<b>For the first time, Charlie Sheen - the star of </b><i><b>Platoon</b></i><b>, </b><i><b>Wall Street</b></i><b>, </b><i><b>Major League</b></i><b> and </b><i><b>Two and a Half Men - </b></i><b>writes the story of his extraordinary life in an unfiltered memoir.</b><br/><br/><i>'We can live the stories or hear about them later from others. I choose the former.'</i><br/><br/>Charlie Sheen shouldn't be alive to write this book. But in <i>The Book of Sheen</i>, the movie and TV star, who has defied the odds, finally presents his story, in his own words. Charlie Sheen was born the third of four children to actor Martin Sheen and his wife, Janet. He grew up on film sets - from his father's all over the world, to his own in Malibu. There, he made ambitious Super 8s, with a roster of friends who went on to become household names, including his brother Emilio, Sean and Chris Penn and the Lowe brothers.<br/><br/>Sheen broke into movies in the 1980s, playing a hoodlum in <i>Ferris Bueller's Day Off</i>, a young soldier in <i>Platoon</i> and an ethically compromised trader in <i>Wall Street</i>. But somewhere along the way, despite a successful transition to TV leading man in <i>Spin City </i>and <i>Two and a Half Men</i>, Sheen descended into a vortex of extracurricular activities.<br/><br/>Now sober, Sheen delivers a clear-eyed narrative of his highs and lows with humour, candour and a vivid, captivating writing style that is uniquely his. <i>The Book of Sheen</i> reads like a far-fetched, overstuffed novel of Hollywood life - yet it is all true.

<strong>A charmingly obsessive, thoroughly tested exploration of the best ways to cook and bake your favorite foods</strong>.<br/><br/>Some might think the "best" roast chicken means "most efficient without sacrificing juicy meat," while others might think "best" is the one that you won't be able to stop thinking about for years, no matter how long it takes in a sous vide bag. When writer Ella Quittner (creator of Food52's "Absolute Best Tests")<strong> </strong>is cooking or baking something, she cannot rest until she's tested every method she can to arrive at the best result. Even if that means traveling to Tokyo to learn the trick to extra juicy tsukune for her tender meatballs or spending time in the Alabama Black Belt gathering intel from the pros for her flakiest biscuits. <br/><br/>In <em>Obsessed with the Best, </em>Ella walks you through the results of 24 head-to-head tests of cooking methods to help you find the perfect choice for your palate. From these building blocks, Ella shares more than 100 recipes, grounding you in minimalist techniques that maximize flavor, and sharing creative options as jumping off points for your own favorite flavors. Recipes include:<ul><li>Under-Pressure Flaky Biscuits, Fluffy No-Special-Equipment Buttermilk Pancakes, and a failproof Caramelized Shallot Soft Scrambled Eggs with Comte</li><li>Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Insurance Cheese, Rigatoni with Vodka "All'Amatriciana," and more than a dozen optimized veggies, like Braised Tomato-Butter Cabbage. </li><li>Entrees like Triple-Secret Tender Meatballs, One-Hour Roast Chicken, Opulent Slow-Roasted Chicken, and Lemon-Butter Cold-Poached Shrimp</li><li>Sweets like Overachiever Extra Brown Butter Bakery-Worthy Chocolate Chunk Cookies, Soft & Tender Yellow Cake, and Actually Manageable French-ish Buttercream</li></ul><br/><br/>Punctuated with reported essays on people, places, or things obsessed with "the best"-be it a bacon evangelist from Iowa who flies annually all the way to Kofu, Japan, to throw a "Porktober Fest" in the middle of a seasonal celebration of a feudal lord, or an international spin through different pasta-making methods from Osaka to Tuscany-<em>Obsessed with the Best </em>is precise, informative, personal, and fun in equal measure.
