Good cooking is an exciting, original cookbook that will supersede outdated traditional basic cookbooks on the kitchen shelf.

From a Bakers Kitchen or Jack Sprat Low Fat Diet

From a Baker's Kitchen

Author: Gail Sher

Twenty years since its first publication, From a Baker's Kitchen remains the very best single introduction to foolproof professional-quality home baking. Gail Sher—the first head baker of the celebrated Tassajara Bread Bakery in San Francisco—created more than 100 clear, foolproof, and wonderfully varied recipes, divided into two basic categories: yeasted breads, ranging from white breads to whole-wheat, rye and specialty-flour breads (including recipes for rolls and buns as well as loaves); and quick breads, covering corn breads, spoonbreads, biscuits, tea cakes, batter breads, gingerbread, and muffins. Sher also covers every ingredient: grains, leaveners, salt, liquids, shortening, eggs, and "embellishments"; equipment; and most originally, methods and principles of breadmaking, with a special discussion of her ingenious "sponge" method, which no less a baker than Rose Levy Beranbaum (The Bread Bible) has praised as crucial to her own understanding of bread baking—and which remains the most effective technique for creating flavorful bread. Over 100 drawings are also featured in this reset new edition of the all-in-one classic baking book.

The Best American Recipes 2002-2003

Author: Fran McCullough

What is a best American recipe?
It's simple but sophisticated.
It tastes exceptional.
It's one you want to make again and are dying to share with your friends.
It introduces a surprisingly easy technique or gives you a new way to use a favorite ingredient.
It produces the best possible version of a dish.

For this edition, Fran McCullough, one of the nation's most respected cookbook editors, and Molly Stevens, a cookbook author and contributing editor for Fine Cooking, searched through hundreds of sources and then selected the very best -- 150 recipes in all.


You'll find recipes from the biggest names in food, such as the celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Bobby Flay; from esteemed cookbook authors, including Marion Cunningham and Deborah Madison; and from renowned food journalists, like Gourmet's Ruth Reichl and the New York Times's Amanda Hesser. You'll also get superlative recipes from home cooks, such as a scene-stealing side dish and an heirloom holiday dessert.

The Best American Recipes includes notes on the most popular ingredients, time-saving techniques, and the most useful kitchen tools. With crowd-pleasing recipes like Party Cheese Crackers, such weeknight suppers as Simple Salmon, and special-occasion dishes including Spice-Rubbed Turkey and Chocolate Truffle Cake, The Best American Recipes equips you with everything you need to be the most confident cook on the block.

Publishers Weekly

The latest volume in this annual series, with a foreword from enfant terrible culinaire Bourdain (Kitchen Confidential; A Cook's Tour) that concludes "Cook free or die," strives to be of-the-moment, but sometimes feels generic. The recipes collected from books, magazines, newspapers, and the Internet are perfectly serviceable and occasionally truly innovative (Grape Salsa from the San Francisco Chronicle). Each recipe appears with a source, a cook and a header from the editors, as well as helpful cook's notes derived from the testing of approximately 700 recipes during the process of compiling the book. For example, a recipe for Laksa (Malaysian Noodle Soup) from a handout at Ramekins, a California cooking school, has a header that offers an aromatic description of the finished product, as well as notes on variations, a recommendation for buying laksa paste and suggestions for leftovers. Certain recipes are notable for their techniques: Chickpea Salad with Four-minute Eggs from Food & Wine includes a reliable method for soft-cooking an egg so that it coats a salad like a dressing. McCullough (Low-Carb Cookbook) and Stevens (One Potato, Two Potato) produce a list of top-10 trends, and while some observations may seem stale (the return of butter, the popularity of grilling and the national obsession with chocolate) others (bread as an ingredient rather than on its own, "eggs over everything," and cabbage) do surprise. (Oct.) Forecast: This entry in the annual series falls in line with earlier offerings, meaning it will appeal to those who appreciate kitchen quirkiness. Anthony Bourdain's name on the cover may attract additional sales. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

Enemy of the Steak or Libro de Cocina Ilustrado de la Nueva Dieta Atkins

Enemy of the Steak: Vegetarian Recipes to Win Friends and Influence Meat-Eaters

Author: Nikki Goldbeck

Don't blame vegetarians for starting this. Who said "real food for real people"? Aren't asparagus, carrots, and tomatoes real? How about all the other delicious fruits and vegetables? Aren't they every bit as real as . that other food? To answer the call to battle, best-selling authors David and Nikki Goldbeck have created a wonderful new cookbook that offers over 300 kitchen-tested recipes--recipes that nourish the body, please the palate, and satisfy the heartiest of appetites.

Enemy of the Steak is divided into fourteen exciting sections: Beyond Basic Breakfasts, Liberating Lunches, Delightful Dinners, Simple Baking, Satisfying Snacks, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Spreads, Elegant Appetizers and Hors D'oeuvres, Super Salads and Salad Dressings, Sensational Soups, Saucy Sauces and Over-the-Top Toppings, A-Company Accompaniments, Winning Main Dishes, Sinfully Good Desserts, and Drinks for Your Health. Throughout the book, the Goldbecks have included practical tips and advice on weight loss, disease prevention, and other important topics. They also offer dozens of fascinating facts about why fruits and veggies are so good for you.

Enemy of the Steak is for everyone who loves a good healthy meal. Simply put, it's great food for smart people. If you have to take sides, you couldn't be in better company.

Marija Sanderling - Library Journal

The Goldbecks, veteran vegetarian cookbook authors, go back to basics with this book, whose opening chapters, titled "Stocking the Pantry" and "Basic Training," provide an excellent introduction to the concept of vegetarianism for newcomers. "Basic Training" offers advice on how to roast, steam, grill, and pressure-cook a wide variety of vegetables, grains, and legumes. The featured recipes range over breakfast options, soups, entrées, sauces, and desserts and emphasize low fat and high fiber, balance carbohydrates and protein, and eliminate trans fats for healthy menu choices. None of the ingredients is too exotic to be found in regular supermarkets. The recipes are nutritionally sound and good tasting but not exceptional. Use of more spices would have made this a better cookbook. No nutritional information for the recipes is given, but the index is excellent. If you need a general vegetarian cookbook on your shelves, this is a good choice for the money. Otherwise, pass.

White Dog Cafe Cookbook or Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter

White Dog Cafe Cookbook: Recipes and Tales of Adventure from Philadelphia's Revolutionary Restaurant

Author: Judy Wicks

The White Dog Cafe has earned interational acclaim for its exceptional food, innovative menus,and commitment to community involvement and social responsibility. Now, in their first cookbook, Proprietor Judy Wicks and Chef Kevin von Klause share 250 kitchen-tested recipes for their internationally inspired American cuisine, along with tales of adventure from more than 15 years of implementing the White Dog's philosophy of 'eating well while doing good.'

They accomplish this by using the freshest produce available, buying it from local farmers, sponsoring and interacting with sister restaurants around the world and at home, and opening up their restaurant as a forum for lectures and debates on social issues from public education and environmental protection to bioethics and international peace.<>p>Illustrated with Judy Wicks' delightful line drawings and evocative black-and-white photographs of the restaurant's canine-inspired decor, the Whitte Dog Cafe Cookbook is an entertaining read and an important culinary reference sure to inspire any cook -- in the kitchen or in the community.

The New York Times - Marchese

The White Dog Cafe has become not only one of [Philadelphia's] most consistently popular and well-reviewed restaurants, but also Ms. Wicks' chautauqua.

Publishers Weekly

Wicks, a community activist, and von Klause, a chef, are partners in a 15-year-old Philadelphia restaurant known for its advocacy of organic foods and innovative food preparation. Here, they offer some 250 recipes. As is often the case with restaurant-based cookbooks, however, a significant number of dishes require considerable skill and time, e.g., Baked Shrimp and Pork Spring Rolls with Apricot-Pickled Ginger Dipping Sauce. The homemade pasta in Braised Wild Mushrooms Under Herb-Printed Pasta requires fresh herbs sandwiched between two thin sheets of dough. Chili-Rubbed Duck Breasts with Sun-Dried Cherry Glaze calls for one cup of Veal Demi-Glac, which can be prepared in advance but takes up to five hours to reduce. Some dishes, such as Watermelon and Shrimp Salad with Jalapeno-Lime Dressing, unite ingredients with startling invention. The authors shine with simpler meals such as Sauted Chicken and Mushrooms in Marsala-Sage Sauce and Tarragon-Braised Lamb Shanks. Photos not seen by PW. (Mar.)

Author: Christopher G J Baker

Drying is fundamental step in the maufacture of many foods. Although its primary function is to remove appropriate quantities of moisture it is, in many cases, also responsible for imparting the characteristic qualities that distinguish one product from another.

A comprehensive description and assessment of the different types of dryers available to the industry are given and factors effecting the operation, control and selection of dryers are described. The combination of practical information supported by relevant theory makes this an essential volume for industrial food engineers, those involved in equipment manufacture, process plant design and new product development in all food sectors where dried foods are used. It will also be of interest to academic researchers in this aspect of food engineering.

Weeknight Grilling with the BBQ Queens: Making Meals Fast and Fabulous

Author: Karen Adler

The BBQ Queens are back to show the world that grilling is not just for the weekend! In Weeknight Grilling with the BBQ Queens, Karen Adler and Judith Fertig offer 100 easy and versatile recipes for weeknight dinners on the grill, and most can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. The Queens' straightforward, fun-loving approach shakes up the monotonous routine of cooking dinner and gives busy people everything they need to get healthy, great-tasting meals on the table quickly. All the recipes and suggestions needed for each dinner are included on a two-page spread for maximum convenience, and the ingredients called for are either readily available in grocery stores or already sitting in the pantry. The BBQ Queens explain a variety of grilling techniques, such as skewering and stir-grilling; offer Time-Saving Tiara Touches providing shortcuts and other ways to streamline dinner prep; and include recipes for turning grilled leftovers into wonderful new dishes.

Publishers Weekly

The authors of the BBQ Queens' Big Book of Barbecue apply their trademark can-do spirit to the ever-popular weeknight dinner format. Every dish-whether a salad, burger, steak or otherwise-can be grilled over a variety of fires, from briquettes to wood pellets, in 45 minutes (including prep time). With tiaras planted firmly atop their heads, Adler and Fertig show how to save time by using prepared supermarket items, including salad greens, hard-boiled eggs, sliced pepperoni, already-cut cheese, shredded carrots and cabbage, and three-bean salad, rationalizing, "You'll pay a little more, but isn't your sanity worth it?" Additions to each recipe-set apart in notes headed "You've Got Dinner!"-list easy and complementary side dishes, like Saut ed Green Beans to accompany Low Country Black-Eyed Peas and Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing (although recipes for the sides, which are generally simple, aren't offered). The introductory chapter, "Weeknight Grilling with a Tiara Touch," reveals techniques, utensils and timetables. Recipes involve many trendy ingredients (e.g., hearts of palm, baby bok choi, turkey steaks), and the sheer variety of ingredients will let home cooks call on whatever happens to be in their pantry. 2-color illus.

Library Journal

The BBQ Queens-the ones who wear tiaras while they grill-are back, with a follow-up to The BBQ Queens' Big Book of Barbecue. Here they present 100 easy recipes that can usually be prepared in 30 to 45 minutes or less. Most of them include suggestions for rounding out the menu, and many provide timesavers ("Tiara Tips"); boxes titled "Life in the Fast Lane" offer additional ideas for quick fixes, finishing touches, and the like. The tiara gimmick wears thin after a while, but the recipes are fresh, simple, and appealing. For most collections. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Hardy Gingers or Spago Desserts

Hardy Gingers: Including Hedychium, Roscoea, and Zingiber (Royal Horticultural Society Plant Collector Guide Series)

Author: T M E Branney

Flamboyant members of the family Zingiberaceae — including Hedychium, Curcuma, Roscoea, and Zingiber — are once again on the wanted list as people discover their intricately constructed flowers, beautiful perfumes, and lush foliage. Although the majority of gingers originate in the tropics, a substantial number come from temperate zones or high altitudes and are perfectly at home in the temperate garden. These hardy gingers are the primary subject of this book. In the wild, gingers fit a variety of ecological niches, and diversity is the key to their success in the garden. They make dramatic focal points in tropical-style plantings but can look equally impressive in traditional herbaceous borders, woodland settings, rock gardens, water gardens and containers. Branney charts the history of gingers from their 19th-century heyday through modern-day hybridization programmes to the latest introductions of new species. A comprehensive plant directory ranges wide in its coverage. Valuable cultivation advice includes techniques for breaking dormancy, maintaining soil nutrition, and understanding individual plants' hardiness requirements. Captivating photographs complement the descriptions and convey the distinctive charms of these irresistible plants. This book brims with new finds that will tempt newcomers, delight enthusiasts, and ensure hardy gingers a place in every 21st-century garden.

Spago Desserts

Author: Mary Bergin

Mary Bergin's fabulous desserts have helped make Spago, winner of the 1994 James Beard Award for the best restaurant of the year, a landmark the world over. Now, in these pages, Bergin tells us her secrets. First, start with basic recipes: Chocolate Chiffon Cake, Buttermilk Cake, Cheesecake, Brioche, Shortcakes, Puff Pastry, and Pie Dough. Then, as Bergin shows us, you can vary these basics to produce such wonders as Austrian Chocolate Cake, Lemon Buttermilk Cake, White Chocolate Rum Raisin Cheesecake, Apricot Rolls, Peach and Berry Cobbler, Apple Pear Tarte Tatin, Fresh Cherry Lattice Tart, and many, many more.

The unique ability of Mary Bergin and Judy Gethers, Wolfgang Puck's longtime collaborator, to break down even the most complex recipes into simple basics makes this book perfect not only for seasoned bakers, but also for enterprising novices. To aid beginners, the authors include an extensive glossary of ingredients, equipment, and techniques, as well as numerous practical illustrations that clarify and complement the written text. The instructions are clear and simple, replete with helpful tips and advice.

In Spago Desserts, you will find everything from Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies to Cherry Clafouti. Great Spago staples, such as the sumptuous Opera Cake, are intermixed with simple pleasures — Brownies, Spago's Old-fashioned Apple Pie, muffins of all shapes and sizes — and not-so-simple pleasures, such as Tiramisu, Fresh Berry Napoleon with Caramel Sauce, and Chocolate Truffles with Brandied Apricots. For those who wish to indulge less sinfully, the authors have also included a few superb fat-free recipes, such as Grapefruit Vodka Sorbet andStrawberries in Port Wine.

Bergin and Gethers have worked for years with Wolfgang Puck, Spago's chef and owner, and have mastered the rare blend of classical teaching and innovative spirit that have made Spago in Los Angeles and the new Spago in Las Vegas among the best restaurants in the world. Spago Desserts is a brilliant addition to the Spago line of cookbooks, and, like its predecessors, it is sure to become a modern classic. Now you can make these desserts, whether fat-free or sinfully delicious, at home, exactly as they are prepared in the Spago kitchens.

Library Journal

Bergin is the executive pastry chef at the Las Vegas branch of Wolfgang Puck's acclaimed Spago restaurant. With coauthor Gethers, a food writer, she presents the favorite Spago desserts, from Austrian Chocolate Cake to Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles. The authors have made a real effort to make even their most complicated recipes accessible to the home cook, with thoughtful explanations of various techniques, clear recipe directions, and substitutions or adaptations when necessary. Puck's cookbooks (most recently, Adventures in the Kitchen, LJ 12/91), like his restaurants, are popular, and this one from his pastry chef is likely to be too.

Recipes from the Old Mill or Coffee Time Quilts

Recipes from the Old Mill

Author: Sarah E Myers

Simple grains yield rich breads that range from the mystically light to the substantially chewy. These breads offer incontestable food value and flavor; they will satisfy and delight those sensitive to nutritional concerns.

"This collection of 170-plus healthful recipes using a variety of whole grains is also a meditation on the staff of life, both organic and spiritual." -- Publishers Weekly

Publishers Weekly

The authors are sisters who grew up near their family's stream-powered grist mill in West Virginia. Their collection of 170-plus healthful recipes using a variety of whole grains is also a meditation on the staff of life, both organic and spiritual. Five chapters on kinds of grain (Corn, Wheat, Rye, Buckwheat and Multi-Grain) offer selections of grain-specific recipes (e.g., Corn Chips and Roberta's Sourdough Rye loaves). Five more chapters expand on categories like Main Dishes and Desserts. Straightforward tips included at the end of recipes (e.g., ways to shape rolls and buns) are reassuringly helpful and are listed in the table of contents for easy reference. The range of recipes, especially for those using whole wheat flour, is extensive: 100% Whole Wheat French Bread, Whole Wheat Brownie Pie, Whole Wheat Tortillas. Recipes for using doughnut holes to make muffins or for throwing stale bread and aging cheese into a bread souffle articulate the authors' principles of good stewardship of the earth's resources. Pen-and-ink drawings add to the charm of this book, which will appeal to novice and veteran bakers. The authors make no mention of bread machines. (Oct.)

Library Journal

The authors are sisters who grew up near an old grain mill, and Lind's husband is the miller there today. Both sisters have a background in home economics (Lind is a registered dietitian), and these are the recipes they have developed over the years. There are corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat, and multigrain breads, as well as some main dishes and desserts based on grains. Many old-fashioned breads are included, and the book has a nice, homey feel. A number of excellent books by artisan bakers have appeared in recent years, including Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker (LJ 12/92); with its sense of home and family, Recipes from the Old Mill has its own appeal.

In the Hands of A Chef or 500 Mediterranean Recipes

In the Hands of A Chef: Cooking with Jody Adams of Rialto Restaurant

Author: Jody Adams

How do great chefs make their food taste better? Is it the ingredients they use? Their cooking techniques and equipment? That's part of the answer. But the real secret is that truly great chefs follow their instincts -- the kitchens in their heads. Now, in her first cookbook, Jody Adams, the award-winning chef/co-owner of Boston's Rialto, teaches you how to follow your own instincts and make the transition from passionate eater to passionate cook.

In the Hands of a Chef shares Jody's favorite dishes, those she prepares for family and friends in her home kitchen. By teaching the basics of artisanal cooking, or making good food from scratch, she gives cooks a solid foundation for cooking like a chef. She tells readers what to look for when buying ingredients, what equipment is essential, and how a dish should look and taste while being prepared.

Above all, Jody encourages readers to trust their instincts and follow them to create a cooking style that feels right, using recipes as the building blocks for their own creations.

From starters, seasonal soups, salads, and main courses to desserts, Jody reinvents Mediterranean foods using unconventional ingredients, many from New England. For a boost of summer flavor, grilled tomatoes add depth to gazpacho. To vary the flavor of simple salads -- from a Minted Romaine Salad with Grapes, Ricotta Salata, and Toasted Almonds to Arugula and Portobella Mushroom Salad-one or two seasonal ingredients are added to the usual recipes. Drawing inspiration from Italian tradition, Jody offers up innovative pasta and grains dishes. Ravioli, pappardelle, gnocchi, and linguine are served up with Mediterranean flavors and ingredients-- tomatoes, olives, figs, chestnuts, fresh greens, wild mushrooms, Parmesan cheese -- for home-style meals any time of the year. Yet much of Jody's cooking is pure American in flavor. Dessert classics are reinvented with new twists, such as Super-Creamy Rice Pudding with Passion Fruit Sauce and Heather's Cranberry Chocolate Pecan Tart. Here, too, are Jody's signature dishes, including Roasted Marinated Long Island Duck with Green Olive and Balsamic Vinegar Sauce and Soupe de Poisson, which Jacques Pépin calls the best version outside of France.

Intended to make you wish you had more time to spend in the kitchen, In the Hands of a Chef is an inspiration as well as an essential resource for every cook. Why be just a good cook when you can be a great one? Put yourself in the hands of Jody Adams with In the Hands of a Chef.

Publishers Weekly

Adams, chef at Boston's acclaimed restaurant Rialto, identifies two popular cookbook approaches easy and elaborate and calls for a third: "artisanal home food." As lovely as this sounds, this book also falls under the heading of complicated. However, Rialto's fans will cheer at the chapter of signature recipes like Soupe de Poisson and Roasted Marinated Long Island Duck with Green Olive and Balsamic Vinegar Sauce. Smoked Salmon Rolls with Arugula, Mascarpone, Chives and Capers and sophisticated entries like Grilled Bluefish with Pomegranate Glaze and Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce are perfect for dinner parties. Terrific sides like Beet and Spinach Salad with Goat Cheese and Grilled Fresh Figs double as light lunches. Helpful sidebars explain, for example, how not to overcook pork, but instructions on "How to Break Down a Duck" are confusing. Recipe titles read like advanced Tai Chi maneuvers: Acquacotta Porcini Broth with Soft Polenta, Taleggio, and a Poached Egg... and truffle oil, if the authors hadn't run out of space. There are some exceptions to the elaborate rule, such as Roasted Tomato and Farro Soup, Oliver's Chicken Stew and Orzo in Chicken Broth with Many Greens and Asiago. The pasta chapter includes homemade pastas, and a pizza chapter with fairly simple recipes, but the book gets its mileage out of more elaborate dishes like Fried Rabbit in Hazelnut Crumbs with Peaches and Braised Oxtails with White Beans. In the end, the recipes are clearly written and certainly delectable. Illus. not seen by PW. (Jan.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Taste of Hawaii

Author: Jean Marie Josselin

Hawaii is at the center of one of the most enduring fusion-food trends-Pacific Rim cooking. A Taste of Hawaii was ahead of its time in 1992, when it was first published in hardcover: In Spring 2000, the trade paperback will find a ready, hungry market. Shattering the mainland's stereotype of luau food-poi, pineapple, and roast pig- the 125 recipes in A Taste of Hawaii combine fresh ingredients indigenous to the islands with local seafood and tropical produce. The acclaimed Jean-Marie Josselin, chef-owner of the enormously popular A Pacific Cafe, which is located in Kauai, Oahu, and Maui, brings classical French training to Hawaii's exotic fare. His multicultural concoctions result in unique, utterly delicious dishes. Stunning photos and sensual illustrations make the book as irresistible as the food.

Cognac: The Seductive Saga of the World's Most Coveted Spirit

Author: Kyle Jarrard

"Rich in history and admirable scholarship. . . . It's a fine grande champagne of a book, to be savored over and over."
-Patricia Wells, author of The Provence Cookbook Called the "brandy of the gods" by Victor Hugo, Cognac is a universal symbol of refinement and quality. In the first comprehensive history of this celebrated drink, Kyle Jarrard charts Cognac's birth in the 1500s and its transformation into the world's most coveted brandy. Along the way, he reveals how Cognac distillers weathered vineyard die-offs, the German occupation, and other challenges over the years-and offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Hennessy, Remy-Martin, Courvoisier, Martell, and other legendary brands.
For any Cognac lover, this fascinating book will make the perfect gift.
Kyle Jarrard (Paris, France) is a senior editor at the International Herald Tribune and author of the highly acclaimed novels Over There and Rolling the Bones.

Publishers Weekly

It's fitting that a Paris-based novelist and International Herald Tribune editor should chronicle the history of the famously refined French brandy. And Jarrard does a nice job of it, offering a thorough, well-researched and objective history of cognac. He begins with a geological history of the French province of Charente, on the Atlantic coast, where the town of Cognac is located. The Romans brought the first grapes to the region, but it would be centuries before viniculture really took root there. The earliest attempts to make what we now call cognac began during the Middle Ages, as alchemists and apothecaries experimented with putting local grape pressings through their distillation apparatuses. While France evolved from a feudal kingdom into an imperial, colonial power, the cognac-making process developed, although factors like weather and warfare often prevented distilleries from obtaining the necessary raw materials. By the Napoleonic era, however, cognac began appearing on the world market, and its makers worked at refining their product and their methods as demand for the elegant, amber, aromatic brandy increased. Jarrard brings the story to the present, examining the various brands dominating the market today, including Hennessy, Remy-Martin and Courvoisier. Although a more driving narrative and some strongly defined characters would've given this text more life, it's a must for aficionados. B&w photos. (Mar.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

Novelist Jarrard (Rolling the Bones) tries his hand at nonfiction in this history of the Cognac business. The first part of the book provides a rather ordinary survey of French history and how geology, politics, and religion contributed to the economic development of the Cognac region and its famous distilled spirits. In the last part of the book, however, Jarrard shifts to profiling the firms and people of today who contribute to the current success of the Cognac trade. Cognac production comes to life, and Jarrard provides a fascinating look at the growers, barrel-makers, bottle-makers, and producers of Cognac. In this respect, he succeeds in doing for Cognac what William Echickson did for Bordeaux in Noble Rot: A Bordeaux Wine Revolution. Since tasting notes are sparse, this book will appeal more to readers interested in the business rather than the sipping of Cognac. Recommended for large public libraries and special collections.-Andrea R. Dietze, Orange Cty. P.L., Santa Ana, CA Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Southern Herb Growing or Complete Guide to Convenience Food Counts

Southern Herb Growing

Author: Madalene Hill

The Art of herb growing is enjoying a renaissance in this country, as more and more people are rediscovering the sensory pleasures and tangible rewards of the ancient plants we call herbs. Growers in the American South, where herb gardening can be a sometimes frustrating experience, want to know more about selecting and tending plants in the hot, humid conditions of their region. The varietal lists and cultural information emanating from England or the northeastern United States do not work for the Southern grower. English lavender and French tarragon, for instance, often languish in warm, wet conditions, and instructions that dictate planting parsley in spring in full sun will result in dead plants by August in most Southern areas. It was more than thirty years ago that Madalene Hill and her late husband, Jim, established the Hilltop Herb Farm near Cleveland-a southeast Texas area with growing conditions much like those of most of the South. Their energy and skill, both in growing and cooking with herbs, attracted a strong following in a day when herbs were thought to be strange little plants revered only by a few.

In Southern Herb Growing, Madalene Hill and daughter Gwen Barclay offer a comprehensive guide to growing more than 130 herbs in the conditions peculiar to the American South. With some 300 color photographs to enhance the text, this handsome guidebook tells what to plant, when to plant it, and how to take care of it. Besides the basics of propagating, cultivating, and harvesting, you'll discover pointers on garden design, tips for using herbs, and hundreds of the fascinating historical tidbits that are such an important aspect of the charm of these plants. A special feature of the book is a treasury of 100 exciting recipes from the Hilltop Herb Farm. You'll find mouth-watering appetizers such as Sorrel-Stuffed Mushrooms and Hilltop's Boursin Cheese, savory soups like the cool and creamy Champagne Melon Soup, and refreshingly different salads, vegetable dishes, main courses and scrumptious desserts - dishes proven popular time and time again at the tables of the Hilltop Herb Farm Restaurant.

Curye on Inglysch or Growing and Using Cilantro

Curye on Inglysch (Middle English recipes)

Author: Constance B Hieatt

This unique collection of recipes, or menus as they include not only how to make a dish but also how and when to serve it, has been compiled from more than twenty medieval manuscripts. The recipes date from the fourteenth century and are the earliest such examples in English. Interestingly, it appears that many of these recipes, found only on the menus of the upper classes, remained virtually unchanged until the sixteenth century. The menus include the all-important order of serving, that strict etiquette that ruled medieval mealtimes, and which meant that most members of a household were only entitled to the first course and that the more delicate dishes were served only to the higher ranks. This too seems to have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Here we can also see how it was thought natural to take the most substantial foods first, leaving the richer and sweeter courses for later, much as we do today. We do not, however, include small game birds as part of `dessert' as these menus do. Presented here in early English, this invaluable collection gives great insight into the medieval kitchen and household, and is the perfect guide to modern recreations of medieval meals and feasts.
