention from constant digital distraction - Become comfortable navigating situations without depending entirely on technology - Build emotional resilience and greater personal responsibility - Teach children practical skills that prepare them for real life - Prepare intelligently for unexpected situations without living in fear - Learn how to ask for help while still developing your own capabilities >Most importantly, this book addresses a problem many people experience without recognizing it: knowing how to use things is not the same as knowing how to do things. Independence is not about doing everything alone. It is about developing enough knowledge, judgment, confidence, and practical ability to participate actively in your own life. Whether you are a young adult learning to stand on your own, a parent who wants to raise capable children, or simply someone who wants to become more resourceful, The Lost Skills of Independence offers practical lessons you can begin applying immediately. You don't need to become an expert overnight. You simply need to start rebuilding the skills that make you capable. Learn. Practice. Solve. Adapt. Become independent.
