Witty, warm, and poignant, food blogger Sasha Martin's memoir about cooking her way to happiness and self-acceptance is a culinary journey like no other. Over the course of 195 weeks, food writer and blogger Sasha Martin set out to cook—and eat—a meal from every country in the world. As cooking unlocked the memories of her rough-and-tumble childhood and the loss and heartbreak that came with it, Martin became more determined than ever to find peace and elevate her life through the prism of food and world cultures. From the tiny, makeshift kitchen of her eccentric, creative mother, to a string of foster homes, to the house from which she launched her own cooking adventure, Martin's heartfelt, brutally honest memoir reveals the power of cooking to bond, to empower, and to heal—and celebrates the simple truth that happiness is created from within. "This beautifully written book is both poignant and uplifting. Not to mention delicious. It's an amazing family tale that reminds me of The Glass Castle, but with more food. And not just any food: We're talking cinnamon raisin pizza." —A.J. Jacobs, author of The Year of Living Biblically "Life From Scratch is an unconventional love story. This beautiful book begins with the quest of cooking a meal from every country—a noble feat of it's own!—but then turns it into something far beyond a kitchen adventure. Be prepared to be changed as you experience Sasha's journey for yourself." —Chris Guillebeau, author of The Happiness Pursuit

The Los Cabos story all started back in 1999 when we decided to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma and open a quick-service restaurant called Atomic Burrito. The chance to put your own thumbprint on a restaurant is a scary yet exciting time. We had seen other Mexican food quick-service restaurants around the country and thought they had something, but had not really done it all the way. We made a promise to ourselves that we would use only the highest quality products. We researched fajita steak and chicken marinade recipes. We took each and every recipe and made them over and over again until we felt it was the best in town. I remember making the chili con carne, one of the most important sauces, at least 15 times until we felt it was a home run. That was our dedication to quality. The guest immediately flocked in because of high quality food and reasonable prices. This concept became the foundation for what is now the most decorated Mexican restaurant in the state of Oklahoma. Chef Jimmy Blacketer did not go to culinary school to learn his skills. Although he did attend the University of Oklahoma while studying communications degree, he learned everything by rolling up his sleeves and spending hundreds of days in the kitchen. He was very blessed by the opportunity to spend time with a group of Hispanic employees that started with him day one at Atomic Burrito and still remain today as loyal employees (family!). Adela, Ernesto Gonzales, Willy Gonzales and Estella, have all made contributions to our concept. Adela is our head prep associate and has been my \Mexican food mother\ since 1999. We have both worked tirelessly developing these recipes. Enjoy.

The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.
