Synopsis
There's only one thing that Coolio's been doing longer than rapping: cooking. His recipes are built around solid comfort foods with a healthy twist that don't break the bank. You can't find fusions like Blasian (black Asian) or Ghettalian (ghetto Italian) in restaurants, but you can have them cooking away in your kitchen faster and easier than ordering takeout. Coolio started making thirty-minute meals when he was ten years old and has since developed a whole new cuisine: Ghetto Gourmet. Start your Ghetto Gourmet adventure with some "Soul Rolls," follow-up with "Finger-Lickin', Rib-Stickin', Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-into-Your-Mouth Chicken," and finish off with "Banana Ba-ba-ba-bread" sweetened with golden honey. Chapters such as "How to Become a Kitchen Pimp," "Chillin' and Grillin'," and "Pasta Like a Rasta" will guide you through creating five-star meals at a star-star price. As Coolio says, "All you need is a little bit of food, and a little bit of know-how.", A genre-bending mixture of recipes that are both cheap and healthy from Ghetto Gourmet' and rap legend Coolio.', The three volumes - Capernaum VI, Capernaum VII, and Capernaum VIII - are intertextual and present the description (Capernaum VI), illustrated documentation (Capernaum VII) and photographic documentation (Capernaum VIII) for the ceramics collected on the Franciscan property in Capernaum (Israel) over the course of twenty-three archaeological digs. For this project, the author took part as Assistant to the Director V. Corbo (1968- 1986) and then as his successor (2000 - 2003), and the dates of the material range from the early Bronze Age to the Mamluk period (about 3200 BC to 1400 AD). In this account, the different types of terra cotta vases are presented using a uniform classification system with an alphanumeric code assigned according to type, and with references to the illustrations, photographs, descriptions, frequency, dating, contexts, and parallels. There are numerous illustrations: 10,539 of the 44,730 items recorded have been sketched to illustrate both individual type and their associations in certain stratigraphic contexts. The Ceramics Register makes cross-referencing between the three volumes easy. The author allows the figures to speak for themselves in the twenty-one tables included. For example, regarding Table XIII, one learns that terra sigillata is represented at Capernaum by a tremendous 8,387 examples. No other archaeological site in the Holy Land has furnished such a massive amount of terra sigillata, coming mostly from Africa Proconsularis (896 examples of African terra sigillata), the western coasts of Asia Minor (3,832 pieces of Phocaean terra sigillata.) and Cyprus (2,947 specimens of Cypriot terra sigillata). This flood of terra sigillata affected all of the homes in Capernaum irregardless of social class, which can be readily verified vis-a-vis the Register. Additionally, the author presents Map II to show the areas in Capernaum where terra sigillata moulds with crosses were located. Capernaum's contacts with foreign countries are not limited to the elegant terra sigillata plates primarily from the Byzantine period. An Egyptian scarab was already present as early as the Second Millennium BC. In the Persian period, characteristic amphorae from Phoenicia reached Capernaum. Plates inspired by the ceramics of Megara, amphorae with Greek inscriptions most likely from Rhodes, and ciboria from Corinth are recorded in the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The involvement with distant cultures does not end with the Arab period; even in the Mamluk period, glazed ceramics inspired by faraway China were found in Capernaum. Beyond these lively contacts with foreign places, facilitated by Capernaum's position on the via maris, the lengthy excavations at Capernaum have yielded other results that are just as important to ceramologists interested in the region's "common" pottery., There's only one thing that Coolio's been doing longer than rapping and that's cooking. While growing up poor, Coolio learnt how to transform even the most basic ingredients into culinary masterpieces. For more than 35 years, the superstar has honed his creative cooking chops and he now presents readers with 75 mouthwatering, economical recipes built around comfort foods with a healthy twist., There's only one thing that Coolio's been doing longer than rapping: cooking. His recipes are built around solid comfort foods with a healthy twist that don't break the bank. You can't find the fusions Coolio created like Blasian (black Asian) or Ghettalian (ghetto Italian) in restaurants, but you can have them cooking away in your kitchen faster and easier than ordering takeout. Coolio started making thirty-minute meals when he was ten years old and has since developed a whole new cuisine: Ghetto Gourmet. Start your Ghetto Gourmet adventure with some "Soul Rolls," follow-up with "Finger-Lickin', Rib-Stickin', Fall-Off-the-Bone-and-into-Your-Mouth Chicken," and finish off with "Banana Ba-ba-ba-bread" sweetened with golden honey. Cookin' with Coolio features 76 tasty, easy-to-make and economical recipes built around comfort foods with a healthy twist, accompanied by 25 full-color pictures. The book covers everything: -How to Become a Kitchen Pimp -The Rules of the Ghetto Gourmet to everything you'll need to make a complete meal -Pimpin' the poultry -Sinful steaks -It's Hard Out Here for a Shrimp -Chillin' and Grillin' As Coolio says, "All you need is a little bit of food, and a little bit of know-how."

    The listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
