Farmhouse Cookery

Author: Laura Mason

Farmhouse Cookery is both a culinary tour of Great Britain and a celebration of regional, traditional, and contemporary cooking. Laura Mason demonstrates how landscape, climate, and culture have contributed to the wide diversity of British cooking, from the excellent Herdwick lamb in the Lake District to the justifiably famous goat's cheese of South Wales. Farming in Britain has been under increasing pressure for the last two decades. The foot and mouth crisis of 2001 threw the plight of British farmers onto an international stage. Launched in conjunction with the National Trust's "Farming Forward" campaign, Farmhouse Cookery aims to promote the excellent foodstuffs produced by British farmers.

The Whisky Barons

Author: Allen Andrews

The success of today's whisky industry is largely due to the commercial drive and foresight of a select group of whisky merchants who took the business by storm in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This is the story of how Dewar, Buchanan, Walker, Bell and Mackie established their brands and kick-started the industry. The men had much in common: they were all Scots from humble beginnings, served long apprenticeships and ultimately set out on their own to build their companies. This book shows how they changed the face of the world of whisky by taking the industry by the scruff of the neck and creating many of the sales techniques and the actual business culture still in existence today.

Two for the Road or Cajun Quick

Two for the Road: Our Love Affair with American Food

Author: Jane Stern

Road trip! In this rollicking memoir, Jane and Michael Stern tell what it's like to eat everywhere across the U.S.A. Driving more than three million miles, eating twelve meals a day, they discover not only the pleasure of biscuits and gravy and cherry pie à la mode, but a world of cooks, customers, and fellow roadfood devotees for whom good food is one of life's essentials.

Hop into the car for hilarious adventures and misadventures as the Sterns search for the definitive barbecue, sandwiches, Indian fry bread, sweet potato pie, and other treasures along America's highways and byways. Eat in a midnight restaurant where a "murderburger" is the specialty, dine in a place whose proprietor is devoted to the memory of Richard Nixon, devour ribs alongside a cook's pet pig, and feast at one of the last of the old-time boarding houses. You'll meet such personalities as America's greatest bull rider (who won't eat clams but downs deep-fried lamb testicles), a waitress who gets her dining tips straight from Jesus, and a pre-reality-show radio homemaker who broadcasts straight from her kitchen.

Join the Sterns at the start of their journey when, fresh out of grad school and with little more than hunger as their guide, they hit the road in search of something to eat. Discover with them a strategy to maximize cafeteria tray capacity (desserts first) and to sniff out a great breakfast in an unfamiliar town. Best of all, savor the delicious potluck banquet of beloved regional fare, unusual eateries, and the unforgettable characters who make up American food.

The New York Times - Nora Ephron

I love Jane and Michael Stern. They write about ordinary food so simply and exuberantly that I couldn't help thinking, as I read this latest book of theirs (the 31st), that they deserved a room of their own in the Smithsonian Institution, right next to Julia Child's Cambridge kitchen. The Sterns' exhibit would consist primarily of an automobile, possibly the gas-guzzling vomit-green Chevrolet Suburban with calico curtains that the couple bought back in the early 70's, when they began a lifelong odyssey for hot biscuits, red velvet cake, stuffed ham, bright blue gelatin, cinnamon buns, barbecued ribs, candied yams — all the uncelebrated, homely, traditional regional American foods that were at the time completely off the radar of almost everyone who made a living caring or writing about food.

Publishers Weekly

The authors of Roadfood are crazy for American local food, that often informal, inexpensive cuisine that's not especially healthy but sure is tasty. The husband-and-wife team has traveled the country since the 1970s, seeking out the sort of food found in "unlikely restaurants in small towns and off two-lane highways," which, naturally, leads to all manner of fish-out-of-water scenarios, which they relate in this endearing chronicle. The Sterns' adventures are funny, if not quite perilous; the car breaks down in Enigma, Ga.; six jugs of iced tea bought at a South Carolina restaurant leak all over the car's floor, which the Sterns don't realize until days later, when they're nearing the Mojave Desert and could really use a refreshment. Their enthusiasm is inspiring; they regularly consume 100 meals in 10 days or less, but that only makes them more passionate for road food. Their descriptions of their grail are the book's highlights: baby back ribs at Carson's, in Skokie, Ill., for instance, are "sensuously sticky with a baked-on sauce that [is] striated red-gold as if it had been painted by an artist of the Hudson River School"; caramel rolls at North Dakota's Havana Cafe are "light and fluffy, swirled with veins of caramel frosting." (May) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

For the past 30 years, the Sterns have traveled America's back roads looking for the most tender chicken and fried steak, the flakiest pies, and the most gelatinous congealed salads. The authors of Roadfood and many other books finally tell the story of this decades-long road trip. After their days as art students at Yale, they purchased a disreputable vehicle and planned to eat their way from coast to coast. Like Hobbits, they not only had second but third and fourth breakfasts-plus lunches and dinners. While Michael stayed thin as a rail, Jane packed on a few pounds and discovered the benefits of commodious and sturdy Amish underpants. Included here are tips on how to choose cheap motels ("Don't stay in a room where the TV is chained to the wall") and an appreciation of misprints on menus ("oven fried children"; "spaghetti with clamps"). A book to be savored while sitting in the Formica and vinyl booth of your favorite diner eating meatloaf and real mashed potatoes, this title will be popular with libraries that own other titles by the Sterns.-Susan Belsky, Oshkosh P.L., WI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Over a hundred sweet treats for diabetics use no sugar or fructose, relying on recommended sugar substitutes instead. An introduction on the pros and cons of various 'sugar substitutes' would have been nice; many of the recipes call for this generic substitute without mentioning brand names - or the fact that sucrose turns bitter under heat. Still, the recipes provide a range of options and with a little extra research, diabetics will find them easy to work with.

Great Southern Wild Game Cookbook or Mollie Katzens Vegetable Heaven

Great Southern Wild Game Cookbook

Author: Sam Goolsby

Hunter, outdoor writer, and wild game expert Sam Goolsby, for more than a decade president of one of the South's most successful hunting lodges, contends that virtually any wild game can be cooked, served, and savored by almost anyone. In this comprehensive collection of time-proven recipes, he shows how.

Included are step-by-step instructions for preparing a wide variety of tasty dishes featuring: venison, squirrel, rabbit, possum, coon, alligator, bear, armadillo, rattlesnake, duck, goose, wild turkey, quail, pheasant, dove, grouse, fish, seafood.

Uneasy about the flavor or texture of some of the more exotic species of wild game? Don't be. The author decisively puts to rest many of the myths concerning the taste of meat from the hunt, showing how, with the proper preparation, food such as venison can be as appealing to the taste buds as traditional meat dishes.

Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven

Author: Mollie Katzen

In this major new cookbook, the beloved author and illustrator of the classic Moosewood Cookbook (one of the top ten best-selling cookbooks of all time) presents a sumptuously illustrated collection of over 200 irresistible and surprising recipes. This long-awaited and beautiful new work by one of America's favorite cookbook writers is the companion volume to the new 26-part public television series, Mollie Katzen's Cooking Show: Vegetable Heaven. Here she weaves together culinary styles from around the world: appetizers like Persian Eggplant Dip and Jamaican Salsa-Salad; soups ranging from Big, Bold Noodle to Tunisian Tomato; hearty main-course features and a mix-and-match section of "Side-by-Side Dishes," including grains and vegetables. This book also features unusual pasta recipes, condiments, and a wonderful assortment of desserts like Cherry Upside-Down Gingerbread and Pineapple Pomegranita. Gracing the pages are over 50 of Katzen's luminous paintings, richly evocative of the pleasures of cooking and eating.

Publishers Weekly

A tie-in to a forthcoming cooking series on public television, this collection from the author of The Enchanted Broccoli Forest and Still Life with Menu offers a broad range of fairly simple and often imaginative vegetarian dishes. Such dishes as Onion-Wilted Spinach Salad with Cumin, Avocado and Apple or Black-eyed Pea and Squash Soup with Shiitake Mushrooms will add spark to any meal. Sizzling Long Beans, stir-fried with garlic and chiles, and Coconut Rice, with ginger, chiles and lime, will likely delight any home cook looking for side dish variations. Mushroom-Barley "Risotto" and Sweet Potatoes and Spinach in Spiced Orange Sauce also deliver on the subtitle's promise of unexpected fare. Seductive desserts (Mexican Chocolate Cake with Mocha Butterceam; Blueberry-Lemon Mousse Pie) gleefully disregard dietary prudence. Remembering that great veggie pickings are slim in winter months, Katzen includes such dishes as Root Vegetable Soup and Tuscan Bean and Pasta Stew (featuring canned and frozen ingredients). Occasionally overblown prose diminishes the effect of Katzen's personable style, as when Green Beans and Tofu in Crunchy Thai Peanut Sauce is described as "a virtual explosion of flavor and texture!" But overall this is a fresh, respectable collection worthy of a place on the bookshelf of any cook, vegetarian or carnivorous. $250,000 ad/promo; QPB main selection; author tour. (Oct.)

Garlic and Oil: Politics and Food in Italy

Author: Carol F Helstosky

Pasta, cappuccino, olive oil--Italian food is a favorite in our cafes, restaurants and homes. But what is the history of Italian cuisine? And where do we get our notions about Italian food? Contrary to popular belief, the Italian diet was inadequate and unchanging for many decades. Successive political regimes--liberal, fascist, democratic--struggled to improve eating habits, shaping not only Italian cuisine but Italian identity. This book reveals the harsh reality behind the myths surrounding this highly-romanticized cuisine.

Literary Feast: Recipes and Writings by American Women Authors from History

Author: Yvonne Schofer

There was sweet, crisp lettuce and tender radishes in scarlet coats, there were green peas, and beans, and beets, and onions, and potatoes, with dessert of wild gooseberries and plums, which latter were furnished gratis by the gracious mother in the woods nearby. Appetizing food is not the sole foundation of human happiness and progress, but it is surely one of the pillars thereof. The Squatter Sovereign (1883), Mary A. Humphrey

From Louisa May Alcott to Kate Douglas Wiggin, early American writers found time to describe and prepare sumptuous dishes still cook-worthy today. Beginning with Bouillon for Parties and Germans (a dance reel, not a people!) and ending Sauce aux Marrons, a Creole chestnut sauce served over broiled turkey chicks, A Literary Feast presents the soup-to-nuts of eating in America more than a century ago.

This unique cookbook provides an abundance of recipes from the nineteenth century, along with excerpts from American literature written by women, who were, after all, the primary cooks of the time, illustrating how food and eating fit into domestic life. Together they provide an unusual-and entertaining-snapshot into the world of an earlier era.

What People Are Saying

Monique Jamet Hooker
What a great pleasure it is to trace culinary dishes to their source and place in history. (Monique Jamet Hooker, author, Cooking with Seasons: A Year in My Kitchen)

Barbara Haber
Not only a delightful cookbook with charming observations about food, A Literary Feast is a valuable contribution to both women's history and food studies. The book entertains as well as offers evidence of the important connections between women and food. Until recently, that relationship has been trivialized and misunderstood, but with growing numbers of books on the subject appearing, a new period of understanding has finally arrived. A Literary Feast will be a joy to cooks with an interest in history and literature and great resource for researchers who continue this investigation. (author of From Hardtack to Home Fries: An Uncommon History of American Cooks and Meals)

Terese Allen
For people who read cookbooks like novels, A Literary Feast offers the best of both worlds-food and fiction from the 19th century. I can't think of a more enjoyable way to learn about the culture of a by-gone era than by juxtaposing its literary lives with period recipes. (author of Wisconsin Hometown Flavors)

Sweetness and Light: A Book of Desserts

Author: Kip Wilcox

A wonderful collection of delicious and satisfying desserts that emphasizes the use of fresh fruits rather than sugars and fats, Sweetness and Light contains recipes that range from simple to challenging--with an emphasis on health.

Publishers Weekly

Wilcox, a member of the Moosewood Restaurant team, and Cowden, a papercut artist, pool talents and interests in this illustrated book of healthful, flavorful desserts. Chapters (e.g., Pies; Cakes, Cobblers, Crumbles, Crisps and Their Relatives; Fruit and Fruit Sauces) are laced with the authors' recollections of first encounters with a particular dish or other personal memories related to various desserts and sweets. Fat and cholesterol contents are reduced with the use of low-fat milk and canola oil; calorie, fat and cholesterol counts are given per serving. The collection serves as an ample introduction to the last sweet course, with recipes ranging from the very simple (e.g., Classic Apple Pie; Pear Crisp; Marsala Sorbet and Toasted Cashew Cookies) to the more demanding (Sweet Tamales, made with peaches, masa harina and apricot preserves; Apple Strudel with Homemade Dough). Chapters on fruit sauces (Plum Puree; Fresh Orange Sauce) and drinks (Mango Lassi; Sparkling Cherry Lemonade) are included. Although the authors mention freezing fruit for later use, recipes calling for fruit (Cranberry Poached Pears; Rhubarb Ginger Pockets) are generally seasonal, taking advantage of fruit at its best. Recipes and tips for additions, such as Faux Whipped Cream, made with nonfat dry milk, ice water and lemon juice, are welcome additions. Illustrations not seen by PW. (July)

Library Journal

From Wilcox, dessert chef at the popular Moosewood Restaurant (e.g., Moosewood Cooks for a Crowd, LJ 4/15/96, Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant, LJ 9/15/90), and coauthor Cowden comes a collection of more healthful dessert recipes, low in fat and sugar. Although these may not be as mouthwateringly irresistible as the recipes in the other two books, they are more than a cut above those in other low-fat dessert books: Lemon Shortbread, Shoofly Pie, Raspberry-Peach Turnovers, Pecan Madeleines. The authors focus on fruit desserts and substitute some reduced-fat ingredients for higher-fat ones, but they are not willing to sacrifice taste, using butter, for example, in small amounts. With low-fat desserts that promise real flavor, this is recommended for most collections.

Mindful Cook or Violence Hospitality and the Cross

Mindful Cook: Finding Awareness, Simplicity, and Freedom in the Kitchen

Author: Isaac Cronin

"With humor and vitality, Isaac Cronin's words renew our capacity to delight, to be filled with life. Flavorful recipes welcome our hearts and hands to cook and be nourished. Our presence in the kitchen makes all the difference."
—Edward Espe Brown, Zen priest, author of The Tassajara Bread Book and Tomato Blessings and Radish Teachings

The inner game of cooking—a book of essays, exercises, and recipes designed to help experienced cooks and nov-ices alike find joy and fulfillment in the experience of food preparation.

Many people enjoy cooking; others dread it. This book is for people who want to learn to love it. The Mindful Cook draws on two traditions—meditation, as practiced in East-ern spirituality, and mindfulness, as outlined by Western psychologists and in books like Diane Ackerman's Deep Play—to help experienced cooks and novices alike find a sense of wonder and fulfillment in the essential human act of preparing food. Brief personal essays by food expert Isaac Cronin explore various aspects of food and cooking—history, preparation, the sense of the kitchen as place, balancing flavors, the joy of mistakes—and are followed by exercises that involve both meditation and hands-on ex-perimentation to help make the process of creating food as rewarding as the final result.
        
Beautifully designed and including twenty-nine delicious recipes, The Mindful Cook enables us to nourish the soul, develop the mind, and eat well at the same time.

Violence, Hospitality, and the Cross: Reappropriating the Atonement Tradition

Author: Hans Boersma

The cross is central to understanding Christian theology. But is it possible that our postmodern setting requires a new model of understanding the cross?

Hans Boersma's Violence, Hospitality, and the Cross proposes an understanding of the atonement that is sensitive both to the Christian tradition and to the postmodern critiques of that tradition. His fresh approach draws on the rich resources of the Christian tradition in its portrayal of God's hospitality in Jesus Christ.

Library Journal

Boersma (religious & worldview studies, Trinity Western Univ., British Columbia) here offers a scholarly review and analysis of differing historical and contemporary understandings of God's work of reconciliation in Jesus Christ, particularly with regard to hospitality and violence. He examines and compares three main atonement models: moral influence, penal representation, and Christ as victor. Boersma sees Christ not just as priest and king but also as prophet and teacher and argues that moral influence is an indispensable anchor for the hospitability of God. He asks evangelicals to recover the Catholic emphasis on moral integrity and the visible Church, viewing Christ's death on the cross as "the divine punishment of exile." Further, he sees the Resurrection as God's pure hospitability as illustrated in the parable of the prodigal son. Though well structured and readable, this book is scholarly in tone and would be of interest only to graduate studies faculty, particularly those wrestling with the atonement in its historical and contemporary understanding.

The Queen of Quick Cooks Italian and More.....

Author: Camille Contino Duncan

Please accept this cookbook as a guideline. Cooking can be fun if you relax and let yourself get creative. You will find that in several recipes I refer to a 2 finger pinch of this or a dash or a glug glug of that. That's what I love about cooking. It is not an exact science. It is not brain surgery. Play with it. Do what's right for you. Try new things. If you can find an easier way, go for it. Most anything you can buy at the grocery store that is already made can be doctored up to taste almost like homemade. Try it. If you don't like it then next time make it the long way. Then there are those who just don't enjoy cooking. That's okay too. Be true to yourself. Read the cookbooks and enjoy them. Put them on the shelf and buy your food already made. But if you enjoy cooking, give my recipes a try. And have fun with them.

I have catered dinner parties and receptions and even a wedding reception. The one thing I have learned is that when you love what you are doing it's never too much work. I also learned that I never charged enough money, but it didn't matter because I was enjoying myself. Now that I am getting older and don't seem to have the stamina that I used to have, I find that writing about it is just as satisfying. Well, almost. I still cook but for smaller groups. For the holidays I begin my cooking weeks in advance and freeze what I can so that we can still have all the goodies.

I hope some of my stories have put a smile on your face. They put a smile on my face in writing them.

I have seen it written that one should EAT WELL, LIVE WELL, AND LOVE WELL. No truer words were ever spoken.

The recipes are an eclectic mix of favorites from an incredible group of people. Celebrities include: Sting, Ivana Trump, Puff Daddy, Rosie O'Donnell, Billy Joel, Martha Stewart, Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, Betsey Johnson, Randolph Duke, Cynthia Rowley, Adrienne Vittadini, Donna Karan, Vera Wang, Nina Griscom, Ana Gasteyer, Joy Behar, Star Jones, Liz Smith, Neal Travis, Cindy Adams, and many, many more.
