Food and Cultural Studies or Exotic Appetites

Food and Cultural Studies (Studies in Consumption and Markets)

Author: Bob Ashley

What and how we eat are two of the most persistent choices we face in everyday life. Whatever we decide on though, and however mundane our decisions may seem, they will be inscribed with information both about ourselves and about our positions in the world around us. Yet, food has only recently become a significant and coherent area of inquiry for cultural studies and the social sciences.

Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the interdisciplinary history of food studies from a cultural studies framework, from the semiotics of Barthes and the anthropology of Levi-Strauss to Elias' historical analysis and Bourdieu's work on the relationship between food, consumption and cultural identity. The authors then go on to explore subjects as diverse as food and nation, the gendering of eating in, the phenomenon of TV chefs, the ethics of vegetarianism and food, risk and moral panics.

This book is fascinating reading for students and academics studying both consumption and cultural studies morebroadly.

Exotic Appetites: Ruminations of a Food Adventurer

Author: Lisa M Heldk

Exotic Appetites is a far-reaching exploration of what Lisa Heldke calls "food adventuring": the passion, fashion and pursuit of experimentation with ethnic foods. The aim of Heldke's critique is to expose and explore the colonialist attitudes embedded in our everyday relationship and approach to foreign foods. Exotic Appetites brings to the table the critical literatures in postcolonialism, critical race theory, and feminism in a provocative and lively discussion of eating and "ethnic" cuisine. Chapters look closely at the meanings and implications involved in the quest for unusual restaurants and exotic dishes, related restaurant reviews and dining guides, and ethnic cookbooks.

Guide for the Greedy by a Greedy Woman (Library of Culinary Arts)

Author: Pennell

This is surely the most extraordinary book on food and eating ever published in the English language. Elizabeth Robins Pennell, who was a correspondent for the Pall Mall Gazette at the height of its fashionability, was obviously the inspiration of the "Two Fat Ladies." Beginning with an essay on the virtue of gluttony, it traverses past breakfast, sandwiches, dinner, supper, portage, soups, sole, oysters, partridge, salads, and savouries, coming sadly to an all-too-soon stop at cheese and coffee. Oh, but not forgetting a skirmish with the vegetables.

The Bloodless Revolution: A Cultural History of Vegetarianism from 1600 to Modern Times

Author: Tristram Stuart

"Magnificently detailed and wide-ranging."—Steven Shapin, The New Yorker

Hailed by critics on both sides of the Atlantic, The Bloodless Revolution is a pioneering history of puritanical revolutionaries, European Hinduphiles, and visionary scientists who embraced radical ideas from the East and conspired to overthrow Western society's voracious hunger for meat. At the heart of this compelling history are the stories of John Zephaniah Holwell, survivor of the Black Hole of Calcutta, and John Stewart and John Oswald, who traveled to India in the eighteenth century, converted to the animal-friendly tenets of Hinduism, and returned to Europe to spread the word. Leading figures of the Enlightenment—among them Rousseau, Voltaire, and Benjamin Franklin—gave intellectual backing to the vegetarians, sowing the seeds for everything from Victorian soup kitchens to contemporary animal rights and environmentalism.

Spanning across three centuries with reverberations to our current world, The Bloodless Revolution is a stunning debut from a young historian with enormous talent and promise, "draw[ing] the different strands of the subject together in a way that has never been done before" (Keith Thomas, author of Man and the Natural World). 24 pages of illustrations.

The Washington Post - Mark Kurlansky

Tristram Stuart's thought-provoking book is not a global history of this taboo. Instead, it revolves around the vegetarian movement that began in 17th-century England -- the name first came into use in the 1840s -- and that remains strong today. But there is nothing narrow about the author's focus. Both scholarly and entertaining, The Bloodless Revolution is a huge feast of ideas -- ideas from India and France and America, from ancient Greece and Thoreau and Emerson, from Rousseau, Hobbes, the Kabbalah, the Old Testament, Descartes and Darwin, to name just a few of the better-known sources that weigh in on the meatless diet.

Publishers Weekly

The word "vegetarian" wasn't coined until the 1840s, but Stuart's magisterial social history demonstrates how deeply seated the vegetarian impulse has been in Western culture since the 17th century. Thinkers such as Francis Bacon and Thomas Bushell contended that a vegetarian diet provided a key not only to long life but also to spiritual perfection: God had permitted Adam and Eve to eat only plants, fruits and seeds, and doing so could restore humankind to Edenic wholeness with nature. Seventeenth- and 18th-century travelers to India introduced the Hindu idea of ahimsa (the preservation of all life) as an ideal for a slaughter-free society. Stuart follows the development of vegetarianism through its Romantic proponents Shelley and Rousseau and on into the 19th century, when doctors proffered scientific evidence that human teeth and intestines were more similar to those of herbivores than of carnivores. Looking at literary culture, Stuart notes that Samuel Richardson, Mary Shelley and Jane Austen included vegetarian characters in their novels. Stuart offers a masterful social and cultural history of a movement that changed the ways people think about the food they eat. 24 pages of color illus., b&w illus. throughout. (Jan.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Kristin Whitehair - Library Journal

In his first book, historian and freelance writer Stuart explores the advocacy of vegetarianism by numerous individuals and groups in the West from 1600 to the present. Examining various vegetarian practices, he identifies common trends and beliefs while doing important work in highlighting connections between vegetarian advocates and political and social trends. Stuart also profiles influential individuals in the movement, providing historical context; for example, he thoroughly examines the beliefs and impact of 18th-century British vegetarian George Cheyne. Overall, this work is extensively researched and includes detailed descriptions of ideological arguments advocating vegetarianism. Though Stuart himself does not aim to promote vegetarianism, a pro-vegetarian viewpoint is evident throughout. With 24 pages of color illustrations; suitable for undergraduate and graduate readers.

Kirkus Reviews

An epic of non-carnivorous restraint. Stuart, a young British scholar, offers portraits of often little-known figures who would not eat anything with a mother or a face, and he blends these character studies with smart analyses of historical trends and the transmission of ideas. The earliest vegetarians in this account, from the 17th century, were mostly driven by religious ideas, though often with a strong scientific bent. For instance, Thomas Bushell, a disciple of the natural philosopher Francis Bacon, reasoned that, according to the Bible, humans lived to be 900 years old until after the Flood, when God gave them permission to eat meat, after which they started dying off at age 70; logic demanded that vegetarians therefore could live, if not to 900, to at least some greater age. To Judeo-Christian religious impulses, complicated by widespread contact with Hindu and other Indian ideas after the 17th century, were added ethical and proto-ecological arguments, with some maintaining that it was simply wrong to eat things that demonstrably had consciousness, and that creating feed for livestock was a wanton waste of natural resources. All these arguments are with us today, Stuart notes. Along the way, he identifies founding fathers of the self-help movement, including perhaps the first diet doctor in history. He looks into the ideas of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, moved by the rigor of Linnean science to argue that because women had only two breasts, as compared to, say, a wolf's many teats, our kind is likely not innately carnivorous: "Breasts," writes Stuart, "were not just symbols of gentle nourishment and innocence, they bore scientific testimony to humanity's original herbivorous nature."And he examines the effects of Darwinian theory on various strains of vegetarian thought, one of them the ideology propounded by Adolf Hitler, who seems to have thought that eating meat could "purify" him of any Jewishness flowing through his veins. Culinary and cultural history intertwined: readable, and endlessly interesting.

Taste of Dreams: An Obsession with Russia and Caviar

Author: Vanora Bennett

The Taste of Dreams is both a quest for the romantic Russia of the author's dreams, and a tale of amazement as she discovers and gets caught up in the new, anarchic Russia emerging from its Soviet constraints. At its heart is the story of caviar: beluga, the rarest type of sturgeon, harvested from the Caspian Sea. It is now an endangered species, and no one knows how—or wants—to stop the plunder. People kill for it.

Library Journal

London Times correspondent Bennett (Crying Wolf) has a foreigner's knack for catching Russia's contradictions. From the cramped living conditions in a land so vast to the gourmand attitude in a country of rations and long lines, she knows the tension among the government, the land, and the people, and how all three shape one another. Part memoir and part travelog, this book captures a lot about Russia, not least the sense that there is always something vaguely menacing just beyond view: the low-level radiation in vegetables, a burst of random gunfire in the distance, a sudden governmental decision to devalue the ruble, the disappearance of friends. Russia is a hard place to explain to people who haven't been there, but Bennett gets the feel of it right. Recommended for both public and academic libraries of all sizes.

Eating and Drinking in Roman Britain

Author: H E M Cool

What were the eating and drinking habits of the inhabitants of Britain during the Roman period? Drawing on evidence from a large number of archaeological excavations, this fascinating new study shows how varied these habits were in different regions and amongst different communities and challenges the idea that there was any one single way of being Roman or native. Integrating a range of archaeological sources, including pottery, metalwork and environmental evidence such as animal bone and seeds, this book illuminates eating and drinking choices, providing invaluable insights into how those communities regarded their world. The book contains sections on the nature of the different types of evidence used and how this can be analysed. It will be a useful guide to all archaeologists and those who wish to learn about the strength and weaknesses of this material and how best to use it.

Nimatnama Manuscript of the Sultans of Mandu or James McNairs Grill Cookbook

Ni'matnama Manuscript of the Sultans of Mandu: The Sultan's Book of Delights

Author: Norah M M Titley

The Ni'matnama is a late fifteenth-century book of recipes written for the Sultan of Mandu, in what is now Madhya Pradesh, India. It contains recipes for cooking a variety of delicacies and epicurean delights, as well as providing remedies and aphrodisiacs for Nasir ad-Din Shah of Mandu and his court. The text provides a unique account of courtly life in a fifteenth century Indian Sultanate and documents a fascinating stage in the history of Indian cookery.

There is only one copy of The Sultan's Book of Delights in existence, held in the Oriental and India Office Collections of the British Library (BL-Persian 149). The book manuscript is illustrated with fifty elegant miniature paintings, most of which show showing the Sultan observing the women of his court as they prepare and serve him various dishes. These illustrations are important historical art documents in their own right. Painted in a distinctive Shirazi (Southern Iranian) style, they are also stylistically influenced by indigenous styles ofbook painting found in Central and Western India, and are the earliest known example of miniature painting in an Islamic Deccani style.

For the first time, a facsimile of the original text is reproduced for a scholarly audience. Norah Titley, formerly assistant keeper, Oriental Collections at the British Library, has masterfully translated this unique book.

Wine and Conversation or Just 24 Days till Christmas

2009-02-11T09:57:00.000-08:00

Wine and Conversation

Author: Adrienne Lehrer

The vocabulary of wine is large and exceptionally vibrant -- from straight-forward descriptive words like "sweet" and "fragrant", colorful metaphors like "ostentatious" and "brash", to the more technical lexicon of biochemistry. The world of wine vocabulary is growing alongside the current popularity of wine itself, particularly as new words are employed by professional wine writers, who not only want to write interesting prose, but avoid repetition and cliche. The question is, what do these words mean? Can they actually reflect the objective characteristics of wine, and can two drinkers really use and understand these words in the same way?
In this second edition of Wine and Conversation, linguist Adrienne Lehrer explores whether or not wine drinkers (both novices and experts) can in fact understand wine words in the same way. Her conclusion, based on experimental results, is no. Even though experts do somewhat better than novices in some experiments, they tend to do well only on wines on which they are carefully trained and/or with which they are very familiar. Does this mean that the elaborate language we use to describe wine is essentially a charade? Lehrer shows that although scientific wine writing requires a precise and shared use of language, drinking wine and talking about it in casual, informal setting with friends is different, and the conversational goals include social bonding as well as communicating information about the wine. Lehrer also shows how language innovation and language play, clearly seen in the names of new wines and wineries, as well as wine descriptors, is yet another influence on the burgeoning and sometimes whimsical world of winevocabulary.

The Tea Ceremony and Women's Empowerment in Modern Japan (Anthropology of Asia Series): Bodies Re-presenting the Past

Author: Etsuko Kato

The subject of the tea ceremony is well researched both in and outside Japan, but the women who practice it are hardly ever discussed. The Tea Ceremony and Women's Empowerment in Modern Japan rectifies this by discussing the meaning of the Japanese tea ceremony for women practitioners in Japan from World War II to the present day. It examines how lay tea ceremony practitioners have been transforming this cultural activity whilst being, in turn, transformed by it.

Drawing on Foucault's concept of discipline and focusing primarily on the body, this book illuminates how female ceremony practitioners have empowered themselves through the unique way of using their bodies. In particular the book examines:

* The relationship between the tea ceremony and the body
* Myths surrounding the body
* Body discipline
* Postwar effects on the tea ceremony
* Tea ceremony networks
* Meaning of the ceremony in the lives of women

By combining anthropological observation with historical examination of the tea ceremony, this book radically revises mainstream discourses surrounding women and the tea ceremony in Japan. It will prove of interest to scholars of Japanese Studies, Gender Studies and anthropology alike.

The Essence of Style: How the French Invented High Fashion, Fine Food, Chic Cafes, Style, Sophistication, and Glamour!

Author: Joan DeJean

What makes fashionistas willing to pay a small fortune for a particular designer accessory -- a luxe handbag, for example? Why is it that people all over the world share the conviction that a special occasion only becomes really special when a champagne cork pops -- and even more special when that cork comes from a bottle of Dom Pérignon? Why are diamonds the status symbol gemstone, instantly signifying wealth, power, and even emotional commitment?

One of the foremost authorities on seventeenth-century French culture provides the answer to these and other fascinating questions in her account of how, at one glittering moment in history, the French under Louis XIV set the standards of sophistication, style, and glamour that still rule our lives today.

Joan DeJean explains how a handsome and charismatic young king with a great sense of style and an even greater sense of history decided to make both himself and his country legendary. When the reign of Louis XIV began, his nation had no particular association with elegance, yet by its end, the French had become accepted all over the world as the arbiters in matters of taste and style and had established a dominance in the luxury trade that continues to this day. DeJean takes us back to the birth of haute cuisine, the first appearance of celebrity hairdressers, chic cafes, nightlife, and fashion in elegant dress that extended well beyond the limited confines of court circles. And Paris was the magical center -- the destination of travelers all across Europe.

As the author observes, without the Sun King's program for redefining France as the land of luxury and glamour, there might never have been a Stork Club, a BergdorfGoodman, a Chez Panisse, or a Cristophe of Beverly Hills -- and President Clinton would never have dreamed of holding Air Force One on the tarmac of LAX for an hour while Cristophe worked his styling genius on the president's hair.

Written with wit, dash, and élan by an author who knows this astonishing true story better than virtually anyone, The Essence of Style will delight fans of history and everybody who wonders about the elusive definition of good taste.

The New York Times - William Grimes

In The Essence of Style, her effervescent account of the birth of French chic, Joan DeJean returns, again and again, to the idea that virtually everything associated with the high life today can be traced back to one man, whose tastes and desires transformed France into an international luxury brand.

Publishers Weekly

Not only do French women not get fat, they've led the world in style for the past 300 years. French historian DeJean's premise is simple yet wonderfully effective: largely because of one obsessive spendthrift, Louis XIV, France, in the late 17th century, became the arbiter of chic, a position from which it has never since faltered. Louis's outrageous vanity, sumptuous court and devotion to his own well-being led to growth in the manufacturing of fine clothing and shoes, and the invention of shops in which to buy them, and to celebrity cuisine, cafes and Champagne (a particularly amusing-and explosive-chapter). Louis was enthralled by glitter, which fostered a huge increase in the diamond trade; the theft of the Venetians' mirror-making secrets and subsequent rise of France as world leader in that field; and the first night streetlights (hence the "City of Lights"). Louis also abhorred mud (so streets were paved with cobblestones) and disliked getting wet (thus umbrellas were invented). This engaging history "lite"-to be published on Bastille Day-is a fun read despite its many Sex in the City references. Photos, illus. Agent, Alice Martell. (July 14) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

School Library Journal

Adult/High School-DeJean gives readers an entertaining and engrossing account of how and when France cornered the market on luxury. Beginning with a description of what life was like before Louis XIV ascended the throne in 1643, she then details the radical changes that occurred as he and his ministers redirected French manufactures toward the creation of new luxury items. Each of the various subjects she discusses has its own chapter that can stand alone; taken together they show how desire for style created new products and markets. Louis's sumptuous, constantly redesigned wardrobe was copied by his court. The interest in the elegant new styles led to the development of the fashion press. The magazines with their engravings (the original fashion plates) enthralled the common people, who wanted their own bit of glamour. The manufacture of luxury accessories allowed almost everyone to feel like a fashionista. Since women needed somewhere to show off their stylish clothes, the dark, smoky coffeehouses were replaced by elegant, glittering cafes with fine coffee and exquisite pastries. Teens who gather in modern cafes, flip through fashion magazines, and purchase designer bags will enjoy this book. They will also discover that Madison Avenue has nothing on 17th-century Paris.-Kathy Tewell, Fairfax County Public Library, VA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Andrew Weil—author of the bestselling Eating Well for Optimum Health—brings to this perfect collaboration a comprehensive philosophy of nutrition grounded in scientific fact. Rosie Daley brings to it her innovative style.

Their lively dialogue about ingredients and preparation makes clear that there are many approaches to creative, healthy cooking. Information is provided on such subjects as the real meaning of "organic," the safety of our water, the most health-giving oils, how much salt/sugar is good for us—and much more. There are tips on losing weight, developing good eating habits in children and nurturing seniors.

The Healthy Kitchen will forever change the way you cook for yourself and your family.

Publishers Weekly

What might at first seem a jumble of nutrition facts and recipes turns out to be a stimulating invitation to healthy, pleasurable eating. Well-known for his holistic approaches to physical and mental health, physician Weil (Eating Well for Optimum Health) loves good food. Not one to settle for bland albeit health-promoting fare, Weil insists that not only are low-fuss, delicious meals and good health more easily attainable than most Americans imagine, they actually go hand in hand. Coauthor and former Oprah Winfrey chef Daley (In the Kitchen with Rosie), provides recipes that, for the most part, reflect Weil's conception of the optimum diet. (Where they differ, Weil offers options.) Weil's introduction is a concise version of his dietary philosophy, with more advice scattered throughout the book. All of the 135 recipes include nutrition counts (calories, fat, cholesterol, etc.). According to Weil, eating has become yet another stressful activity that must be fit into jam-packed days. To remedy this, Weil and Daley not only offer satisfying recipes that make use of nourishing, readily available ingredients, they give tips on stocking the pantry, preparation, reading food labels and daily menu planning. Recipes include tempting twists on classics (eggs, grilled fish, pasta), to more adventurous items (broccoli pancakes). While miso, tofu and yogurt may not be appetizing to the meat-and-potatoes crowd, others willing to spread their culinary wings will find in these recipes and the authors' enthusiasm for good food a serious incentive to get their daily requirements of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. (Apr.) Forecast: With both Weil and Daley combining efforts, expect nothing but great sales. The book is a selection of BOMC, QPB, Literary Guild, Doubleday Book Club, One Spirit Book Club and The Good Cook. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Library Journal

This appealing collaboration (first printing, 750,000 copies) between Weil (Eating Well for Optimum Health) and Daley (In the Kitchen with Rosie: Oprah's Favorite Recipes) is filled with healthful recipes and information on topics ranging from growing herbs to wine to the Mediterranean diet. Recipes contain nutrition information, but this is not "diet food": recipes include Smoked Fish with Horseradish Sauce, Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Garlic, and Thai Shrimp and Papaya Salad. There are "Tips from Rosie's Kitchen" and boxes called "Andy Suggests" scattered throughout the text, and the authors don't always agree (Weil often opts for "more spice"; he doesn't eat chicken, but Daley does). Obviously an essential purchase; most libraries will want multiple copies. [Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 11/1/01; BOMC, Literary Guild, Good Cook, etc.] Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Lady in the Palazzo: At Home in Umbria

Author: Marlena De Blasi

With the breathless anticipation that seduced her readers to fall in love with Venice and then Tuscany, Marlena de Blasi now takes us on a new journey as she moves with her husband, Fernando, to Orvieto, a large and ancient city in Italy's Umbria. Having neither an edge to a sea nor a face to a foreign land, it's a region less trampled by travelers and, in turn, less accepting of strangers. So de Blasi sets out to establish her niche in this new place and to win over her new neighbors by doing what she does best, cooking her way into their hearts. (Her recipes are included.)

Rich with history and a vivid sense of place, her memoir is by turns romantic and sensual, joyous and celebratory, as she searches for the right balance in this city on the hill, as well as the right home—which turns out to be the former ballroom of a dilapidated sixteenth-century palazzo.

De Blasi meets and makes friends with an array of colorful, memorable characters, including cooks and counts and shepherds and a lone violinist, and their stories, too, become a part of the tapestry of life that she weaves for herself in Orvieto. With a voice full of wonder, she brings to life these engagingly quirky people and the aloof, almost daunting society that exists in Umbria. Not since Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence has a writer so happily succeeded in capturing the essence of a singular place and in creating a feast for readers of all stripes.

Publishers Weekly

Following A Thousand Days in Venice and A Thousand Days in Tuscany, de Blasi's new book, set in Orvieto, is ostensibly about her effort, with her Italian husband, first to find, then to renovate and at last to move into the ballroom of a splendid, dilapidated medieval palazzo. The renovation becomes an engrossing portrait of the town and some of its inhabitants. Nothing goes according to plan or schedule, but de Blasi uses the years (literally) of waiting to explore the life of the town, centering on the home-based caff -kitchen of her friend Miranda and the caff 's patrons. De Blasi's exuberance and her American disregard of Italian class distinctions at times distress her new friends and also her husband, but eventually, almost by accident, she pulls off a coup of diplomatic d tente just after they finally set up housekeeping in the palazzo. Vvid writing and an affectionate appreciation of the sounds, scenes and flavors of Italy, as well as of the somewhat eccentric Umbrians she meets, will charm lovers of that country. (Jan. 26) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

De Blasi's book will make you hungry, and that's a good thing. The latest gastronomic adventure from the author of A Thousand Days in Venice brings to life an Italian culture steeped in culinary tradition and social eccentricity. De Blasi's narrative focuses on the city of Orvieto a city "built on wine" in Italy's Umbria, where she and her husband, Fernando, search for a home and find one: a former ballroom in a 15th-century palazzo. Her exploration of her new life in Orvieto is meal-centered, showing us mouth-watering community feasts, fascinating culinary traditions did you know that polenta should only be stirred clockwise? and quirky characters who help pass the time between espressos and the construction in the author's home. Recipes are included, so in the end, de Blasi's Umbria may or may not be a place you need to visit, but, thanks to this book, it will already be a place that you have "tasted" and "seen." Recommended for public libraries. Mari Flynn, Keystone Coll., La Plume, PA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews

A third sumptuous volume about the author's quest to find a home in Italy. After A Thousand Days in Venice (2002) and A Thousand Days in Tuscany (2004), de Blasi and her husband move to Umbria, a place where "stories and sins are passed down like sets of silver." There, they enter into a complex, decidedly Italian contract with a local family, the storied Ubaldini, who own a grand, decrepit palazzo. The couple will pony up money to repair the old building, then move in for a few years of rent-free living. While the palazzo is being made habitable, they set up house in a charming cottage-charming, that is, except for the mold and the absence of a kitchen, which poses quite a challenge for the gourmand author. In describing this new life in Umbria, de Blasi follows the formula of her two earlier books, and it works like a tried-and-true recipe. The local eccentrics (and all the locals are eccentric, of course) are charming and sometimes speak real wisdom, though not so often as to be precious. When one of de Blasi's friends cautions her that "Most all of us abide in ruins. . . . Our own, the ones we inherit," he is speaking about more than old houses. The food, of course, is an epicurean's fantasy. The author prepares and includes the recipes for "rustic, refined" dishes like pan-sauteed pears with pecorina and brown-sugar gelato with caramelized blood oranges. In her hands, food also becomes the stuff of metaphor and simile: Her eye shadow is a dab of milk chocolate, she flicks away fatigue "like crumbs of old cake," walls are red like pomegranate seeds. De Blasi is a skilled, quirky writer; her prose is by turns reserved, rococo, earthy and, above all, fresh-fresh, like rich cream andstrawberries, she might say. Delicious.

Leah Chase or Food for Thought

2009-01-21T15:29:00.000-08:00

Leah Chase: Listen, I Say Like This

Author: Carol Allen

Leah Chase thinks she's like everybody else. She's not. She doesn't think the things she does are out of the ordinary. They are. She is an ordinary person who has struggled quietly and persistently for years, believing in herself and her fellow human beings, with faith that she can improve her world. The story of Leah Chase is the story of a black Creole girl raised in Madisonville, Louisiana, who defied the accepted conventions for women at the time and grew into a woman to be reckoned with. In her roles at the helm of the Dooky Chase Restaurant (one of the most famous Creole restaurants in the country), as a nationally respected patron of the arts, and as a community and civic leader, she has grown to the level of folk hero in both the black and white communities of New Orleans. Leah Chase is a living legend far beyond the boundaries of the city. Leah Chase is a woman who speaks her mind. Her tremendous personal strength and deep religious faith have carried her through the sudden loss of her daughter, a bombing during the Civil Rights era, and boycotts, and have helped keep the peace in her marriage. Told in part in her own words, and through the reflections of others, Leah Chase: Listen, I Say Like This shares the events that have shaped the life of this woman and how she has, in turn, shaped the life of her community. Reading her story inspires one to think, "If she can do it, maybe I can too."

Chocolate On The Brain: Foolproof Recipes for Unrepentant Chocoholics

Author: Kevin Mills

For all those who crave chocolate but don't have time to get a degree in pastry making, this book will hit the spot. CHOCOLATE ON THE BRAIN contains more than one hundred recipes to satisfy the most profound lust, from Instant Chocolate Mousse Fix to "weapons-grade" extravaganzas like Cherry-Chocolate Truffle Pie and You-Deserve-It Fudge Cake. There are cookies and brownies, pies and tarts, puddings and mousses, and simple candies, sauces, and drinks. There are even recipes to start a chocoholic's day off right, including Chocolate Chip Mini-Bagels, Chocolate-Filled Baby Brioches, and Orange-Chocolate Breakfast Cake. With helpful "Mom Tips" and "Mom Warnings" and a zany timeline highlighting events in chocolate history, this is the perfect gift for all those who agree that when it comes to chocolate, more is more.

Publishers Weekly

The quirky mother-and-son team of the Help! My Apartment Has a Kitchen Cookbook is back with unsophisticated yet satisfying treats for the end of the meal. These chocolate desserts are about as far from haute cuisine as you can get: they're gooey and sweet, and most can be produced quickly (a handy index ranks the recipes by preparation time). There's nothing new about Almost Flourless Chocolate Cake or Triple Chocolate Brownies, but the tone here is cheery and appealing. Clearly, any book that gives recipes for Chocolate Pizza and Brownie Fudge Pie is not meant to be a comprehensive volume along the lines of Nick Malgieri's Chocolate, but a brief overview that includes quick fixes for those who eat straight from the Nutella jar. Kevin Mills contributes an introduction that begins, "I don't trust people who say they don't like chocolate," while Nancy Mills is a little more subdued in her "Mom Tips," which include time-saving suggestions like using bottled lemon juice in Chocolate-Lovers' Lemon Squares. A few lengthier recipes, such as Chocolate-Filled Baby Brioches, are challenging, but mostly this is unabashedly geared to beginners. (Oct.) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

As the wife of Maryland Governor J. Millard Tawes, she spent many hours "experimenting' in her kitchen, perfecting the familiar recipes and refining them for the busy modern homemaker. The result was a book, first published in 1964, that blended traditional favorites - from Sweet Pickled Watermelon and Mama's Chow Chow to Maryland Beaten Biscuits, Sweet and Easy Corn Pudding, and Panned Oysters - with elegant dishes served to guests at the governor's mansion, such as Maryland's Finest Crab Imperial, Diamondback Terrapin Soup, Superb Stuffed Shad, and Lady Baltimore Cake.

From British writer Colin Fraser comes his own inspiring, beautifully written true story about winemaking in Italy. Fraser found and purchased a piece of abandoned land with a derelict house in the beautiful Sabine Hills northeast of Rome. He transformed it into a successful property, planting a vineyard and learning (already in middle age) to create respectable wines in a part of Italy that had never produced any before. Fraser describes growing grapes and making wine, the frustrations of operating under the Italian bureaucracy and its legislation, peasant conservatism, and his struggle to introduce more modern ways into the winemaking process.

Coffee and Coffee Houses

Author: Ulla Heis

Here's a whole new insight on that part of the day so common we usually take it for granted. In 1511 the first of many decrees had been issued banning coffee consumption, but nothing could halt the spread of the drink. The replacement for morning soup originated in Abyssinia, and rapidly made its way via Mecca and Istanbul to nearly every countryÑa worldwide epidemic of coffeemania. Coffee plantations spread over four continents, and coffee became the subject of political and social conflict on an international scale. It also created a new institution: the coffee-houseÑa meeting place of the various social strata, creating a cultural forum. Coffee-houses from around the world and down the ages are introduced and described here in terms of their cultural and historical significanceÑthe coffee stall, the taverne a la mode, the coffee salon, the Cafe-Konditorei, the luxury cafe, the political coffee-house, the artists' cafe, the proletarian coffee-house, the ЋmigrЋ cafe, coffee bar, jazz cafe, the cafe theater and many others. Pour your own steaming mug and take the time to enjoy this fascinating exploration.

Good Bottled Beer Guide or Epidemiology and Foodborne Illness

Epidemiology and Foodborne Illness

Author: Tamar Lasky

Epidemiology has long played a critical role in investigating outbreaks of foodborne illness and in identifying the microbial pathogens associated with such illness. Epidemiologists were the detectives who would track down the guilty culprit- the food vehicle carrying the pathogen, as well as the fateful errors that resulted in contamination or multiplication of pathogens. The first book of its kind, this volume describes the various ways epidemiologic principles are applied to meet the challenges of maintaining a safe food supply. It addresses both the prevention and control of food borne illness. Starting with a history and background of food borne illness, the book continues by describing the means of following up on an outbreak and measuring exposures. The book concludes by describing the regulatory context that shapes food safety activities at the local, national and international levels. Chapters are written by leaders in the field of public health and food safety, including experts in epidemiology, microbiology, risk assessment, economics, and environmental health and policy. This is the definitive book for students, researchers and professionals interested in how epidemiology plays a role in keeping our food safe.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer:Radford Davis, DVM, MPH(Iowa State University)
Description:This book covers the broad topic of food safety and related subtopics from an epidemiologic perspective, lending a fresh perspective to an important field. While traditional epidemiological areas such as outbreak investigations and tracebacks are covered, the book also addresses risk assessment, data quality, and consumption patterns, in addition to more traditional topics such as HACCP, that anyone involved with keeping safe a food supply or working within the public health field would find very useful.
Purpose:The purpose is to familiarize readers with the importance of epidemiological principles in food safety, beyond the traditional role of outbreak investigations, and to apply them to such areas as prevention, policy, and risk assessment. This is a simple extension of what epidemiology is capable of and makes for sound science in meeting the needs of food safety today. The contributing authors do an overall fine job of meeting the objectives.
Audience:The book is written for epidemiologists unfamiliar with food safety and for food safety professionals unfamiliar with epidemiology. While epidemiologists will find some of the chapters more of a review, other chapters cover topics with which epidemiologists may not be readily familiar, such as risk assessment and food processing. It would also be very useful to students of food safety, including veterinary students. The editor and major author carries both the credentials and food safety experience necessary to lend authority to this book.
Features:Although the book covers some topics one might expectin a text on food safety, it also offers readers an argument of epidemiology's greater role in food safety through chapters on risk assessment, surveillance, societal costs of food-borne illnesses, measuring intake of contaminants, and the application of chronic disease epidemiological principles to food safety. Chapters on food processing, production, handling, and preparation are lean, but such topics are covered at great length in other books. The uniqueness of this book lies in how it demonstrates that epidemiology is inextricably linked to nearly all aspects of food safety, not just food-borne illness investigations. The editor purposefully steers clear of the topic of intentional contamination of food. Overall, the book would benefit from the inclusion of more and better quality illustrations and expanded discussions on food processing and production. There are a few typos. The use of case studies in the discussion of foodborne outbreaks is helpful and reflective of real-world events.
Assessment:This book offers a unique take on the field of food safety and makes us rethink how we should approach it. Despite some minor redundancy with other books in the areas of foodborne pathogens and food processing (Foodborne Microorganisms of Public Health Significance, 6th edition, Hocking (AIFST, 2003) and Food Safety: Old Habits, New Perspectives (ASM Press, 2007)) as well as in general epidemiological principles, this book is worth purchasing for its unique ability to conflate epidemiology and food safety into a meaningful, convincing, and concise volume.

Japanese Way of Tea: From Its Origins in China to Sen Rikyu

Author: Sen XV Soshitsu

The author follows tea drinking practices from their arrival in Japan to the time of Rikyu, considering at each stage the relevant historical changes and their significance for the Way of Tea. Shortly after its arrival during the Heian era (794-1185), tea was celebrated by Japanese poets, who attributed the same spiritual qualities to the beverage as had their Chinese contemporaries. During the medieval era, however, tea began to take on a distinctively Japanese character. Eisai (1141-1215), the founder of the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism, accentuated the medicinal aspect of tea and saw it as a means of salvation in a spiritually degenerate age (mappo).

Taste of the Past or Open Heart Open Home

2009-01-12T13:04:00.000-08:00

Taste of the Past: The Daily Life and Cooking of a Nineteenth-Century Hungarian-Jewish Homemaker

Author: Andras Koerner

A Taste of the Past is an entertaining reconstruction of the daily life and household of Therese (Riza) Baruch (1851-1938), the great-grandmother of the author, Andras Koerner. Based on an unusually complete cache of letters, recipes, personal artifacts, and eyewitness testimony, Koerner describes in loving detail the domestic life of a nineteenth-century Hungarian Jewish woman, with special emphasis on the meals she served her family.

Based on Riza's letters, part one offers an imaginative sketch of growing up in a religious middle-class family in the 1860s and 70s in an industrial town in western Hungary. Part one also describes Riza's reactions to the dilemmas posed by the early signs of Jewish assimilation. In part two, the heart of the book, Riza has married, moved to a smaller town near the Austrian border, and become the central figure of a large household. Koerner recreates a typical day in the life of Riza and her family, peppering his narrative with recipes of the food she served for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon coffee-and-cake, and the much more modest evening meal.

Riza's family was religious, and Koerner also describes the special foods (pike in sour aspic, cholent, apple-matzo kugel, and much more) she served to celebrate the Sabbath and the six major Jewish holidays. Short introductions to the recipes describe the evolution of the dishes through the centuries, their role in Jewish culture, and how cultural influences and religious traditions shaped Riza's cooking.

More than 125 evocative pen-and-ink illustrations bring Riza's story and her food to life. A Taste of the Past offers an enchanting look at Jewish daily life in westernHungary in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a time when middle-class Jews were increasingly assimilated into mainstream Hungarian life and culture. Such small-town Jewish life had completely disappeared due to the Holocaust. Koerner's book revives this lost world and invites the reader to be a guest in Riza's house to watch her caring for her family, shopping, cooking, and preparing for the holidays. By offering easy-to-follow updated versions of her recipes, the book also allows readers to savor Riza's dishes and desserts in their own kitchens, thus completing this experience of a visit to the past.

The Healing Foods: The Ultimate Authority on the Creative Power of Nutrition

Author: Patricia Hausman

The Knopf Canada Book of Healing Foods is a guide for everyday living, and the fastest way to understand how the foods you eat can help to heal, and help you remain healthy.

There's a healing food for almost every common health problem - from colds, stress, insomnia and high blood pressure to more complicated illnesses - and most are as close as your local grocer. Healing Foods is an indispensable guide to choosing the best foods for an active life - a bright and friendly market of knowledge that makes the time you spend at the dinner table an investment in spirited living.

In beautiful colour, it also highlights health-giving foods and their nutritional and medicinal benefits. Information on buying, storing and preparing healing foods is clearly listed, and each item - from pineapples and chilies to almonds and apricots - is linked to delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes from around the world.

A questionnaire helps you assess your diet and general health to pinpoint problem areas, while a section on ailments and treatments makes it easy to address individual concerns. Fully indexed, illustrated throughout in full colour, Healing Foods is a goldmine of information and recipes to treasure.

Publishers Weekly

Hausman ( The Calcium Bible ) and Hurley, food columnist for Prevention magazine, have written an alphabetical compendium of more than 100 foods (from bulgar to carrots) and the diseases or physical conditions that are helped or hindered by diet. The authors identify scientific and quasi-scientific links between food and disease-prevention, and offer helpful buying, preparation and cooking tips. Also provided are easy-to-understand nutritional charts, lists of food sources for vitamins and minerals, recipes and menu plans. In exalting the benefits to health of variety in eating, however, the authors neglect certain considerations. For example, they make no mention of the potential dangers in eating pollution-contaminated fish (especially swordfish or tuna), or the risk of hepatitis in eating raw clams, and dismiss too quickly the potential health hazards of estrogen replacement therapy when discussing ways to prevent osteoporosis in pre-menopausal women. A suggested reading list and citations for studies discussed here would have been useful to readers hungry for more information or left less than convinced. Illustrations not seen by PW. (May)

The Green Witch Herbal: Restoring Nature's Magic in Home, Health, & Beauty Care

Author: Barbara Griggs

As we seek more natural alternatives to harsh synthetic products, we are learning a new and healthy respect for the traditional wisdom our ancestors took for granted. Women are rediscovering their foremothers' "green witchcraft"--the use of flowers, leaves, berries, roots, and barks in home and garden, for hygiene and beauty, for pleasure and for health. Now, that lore may be found in this modern source book of the domestic use of herbs. Full of practical advice and fascinating historical insights, this delightful book shows you how to tap into the astonishing power of plants and herbs.

Includes recipes for a variety of remedies and personal care products, and devotes a chapter to the creative use of herbs in the kitchen for cooking and as natural cleansers and disinfectants.

Griggs' best-selling and widely-praised Green Pharmacy is considered the standard work on the history of herbal medicine.

The Spice Route: A History

Author: John Keay

The Spice Route is one of history's greatest anomalies: shrouded in mystery, it existed long before anyone knew of its extent or configuration. Spices came from lands unseen, possibly uninhabitable, and almost by definition unattainable; that was what made them so desirable. Yet more livelihoods depended on this pungent traffic, more nations participated in it, more wars were fought for it, and more discoveries resulted from it than from any other global exchange. Epic in scope, marvelously detailed, laced with drama, The Spice Route spans three millennia and circles the world to chronicle the history of the spice trade. With the aid of ancient geographies, travelers' accounts, mariners' handbooks, and ships' logs, John Keay tells of ancient Egyptians who pioneered maritime trade to fetch the incense of Arabia, Graeco-Roman navigators who found their way to India for pepper and ginger, Columbus who sailed west for spices, de Gama, who sailed east for them, and Magellan, who sailed across the Pacific on the exact same quest. A veritable spice race evolved as the west vied for control of the spice-producing islands, stripping them of their innocence and the spice trade of its mystique. This enthralling saga, progressing from the voyages of the ancients to the blue-water trade that came to prevail by the seventeenth century, transports us from the dawn of history to the ends of the earth.

Cookies: 1,001 Mouthwatering Recipes from around the World

Author: Editors of Readers Digest

Here is the ultimate cookie book, with more than 1,000 recipes. This treasury of cookie baking will appeal to all tastes from simple to sophisticated. This beautifully photographed cookbook has easy-to-follow instructions that will make this an invaluable addition to any baker's collection. Each recipe has been kitchen-tested-along with helpful hints and tips-to make cookie baking fun and foolproof.

Publishers Weekly

This hulking volume impresses with its breadth-home bakers could make a different cookie every weekend for 19 years and never repeat a recipe-but that range does come at a price. All kinds of cookies are represented: drop cookies, rolled cookies, brownies, icebox cookies, tea cakes, macaroons and more, with a strong showing of European favorites, and there are umpteen variations on standards (e.g., 12 versions of madeleines, small spongelike cookies baked in shell-shaped molds, and 27 orange-based cookies). However, small print and a lack of introductory notes to most recipes will deter some readers. Without a header, how are readers to know what Bran Cookies might taste like? Brandy Butter Shortbread's introduction says it's "A wonderfully rich Christmas treat," yet the following two recipes-Almond Shortbread with Blackberry Topping and Chocolate Chip Shortbread-offer no explanations on when bakers might opt for them instead, or what they might pair these desserts with. The copious photos are inspiring; the cookies-especially the Smiling Face Cookies and Cookie Hands-look homemade and attainable by most bakers (each recipe has a level of difficulty, and most are fairly easy). Helpful sidebars show progressive photos of the steps involved in such processes as making biscotti and rolling sugar cookies. This vast confection catalogue will motivate serious bakers. Casual cookie-makers, however, might be overwhelmed. (Nov.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

This big book offers hundreds of recipes for cookies both familiar and unusual, from Snickerdoodles to Swedish Spritskransar, accompanied by dozens of color photographs. Unfortunately, the full-page color photos are overhead shots taken in such extreme close-up as to inspire vertigo; with headnotes provided for only a fraction of them, the array of recipes also becomes somewhat dizzying. It would have been helpful to have a note identifying Crunchy Crags, for example, and descriptions of the textural and flavor differences among the numerous variations on different cookie themes. Nancy Baggett's The International Cookie Cookbook (o.p.), the standard on the topic, offers fewer recipes but in a far more accessible, reader-friendly format. For comprehensive baking collections.

North American Pinot Noir or Cooking with the Diabetic Chef

2009-01-07T20:29:00.000-08:00

North American Pinot Noir

Author: John Winthrop Haeger

Pinot noir, the famously elegant, sexy, and capricious red grape of Burgundy, is finally producing impressive wines in North America. Credit talented winemakers, enthusiastic restaurateurs, and consumers in search of alternatives to cabernet and zinfandel. Considered perhaps the ultimate food wine, pinot noir has an allure based on its special combination of aromas, flavors, and mouthfeel; on its legendary capacity to reflect the terroir where it is grown; and on its reputation for being hard to grow and make. This is the definitive work on pinot noir in North America. A comprehensive reference for winemakers and aficionados as well as a sourcebook for casual enthusiasts, it includes extensive historical and viticultural background on pinot noir in the New World and profiles of six dozen prominent producers in California, Oregon, British Columbia, and New York.
John Winthrop Haeger, known for his perceptive wine writing for more than fifteen years, gives contextual and comparative information about pinot noir in Burgundy and then tells the story of wine producers' early failures, frustrations, and breakthroughs in North America. He discusses plant genetics and clones, identifies the essential conditions for really good pinot, tells where the best wines are grown and made, and analyzes the factors that determine wine styles and signatures. In the second part of the book, he presents detailed producer profiles with accessibly written tasting notes on recent and mature vintages. A final section covers glassware, vintages, wine and food pairings, and other matters of interest to consumers. Maps prepared especially for this book cover all the major pinot-producing regions in NorthAmerica.

Library Journal

Hoping to re-create the legendary wines of Burgundy, France, vintners around the world have long tried to grow the finicky pinot noir grape. Until now, they have had little success. Pioneers in California, Oregon, Washington, and Canada have turned the tide by planting grapes in areas with ideal microclimates and experimenting with growing and winemaking methods. In his comprehensive work, former Wine & Spirits columnist Haeger documents the people, procedures, competitions, failures, events, and future trends that characterize this development. While many readers will appreciate the academic research and detail that make up the first half, wine connoisseurs will delight in Hager's descriptive tasting notes for dozens of selected pinot noir producers. A small section on buying, storing, and pairing pinot noir with food is also included. Libraries that passed on William Echikson's recent Noble Rot: A Bordeaux Wine Revolution because of its French focus should definitely consider this book. An essential purchase for special collections.--Andrea R. Dietze, Orange Cty. P.L., Santa Ana, CA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Cooking with the Diabetic Chef: Expert Chef Chris Smith Shares His Secrets to Creating More than 150 Simply Delicious Meals for Peop

Author: Chris Smith

Many cookbooks for people with diabetes are written by nutritionists or dietitians, but while those books might present well-balanced and nutritional recipes, they often fail to focus on recipes that are flavorful and easy to prepare. Author Chris Smith is not only a trained restaurant chef and a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America--but he is also a person with diabetes.

You will find more than 150 recipes--everything from appetizers to entrees to desserts--arranged by season so that the freshest ingredients can always be used. You will also discover a simple and convenient way to organize meals up to a month in advance using the Diabetic Chef's unique meal planner.

Library Journal

Chef Smith was diagnosed with Type I diabetes while attending the Culinary Institute of America and interning at a four-star hotel. After teaching cooking seminars for diabetics, Smith developed this marvelous book for the discriminating palates of the diabetic population. Mouthwatering recipes are divided by season to reflect the abundance of fresh foods available at different times of year. Emphasis is placed on the use of the freshest meats and vegetables for optimum flavor. All ingredients should be easily found at any grocery store, and instructions are clear, concise, and easy to follow. Complete dietary data, including exchanges, are included with each recipe. The bulk of the recipes are for meats, main dishes, and vegetables, with a smattering for salads and desserts. Some condiments are also included, as are chef's hints and definitions of food terms (fat free, nonfat, low fat, etc.). A wonderful addition to any collection.--Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hosp., Tampa, FL Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

The Minimalist Cooks Dinner or Cocina de la familia

The Minimalist Cooks Dinner: More than 100 Recipes for Fast Weeknight Meals and Casual Entertaining

Author: Mark Bittman

Back with another splendid collection, America’s most popular cooking authority and author of How to Cook Everything, presents more than 100 fast, sophisticated main courses for home cooks of every skill level.

The Minimalist Cooks Dinner showcases Mark Bittman’s signature ease and imagination, and focuses on center-of-the-plate main dishes. And, in this new volume, he also provides recipes for classic, versatile side dishes as well as recommendations for wine and food pairings. With a majority of its main dish recipes taking less than thirty minutes to prepare, this is truly the book every busy cook has been waiting for. Every recipe in The Minimalist Cooks Dinner is big on flavor, drawing on the global pantry and international repertoire that sets Bittman apart.

This inventive collection offers a refreshing new take on standards, along with ideas that will inspire both novices and experienced home cooks to branch out, making it the perfect solution for weeknight after-work meals or elegant weekend dinner parties. From Steamed Chicken Breasts with Scallion-Ginger Sauce to Korean-Style Beef Wrapped in Lettuce Leaves to Roast Fish with Meat Sauce, Bittman banishes the ordinary with an exciting range of choices. Also covering hearty pasta dishes, steaks, pork, veal, lamb, chicken, and a wide assortment of seafood, The Minimalist Cooks Dinner is the answer when you’re looking for “satisfying dishes with a minimum of effort.”

About the Author: Mark Bittman is the creator and author of the popular weekly New York Times column “The Minimalist,” and a frequent contributor to the newspaper’s Dining InDining Out section. His previous books include The Minimalist Cooks at Home (winner of an IACP Award), How to Cook Everything (a four-time award winner, with more than 400,000 copies in print), Fish (winner of an IACPJulia Child Cookbook Award) and, with Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Jean-Georges: Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef (winner of a James Beard Award) and Simple to Spectacular. He lives in Connecticut.

Publishers Weekly

Recipes from the past two years of "The Minimalist," Bittman's widely read weekly food column in the New York Times, shape this latest collection from the author of the phenomenally popular How to Cook Everything. Cementing his reputation for quick, uncomplicated and rewardingly tasty fare within reach of any cook, Bittman overflows with inspiration in the basic recipes and in the suggestions that can be undertaken "With Minimal Effort" accompanying each one. For example, tinkering with Vichyssoise with Garlic, he proposes adding tomato and basil as one variation. To speed up a pasta meal, why not cook Pasta, Risotto Style? Adding stock a ladle at a time to a cut pasta yields a creamy dish without having to wait for a gallon of water to boil. Black Skillet Mussels couldn't be easier: heat a heavy skillet, add mussels and, when they open, eat. Suggested variations include a side sauce of butter, Tabasco and lemon juice. Combining unusual flavors comes naturally to Bittman, as in Roast Fish with Meat Sauce or Pot Roast with Cranberries, in which the meat quickly caramelizes with its dusting of sugar. Chicken-Mushroom "Cutlets" with Parmesan are basically chickenburgers gussied up temptingly with parmesan, porcini and garlic. The headnotes are much shorter than those in last year's The Minimalist Cooks at Home, but each recipe now brings pointers in the form of "Keys to Success" as well as suggested wines. Cooks with discerning tastes but little time will be very glad to add this to their library. (On-sale Sept. 11) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

Library Journal

The Minimalist Cooks at Home, Bittman's first cookbook from his weekly New York Times column, included recipes for all courses of a meal. This time, he concentrates on easy main courses, but he includes serving suggestions for rounding out the meal, as well as a chapter on salads and side dishes. The recipes are generally sophisticated but undemanding with their trademark short ingredients lists; for those with a bit more time or the inclination to experiment, variations are provided for each recipe under the heading "With Minimal Effort." Wine (or beer) suggestions are also included. Sure to be in demand. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Cocina de la familia: Mas de 200 recetas autenticas de las cocinas caseras Mexico-Americanas

Author: Marilyn Tausend

For three years, Marilyn Tausend traveled across the United States and Mexico, talking to hundreds of Mexican and Mexican-American cooks. With the help of chef Miguel Ravago, Tausend tells the tale of these cooks, all of whom have adapted the family dishes and traditions they remember to accommodate a life considerably different from the lives of their parents and grandparents. In these pages you will find the real food eaten every day by Mexican-American families, whether they live in cities such as Los Angeles or Chicago, the border towns of Texas and Arizona, the farming communities of the Pacific Northwest, or the isolated villages of New Mexico and Colorado. Now you can re-create the vibrant flavors and rustic textures of this remarkable cuisine in your own kitchen. Most of the recipes are quite simple, and the more complex dishes, like moles and tamales, can be made in stages. So take a savory expedition across borders and generations, and celebrate the spirit and flavor of the Mexican-American table with your own family.

Library Journal

These two excellent new collections featuring contemporary Latin American cooking in the United States complement each other nicely. Tausend, coauthor with Susanna Palazuelos and others of Mexico the Beautiful (LJ 11/15/91), traveled throughout the country seeking the simple, traditional dishes that second- and third-generation Mexican Americans are cooking for everyday meals, recipes from their mothers and grandmothers. With Ravago, former chef/owner of Austin's Fonda San Miguel, she presents a broad selection of mouthwatering recipes, for both more familiar dishes such as Crispy Chicken Tacos and unusual ones like Pork and Purslane Stew. Tausend writes well, and headnotes include background on the various dishes as well as on the contributor. Highly recommended. Novas and Silva's more wide-ranging book draws on the diversity of Latin American cooking from 26 different nationalities in this country. Although the authors include homey, traditional dishes, they offer more sophisticated and elegant recipes from both home cooks and chefs, often in the cross-cultural nuevo style: New Southwestern Gnocchi di Patate, for example. The knowledgeable headnotes give culinary and cultural context for each recipe, often describing similar dishes from other Latin American countries, and more "exotic" ingredients are identified in glossary sections scattered throughout the book. Highly recommended. [There is also a Spanish-language edition, La Cocina Latinomericana en Los Estados Unidos, ISBN 0-679-44803-9.Ed.]

Fields of Plenty: A Farmer's Journey in Search of Real Food and the People Who Grow It

Author: Michael Ableman

In the face of supersizing and a fast-food nation, a growing community of organic farmers and food artisans are producing sustainable nourishment that is respectful to the land and rich in heritage, flavor, and passion. In Fields of Plenty, respected farmer, teacher, and ecology advocate Michael Ableman seeks out these innovative and committed farmers to reveal how the fruits of those who till the soil go beyond taste. From Knolls farm in California, famous for succulent figs tree-ripened to perfection, to an urban farm in Chicago that sustains an entire community, his odyssey takes him to farmers who are trying to answer questions of sustenance philosophically and, most importantly, in practice. Illustrated with evocative color photographs of the land and the people who work it, and accompanied by a bountiful selection of recipes, this beautifully written memoir reveals the power of food as a personal and cultural force.

Publishers Weekly

Ableman chronicles his three-month journey across the U.S., during which he meets fellow farmers (he's also an author, photographer and executive director of an urban agricultural center in California) and strives to "reassure [himself] that abundance is enhanced, not sacrificed, by humane and sustainable practices." He brings along son Aaron; the two leave their family and farm in British Columbia to share wonder and wisdom with farmers nationwide. They stay at farms and learn their hosts' growing methods and family stories. Ableman's musings range from the changing seasons to the political challenges of small-scale farming. Recipes close each chapter; lucky Ableman sampled the dishes in the company of the people who grew the ingredients, from Anthony and Carol Boutard, who grow Charentais melons in Oregon, to Eli Zabar, who has a half-acre of greenhouses atop buildings on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Although this book may be a bit too dense for those not familiar with alternative agriculture, it is easy enough for anyone to read a few sections at a time, taking their pick of memoir, food writing, farming history and technique, and recipes.

Good Housekeeping Soups Stews or Whats for Dinner

Good Housekeeping Soups & Stews: 150 Delicious Recipes

Author: Staff of Good Housekeeping

Easy to make, full of flavor, simple to freeze, and as delicious reheated as fresh, soups and stews are a home cook’s best friend. Good Housekeeping has assembled a wonderful collection of simple, healthy, triple-tested recipes to warm up every mealtime. Grab a spoon for chunky chowders and gumbos. Satisfy your taste buds with satiny smooth bisques and clear consommés. Roasted Chile and Tomatillo Stew will delight vegetarians; Hungarian Pork Goulash makes a fabulous main dish; and Fruit Soup with Coconut Sorbet finishes dinner in style. In addition, the magazine’s food experts offer smart tips on preparation, planning ahead, buying and choosing ingredients, and adjusting a recipe’s taste to your personal preferences.

Susan Hurst - Library Journal

This collection includes vegetables, chicken, beef, pork and lamb, fish and shellfish, pasta and beans, and chilled and fruit soups. Most sections include both lighter soups and heartier stews. While many are the long-simmering creations we associate with the genre, others take advantage of deli items, ramen noodles, or other conveniences to make a quick meal. Some are also designed for the Crock-Pot, and many of those that aren't could easily be adapted by slow-cooker users. The recipes are laid out nicely, and the spiral binding allows the book to lie flat when open. Not all recipes are illustrated, but those that are feature close-up photos that show the dishes off to real advantage. Overall, what you would expect from Good Housekeeping: well-tested, not too complicated recipes at a reasonable price. Recommended for large cookery collections or where there is interest.

Author: Barbara Lesli

How can the same grapes make two different wines? Can you tell what a wine tastes like by reading the label? By understanding wine, you can drink better wine.

Even the glass you drink wine out of can enhance the experience. With some basic guidance, being a wine connoisseur is as easy as knowing what you like.

• Entertaining at home

• Collecting wine

• Cooking with wine

• Touring Canadian vineyards

• Impressing your friends

Explore all the factors that influence a wine 212;from the soil the grapes grow in to the winemaking process—and understand how to decipher this information from the label. Navigate any restaurant’s wine list and order the best tasting and priced bottle. Serve the perfect wine to complement the food your serving. This friendly guide helps you do these things and more:

• Introduce your friends to Icewine

• Happily marry food and wine at your wedding

• Purchase wine online from private shops

• Properly taste and describe any wine

• Organize wine tastings

• Know when to send back a bottle of wine

Tired of relying on otherpeople’s wine choices? Want to discover a vast country of delicious wines? There are many, many reasons to explore the world of Canadian wines. No matter what the reason, the experience you take away from delving into the savory world of Canadian wines will make itself useful the rest of your life.

Seeds of Wealth is a collection of four elegant essays focusing on the economic and cultural consequences of the exploitation of timber, tobacco, rubber, and the wine grape. These cash crops have had, for the past three centuries, a profound effect on our world. In this intriguing account, Hobhouse illustrates how timber deficiency sparked an industrial revolution, tobacco lead to a wealthy and young nation, the rubber tree created nations, and wine provided the head, heart, and pocketbook with wealth.

This book offers proof of how the seemingly irrelevant can have widespread unintended consequences. In presenting global history from his own perspective, Henry Hobhouse offers an overview of how nature has unwittingly contributed to the creation of human wealth and economic growth.

Nola Theiss - KLIATT

Five agricultural products?—?timber, wine grapes, rubber, and tobacco, along with coffee (added to this newest edition)?—?have had an enormous impact on the history of the world. Two (timber and tobacco) reflected the changing fortunes of Britain and the United States. Timber and its rampant use for construction and fuel probably added significantly to global warming. Rubber and winemaking were influential in other areas of the world, like Singapore and Ancient Rome, and coffee brings the Arab world into the picture, but all these products have had significant impact on the United States. The author notes that one thing they have in common, beyond the fact that each stimulated or was crucial in wars, was that they have been a boon for "tax gatherers." Hobhouse has also written a related book, Seeds of Change and, although a journalist by trade, he has become an authority on the impact of plants on the history of the world. Because this book is written in an extremely readable style, it would be a good addition to any school library. Students will use it as a reference in history, political science, economics and science classes.

Ricelands: The World of South-east Asian Food

Author: Michael Freeman

Pad thai, pho, bao: the cuisines of Southeast Asia have ardent enthusiasts far beyond their native lands, and are now among the most-consumed dishes in the world. But the familiar take-out menus and thriving storefronts rest atop a compelling history of food, culture, and modernity. Award-winning photographer and writer Michael Freeman now offers here an all-encompassing guide to the cuisines of eight Southeast Asian countries.
Ricelands takes the reader on a colorful and engaging tour of these popular tourist destinations through the richly layered cultures surrounding the various food traditions. Traveling across the landscapes of Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines, Freeman explores the origins of their respective cuisines, the defining characteristics of authentic dishes, and the evolution of the cuisines as they entered foreign cultures. From birds’ nests gathered in Thailand's coastal caves to the less familiar dishes of Burma and Cambodia to the pungent durian fruit (and Westerners’ often aghast reactions), the author unearths unexpected treasures and tantalizing facts about Southeast Asia and its social history. The book also examines the cooking techniques, complex spices, and agricultural economies that underpin the countries’ food cultures, and considers how the informal nature of Southeast Asian eating fits into the rhythms of modern-day living.
Vibrantly illustrated and elegantly conceived, Ricelands takes us into the heart of tropical Asia and the delicious foods that define it the world over.

Restaurant Confidential

Author: Michael F Jacobson

In May 2001, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) will break a major pizza story on the ABC television program 20/20 and once again capture front-page headlines, just as it did when it released studies on movie popcorn and take-out Chinese food. Published to coincide with this story is Restaurant Confidential, in which Dr. Michael F. Jacobson and his CSPI team do for sit-down meals what their Fast-Food Guide--with 247,000 copies in print--does for fast food.Belgian Waffle or Rib-Eye Steak? Bloomin' Onion or Mrs. Fields's Double-Fudge Brownie? Americans are now eating almost one-third of their meals outside the home, spending $222 billion annually doing so-and watching their waistlines balloon. What's in this food? To answer, CSPI performs across-the-board restaurant profiles that give straight-shooting scientific data on the fat, sodium, and calorie content of the most popular dishes. The information is organized by type of cuisine--Chinese, Mexican, steak house, and more--and covers all the major chains, such as The Olive Garden, Applebee's, and Outback. The book provides specific eating strategies for every kind of restaurant, as well as shocking facts: Did you know that a typical order of stuffed potato skins packs a whopping 1,260 calories and 48 grams--two days' worth--of saturated fat? A 10-point plan for ordering wisely, plus dozens of tips throughout, takes the information one step further by showing how to eat happily and healthfully. It's the nutrition book that reads like a thriller. Take the steak and brownies; a whole fried onion with dipping sauce has a blooming 163 grams of fat, and the seemingly innocent Belgian waffle with whippedtopping and fruit has even more fat and calories than two sirloin steaks.

Publishers Weekly

This book from the Center for Science in the Public Interest is a follow-up to the organization's expos on the dangers of fast food. This guide offers all imaginable nutritional details about restaurant food, including meals available at mall eateries, fast-food outlets and family-oriented establishments, along with ethnic eateries from Chinese to Italian. The material is first presented in a breathless, tabloid style designed to astound the reader ("It is not at all unusual for a typical restaurant meal to pack 1,000 calories, not counting appetizers or dessert, each of which could run another 1,000. Yet, most women need only about 2,000 calories per day, whereas men need only 2,500.") What follows is a practical list of the best and worst meal choices, according to calorie, fat and sugar content. After spelling out the calorie and fat gram content, the authors offer an alternative in "The Bottom Line." For example, after describing the amount of oil and sugar in sweet and sour pork, the authors advise, "No amount of adjusting will make this good enough to eat. Skip it." While the book probably won't change the way most Americans eat, avid dieters or anyone obsessed with eating healthy will find this book useful as they plan their meals.

School Library Journal

Adult/High School-The Center for Science in the Public Interest publishes the calories, fat, and saturated fats in America's favorite restaurant foods. This book is a compilation of those reports. It begins with a brief overview of the American habit of eating out, the study's methodology, and a basic guide to eating out in a healthy way. The reports are arranged by food type, e.g., breakfast, Mexican, Greek drinks, sweets, etc. Each item ends with a tip on eating it in the most nutritious way. Sidebars highlight special findings, which include the 10 best and worst restaurant meals, the foods highest and lowest in saturated fats, food contamination, etc. An appendix lists the major restaurant chains tested. The bad news is delivered in an easy-to-read style free of scientific jargon. Teens who spend so much of their time in restaurants and fast-food chains will find these reports highly informative and extremely helpful in planning a nutritional strategy when eating out.-Jane S.

Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts

Author: Martha Stewart

With more than 100 original recipes, this may be the most inspiring dessert cookbook ever published. Martha's recipes for such delights as Tartan Rhubarb Pie or Walnut Tartlets with Chocolate Lace are accompanied by creative ideas for spectacular presentation and stunning full-color photographs. More than 160 full-color photographs.

Publishers Weekly

This is the third in Stewart's Food & Entertaining series, following Entertaining and Hors d'Oeuvres, written in the informal, conversational style that attracts her readers and may assure them they can achieve the results displayed in Galton's photos. The author is a professional caterer and columnist for House Beautiful, and the elegant creations here bespeak learned skills, inventiveness and enthusiasm. Perfectly reproduced color pictures focus on pies, tarts and tartlets made from fruits (including the citrus types), berries, nuts, chocolate, vegetables. These ingredients are elaborately decorated, some baked in heart-shaped or other unconventional pans, most as rich as Croesus and a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Stewart's instructions are complete, unmistakably clear and illustrated each step of the way. Still, a kitchen neophyte would probably be frustrated by attempts to make the Concord grape pie, garnished by a grape cluster, leaves and tendrilsall made of pastry; or a swirling, white-and-dark chocolate masterpiece surrounded by hand-fashioned chocolate leaves. The book is outstanding, and it should appeal strongly to people experienced in the art of fine cooking. December 2

It's hard to imagine anyone would need inspiration for finding sweets on a trip to Paris, but just in case, a new book called Paris by Pastry can help you find some of the city's best treats and bakeries.

The French Journal

For those of us who don't have Paris in our immediate futures, a few recipes of favorite treats are also included.

Library Journal

Mitchell (Winning the Heart of the College Admissions Dean: An Expert's Advice for Getting into College) gives herself the nom de plume Georgette as she visits the bakeries of Paris with a friend. Mitchell refers to the pair by pseudonyms and in the third person, which immediately sets the tone for this travel/food book, whose unique approach to Paris is as light and airy as the pastries these two women seek. Most of the text is arranged by neighborhood or tourist attraction; entries describe the area, identify a nearby petisserie or boulangerie, and describe the shop's specialties. Recipes are included for several of the treats mentioned. While charming, this book has very limited value as a travel guide, and the sweet-shop listings and recipes can be found in more authoritative sources, such as Patricia Wells's Food Lover's Guide to Paris and Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. An optional purchase for public libraries.-Rita Simmons, Sterling Heights P.L., MI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Sweet Myrtle and Bitter Honey or Necessities and Temptations

Sweet Myrtle and Bitter Honey: The Mediterranean Flavors of Sardinia

Author: Efisio Farris

Sardinia now rivals its northern neighbor Provence as a vacation destination. The coastline lures visitors, but it is the food that will make you linger. Chef Efisio Farris is poised to become the next great ambassador of Italian regional cuisine. To promote the cooking of his native Sardinia, he has appeared on the Food Network, given demonstrations at food festivals across the country, and even launched his own company that imports Sardinian specialties for his restaurants and for retail. It is Mediterranean cooking at its purest, making liberal use of olive oil, fish, and fresh vegetables. But it’s also distinguished by indigenous ingredients that are becoming hot trends in America: pecorino, flatbread, fava beans, fregula, and bottarga. Farris has pulled together more than one hundred recipes–many of them family secrets. Among them are Watermelon Salad with Arugula and Ricotta Salata; Pannacotta with Bitter Honey; and Bruschetta with Sausage and Pecorino Sardo. More than 150 breathtaking images take you on a tour of the countryside–from the terraced olive groves to the riverbanks full of wild asparagus. In sidebars, the author relates charming anecdotes and Sardinian history. Readers will come away not just with a taste for the island’s flavors but also a sense of Sardinia’s magical beauty and culture.

Publishers Weekly

With his first cookbook, Farris leaps into the front ranks of culinary regionalist and troubadour. He's a transplant to Texas, a restaurateur and importer, but his taste buds still twinkle to the lusty, muscular primal cuisine of his ancestral Sardinia. He stirs up an appetite for simple pasta dishes in which the sauce determines the shape of the macarrones, and any number of compositions featuring spiced and herbed lamb, artichokes, olives and various seafood stews enriched with bottarga. The author first tasted this "Sardinian caviar," the roe of gray mullet, at age three on a cherished expedition to catch and cook fish on the beach with his father and uncle. He balances sentimentality with frank delight in testing the reader's mettle. Roasted eels, pictured in full slither, are only a start. Anyone for abbamele, the honey and bee pollen reduction? Raw sea urchin under the full moon? Then there is casu murzu, rotten cheese, which owes its creamy texture to maggots. Our intrepid guide, who "cannot resist its charms," admits that even for him it was a childhood gross-out. Beautifully illustrated, often eminently cookable, the book also has the charms of a picaresque novel. (Oct.)

Children's Literature

I've always believed that food and learning make a great combination. What better way to learn United States geography than by sampling regional foods, state-by-state. The book is divided regionally and fun facts about foods from each state are given along with a typical recipe for that state. Cooking utensils and safety are described at the beginning of the book in preparation for a safe workplace. Each recipe is clearly described and will easily be understood by beginning cooks. Last week, we had historic Waldorf salad with our Sunday lunch. It gave a whole new twist to the recipe to realize that it had such a venerable past. There should be many uses for this cookbook, inside the classroom, at home, 4-H cooking groups, boys and girls clubs, etc. The recipes are nutritious for the most part and definitely an improvement over many other fast food type meals. An index of recipes, states, and state events is helpful in locating items quickly. 2000, John Wiley and Sons, Ages 8 to Adult, $12.95. Reviewer: Barbara Youngblood

School Library Journal

Gr 4-6-Readers can cook their way around the nation while digesting fascinating trivia about the states. The book is divided into seven parts by regions, with each region divided into chapters with states listed alphabetically. The authors present foods of the states as well as a brief history, boxed facts (capital, major cities, state bird, tree, flower, etc.), and "Fun Food Facts." There are helpful sections on the use of equipment; cooking skills, such as cutting, measuring, and mixing; and safety rules. Recipes are presented in a consistent fashion: ingredients, step-by-step directions for preparation, time/tools involved, and number of servings. "Fabulous Food Festivals" are highlighted with month and city or town. The wide range of tempting recipes (breads, vegetables, desserts, a beverage, breakfast, fish, sandwiches, salads, and meats) should please all palates. Readers will discover traditional dishes like Boston baked beans, Maryland baked crab cakes, Key lime pie, Mississippi mud pie, and Waldorf salad. There are also fun-to-prepare recipes such as Kentucky burgoo, Wisconsin cheddar dill puffs, and mallo-mallo fudge squares, and foods with lots of kid appeal like Philadelphia soft pretzels. Simple, black-and-white maps, cartoons, and sketches appear throughout. Like Aileen Paul's The Kids' Fifty State Cookbook (Doubleday, 1976; o.p.), this title will be a popular choice.-Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|

Kirkus Reviews

This earnest amalgam of cookbook and geography lesson has some charm, but mostly falls flat. Beginning with a brief rundown of skills and safety rules about measuring, mixing, cutting, and using kitchen appliances, the authors then turn to the United States by region (New England, Southwest, Pacific, etc.). Each state gets an outline map, a box of info about its state tree, flower, etc. a few paragraphs of history, and an indication of some of its food products. This is followed by a regional recipe, nicely laid out with ingredients, steps, the time it takes, and the tools needed. Each state's section ends with "Fun Food Facts" and a note about a local food festival. The research is sometimes frustrating (in what African language is "goober" a word for peanut?) and some terms that should be explained aren't (what's shortening?). There's a heavy reliance on pre-packaged, canned, and frozen ingredients in the recipes. Margarine and oil pan spray are used throughout, which might allay some health concerns but will surely offend some purists, too. There isn't much description to carry youngsters through the tricky parts, like yeast dough; or warnings about, for example, adding melted margarine to egg yolk and what might happen if the margarine is too hot. Budding young chefs will be better served by other readily available regional cookbooks. (Nonfiction. 9-14)

The Fat Fallacy: The French Diet Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss

Author: Will Clower

Fat is not the enemy!
Croissants. Brioche. Brie. To the American palate, these foods are fattening and oftentimes “forbidden.” Yet they are the regular staples of the French diet. And though almost half of all Americans are overweight, France’s obesity rate is at a low eight percent, while the French also boast fewer cases of stroke and heart disease. It’s clear that America’s obsession with low-fat and fat-free foods has ultimately failed.
In The Fat Fallacy, neuroscientist Will Clower explains precisely why the American diet sabotages weight-loss efforts and discusses how French eating habits can lead to better health and trimmer physiques. In this revolutionary work, Dr. Clower explains:
• How highly processed “fake foods” are the real culprit in the American diet
• Why it’s not just what you eat but how you eat that makes a difference
• Easy ways to adopt the habits of the French to melt the pounds away, including
complete dinner recipes—with dessert!
Finally, here’s a plan that cuts through the high-protein/low-fat debate. It’s not a gimmicky diet program but a way of life that will invite Americans to enjoy food like never before—while being healthier and trimmer than they ever could have imagined.

Author Biography: Dr. Will Clower is a neurophysiologist and neuroscience historian at the University of Pittsburgh. He obtained his Ph.D. from Emory University in Atlanta and spent two years as a research fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences in Lyon, France.
