Murder Etouffee

Author: Eric Wilder

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.

Daniel Johnness Top 200 Wines or Nutrition and Alcohol

Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines: An Expert's Guide to Maximum Enjoyment for Your Dollar

Author: Daniel Johnnes

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: 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.

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.

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.

James Baker contributes a detailed and well organized story about cranberries from the pre-colonial period to the present day. Liz Clark's marvelous and mouthwatering recipes will alert everyone to the nutritional and culinary value of the cranberry. Cranberries are more American than apple pie.

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.
