An effortless— really!— approach to fat- burningIs it possible to eat well, drink wine, and still lose weight? Melanie Avalon is living proof that, heck yeah, it’s not only possible, it’s unbelievably simple and straightforward. It’s all about the what (mostly Paleo, but she’s not a monster about it), the when (yup, it’s fasting, but believe it or not, fasting can mean freedom rather than restriction), and the wine (for some women, red wine may be the secret bullet for weight loss). It’s a combination that Avalon discovered after years of intense research on the mechanics of body fat regulation.

A portable “happy place” of whimsical illustrationsKirsten Sevig’s Instagram fans— 120,000 strong and counting— have been clamoring for a book of her art. She paints rainbow- colored rooftops, striped pears, birds in hats, teacups, cats, and more— all drawn to bring joy to anyone who views them. When the weather is rainy and gray, Sevig paints herself some sunshine. When she feels sad, she paints something colorful to cheer herself up; when anxious, something soothing and repetitive; when overwhelmed, she makes a series of small decisions about what to put on the page and begins to feel empowered.

In Striped Pears and Polka Dots, Sevig invites readers into her cozy, sunny world of snail mail, patterned socks and knitted sweaters, ice cream and flaky croissants, and dachshunds in sweaters. This perfect gift book will inspire readers to look around and notice all the little happy- makers that surround them in their daily lives.

PETS


From silly to sweet, cat sketches by Michael Korda, drawn with love for his wifeWith the imagination of a writer and the eye of an artist, Michael Korda doodled on the backs of old manuscripts in his tackroom while his wife, Margaret, was out riding. They loved and acquired cats— a habit written about previously in their book, Cat People— and the few in residence at this time would serve as inspiration for the drawings. These are no ordinary cat illustrations, though. Korda’s cats read newspapers and books; go ice skating in the small country town where they live; comfort Margaret’s horse, Monty, after a stressful vet visit; sell fried mice at the Farmer’s Market; and undertake (on paper, at least) whatever fanciful endeavors their keeper conjures up.

The result is a collection of magical pieces, filled with joy, that represent a year in the life of a couple in love with one another, and certainly with their cats.

HUMOR

WINTER 2018 13

For anyone who’s ever heard a motivational speech and immediately vomited, a guide to ignoring society’s obsession with success

Sit around, leave your sh*t all over the place, drink lots of alcohol, never show up where you’re supposed to be . . . being lazy is pretty easy. The real art in being chill is when someone without any real ambition can fly under the radar, and live unscathed by the never- ending reams of self- help and inspiration rained upon anyone who just wants to watch Netflix. This is the magical place where doing what comes naturally keeps the do- ers at arm’s length. Rather than doing less, do just enough.

So screw TED Talks, Instagram images of a beach that say “Fail Better” in gold cursive, marathon training, tips for keeping plants alive, and all self- aggrandizing social media. Ninety- nine percent of people on this planet are just pretty average. Are you awake right now? Reading a sentence? You know what? That’s success in my book. Being a person is hard enough without all the pressure to be good at it.

More than one hundred wholesome recipes from the kitchens of the Canterbury ShakersFirst published in 1987, this classic cookbook remains a timeless guide to Shaker cooking.

It offers an authentic, firsthand profile of a way of life that continues to fascinate. True American recipes, derived from oral tradition, include:

• Irving Greenwood’s Pot Roast• Canterbury Shaker Parsnips• Moravian Sugar Cake• Orange Zucchini Bars

As well as the recipes, the book also gives an account of twentieth- century cooking and baking at the Canterbury Shaker Village. Mary Rose Boswell adds a new foreword.
