Product Description
It is noted in the following pages how rarely English people on their travels penetrate where true Italian cookery may be tasted, wherefore it has seemed worth while to place within the reach of English housewives some Italian recipes which are especially fitted for the presentation of English fare to English palates under a different and not unappetising guise.

Most of them will be found simple and inexpensive, and special care has been taken to include those recipes which enable the less esteemed portions of meat and the cheaper vegetables and fish to be treated more elaborately than they have hitherto been treated by English cooks.

"Show me a pleasure like dinner, which comes every day and lasts an hour."
- Talleyrand circa 1901

Excerpt

Wednesday's luncheon was anticipated with some curiosity, or even searchings of heart, as in it would appear the first-fruits of the hand of the amateur. The Marchesa wisely restricted it to two dishes, for the compounding of which she requisitioned the services of Lady Considine, Mrs. Sinclair, and the Colonel. The others she sent to watch Angelina and her circle while they were preparing the vegetables and the dinner entrees.

After the luncheon dishes had been discussed, they were both proclaimed admirable. It was a true bit of Italian finesse on the part of the Marchesa to lay a share of the responsibility of the first meal upon the Colonel, who was notoriously the most captious and the hardest to please of all the company; and she did even more than make him jointly responsible, for she authorised him to see to the production of a special curry of his own invention, the recipe for which he always carried in his pocket-book, thus letting India share with Italy in the honours of the first luncheon.

"My congratulations to you on your curry, Colonel Trestrail," said Miss Macdonnell. "You haven't followed the English fashion of flavouring a curry by emptying the pepper-pot into the dish?"

"Pepper properly used is the most admirable of condiments," the Colonel said.

"Why this association of the Colonel and pepper?" said Van der Roet. "In this society we ought to be as nice in our phraseology as in our flavourings, and be careful to eschew the incongruous. You are coughing, Mrs. Wilding. Let me give you some water."

"I think it must have been one of those rare grains of the Colonel's pepper, for you must have a little pepper in a curry, mustn't you, Colonel? Though, as Miss Macdonnell says, English cooks generally overdo it."

"Vander is in one of his pleasant witty moods," said the Colonel, "but I fancy I know as much about the use of pepper as he does about the use of oil colours; and now we have, got upon art criticism, I may remark, my dear Vander, I have been reminded that you have been poaching on my ground. I saw a landscape of yours the other day, which looked as if some of my curry powder had got into the sunset. I mean the one poor blind old Wilkins bought at your last show."

"Ah, but that sunset was an inspiration, Colonel, and consequently beyond your comprehension."

"It is easy to talk of inspiration," said Sir John, "and, perhaps, now that we are debating a matter of real importance, we might spend our time more profitably than in discussing what is and what is not a good picture.

Some inspiration has been brought into our symposium, I venture to affirm that the brain which devised and the hand which executed the Tenerumi di Vitello we have just tasted, were both of them inspired. ... Read more

Product Description
This edition is written in English. However, there is a running Arabic thesaurus at the bottom of each page for the more difficult English words highlighted in the text. There are many editions of The Cook's Decameron. This edition would be useful if you would like to enrich your Arabic-English vocabulary, whether for self-improvement or for preparation in advanced of college examinations. Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" English words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Arabic, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English without using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. This edition is helpful to Arabic-speaking students enrolled in an English Language Program (ELP), an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program, an English as a Second Language Program (ESL), or in a TOEFL® or TOEIC® preparation program. Students who are actively building their vocabularies in Arabic or English may also find this useful for Advanced Placement® (AP®) tests.

Just when fifteen-year-old Bobby Pendragon thinks he understands his purpose as a Traveler -- to protect the territories of Halla from the evil Saint Dane -- he is faced with an impossible choice. The inhabitants of Eelong are in danger of being wiped out by a mysterious plague. The only way Bobby can stop it is to bring the antidote from another territory. Since moving items between territories is forbidden by the Traveler rules, if Bobby chooses to save Eelong he could endanger himself, his friends, and the future of every other being in Halla. ...

Exilerating Fun, the Pendragon Series does not let down
I just resumed my work on this set of stories, read up until Black Water a few years ago, and finally got my kindle so I purchase Black Water.I was glad to see the same old style :), fast paced action, and strong friendships that I have became accustomed to.I would have to say my only complaint about this book on kindle is no Text-To-Speech function, which I am still trying to figure out why they would disable it in the first place, I am a limited vision customer, so maybe I am not getting an important point, either way I was very pleased about the quality of this book.

I found very few spelling errors, one kept popping up though: When they referred to Eelong *A fictional "territory" where the story takes place, a few times they referred to it as "Belong".The author is a brilliant one, this is a series I will read all the way through, and will love it on my kindle :)

You did it, again, Mr. MacHale! Yes, you did.
I read through this without putting down the book once! This book is one you will spend your whole night reading, without being able to close it. At least, that's what happened to me. It is a story that is full of much action that keeps you at the edge of your seat. I read through Black Water, biting my nails, until I stared disappointedly at the back cover of the book, unable to believe that it was over. I looooved it! A must-read book. Absolutely!

Blackwater
The Pengragon series is a perfect set, I am tired of reading stories that always have happy endings Veloox was an eye operner, Black water is another seven star book where something pops up at every corner. Totall must-read.

Good reading for young adults
Purchased for grandsons.Read first and found ok so let grandsons read.Good for ages 10 and 12.A little too much magic, but ok.

The rules have changed!
