Les Éditions de La Presse Criticism never killed anyone: memoirs
I loved being a journalist. I loved writing for a newspaper, being published, informing readers. Not changing the world, no, nothing so grand, but changing mindsets, making people react, touching them, positively or negatively. Participating in a great open conversation, which sometimes perhaps led nowhere, but what did it matter, the essential thing was to be part of it.” Nathalie Petrowski. With a pen as sharp as her character, Nathalie Petrowski has always been a free spirit. In *This Criticism Never Killed Anyone*, she delivers, without evasion or settling scores, her memoirs as a journalist. The memoirs of a woman who, from P'tit Simard to Marie-Mai, from Forcier to Dolan, from René Lévesque to Manon Massé, and from Jerrold to the iPad, casts a passionate and critical eye on culture, journalism, and its challenges. A book that offers a privileged glimpse into the rapid evolution of Quebec society over the last 40 years.

Les Éditions de La Presse Guy Latraverse: 50 years of Quebec showbiz
Guy Latraverse and Quebec showbiz are inseparable. His unwavering faith in local talent—including Jean-Pierre Ferland, Robert Charlebois, Yvon Deschamps, and Diane Dufresne—made him the biggest-time show producer in Quebec. The first to present a Quebec artist performing solo at Place des Arts, the Forum, and the Olympic Stadium, in addition to being involved in bringing major French stars to Quebec and producing numerous large-scale shows for stage and television, he was also a co-founder of ADISQ and the FrancoFolies. In his autobiography, this man of action tells his story simply: his successes and failures, his relationships with the various artists whose careers he managed or whose shows he produced, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. He speaks candidly about the bipolar disorder he suffers from and the impact it has had on his career and personal life, as well as the promise he made to himself to help thousands of Quebecers with bipolar disorder find hope through the Revivre Foundation.

Les Éditions de La Presse Taste buds for everyone! Aromatic winter cuisine - 200 recipes
The "Taste Buds for Everyone!" collection continues with the release of the second volume: Aromatic Winter Cuisine. Just like in Aromatic Autumn Cuisine, it features some 200 "classic" recipes with a Chartier twist, designed to fill our tables with new aromatic flavors and simplify our cooking. Through his exploration of harmonious flavor combinations, François Chartier has determined the aromatic profile of a multitude of dishes by isolating the dominant ingredient. For example, he breathes new life into a maple syrup pudding, sharing his new insights and recipe ideas with his collaborator, Stéphane Modat, who then adjusts and transforms the recipe. Since curry is in the same family as maple syrup, they suggest flavoring the classic maple syrup pudding with curry! This simple dish is transformed into a harmonious creation! Readers can thus give a new identity to their favorite recipes, thanks to the new aromatic synergies suggested by the authors. They will also be able to more easily achieve perfect pairings with liquids (wines, beers, sakes, spirits, etc.) thanks to suggestions that are easy for everyone to understand. With "Papilles pour tous!" (Taste Buds for Everyone!), readers will reinvent their everyday cooking with surprising ease. Say goodbye to food pairing headaches with "Papilles pour tous!"

Les Éditions de La Presse He could already see himself! : Aznavour and Quebec
In November 1948, a 24-year-old French artist arrived in Montreal. His name was Charles Aznavour. Encouraged by Édith Piaf, he came with his faithful companion Pierre Roche, hoping to fulfill one of his many engagements. While he was largely ignored in his native France, he experienced a true love affair with Quebec audiences. This unlikely love story is recounted by journalist Mario Girard. From the legendary cabaret Au Faisan Doré, where he enjoyed his first real triumph, to his final performance shortly before his death in 2018, Charles Aznavour remains the international artist who performed the most shows in this part of North America. This captivating account reveals the deep friendships he developed with Jacques Normand, Félix Leclerc, Raymond Lévesque, Serge Deyglun, Monique Leyrac, Denise Filiatrault, Dominique Michel, Robert Charlebois, Diane Dufresne, Lynda Lemay, and so many others. "I arrived here as a 'damned Frenchman,' but very quickly, I became almost a Quebecer," he once said with great pride.
