Searing Inspiration: Fast, Adaptable Entrées and Fresh Pan Sauces

Learn the art of making a quick, tasty, and convenient meal from scratch.

Sear, deglaze, enhance, and serve: flavorful dinners can be that simple. A master teacher, Susan Volland first explains how to skillfully wield a hot skillet to sear entrees, then shows how quickly a fresh, easy sauce can be made in that same hot pan. In more than sixty enticing recipes that cover seafood, poultry, meats, vegetables, tofu, and eggs, Volland invites home cooks to adapt her recipes for taste, diet, and ingredient availability.

A classic Sole Meuniere can work for chicken, calamari, or salmon: simply top with browned butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of parsley. Feistier contemporary dishes such as Tamarind-Glazed Chicken, Lamb Patties with Berbere Gravy, and Provolone “Steaks” with Warmed Cherry Tomatoes also offer creative substitutions. Searing Inspiration will embolden cooks to invent dishes, bringing the age-old pan sauce to modern tastes and kitchens.

Nursing from Within: A Fresh Alternative to Putting Out Fires and Self-Care Workarounds

At a time when health care is going through major change, nurses—known for being highly capable in a crisis—are being forced to take on more and more responsibilities. In this increasingly stressful environment, nurses need new ways to make sure they are taking care of themselves so they don’t succumb to the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion of caring for everyone and everything else.

Nursing from Within: A Fresh Alternative to Putting Out Fires and Self-Care Workarounds offers the innovative solutions today’s nurses need.

Although it outlines the problems nurses face, this book is not about trying to change the working environment. Rather, it’s about altering inner perspectives. With boundless energy and passion, it addresses an element that’s largely missing from nursing self-care programs focusing on diet and health: the spiritual self.

Taking a holistic approach that incorporates spiritual and energy principles such as Reiki, Nursing from Within teaches you how to connect with your authentic self. Author Elizabeth Scala’s enthusiasm is contagious, as she shares proven and effective strategies for creating shifts in your perspective, empowering you to take on the challenges of nursing with a confidence and vitality that will bring the joy back to your chosen profession.
