![]() Next, Berry and VanTrece are collaborating on Dulcet, a speakeasy spearheaded by Berry, planned to open later this year.īut that's not all. Twisted Soul is a family affair, with the bar program under the direction of VanTrece's daughter, Kursten Berry, who shares "moonshine flights" and twisted spins on classics like the Havana-Old Fashioned or When Harry Met Helen or the Thai Basil Mint Julep. For me to tackle all of that, I had to take a step back and hand the reins to someone else who could build on what I had created." "That freed me up to concentrate on the cookbook and other endeavors. ![]() VanTrece is taking steps toward new adventures, starting with naming Robert Butts as the new executive chef at Twisted Soul so that she could take on other challenges. ![]() I think we need to be a little more adventurous in what we try, because it just might become something you love to eat - and cook at home." I think Americans are very safe when it comes to what they will eat. Part of what drives VanTrece is "wanting to introduce people to different cultures, and that includes soul food. ![]()

![]() ![]() Jamie is such social poison to Landon's insecure circle that he avoids her at all costs, until, as the newly elected class president desperate for a date to the dance, he asks her, certain that she'll be available. There is more than a touch of Holden Caulfield in his character when he encounters Jamie Sullivan, the daughter of a local minister and the goody-two-shoes of the school. Neglect pushes Landon to develop a rebellious streak, and at the start of the story he is both adrift and certain, confident and susceptible to peer opinion in other words, a typical teenager. Compounding the lack of strong male figures in Landon's life is his hypocritical congressman father, who rarely spends time at home. The Carters are a family whose wealth was built on a grandfather's profits from bootlegging. In A Walk to Remember, Landon Carter narrates the flashback story of his senior year in the late 1950s at Beaufort High in Beaufort, North Carolina, when he first discovers the power of love. Nicholas Sparks waves his magic romance wand once again, this time over the ideal of transformational first love. ![]() ![]() ![]() It reminded me of the friendship that I had with an elderly woman. I think this is what I loved best about this book. Opinions are my own.Ī well written novel with an unlikely friendship. ![]() Thanks to Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I highly recommend this book, but have tissues at the ready as you get to the end. ![]() William Loizeaux’s writing takes you right along with his relaxed and fun to read style. I loved learning about sailing terms (definitions included in the back), and the relationship between Rusty and Hazel is so delightful to watch as it develops all the way to the end. Not one to pass on watermelon, Rusty accepts the invitation and soon finds a friend who understands his love of sailing, encourages him in his studies, and helps him rise to the challenge in many areas of his life. Rusty brushes her off, but a few days later Hazel sees him in town and she asks him if he’d like to come to her house for lunch with watermelon for dessert. When he’s bailing out his little catboat, an old lady in a wheelchair asks if he will take her sailing. It tells the story of Rusty, an almost 6th grader who has to go to summer school to catch up on math, and his mother has gone some place that will help her not be so sad anymore. Into the Wind, by William Loizeaux is a book you will not want to miss. ![]() |
