A Wish Can Change Your Life by Gahl Sasson
Buy at Amazon
This book was recommended to me by my very dear (and wise) friend, Julie Valentine. I’m not one for new age books, doing games geared to make me happy or looking at self-help stuff. It’s boring, contrived and I find for the most part, gimmicky. This is different. This book is different on so many levels. I almost hesitated because the title sounds hokey to me but it’s based on the Kabbalah, common sense and intuition. I love how it explains things, the process it uses to make a wish or goal viable. I like the fact I read just a chapter a week and I don’t have to write stuff down and talk about my feelings.. The scary part about this book is that it doesn’t mess around. If you follow the advice, look for signs, try a little - you get what you’re looking for. If you just want to learn nice language, pretend to have a dream, talk about talk then skip this book. This is real.

Both of these books have the most stunning food photography and Seriously Simple Eats has a truly beautiful layout. What I love about these cookbooks is that for someone like me who does not cook (I do not even own pots and pans or cookware at the moment. I’ll be picking this up when I’m finished moving) these recipes are a godsend. They’re all fabulously easy and very, very good. I tend to eat a very European diet - I eat bread, pasta, sauces, fat, and all that good stuff and this has it all. There’s not “diet” in these books but the recipes are healthy just the same. They all have easy, fresh ingredients and not only are they all fast, but I think pretty inexpensive. Good gifts for others or
yourself.
