The Art of Making Gelato: More than 50 Flavors to Make at Home by Morgan Morano is a wonderful book that is well presented with lots of information and easy to follow directions. There are some unusual flavors such as olive oil and apple pies and a couple more, but most of them are traditional flavors which are easy to make, with little effort.

There is a step-by-step guide to Gelato's, along with chaptrers on The Basic, The Classics, Nuts, Non Traditional Flavors and New Flavors. The gelato's in her own store are made on a day by day basis, to be sold to her customer's as it's much better very fresh.

Amazing graphics combined with amazing story
As with traditional fighting games, Mortal Kombat tops them all. Combining futuristic, screen popping graphics with that MK storyline we all know and love. Much better than MKX in my opinion as the game seems to run much more smoothly

Atmosphere escapism with a sprinkle of magic (0 more)
My very favourite book
Whenever I am asked for a book recommendation I suggest this without hesitation. It is a retake of a traditional folk tale that is perfect for a cold winter's night. Atmospheric, magical and so easy to read you practically inhale it.

Plenty of expansions available to keep the game interesting
Some people will be frustrated by the luck of the card draws. (0 more)
Not many games are designed specifically for 2 players. 7 Wonders Duel is an effect adaptation of the normal 7 Wonders, that plays wonderfully with 2 players.

I like the concept of the story , but if you are a fan of th fairy tale sweet versions these dark ones might really not be for you. I didn’t expect to like to much . Better than I thought it would be.

John Lazano tells us the tale of John Lazano and his search for enough love. It's the story that spans fifty-four years of his life from his beginnings from a traditional New York Italian Catholic family. He lived multiple lives with multiple wives traveled the world and had hundreds of affairs. He is a talented writer who definitely does not leave anything to the imagination. The fascinating life he lived in the Navy, his traveling on cruise ships and his uncanny ability to get himself tangled up with women of all kinds from his second wife a madam in San Diego to his traditional third wife who came from a traditional Italian home who followed behind him between New York, New Jersey, Minnesota and Florida. He was even unwitting married to a fellow Navy midshipman who was a bi-sexual who almost ruined his career in the Navy. John has a way to take you on the travels and you wander along the way when will love that he is receiving. It can not seem to Never Enough Love. I feel for this man who seems that even when he loses it all throughout the story that regardless of all his travels and pursuits he is still searching with no boundaries.

Deeply rich characters and settings. (2 more)
The author, Scott Lynch, writes this book in a way that the words drip off of the page like fine liqueur.
Fantasy novels are either cliché and familiar, or try to forcibly break the traditional. This novel is at the same time familiar and yet unique.
One of the best books I've read in years

They came to their senses!
Rise Michael again after a disappointing reach of the 3rd film.

Laurie Strode's daughter is the subject of this return to the more traditional Michael Myers film. Also the return of Dr. Loomis.

This one feels more like the Michael you know and love although not much new to the formula.
