Heavenly Fragrance: Cooking With Aromatic Asian Herbs, Fruits, Spices And Seasonings

Author: Periplus Editions

Heavenly Fragrance introduces the art of using Asia's most aromatic cooking ingredients to prepare food with wonderful fragrances to excite both the palate and sense of smell. Since over three quarters of what we taste in fact comes from smell, the aromas produced by our food are vitally important to the enjoyment that comes from eating.

Inspired by fond memories of fragrant cooking since her childhood days, author Carol Selva Rajah has included in this book a collection of new and traditional Southeast Asian dishes for anyone wishing to serve the best flavors of the East at home. With chapters on aromatic herbs and flowers, aromatic fruits and nuts, and aromatic spices, pastes and seasonings, these recipes will incite the senses and inspire the soul.

Rajah, a food writer, cooking teacher, and author of numerous cookbooks on the cuisines of Southeast Asia and Malaysia, grew up in Kuala Lumpur and now lives in Australia. Her food memories are all about the fragrant herbs, intense spices, and other seasonings that characterize the Asian cuisines she loves, and she divides her recipes here into four categories based on them: herbs, fruits, spices, and seasonings. Each chapter begins with a detailed, illustrated glossary of these aromatic ingredients, and many of the imaginative recipes, which range from Fresh Tuna with Citrus, Starfruit, and Jicama to Crab Soup with Lemongrass, Tamarind, and Mint, are shown in gorgeous color photographs. The text is a pleasure to read, and the recipes are enticing; recommended for most collections.

Everybody Eats There or 100 Great Lite Bites

Everybody Eats There: The Fabulous World of Celebrity Restaurants

Author: William Stadiem

If you love restaurants and you love to travel, this book will be your bible! From the private tatami rooms at Ten-Ichi in Tokyo to the sidewalk tables at Da Silvano in New York City, EVERYBODY EATS THERE: Inside the World's Legendary Restaurants by William Stadiem and Mara Gibbs is the ultimate tour of the liveliest, most beautiful, most delicious, most glamorous, most exclusive 100 restaurants on earth-and how they got that way.



Stadiem and Gibbs reveal the mystique and excitement of the world's most fabulous eateries that are packed with A-listers every night. Funny, acerbic, totally in-the-know, EVERYBODY EATS THERE is part travelogue, part social commentary to give readers the real inside dish. Dine topless with Pamela Anderson in St. Tropez, share roast suckling pig with Bill Clinton in Madrid, eat the best Italian food on earth in San Paolo, party with The Stones in Tokyo, join the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a Wild West saloon and get picked up by Warren Beatty in Los Angeles.


EVERYBODY EATS THERE weaves together lavish celebrity stories and incisive biographies of the famed chefs and restaurateurs with descriptions of the food that will whet appetites and jump-start plans for future dining excursions. Stadiem and Gibbs-with their discerning palates and social antennae-tell us what to eat, what to wear and how to behave once we make it in. Most guidebooks are about one city, or one country, and overload you with bad choices. EVERYBODY EATS THERE looks at restaurants as one global food club. And we're invited to join in.


The result-an engrossing read on the history of modern dining. Read how:

• Al Capone embraces JOE'SSTONE CRAB in Miami as his favorite dining spot




• Henri Soule jumps ship after the 1939 World's Fair and invents Manhattan snob French cuisine at LE PAVILION




• Ernest Hemingway turns readers into foodies by mythologizing CASA BOTIN in Madrid and HARRY'S BAR in Venice




• Hairdresser Michael Chow opens the first MR CHOW in London during the swinging sixties. It was architecturally famous for its firehouse staircase for looking up miniskirts




• DAVE in Paris pushes the envelope of snob appeal by serving take-out level Chinese fare to the world's chic-est crowd




• Princess Diana anoints SAN LORENZO as London's royal trattoria




• Alice Waters builds a special bathroom for future presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton at CHEZ PANISSE

And much, much more!


The dream tour, EVERYBODY EATS THERE reveals the juiciest details from the backstories to the back rooms, from what's on the menus to what's even better off, from the glamorous (and sometimes scandalous) clientele to the high-powered chefs. And now, we can be a part of this international delight of food, fun and fame!

Mama Dips Kitchen or Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook

Mama Dip's Kitchen

Author: Mildred Council

For nearly twenty-five years, Mildred Council--better known by her nickname, Mama Dip--has nourished thousands of hungry folks in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Her restaurant, Mama Dip's Kitchen, is a much-loved community institution that has gained loyal fans and customers from all walks of life, from New York Times food writer Craig Claiborne to former Tar Heel basketball player Michael Jordan.

Mama Dip's Kitchen showcases the same down-home, wholesome, everyday Southern cooking for which its namesake restaurant is celebrated. The book features more than 250 recipes for such favorites as old-fashioned chicken pie, country-style pork chops, sweet potatoes, fresh corn casserole, poundcake, and banana pudding. Chapters cover breads and breakfast dishes; poultry, fish, and seafood; beef, pork, and lamb; vegetables and salads; and desserts, beverages, and party dishes.

The book opens with a charming introductory essay, a savory reflection on a life in cooking that also reveals the story behind Council's nickname. It is both a graceful reminiscence of a country childhood and the inspiring story of a woman determined to make her own way in the larger world.

Library Journal

In this memoir/cookbook, Council, a popular restaurant owner in North Carolina, explains her famous "dump cooking" method of preparing food, which means no recipes, just measuring by eye, feel, taste, and testing. She also includes 250 of her favorite dishes. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

What People Are Saying

Jessica B. Harris
I've never met Mama Dip, and I've never eaten her food, but I know I'd love her just from reading her book. Her chicken liver omelette and molasses bread make my mouth water, and her grape-lemon Kool-Aid is just like my Grandma's. Her reminiscences are as savory as her cooking. Next time I get to Chapel Hill, I'll try Mama Dip's restaurant. For now, I'll have to read and reread her book; it's living food history and a testimonial to the culinary ingenuity of African Americans. Don't miss Mama Dip--she spreads joy around like pumpkin seeds. (Jessica B. Harris, author of The Africa Cookbook: Tastes of a Continent and The Welcome Table: African American Heritage Cooking)

Jean Anderson
I'm a huge fan of Mama Dip's southern country cooking, and I'm thrilled that she's written a cookbook. She not only includes all her restaurant's signature dishes (not least of which is the world's best fried chicken) but also reminisces about her childhood. This warm and wonderful cookbook is bound to win Mama Dip thousands of new fans. (Jean Anderson, author of The American Century Cookbook)

Dean Smith
I've been a fan of Dip's for years. Chapel Hill wouldn't be the Southern Part of Heaven without her.
