Jacques Pepin in conversation with Jeffrey Freburg. They'll discuss his new book, Essential Pepin. For the first time ever, the legendary chef collects and updates the best recipes from his six-decade career. With a searchable DVD demonstrating every technique a cook will ever need. In his more than sixty years as a chef, Jacques P%eacutepin has earned a reputation as a champion of simplicity. His recipes are classics. They find the shortest, surest route to flavor, avoiding complicated techniques. Now, in a book that celebrates his life in food, the world's most famous cooking teacher winnows his favorite recipes from the thousands he has created, streamlining them even further. They include Onion Soup Lyonnaise-Style, which Jacques enjoyed as a young chef while bar-crawling in Paris; Linguine with Clam Sauce and Vegetables, a frequent dinner chez Jacques; Grilled Chicken with Tarragon Butter, which he makes indoors in winter and outdoors in summer; Five-Peppercorn Steak, his spin on a bistro classic; M%eacutem%eacute's Apple Tart, which his mother made every day in her Lyon restaurant; and Warm Chocolate Fondue Souffl%eacute, part cake, part pudding, part souffl%eacute, and pure bliss. Essential P%eacutepin spans the many styles of Jacques's cooking: homey country French, haute cuisine, fast food Jacques-style, and fresh contemporary American dishes. Many of the recipes are globally inspired, from Mexico, across Europe, or the Far East. From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 2077 18 ratings Time: 50:56 More in Education

Authors at Google: Jon Gertner, "The Idea Factory"
New York Times Magazine writer Jon Gertner unveils the unique magic of Bell Labs through the eyes and actions of its scientists. These ingenious, often eccentric men would became revolutionaries, and sometimes legends, whether for inventing radio astronomy in their spare time (and on the company's dime), riding unicycles through the corridors, or pioneering the principles that propel today's technology. In these pages, we learn how radar came to be, and lasers, transistors, satellites, mobile phones, and much more. Even more importantly, Gertner reveals the forces that set off this explosion of creativity. Bell Labs combined the best aspects of the academic and corporate worlds, hiring the brightest and usually the youngest minds, creating a culture and even an architecture that forced employees in different fields to work together, in virtually complete intellectual freedom, with little pressure to create moneymaking innovations. In Gertner's portrait, we come to understand why both researchers and business leaders look to Bell Labs as a model, and long to incorporate its magic into their own work. Written with a novelist's gift for pacing and ability to convey the thrill of innovation, THE IDEA FACTORY yields a revelatory take on the business of invention. What are the principles of innovation? How do new technology, and new ideas, begin? Are some environments more favorable than others? How should they be structured, and how should they be governed?

Joni Dega is a multifaceted Rock & Roll musician that produces and writes music inspired from his personal life experiences and unique perspective. Joni considers his lyrics, musical composition skills and live performances, an outlet to express his growth as a person and development as a musician. He challenges traditional perspectives on Black Music and is a proponent of music education and diversity. Joni asserts his musical tastes have always been diverse despite criticism from the urban music scene: "I always liked all types of music. My friends from the urban community would look at me crazy because I would listen to rock-and-roll." Joni's goal is to create music that transcends generation, race and genre. As an African American in a genre predominantly dominated by white Americans, Joni's road has been a turbulent but fulfilling journey towards self-improvement. As a youth, Joni struggled with poor decision making. He firmly believes that music is a positive outlet for youth that might otherwise lack direction and need an outlet for their emotions. Joni's decision to channel his energy into music and connecting with his fan base, has certainly paid off.

Authors at Google: Joshua David, Robert Hammond, "HIGH LINE: ..."
The High Line, a new park atop an elevated rail structure on Manhattan's West Side, is among the most innovative urban reclamation projects in memory. The story of how it came to be is a remarkable one: two young citizens with no prior experience in planning and development collaborated with their neighbors, elected officials, artists, local business owners, and leaders of burgeoning movements in horticulture and landscape architecture to create a park celebrated worldwide as a model for creatively designed, socially vibrant, ecologically sound public space. David and Hammond loved the ruin and saw in it an opportunity to create a new way to experience their city. Over ten years, they did so. In this candid and inspiring book%mdash lavishly illustrated%mdashthey tell how they relied on skill, luck, and good timing: a crucial court ruling, an inspiring design contest, the enthusiasm of Mayor Bloomberg, the concern for urban planning issues following 9/11. Now the High Line%mdasha half-mile expanse of plants, paths, staircases, and framed vistas%mdashruns through a transformed West Side and reminds us that extraordinary things are possible when creative people work together for the common good.

Jason Felch, "Chasing Aphrodite": Authors at Google
From Google Books: In recent years, several of America's leading art museums have voluntarily given up their finest pieces of classical art to the governments of Italy and Greece. The monetary value is estimated at over half a billion dollars. Why would they be moved to such unheard-of generosity? The answer lies at the Getty, one of the world's richest and most troubled museums, and scandalous revelations that it had been buying looted antiquities for decades. Drawing on a trove of confidential museum records and frank interviews, Felch and Frammolino give us a fly-on-the-wall account of the inner workings of a world-class museum and tell the story of the Getty's dealings in the illegal antiquities trade. The outlandish characters and bad behavior could come straight from the pages of a thriller%mdashthe wealthy recluse founder, the cagey Italian art investigator, the playboy curator, the narcissist CEO%mdashbut their chilling effects on the rest of the art world have been all too real, as the authors show in novelistic detail. Fast-paced and compelling, Chasing Aphrodite exposes the layer of dirt beneath the polished fa%ccedilade of the museum business.

And "connected TVs" blend web and television content into a unified big screen experience bringing us back into our living rooms. Social TV examines the changing (and complex) television landscape and helps brands navigate its many emerging and exciting marketing and advertising opportunities. Stacey Shepatin leads Hill Holliday's national broadcast buying practice which involves directing the strategy, recommendation and implementation for all national television buying and direct response advertising for Hill Holliday's portfolio of clients.

Authors at Google: Joshua Foer, "Moonwalking with Einstein"
On average, people squander forty days annually compensating for things they've forgotten. Joshua Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of memory training, he found himself in the finals of the US Memory Championship. Even more important, Foer found a vital truth we too often forget: In every way that matters, we are the sum of our memories. Moonwalking with Einstein draws on cutting-edge research, a surprising cultural history of memory, and venerable tricks of the mentalist's trade to transform our understanding of human remembering. Under the tutelage of top "mental athletes," he learns ancient techniques once employed by Cicero to memorize his speeches and by Medieval scholars to memorize entire books. Using methods that have been largely forgotten, Foer discovers that we can all dramatically improve our memories. Joshua Foer was born in Washington, DC in 1982 and lives in New Haven, CT with his wife Dinah. His writing has appeared in National Geographic, Esquire, Slate, Outside, the New York Times, and other publications. He is the co-founder of the Atlas Obscura, an online guide to the world's wonders and curiosities. He is also the co-founder of the architectural design competition, Sukkah City. Moonwalking with Einstein is his first book. From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 1185 19 ratings Time: 52:18 More in News & Politics
