Workman Publishing grew to become one of the most prestigious nonfiction publishers in the United States.

It’s an easy read that explains the rules of preppy etiquette, including a clever explanation of why preppy parents use ducks as their mascots and how to get the proper collar on your polo shirt.
The Silver Palate Cookbook®
The Silver Palate Cookbook® is a classic workbook that has been in print for over twenty-five years. This cookbook is packed with 350 flawlessly seasoned recipes that will inspire you to cook and entertain.
The book was written by Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso, who opened The Silver Palate food shop on Manhattan’s Upper West Side in 1977. The shop introduced gourmet foods like fancy vinegars, kiwis, and sun-dried tomatoes to the cosmopolitan taste of New York City.
As a result, The Silver Palate became synonymous with the food trends of the 1970s and 1980s. They helped usher in a new way to cook that was bold and seasoned.
This cookbook was an instant hit, and it sold millions of copies. Now, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of this ground-breaking cookbook, Workman Publishing has published a new edition featuring the recipes that have become synonymous with The Silver Palate.
It includes all the familiar Silver Palate favorites, from Chicken Marbella to Curried Butternut Squash Soup and Brie Wrapped in Filo. It also features color photographs and updated information on cheeses, sausages, and heirloom tomatoes. This cookbook is perfect for anyone who wants to rekindle their passion for cooking!

Safari®
Safari® is the default browser on Apple devices, including Mac computers and iOS mobile devices. It is based on the WebKit engine. It is fast and efficient, and comes with a number of features for productivity and security.
Safari also has a Reader View that strips out advertisements and other distractions so you can read articles in an elegant format that’s easier on the eyes. It also lets you save articles for later using Reading List and syncs your bookmarks and reading lists between devices.
Privacy is a strong focus for Safari, as it combats the tracking of user activity on the internet that has become a business model for many web-based companies. Unlike most other browsers, it does not retain cookies and history data on your device, or let websites write them into local storage or Web SQL Databases.
It also fights browser fingerprinting, where websites can track your activities by examining your system configuration and revealing a simplified version of it. This makes it harder for malicious scripts to run on your device, and prevents sites from collecting sensitive information about you.
