Customer Review: Develop a system a dummy could use…
For months I was learning how to start a non-profit through alot of second-hand sources and word of mouth. Hours online and months of hairpulling later, someone recommended this book and within 2 weeks all my ducks were in a row and now I’m waiting on them instead of myself.
Customer Review: Decent introductory guide
While I wish the book covered more specifics, it does offer a helpful broad-based introduction to the main aspects of fundraising. I would recommend this book especially to small community-based nonprofit volunteers and board members who want to gain “the big picture” and research the particulars (e.g., state-wide tax laws) elsewhere.
Lord Krishna’s Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking Finally back in print–the definitive volume on Indian vegetarian cooking. Created by a noted author and lecturer, Lord Krishna’s Cuisine features more than 500 recipes, filled with fresh produce and herbs, delicate spices, hot curries, and homemade dairy products. All recipes are based on readily available ingredients and have been scrupulously adapted for American kitchens. The recipes are enlivened by the author’s anecdotes and personal reminiscences of her years in India, including stories of gathering recipes from royal families and temple cooks, which had been jealously guarded for centuries. Hailed by Gourmet as “definitive,” and as “a marvelous source for vegetarians” by Bon Appetit, Devi has created the landmark work on the world’s most sophisticated vegetarian cuisine. Repackaged and evocatively illustrated, Lord Krishna’s Cuisine unlocks the mysteries of the most healthful and delicious recipes of the world.
