About this listen
This year was an off year for apples. At least it was in my yard. Others in my neighborhood reported a record year as far as the number of apples on their trees goes. However, my trees only really invest in producing apples every other year. And this year they were saving their energy to reach for the sun. Still I must have gotten over 100 apples off of my two apple trees. It’s fine that I didn’t get more apples because I’m busy doing a million other things including, of course, writing books.
In 2017, I wrote Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. That treat always makes me drool. This year I’m writing Chocolate Covered Cherries Applesauce, which is another treat that will make you be rude and salivate.
I hope that you enjoy these recipes just as much as those in my previous book. And I hope that you get creative and make your own gourmet applesauce recipes. You can find tips on choosing the right apples and flavors in Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. I won’t bother repeating those tips here. Recipes are handy to have. I often use them as a starting point. But mostly, my cooking is an art. And of course, I don’t write down how much of what I put in any of my applesauces when I’m making them.
Notwithstanding that, I’ve added a section at the end of this audiobook titled "Recipes". That’s where I’ve tried to recall how much of each ingredient I used in each recipe. Each of my gourmet applesauce recipes starts with my "Basic Gourmet Applesauce Recipe" which is also included in the "Recipes" section. Perhaps I wrote that section as an attempt to assuage my guilt for not writing each recipe down at the time I made it. No, that can’t be true. I don’t feel any guilt about that at all.
I must have written it because I wanted you to be able to repeat my successes. I wrote it for you, so that your attempts at making my recipes wouldn’t turn out to be total disasters. Of course, when making a gourmet applesauce, it’s hard to create a total flop. However, as you’ll learn in my "Orange Spiced Punch Applesauce" section, you may end up with something totally different from what you had in mind when you started. Oh those apples and flavors! They can be such tricksters.

Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”.

Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken.

Why are Danes the happiest people in the world? The answer, says Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, is hygge. Loosely translated, hygge - pronounced hoo-ga - is a sense of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. "Hygge is about an atmosphere and an experience," Wiking explains.

In a culture where sipping "rosé all day" is seen as the epitome of relaxation, "grabbing a drink" the only way to network; and meeting at a bar the quintessential "first date", many of us are left wondering if drinking alcohol really is the only way to cultivate joy and connection in life. Jardine Libaire and Amanda Eyre Ward wanted to live spontaneous and luxurious lives, to escape the ordinary and enjoy the intoxicating. Their drinking, however, had started to numb them to the present moment instead of unlocking it.

Story
The British have a relationship with their food that is unlike that of any other country. Once something that was never discussed in polite company, it is now something with which the nation is obsessed. But are we at last developing a food culture or are we just going through the motions? Eating for England is an entertaining, detailed, and somewhat tongue-in-cheek observation of the British and their food, their cooking, their eating, and how they behave in restaurants.

When she moved her young family to her husband's hometown in northern France, Karen Le Billon expected some cultural adjustment. But she didn't expect to be lectured for slipping her fussing toddler a snack, or to be forbidden from packing her older daughter a school lunch. Karen is intrigued by the fact that French children happily eat everything-from beets to broccoli, from salad to spinach - while French obesity rates are a fraction of what they are in North America.

Story
American food is the story of mash-ups. Immigrants arrive, cultures collide, and out of the push-pull come exciting new dishes and flavors. But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories? A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country.
