BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Make a significant difference to your health...while treating your tastebuds to fine Chinese cuisine! These Heartsmart recipes, endorsed by the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, come from the kitchen of a Hong Kong-born chef, restaurant consultant, and writer--and they are scrumptious. You'll discover a whole new world of flavors, textures, and ingredients, one with a rainbow's variety of vegetables, whole grains, and limited amounts of well-seasoned meats. Several rich-tasting (but butter- and oil-free) stocks will help you get the most out of every recipe; they enhance the flavor of any ingredient, take little time, and freeze beautifully for future use. 100 easy-to-follow, lower-fat, lower-sodium dishes include such delicacies as Prawns with Cashews, Singapore Stir-Fried Noodles, Spicy Tangerine Beef, and Stir-Fried Chicken with Mango. Each one has a complete nutritional analysis, and there's a photo guide, fat-cutting secrets, simple new techniques and practical tips for everyday cooking, and information on substitutes for Chinese ingredients.
