James Beard's Shellfish

Author: John Ferron

Along with such French classics as Lobster a la Nage in Court Bouillon and StuffedMussels Provenзal are zesty creations such as Curried Crab Crepes and the American favorites, Clam Fritters and West Coast Crab Cakes.

More than any other person, James Beard inspired and nourished our national appetite for good food. With his many books, countless articles, and boundless enthusiasm, Beard introduced millions of Americans to the delicious glories of native and foreign cuisines and to the practical techniques of fine cooking. His recipes, which always stressed the natural goodness of fresh foods gathered at their peak; his limitless store of fact, history, and lore from the world of food; and his remarkable ability to present even the most complicated recipes in an accessible manner made him the mentor of a generation of American cooks. Now, for the first time, some of Beard's most enticing recipes are presented in a charming, inexpensive, paperback format. These recipes, many no longer in print in any other form, have been culled from the legacy of Beard's many magazine articles, newspaper columns, and unavailable books by John Ferrone, Beard's long-time friend and editor. He has organized them into four books, each covering an essential area of cooking. Some of these dishes are versions of Beard favorites, which, with his inventive curiosity, he was always adjusting and rethinking. Others offer exciting new discoveries. All of them provide wonderful eating experiences.

Country Ham Book

Author: Jeanne Voltz

Good country ham is a delicacy that deserves to be in gourmet company. Dry cured with salt and other natural ingredients and aged to a rich intensity, true country ham boasts a flavor and texture that puts the more common wet-cured ham, which is soaked in brine or injected with a salt solution, to shame.

This book celebrates country ham's colorful culinary past and its continued close ties with life across the South. Jeanne Voltz and Elaine Harvell discuss the lore and history of country ham; walk the reader through buying, preparing, and serving a country ham; and present some 70 recipes for country ham and its accompaniments including Pan Roasted Sea Scallops with Pesto and Ham, Alabama Ham Bone Soup, and delectable combinations of ham with corn, biscuits, and greens. The book also features a glossary and a list of sources for ordering country hams.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution - Jim Auchmutey

It's about time someone lavished this kind of loving attention on one of America's great heirloom foods. This book is as welcome as a warm ham biscuit on a cold winter morning.

Raleigh News & Observer

A splendid new book. . . . Almost everything you might want to know about country ham, including the history and lore of this Southern staple.

Standard Wine Cookbook

Author: Anne Director

Unlike many cookbooks that specialize in wine types, this book first describes to the user what the different types of wines are and then give proven recipes for each type of wine. It has been recommended in peer publications and is well received by the public.

"The Standard Wine Cookbook, by Anne Director, is the perfect addition to any cooking library. Director has recorded hundreds of food and drink recipes using wine from around the world, each of which is a time tested favorite.

Although wine loses its alcohol when subjected to heart, it can still give any dish heightened flavor and aroma, The basic rule to remember is that if you can taste the wine in the food when it is done, you have used too much.

Sherry is the perennial favorite for cooking. It is especially good in soups, and with fish, shellfish, chicken and ham. In general, red table wines are used most successfully in dishes with red meats, and whites with white meats, chicken and seafood.

But, Director encourages cooks to experiment. Each wine has an individual flavor and character.

Some of the recipes included are French Onion Soup made with Sherry, Cranberry Salad Mold made with Claret, Wine Butter Sauce for vegetables made with Sherry, Red Wine Beefsteak Pie, and Fruit Wine Shortcake. All of the dishes are economical and easy to prepare. Many date back hundreds of years. Suggested wines are listed by their generic names." - Petterson's California Journal

When visiting New Orleans years ago, I searched for a book that would give me a quick feel for the City—a collection of information and ideas about culture and cuisine, along with a historical overview. Sadly, no such document existed. I wrote "Murder Etouffee" to correct this vacancy and to provide visitors to the Big Easy with a wealth of ideas and information to help them enjoy their stay in the city. "Murder Etouffee" is a collection of stories about Louisiana and New Orleans in particular. It also contains regional recipes and cooking tips that embody Creole and Cajun cuisine—stories and recipes giving readers an authentic "feel" for the people of New Orleans. Lagniappe is a French word meaning a gift or something extra, and "Murder Etouffee" gives its readers a "little something extra," taking them on a whimsical and historical tour of one of the most unique regions in the United States—a region recently subjected to the worst natural disaster in the history of this country.

French Food or Royers Round Top Cafe A Relational Odyssey

French Food: On the Table, on the Page, and in French Culture

Author: Lawrence R Schehr

French identity is a matter of taste-or palate, to be more precise. Food permeates the very idea of "Frenchness"-from the literary feasts of Marcel Proust to the culinary feats of Julia Child, from foie gras to the french fry. French Food is an entertaining and insightful look at the way people cook, eat, market, talk, and write about French cuisine.
More than a book about food alone, French Food uses diet as a window into issues of nationality, literature, and culture in France and abroad. Outstanding contributors from cultural studies, literary criticism, performance studies, and the emerging field of food studies explore a wide range of food matters: the history of French cooking, the intersections of taste and class, the aesthetics of cuisine, French food as nation building, novelists who use gastronomic details to spice up literary personas, and even the sexuality of a French dish. Revealing substance in a French meal beyond mere sustenance, this delicious volume is sure to sharpen your mind as well as your palate.

You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without using stuffy, technical terms, award-winning wine director Daniel Johnnes lays out all the basics you need to find today's best wine values.

Library Journal

Sommelier to three New York restaurants, Johnnes offers contemporary advice on wines to try and buy. Following concise explanations of grape varieties and the making, tasting, and serving of wine, he addresses some common misconceptions about wine and food. His selections for the top 200 wines are grouped by the handy designations of body and color and explained through information about the winery, winemaker, area, and/or wine itself. The price and a food match are also included. Johnnes's advice is basically sound, and reasonably priced wines are well represented. Unfortunately, some wines may not be easily found. Johnnes also offers specific recommendations for setting up an instant cellar for $500, $1000, or $5000-a formula of limited interest to real oenophiles, who make cellar decisions to suit their personal taste. Further, specific recommendations will be somewhat dated in a year or two. There isn't much that is new here. Recommended only for libraries maintaining exhaustive collections on this topic.-Carolyn I.

Peter Kaminsky

You'll certainly enjoy the fruits of your culinary labor more if you choose the right wine for your meal. My favorite beginner's guide to good, moderately priced wine is Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines: An Expert's Guide to Maximum Enjoyment for Your Dollar. Johnnes is wine director at Restaurant Montrachet, in New York City, which the Wine Spectator consistently places at or near the top of its restaurant wine-list ranking. In a field known for florid descriptions, Johnnes soeaks unambiguously. His explanations are clear, and his recommendations work. I know: I've sipped my way through most of them. Novices should note his "Hot Shots" list of wine producers to look for. "Dont buy on the basis of appellation or vintage," cautions Johnnes "[Buy] on the standing of the winemaker will make good wines year after year."— Fast Company

Science of Vine and Wine in France, 1750-1990

Author: Harry W Paul

This book examines the role of science in the civilization of wine in modern France by examining viticulture, the science of the wine itself, and oenology, the study of winemaking. Together they can boast of at least two major triumphs: the creation of the post-phylloxera vines that repopulated the late-nineteenth-century vineyards devastated by the disease; and the understanding of the complex structure of wine that eventually resulted in the development of the widespread wine models of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne. For those interested in agriculture, oenologists and historians of France, this is the first analysis of the scientific battle over how to save the French vineyards and the first account of the growth of oenological science in France since Chaptal and Pasteur.

Country Recipes and Other Interesting Stuff

Author: Bob Holt

A book of Country Recipes chocked full of humorous stories make for many relaxed and fun-filled hours of reading.

When the Lord made pork chops, he said that they would be, bar none, Bob Holt's most favorite meat forever. Being brought up in the Presbyterian Church, and instilled with a belief in "predestination," I believe it was foreordained that pork chops would be it for me.

From the beginning, back in the years of World War II, pork was the main staple during my first year of life on the family farm. You're right, I don't remember it, but it must have been imprinted on my hard drive.

After Momma introduced me to pork fat (hog lard), Justin Wilson brought wine into my life, and I've been on a roll ever since.

Reel Food or Man Catchin Meals

Reel Food: Essays on Food and Film

Author: Anne L Bower

Reel Food is the first book devoted to food as a vibrant and evocative element of film, featuring original essays by major food studies scholars, among them Carole Counihan and Michael Ashkenazi. This collection reads various films through their uses of food-from major "food films" like Babette's Feast and Big Night to less obvious choices including The Godfather trilogy and The Matrix. The contributors draw attention to the various ways in which food is employed to make meaning in film. In some cases, such as Soul Food and Tortilla Soup, for example, food is used to represent racial and ethnic identities. In other cases, such as Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate, food plays a role in gender and sexual politics. And, of course, there is also discussion of the centrality of popcorn to the movie-going experience.
This book is a feast for scholars, "foodies," and cinema buffs. Itwill be of major interest to anyone working in popular culture, film studies, and food studies, at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Man Catchin' Meals

Author: Lucy

A cookbook every girl (or guy) should have when trying to land that "special" man.

We were three single young women, working and living in San Francisco. We were all busy with our careers, traveling, and of course, dating. We all tried to have dinner together at least once a month to share the trials and tribulations of our love lives. One night, the meal was so delicious that some one at the table yelled out, "Damn! This is a man catchin' meal!!"

So began our search for meals that were so delicious that if you cooked one for a guy, he would want to be yours forever. There are all sorts of resources available today to help you meet a man: singles clubs, "rule" books, personal ads...but none tells you how to land your man. And that, my friends, is what this book is all about.

With more than 150 truly authentic recipes, this comprehensive cookbook covers everything the pasta fanatic needs to know--from dough and shapes to sauces and stuffings.

The book opens with an informative chapter on making your own fresh pasta, including specialist needs such as wheat-free pastas. Following are chapters on Pasta Soups, Instant Pasta, Everyday Pasta, Light and Healthy Pasta, and Pasta to Impress. Throughout the book are master class recipes built to lend themselves to myriad variations, according to taste and seasonal availability; you could develop a new and delicious pasta meal for every day of the year. Innovative methods for cooking pasta, such as baking in parchment paper, simmering in broth, poaching in a roll, deep frying, and baking in a sweet tart are presented in stunning stylish photography that demonstrates how to prepare and serve pasta.

With an enthusiastic Italian chef as your guide, Truly, Madly Pasta offers up a treasury of authentic recipes that are sourced from every region of Italy, as well as from the author's own family and friends.

Publishers Weekly

Frequently leaving her London digs to teach cooking in her native Italy, Ferrigno (Risotto) assembles more than 150 recipes in this oddly titled book based on the ingredient she extols as "a complex-carbohydrate food" that "isn't high in calories at all," although she concedes that sauces often are. Not exactly "ultimate," this is more suitable to cooks new to the joys of pasta, because it is heavily weighted toward such mainstays as Pasta with Garlic and Oil, Farfalle with Gorgonzola Cream, and Spaghetti with Mushrooms. Recipes are arranged in six sections-"Soups," "Instant," "Everyday," "Light and Healthy," "Cook Ahead" and "Pasta to Impress"-and nearly all are within easy reach of cooks at any level. Among the most appealing are Conchiglie with Roasted Vegetables, Roasted Bell Pepper Pesto with Penne Rigate and Lasagne with Meatballs. The pastas to impress include Cheese Cappellacci with Bolognese Sauce (egg- and cheese-stuffed morsels shaped like bishops' miters) and Spinach, Ricotta and Tomato Pasta Roll, which is a long stuffed roll, wrapped in cheesecloth and boiled for 30 minutes, then sliced and broiled for five more. As expected from Rizzoli, the 175 color photos are sumptuous, including an 18-photo sequence demonstrating the steps for making pasta by hand. (June) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Publishers Weekly

Scottish cookbook author Lawrence (Sue Lawrence's Scottish Kitchen) returns with a representative sampling of UK favorites ranging from a simple, basic bread to the elaborate Buche de Noel. Novice bakers will appreciate Lawrence's calm and reassuring tone and her salient tips for bread-baking should assuage most fears. Those with a soft spot for Anglican and European baked goods that will get the most out of the book. Savory meat pies, treacle tarts, linzertorte and the like dominate, though a fair but curious selection of American dishes (New York Cheesecake, Sour Cream Raisin Pie, cornbread and Coca-Cola Cake) make appearances as well. It adds up to a strange hodge-podge of recipes, like rifling through an anglophile relative's recipe box full of dishes clipped from newspapers that sounded good at the time.

Best of Regional Thai Cuisine or Absolute Beginners Guide to Cooking

Best of Regional Thai Cuisine

Author: Chat Mingkwan

Here is the first cookbook to explore the specialties of each region of Thailand! Thai people have taken the best of culinary influences from nearby countries such as China, India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Burma and Vietnam, and adapted them to produce distinctly Thai creations like "Galangal Chicken," "Green Curry Chicken," and "Three Flavor Prawns."

Chef Chat Mingkwan takes the reader-chef on a culinary tour of his home country, offering favorites from each of Thailand's four regions: the cool, mountainous North, where "Curried Egg Noodles" are the signature dish; the drier Northeast (Isan) where resourceful chefs rely on staples like glutinous rice and dried fish; the fertile Central region, which is home to Bangkok, abundant with seafood as well as fruits and vegetables; and the tropical South where locally grown coconut is a popular ingredient and where the majority of Thailand's Muslim population is concentrated, thus making seafood and chicken curries the classic dishes of the region. In addition to over 150 recipes, all adapted for the North American kitchen, Mingkwan provides helpful sections on Thai spices and ingredients as well as cooking techniques.

The ECO Foods Guide or Crazy for Chipotle

The ECO-Foods Guide: What's Good for the Earth Is Good for You!, Vol. 1

Author: Cynthia Barstow

We are what we eat, as the saying goes. So it follows that if we want to be healthy, we should buy healthy foods. And for foods to be healthy, the earth they grow in also needs to be in good health. This might seem like Ecology 101, but it's what many supermarket shoppers are grappling with nowadays as they try to decide what to feed the family.

The Eco-Foods Guide is a lively conversation with consumers that takes the gloom out of our grocery choices and empowers shoppers to vote with their food dollars for the environment and for a safe future for their grandchildren. Frankenfoods and more have made food shopping so frightening and complex that the result has often been paralysis or denial. But in this optimistic and even humorous jaunt through the topic, sustainable agriculture expert Cynthia Barstow encourages readers to walk away bubbling with opportunities to buy what's best-most of the time-and to even engage with the many others working to effect change in agriculture.

In a straightforward style, The Eco-Foods Guide ex-amines the downside: pesticides and growth hormones, biotechnology and processed foods, manufacturing concentration and animal husbandry, and the overuse of nonrenewable resources. At the same time, it highlights alternatives and solutions, including:

Eating seasonally

Buying local

Reforming school cafeteria menus

Shopping at farmer's markets

Eating at Chef's Collaborative restaurants

Supporting labeling, organic, and IPM production methods

Regarding our food again as sacred

Cynthia Barstow is adjunct faculty at the University ofMassachusetts and an environmental/sustainable agriculture marketing consultant and speaker. Previously VP of marketing for a $3 billion Manhattan restaurant, her clients have included the World Wildlife Fund and the University of Wisconsin Madison "Protected Harvest" eco-label program.

The texture, wholesome goodness, and flavor of corn make it a remarkably versatile grain, complementing everything from frittatas to Posole, soufflйs to Shepherd's Pie. In Corn, author Olwen Woodier celebrates this downhome, delicious, all-purpose comfort food through 140 easy-to-prepare recipes. Here are corn starters: Tortilla Pizza, Blue Blazes Hush Puppies. Corn Soups: Tortilla Soup, Lobster and Corn Chowder. Corn Salads: Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Salad, Corn Pasta Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing. Corn in the main: Salmon with Corn Pancakes, Corn-Tortilla Crusted Fish, Corn and Cheese Tamales. Breads: Bacon-Scallion Muffins, Skillet Corn Bread.

Woodier also includes a complete history of corn, a cook's primer on corn varieties, corn nutritional information, and special grower and chef profiles.

Author Biography: Olwen Woodier is a nationally syndicated feature writer with the New York Times and has written articles for National Geographic Traveler and National Wildlife Magazine. She is the author of five books, including Apple Cookbook, winner of the Tastemaker Award, now known as the James Beard Foundation Kitchen Aid Book Award. She lives in Virginia.

Library Journal

The author of The Apple Cookbook here offers 140 recipes featuring another one of her favorite ingredients, from appetizers to desserts, along with breakfast dishes, snacks, and lots of breads and muffins. Most of the recipes are simple and homey; some are vegetarian, and several feature tofu, but this is a vegetable, not a vegetarian, cookbook. (One caveat: Woodier mentions that she usually does not cook with salt, and readers who are not on restricted diets will no doubt find that they need to add some to many of the dishes.) Betty Fussell's Crazy for Corn is the cookbook on the topic (she also wrote a history, The Story of Corn), but larger libraries will want to add Woodier's.

Women Who Eat: A New Generation on the Glory of Food

Author: Leslie Miller

Move over, Betty Crocker. Women are reclaiming their pots and pans, but it's a new era in the kitchen. Today's generation of women is putting a fresh spin on the "joy of cooking"—and eating and entertaining. Women both in and out of the culinary profession share their stories about the many ways food shapes and enhances their lives. New York Times columnist Amanda Hesser praises the joys of simple food, and Food and Wine editor Kate Sekules discusses the importance of having a restaurant where you're recognized. Theresa Lust, author of Pass the Polenta, vividly remembers a childhood making sauerkraut with her grandmother, while Gabrielle Hamilton, chef-owner of the New York restaurant Prune, explores her own "unapologetic carnivorism" and Michelle Tea describes her working-class Polish family's meals as "tripe, kielbasa, shellfish and beer." One woman owns up to her culinary ineptitude in an era when being a gourmet cook is all the rage, while another remembers preferring chicken nuggets from the cafeteria to mom's homemade vegetable biryani. Women Who Eat not only presents an illuminating look at food today, but dishes out generous helpings of great prose that are sure to titillate the palate. Recipes are included.

The essays in Women Who Eat are so associated with love that reading it will send you into the kitchen or the arms of your own love, so intertwined are food and relationships. — Lynne Perri

Publishers Weekly

All the essays in this mixed collection serve to explode the myth that women are constant dieters, more worried about thinning their thighs than pleasing their palates, and several include recipes. Terez Rose's account of how fiercely she missed the most pedestrian American foods when doing a Peace Corps stint in Gabon offers both Mom's Egg Casserole and Terez's African Egg Casserole. The most successful pieces, like Cheryl Strayed's tale of learning to make the perfect pudding for a tapioca-loving man, hew closely to a single subject. Likewise, Lela Nargi's account of firing her therapist because she disapproved of the woman's insistence on seeing food as a problem is perfectly on point. Pooja Makhijani recalls how she traded the aloo tikis her mother packed for lunch (recipe included) for a newly arrived immigrant classmate's more acceptably American fare. Karen Eng writes about food in works of children's literature, such as Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books. Debra Meadow's exploration of her grandmother's mandelbrot-almond cookies that predated biscotti for most Jewish Americans-traces a love of cooking passed through generations. Hers is one of the few essays that focus on a family member (grandmothers, mothers and fathers feature heavily here) without losing its way. The impulse to reclaim food as a source of enjoyment is admirable, but the meandering tone of several of these pieces gives them the feel of a dish whipped up to satisfy hunger rather than to be savored.

Library Journal

Dispelling the notion that all women count calories, this collection of 29 essays by food reporters, editors, authors, journalists, and zinesters extol the virtues of eating. Don't expect to find essays on celebrity chefs or postmodern food trends; these essays explore the intimate side of food that comforts, transports, or takes us home. Topics range from cooking for boyfriends and attending Baking Boot Camp to working in a Jewish-owned Italian kitchen, along with an obligatory essay on a mother eating her placenta. In her touching essay, "The Way to a Woman's Heart," Stephanie Susnjara describes her father's passion for gastronomy during an era in which women dominated the kitchen and tells how her husband, after her father's sudden death, picked up where her father left off. Entertaining and well written, this title is recommended for most cookery and women's studies.-Pauline Baughman, Multnomah Cty. Lib., Portland, OR Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
