Descripción editorial
Hailing from Hawaii, poke (or POH-key] is best described as laid-back sushi bowls, and is THE hottest food trend of the moment.
Traditionally made from chunks of fresh, raw fish, anything goes when it comes to ingredients: select your fish, cube it, layer it on rice and pile it high with any topping you like. Simple!
Start with the vibrant Tropical Ahi Poke, dressed with a zingy pineapple and chilli salad, or for something that packs a real flavour-punch try the wonderfully refreshing Lomi Lomi Salmon served on a bowl of crushed ice. Poke bowls are extremely customisable: if catering for vegetarians sub out the fish for chopped tempeh, tofu or even cubes of avocado and sweet potato.
Complete with helpful instructions on how to prep fish and cook rice, you’ll also find inspired ways to pimp up your bowls: from crunchy pickles and mouthwatering marinades to awesome sides and snacks and more! And whatever you do, make sure you leave room for the sweet stuff and drinks – this is seriously tasty comfort food that everyone will love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The pseudonymous Jackson (an "acclaimed short story writer and novelist") plumbs the lives of those who pace the halls at New York City's exclusive Griffin School in this accomplished novel. Varied in age and income bracket, the cast is finely drawn if familiar: Julianne Coopersmith, a middle-class teen with an overprotective mother, attends Griffin on scholarship; Morgan Goldfine, Julianne's best friend whose mother recently died, is awash in grief; Michael Avery, Julianne's boy wonder boyfriend, is Harvard bound; and Kathryn "Lazy" Hoffman, Griffin's headmistress, is having a professionally verboten affair with a teacher. Cracks form in Julianne and Michael's relationship after Michael shows signs of mental instability, though Julianne's loathe to give up on him, even when his symptoms hint at violent tendencies. Morgan mopes her way through the school year, and Julianne's mother strikes up an unlikely friendship with Michael's mother. Kathryn's affair, predictably, becomes public knowledge, sparking domestic and professional upheaval. If the plot packs few surprises, Jackson's rendering of relationships both toxic and positive, filial and friendly is flawlessly executed as she flits from social strata to social strata. The similarity in cover art between this novel and Prep isn't for nothing.
