Dr Earl Mindells Unsafe at Any Meal or Andrea Robinsons 2007 Wine Buying Guide for Everyone

Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal: How to Avoid Hidden Toxins in Your Food

Author: Earl Mindell

The ultimate health-defense guide for eating wisely and safely

Food manufacturers rely increasingly on the use of chemicals to produce larger crops and livestock and to extend the shelf lives of products. Foods once considered safe are being tagged as potential health hazards on a regular basis. Contaminated beef, orange juice carrying salmonella--the list continues to grow. The nearly 3,000 additives being concealed in food products can cause everything from asthma and headaches to heart problems, miscarriages, cancer, and more. Dr. Earl Mindell's Unsafe at Any Meal, a bestseller in its previous edition, is the consumer's best weapon against the hidden hazards in food, drink, herbs, and medicines.

Dr. Earl Mindell, one of America's leading nutrition experts, exposes the food industry's chemical cover-ups and provides crucial information on what to look out for when shopping, cooking, and taking medications. This thoroughly revised, updated edition includes coverage of genetically modified foods as well as foods designed to provide specific health benefits.

Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D., has written extensively on health. A popular lecturer, he is an authority on nutrients, supplements, and natural health.

Hester Mundis is the author or coauthor of 26 books. She is a four-time Emmy nominee for outstanding achievement in writing.

Climbing the Mango Trees: A Memoir of a Childhood in India

Author: Madhur Jaffrey

Today’s most highly regarded writer on Indian food gives us an enchanting memoir of her childhood in Delhi in an age and a society that has since disappeared.

Madhur (meaning “sweet as honey”) Jaffrey grew up in a large family compound where her grandfather often presided over dinners at which forty or more members of his extended family would savor together the wonderfully flavorful dishes that were forever imprinted on Madhur’s palate.

Climbing mango trees in the orchard, armed with a mixture of salt, pepper, ground chilies, and roasted cumin; picnicking in the Himalayan foothills on meatballs stuffed with raisins and mint and tucked into freshly fried pooris; sampling the heady flavors in the lunch boxes of Muslim friends; sneaking tastes of exotic street fare—these are the food memories Madhur Jaffrey draws on as a way of telling her story. Independent, sensitive, and ever curious, as a young girl she loved uncovering her family’s many-layered history, and she was deeply affected by their personal trials and by the devastating consequences of Partition, which ripped their world apart.

Climbing the Mango Trees is both an enormously appealing account of an unusual childhood and a testament to the power of food to evoke memory. And, at the end, this treasure of a book contains a secret ingredient—more than thirty family recipes recovered from Madhur’s childhood, which she now shares with us.

The New York Times - Jan and Michael Stern

For those who now know her as a culinary authority, it's funny to learn that before leaving India she failed the cooking exam at school, where her formal kitchen education had concentrated on what she calls "British invalid foods from circa 1930." She finally did learn how to cook via letters from her mother, but the irresistible savor of this memoir proves that taste precedes technique.

Publishers Weekly

The celebrated actress and author of several books on Indian cooking turns her attention to her own childhood in Delhi and Kampur. Born in 1933 as one of six children of a prosperous businessman, Jaffrey grew up as part of a huge "joint family" of aunts, uncles and cousins-often 40 at dinner-under the benign but strict thumb of Babaji, her grandfather and imperious family patriarch. It was a privileged and cosmopolitan family, influenced by Hindu, Muslim and British traditions, and though these were not easy years in India, a British ally in WWII and soon to go though the agony of partition (the separation and formation of Muslim Pakistan), Jaffrey's graceful prose and sure powers of description paint a vivid landscape of an almost enchanted childhood. Her family and friends, the bittersweet sorrows of puberty, the sensual sounds and smells of the monsoon rain, all are remembered with love and care, but nowhere is her writing more evocative than when she details the food of her childhood, which she does often and at length. Upon finishing this splendid memoir, the reader will delight in the 30 "family-style" recipes included as lagniappe at the end. Photos. (Oct. 11) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

KLIATT

Jaffrey was born in India in the 1930s, and thus is the age of grandparents of today's adolescents. She has been praised for her books about Indian cooking, winning coveted awards. Her face is familiar because of her career as an actor in films. Climbing the Mango Trees tells of exotic family life in India, with the food prepared and eaten a central fact of that life. It's unusual that a memoir focuses so intently on food--the tastes of a family. At the end of the narrative are 50 pages of family recipes. Any young person who has grown up in an Indian family would have an immediate connection with Jaffrey's memoir because of the food, and perhaps it would help intergenerational understanding. Jaffrey grew up in a large, middle-class family, for many years sharing a home in Delhi with grandparents and uncles and aunts and cousins. In fact, the cousins did climb up onto the branches of the mango trees in the yard to eat the fruit, green or ripe. This was the time of colonial rule by the British, of course, and Madhur and her sisters attended private English-language schools, starting school not understanding a word of English. Especially of interest to Indian American readers, and to all who love Indian cuisine. Age Range: Ages 15 to adult. REVIEWER: Claire Rosser (Vol. 42, No. 1)

Library Journal

Readers will be surprised to learn in this culinary memoir that Jaffrey (An Invitation to Indian Cooking), one of the best-known writers on Indian cuisine, actually failed home economics. Although she later learned to prepare the traditional Indian food of her childhood, her early culinary education was primarily concerned with outdated recipes from British colonial days. What is not surprising is that Jaffrey, a descendant of a long line of record-keeping Kayastha Hindus, is a gifted and generous writer. She shares treasured recollections of how her close-knit family lived in Delhi, conveying the safety and warmth of the presence of many siblings and cousins, the love of food and learning, and the unease and disturbance of the partition of India and Pakistan. Thirty-seven photographs of the author and her family are scattered throughout. There are more than 30 family recipes, including Phulkas (a kind of Indian flatbread), Mung Bean Fritters, and Ground Lamb Samosas, all written in Jaffrey's easy style. Highly recommended for all public libraries. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 6/1/06.]-Rosemarie Lewis, Broward Cty. P.L., Ft. Lauderdale, FL Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews

A beloved food writer recalls her youth through the lens of cuisine. Jaffrey (Market Days, 1995, etc.) grew up in India during the 1930s and '40s, the fifth child of two doting, well-heeled parents. Her family was Hindu, but embraced certain touches of Muslim culture: The women wore both the loose culottes favored by Muslims and long, traditional Hindu skirts; at school, Jaffrey studied alongside both Muslim and Hindu children. Her story has no clear narrative arc and no tension that requires resolution, but the meandering is pleasant. Almost every vignette includes a description of food. When she was born, her grandmother spelled out the word Om in honey on her tongue, and Jaffrey's first name translates to "Sweet as Honey." Summer afternoon thirsts were slaked with fresh lemonade or a mixture of fruit syrup and water. Monsoon season brought its own sweet treats of chilled mango juice and "pretzel-shaped jabelis" dipped in milk. A long bout of chicken pox was made bearable by her grandmother's chutney. Even Partition had culinary consequences: Hindus who headed into India from what became West Pakistan introduced Delhi to Punjabi food, including the terrific paneer dishes and tasty tandoori specialties that are now staples of Indian restaurants. Punjabis also loved dairy products; they made the richest yogurt, and the creamiest lassi, a cool yogurt beverage. As an adult, Jaffrey went to college and then moved to England to study drama. Not until she landed in London did she really begin to appreciate her mother's cooking. She wrote home, begging for instruction on preparing the delicacies of her youth, and soon airmail letters thick with recipes began to arrive. Fifty pages of thoserecipes round out the text. Readers will lap up this mouthwatering memoir and hungrily await a sequel. First printing of 40,000

Author: Louise Mae Hoffmann

Goulash and Picking Pickles Read about life in the 1950's through Louise's eyes. Learn about siblings, four of them; Cousins, over 40 of them, and ice skating on the natural pond in her back yard.

And how did Senator Kennedy happen to visit Washington High School in New London, and thus change a young student's perception of politics? What's it like being the teacher's kid? Louise had her father as her teacher for all eight grades in a one-room school. Was more, or less, expected of her? And how does a teacher's kid earn money in the country? Picking pickles, strawberries, raspberries and in the winter selling roses. Those roses were waxed and made by her mother. Is country living more charming or boring than city life? Louise enjoyed walks in the woods and bicycle rides on country roads, but really longed to see big city lights. Having a chance to spend a summer in Chicago Louise was totally flabbergasted to find out that the family whose children she was babysitting were vacationing in rural Wisconsin! She couldn't imagine what they would find exciting about rural life.

Sky Juice and Flying Fish: Tastes Of A Continent

Author: Jessica B Harris

Savor the food, flavor, rhythm, and romance of the Caribbean.

A truly authentic guide to down-home traditional Caribbean cooking, the kind you'd find at roadside stands, Sky Juice and Flying Fish captures the feel of the Islands, bringing the blue-green sea, the tropical breeze, and the exotic scents of the Caribbean into the American kitchen.

A culinary history of each of the Islands provides the perfect introduction to the 150 mouth-watering recipes for appetizers and soups, entrees, side dishes, and desserts, all featuring the distinctly exotic seasonings—ginger, garlic, chili, coconut, curries, and rum—of the Caribbean.

Begin your meal with plantain chips and a rum-spiked 'ti-punch. Go on to Bajan Fried Chicken from Barbados, complemented by a banana-ginger chutney and served with Jamaican Rice and Peas. Finish up with a sumptuous coconut pudding.

A glossary lists ingredients from achiote (small reddish berries) to z'yeux noirs (black-eyed peas), which can be found in grocery stores, Caribbean markets, or through the mail-order source list provided in the appendix.

Publishers Weekly

Harris ( Hot Stuff: A Cookbook in Praise of the Piquant ) offers an enthusiastic and enticing introduction to the lively array of cuisines found in the Caribbean islands. Combining research with observations from her own experiences, she explores the ``culinary quirks'' of different islands (turtle steak can be sampled in the Cayman Islands, and while peas and rice are ``laughingly referred to as the Jamaican coat of arms,'' curried goat is a local specialty) and supplies a useful glossary of ingredients and utensils. Dishes range from appetizers to desserts, and one can taste bacalaitos (codfish fritters) from Puerto Rico, fricasseed chicken from Saint Kitts or breadfruit stuffed with onion and tomato from Jamaica. Most of the recipes are simple enough to encourage readers to try unfamiliar dishes, although several contain at least one unusual, specialty-store ingredient, such as the Scotch bonnet-type chile in soupe aux pois rouges (kidney bean soup). Harris suggests substitutions for some uncommon items, such as Cascadura (a mudfish found near Trinidad); cooks who can't locate the fish can substitute shrimp to make a flavorful curry. (Feb.)

Library Journal

Harris is the author of Iron Pots and Wooden Spoons ( LJ 5/15/89), a collection of African-inspired New World dishes, and Hot Stuff: A Cookbook in Praise of the Piquant ( LJ 8/85); now she turns to the traditional dishes of the Caribbean islands. Her lively text is well written and informative, and she provides historical background and an excellent glossary as well as an assortment of recipes both simple and sophisticated. Once again, she includes many unusual dishes not found in other books on the topic, such as Dunstan Harris's Island Cooking ( LJ 12/1/88) and John DeMers's Caribbean Cooking ( LJ 3/ 15/89). Highly recommended.

Wacky Cakes and Kooky Cookies or Only in California

Wacky Cakes and Kooky Cookies

Author: Gerhard Jenn

You don't need much in the way of experience or talent to transform a simple cake into a creative masterpiece. According to virtuoso pastry chef Gerhard Jenne, "you just need a sense of humor and a steady hand."

Jenne is the creative force behind Konditor and Cook, London's leading pastry shop. In Wacky Cakes & Kooky Cookies, he virtually transforms cake decorating from a fusty old chore that many bakers have abandoned, into a pursuit that is both fun and a real outlet for creative expression. The results are gorgeous.

For all that, Jenne's approach is suprisingly simple. He provides master recipes for five basic frostings, six cookie doughs, and six cake batters. Armed with these materials and Jenne's meticulously written, clearly illustrated instructions, even novice bakers can stride into the kitchen and confidently take up the whisk.

And what creations! Delectable cookies whose bright, bold designs make them even more tempting, cakes that brim with flavor...and humor. Jenne's specialties include his enigmatic-looking chocolate velvet cake (his assessment: "groovy") and his own version of petit fours ("magic cakes," he calls them) which are best displayed as a confectionery mosaic. Capping the book is his recipe for the Konditor Cone, a delicious conical monument to joy.

Chef Jenne knows that individual expression is the soul of creativity and he encourages each baker to follow his or her own inspiration: "Use your imagination, and have fun!"

Texas Old Time Restaurants and Cafes

Author: Sheryl Smith Rodgers

There are hundreds of restaurants in our state that have been around for more than twenty years. Some boast lots of atmosphere and a few gimmicks, like the Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. Others are more refined and elegant, like the Green Pastures Restaurant in Austin. Many double as a community watering hole, where locals gather to drink coffee and discuss what's happening around town. The Blue Bonnet in Marble Falls fits that bill. Large or small, fancy or plain, these restaurants share three things in common: long histories, established reputations, and loyal customers. Author Sheryl Smith-Rodgers scoured the state to find the best of these old-time restaurants and cafes, and then collected some of their tried-and-true Texas recipes, making this an excellent gift book, recipe source, and weekend travel guide.

Author Biography: Sheryl Smith-Rodgers of Blanco, Texas, is a freelance journalist, writer, and photographer. She has written for Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Highways, and other publications. END.

Geronimo or Bread Machine Basics

Geronimo: Fine Dining in Santa Fe

Author: Cliff Skoglund

In 1990, CLIFF SKOGLUND achieved his lifelong dream of owning and operating a restaurant in a historic building with the opening of Geronimo.
ERIC DiSTEFANO worked in the kitchens of Hotel Hershey, Breaker's Hotel, and Hacienda del Cerezo before joining Geronimo as head chef. Skoglund and DiStefano both reside in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Publishers Weekly

The Geronimo of the title isn't the famous Apache medicine man, but rather Geronimo Lopez, who built an adobe house for his family of 13 in 1756 (or perhaps it's Ger nimo Gonzalez, who bought the place in 1769). Either way, the restored building stands today as one of Santa Fe's most popular restaurants. Owner Skoglund and head chef DiStefano go for broke, throwing simplicity to the wind in this highbrow collection of 125 of Geronimo's most savory delicacies. An early disclaimer can be read as either a call to arms for challenge-seeking gourmets, or a retreat signal for those without a foie gras budget: "We know that some of the techniques we describe may, at first glance, seem a bit daunting... we have occasionally referred to hard-to-find items...." This is no understatement, as exemplified by such entr es as "Quick" Braised Rabbit Saddle with Matzo Scallion Dumplings, and Mesquite-Grilled Peppery Elk Tenderloin with Garlic Confit Potatoes and Exotic Mushroom Sauce. Before attempting either, one might indulge in a Martini Shot, consisting of Vodka Sorbet with pureed cucumber topped off with creme fraiche and "a generous dollop of caviar." The salads chapter offers lighter, though similarly complex, alternatives. As counterbalance, the authors interject interesting, even soothing, passages on the life of the restaurant and the restaurateur way of life. (Aug.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Author: Priti Chitnis Gress

Located in northwestern India, Gujarat is known as the country's "Garden State" and is renowned for its vegetarian specialties.

A chapter on the meat, poultry and fish specialties that are enjoyed in the region is also included.

These hearty, home-style recipes will introduce many to a new dimension in Indian cuisine that is rarely found in Indian restaurants or cookbooks. Most of the recipes are simple and easy to prepare, with ingredients that are readily found in typical supermarkets. A few feature vegetables and ingredients from Gujarat that most Indian grocery stores can supply.

Purba: Feasts from the East: Oriya Cuisine from Eastern India

Author: Laxmi Parida

Not just a recipe book but a comprehensive survey of culinary delights from the eastern Indian state of Orissa, better known for the architectural splendors of its ancient temples in Konarak and Puri.

The author speaks of her own experience in the context of the food she describes- meticulously documented by her as she passes through her grandmother's kitchen to her mother's overseen by the family cook. The little anecdotes that accompany some of the recipes provide an unusual glimpse into the middle-class Indian existence the author experienced while growing up in that vast and fascinating country.

Comparing and contrasting the techniques refined over generations, with that from diverse and distant cultures, augmented with an extensive bibliography, the book should appeal to a wide spectrum of readers --from the faltering beginner to the serious cook. An unusual chapter on the family cook's contribution might make the orthodox in you squirm but nevertheless offers a glimpse into the evolution of "restaurant-food" in urban Orissa.

A scientist by training, the author injects her own scientific-humor into the writing that also makes the book an amusing read.

Untrodden Grapes or Michigan Breweries

Untrodden Grapes

Author: Ralph Steadman

From Chile to California, South Africa to Alsace, Ralph Steadman has seen the best of the world's wine-producing regions. On a search for the unique and original, he meets Aurelio Montes, the Chilean winemaker who planted syrah vines on a rocky, south-facing hill in order to "steal the wild complexity of the mountain's soul." In Spain, he learns of the white chalky soil called albariza that produces the sherry of the Jerez region. In California, the author describes crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, driving up into Marin County, and meeting enthusiastic winemakers whose vineyards sit precariously on the San Andreas fault. As the journey continues on through Burgundy, Champagne, and Sicily, Steadman brings the landscape and its people to life with pictures and prose.

Publishers Weekly

Steadman, illustrator of several of Hunter S. Thompson's gonzo narratives, also has a reputation in the world of wine-which is no contradiction, as he thinks of himself as "a romantic and a lifetime supporter of the maverick tradition in all fields of human activity." In this volume, which follows his well-received Grapes of Ralph, he wanders to notable vineyards in California, Chile, Spain, France, Italy and South Africa for a look at their grapes and wine-making techniques. Steadman chats with the owners, eyes their dogs, tastes their wines and takes notes, which frequently meander into fond digressions on unusual oenophilic practices. Still, it's Steadman's sketches that make the book: vertiginous mountain vineyards; splotchy caricatures of idiosyncratic vintners; lumpy, mustachioed villagers (male and female); even a brief album of wine dogs, "grand cru mutts." Although he's designed many wine labels himself, Steadman's no label snob; indeed, he rails against "the rigid aristocracy of fine appellation" and misses the "good, bad old days" when you could decant a nice Roussillon into your own jug straight from a pump at the wine cooperative. Readers dithering over the right bottle to surprise a wine-loving friend with might do better to shop at the bookstore for a Steadman instead. (Nov.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Author: Brian St Pierr

Many people see the enjoyment of wine as an intimidating and complicated matter, requiring a mastery of arcane rules and rituals. In fact, there's no more to it than putting each wine to the ultimate test: Does it taste good?

Once those are understood, all the rest flows smoothly—what distinguishes the colors and types, how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, and even how much to spend on a bottle. St. Pierre's sensible approach combined with stunning photographs and elegant maps of the world's great wine-growing regions make this the perfect no-nonsense guide or lovely gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy the fruit of the vine.

Taming the Truffle or Cooking New American

Taming the Truffle: The History, Lore, and Science of the Ultimate Mushroom

Author: Ian R Hall

Whether the world's best truffles are found in Piedmont or Perigord inspires impassioned debate, but the effects of dwindling supply and insatiable demand for the elusive, ultimate mushroom are unquestionable: prices through the roof, intrigue and deception, and ever more intensive efforts to cultivate.

The secrets of when, how, and where to collect truffles have benn passed from generation to generation since ancient times, but artificial cultivation remains the holy grail. Here in the most comprehensive practical treatment of the gastronomic treasure to date, the art and science of the high-stakes pursuit come together.

Their enthusiasm and expertise leavened with wry humor, the authors explore the newest techniques; they describe the commercial species in detail along with their host plants, natural habitats, cultivation and mintenance, pests and diseases, and harvesting with pigs, dogs, truffle flies, and even the electronic nose.

Pursuit of the fungus that costs more than gold is not for the faint of heart nor for those in a hurry, as under ideal conditions, truffle production in artificial truffieres can begin after three years but results may not be seen until a decade after planting, and maximum yields not for another decade still. So there is time to read and prepare, and no better source than this one.

New 8-Week Cholesterol Cure: The Ultimate Program for Preventing Heart Disease

Author: Robert E Kowalski

Much has happened in the years since 1987 when The 8-Week Cholesterol Cure changed the way Americans think about coronary heart disease. And while cholesterol is still a risk factor for heart disease, the story is more complex than we once thought. In this completely updated book, Robert Kowalski reveals the latest developments in what we now know about heart disease and tells how to effectively combat all the newly discovered risk factors, from homocysteine to the deadly cholesterol Lp (a). He explains why diet is not enough and when supplements must be used, showing how optimal cholesterol levels can be reached without prescription drugs.

Kowalski, who had bypass surgery of his own in 1984, has effectively beaten heart disease by practicing what he preaches. He requires no prescription drugs, lives an unlimited and rigorous lifestyle, enjoys foods like steak and eggs, and has been given a clean bill of health by his physician. Included as well are new cholesterol testing methods; new heart-healthy products; special considerations for women, children, and the elderly; and new recipes.

Library Journal

Since this book first appeared in 1987, scientists have learned much more about cholesterol and its components, associated risk factors, supplements such as B vitamins and niacin, exercise, diet, and stress reduction, and longtime medical journalist Kowalski covers the evolving scientific information in depth. However, he also espouses an initially low-carb, low-calorie diet to induce ketosis and burn fat stores. That's fine for the short term in healthy individuals. But as with any significant change in diet, this one should not be undertaken without a physician's review since it may alter blood sugar levels in diabetics (and many folks have diabetes without realizing it) or require a change in medication levels.

Building Houses out of Chicken Legs: Black Women, Food, and Power

Author: Psyche A Williams Forson

Williams-Forson examines the complexity of black women's legacies with food as a form of cultural work. While acknowledging the negative interpretations of black culture associated with chicken imagery, Williams-Forson focuses her analysis on the ways black women have forged their own self-definitions and relationships to "the gospel bird."

From personal interviews to the comedy of Chris Rock, from commercial advertisements to the art of Kara Walker, and from cookbooks to literature, Williams-Forson considers how black women defy conventional representations of blackness in relationship to these foods and exercise influence through food preparation and distribution.

Publishers Weekly

The humble chicken has possessed complicated associations for African-Americans from earliest slavery times, especially for women, who traditionally had to cook the bird for white kitchens. Moreover, hawking chicken by "waiter carriers" became a key source of income for poor disenfranchised blacks, while stealing chickens reflected a kinship with African-American "trickster heroism," according to Williams-Forson, an American studies professor at the University of Maryland. In her valuable though dense and scholarly study, Williams-Forson explores how the power of food images advanced the rhetoric of black stereotypes in lore and literature, for example, as portrayed in "coon" songs like Paul Laurence Dunbar's popular "Who Dat Say Chicken in Dis Crowd" and characterizations of mammies in advertisements in upscale magazines. With the Great Migration, blacks took their cultural practices with them, literally, in shoe boxes containing fried chicken, and their route became known as the "chicken bone express." The author discusses chicken as "the gospel bird" in African-American churches (the strength of one's cooking skills elevated one's status with the preacher), and how eating chicken (or eschewing it) provides a way for blacks to "signify" class and status. Following her hard-going study is a staggeringly thorough bibliography. (June) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

The Art of the Tart: Savory and Sweet

Author: Tamasin Day Lewis

Tarts are the perfect self-contained treat, a delectable indulgence. In this special collection, Tamasin Day-Lewis provides classic recipes and new twists for an assortment of savory and sweet tarts. She explores the rituals of their preparation, from rolling to primping and patching to whisking, all of which make tarts the most satisfying of foods — to make and to eat.

The home chef is taught to prepare a variety of crusts from easy-to-follow directions. The most difficult step is trying to figure out which of the mouth-watering fillings to use. Included is everything from Sweet Corn and Spring Onion Tart to Rhubard Meringue Pie.

Beautifully designed, featuring more than fifty full-color photographs, and sumptuously filled, The Art of the Tart is sure to be the perfect addition to any cookbook collection.

Publishers Weekly

Tarts, when done well, are gorgeous creations--their fillings displayed in buttery crust like jewels shown on velvet. Day-Lewis (The English Woman's Kitchen; West of Ireland Summers: A Cookbook) does not disappoint; in addition to delectable recipes and luxurious photos, her prose itself is exquisite. Even the most jaded palate might be tempted with her description of the much-maligned Quiche Lorraine "with a buttery pastry and an unctuously creamy, bacony, barely wobbling interior." These tarts are rich (lots of butter, cream and eggs), simple and wholesome, prepared in straightforward ways with uncomplicated steps. As Day-Lewis explains, they are not "state-of-the-art, designer-dream, fashionable" fare (even if she tells us that Julia Roberts loves the Treacle Tart), but rather "foods to console and please on the highest order." The favorite tarts of well-known chefs appear regularly throughout the pages, tweaked and appropriately credited. Classics such as Onion Tart, Plain Apple Tart and that English favorite, Bakewell Tart, coexist with more flamboyant fare, such as Fennel, Taleggio and Cardamom Tart, Mjuk Mandeltarta (soft almond tart) and a "beauteous, sluttish, fall of the Roman Empire" Roast Fig and Honey Tart with Cointreau. With quiet sophistication, Day-Lewis presents a beautiful and useful book to savor on many levels. (Mar. 9) Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

Library Journal

Day-Lewis (yes, she's Daniel's sister) is a well-known British food writer whose work has appeared here in Food & Wine and other magazines. She has a wonderful, somewhat breezy style, and the recipes in her new book are mouthwatering: Smoked Bacon and Garlic Tart, Fennel, Taleggio, and Cardamom Tart, Roast Fig Tart with Cointreau (which she describes as "a beauteous and sluttish, Fall of the Roman Empire kind of dessert"). In addition to her own recipes, there is a section called "Other People's Tarts," recipes from chefs, writers, and good home cooks. The text is lavishly illustrated with color photographs, but the book is a comfortable size for actually using in the kitchen (rather than leaving on the coffee table). Highly recommended.

Jancis Robinsons Wine Course or Savor the Moment

Jancis Robinson's Wine Course: A Guide to the World of Wine, 2nd Edition

Author: Jancis Robinson

One of the world's most respected wine writers provides an introduction to the enjoyment of wine and an overview of the wines of the world in this companion volume to the acclaimed television series.

The huge array of wines available today can be exceedingly confusing to the novice or even experienced buyer. Anyone who enters a wine store is likely to be confronted by rows and rows of racks filled with endless choices. Where do you begin when all you want is a reasonable priced quality wine to serve with dinner?

Jancis Robinson can make anyone an expert, or at least an informed buyer, in short order. In this comprehensive guide to the wine producing countries of the world, she captures the flavor of each region's wines and gives her personal recommendations for the best names to look for. She also describes the distinctive characteristics of a broad range of grape varieties and looks at both the traditional and innovative methods used in winemaking. An up-to-date vintage guide makes selection even easier.

Designed to ensure that you get the most out of every glass, the Wine Course explains how to taste and store wine, suggests what to serve at home, and reveals how to order the best-value bottles in a restaurant. Full of infectious enthusiasm and lost of personal tips, this book will soon have you reaching for the corkscrew.

Other Details: 300 full-color illustrations 320 pages 8 x 8" Published 1996

there, and explaining not just how things are but giving the real explanation (not necessarily the same as the public relations pitch) of why they are that way.

As a subject for study, wine happens to come with an amazing amount of baggage, which we can choose to revel in or ignore. Its history stretches back past the Bronze Age, to at least 5500 years ago. Its geography encompasses all of the world's temperate zones (and quite a few of the tropical ones too). The wine business is conducted in some of the most beautiful corners of the world, and its personalities are some of the most colourful in any field of commercial activity. Wine is rich in religious symbolism, and has the unusual attribute of being able to last and evolve for centuries, providing a direct, tastable link with past generations. Yet today, wine production is a scientifically sophisticated business that is unusually open about what in many other businesses would be its secrets.

This book, which has been a seriously exciting project for me, aims to give you an insider's view of the world of wine. As I became involved in planning and then began writing, I realized not just how rapidly the world of wine has changed in the last decade or so, but how much less ignorant (I would certainly not say more knowledgeable) I am now—partly thanks to spending the last five years editing The Oxford Companion to Wine—and how much more insider information and advice I want to communicate. My hope is that in some small way this book will help its readers to get even more pleasure out of wine.

A Few Insider Tips to Set You on Your Way:

Wine amateurs may say opener . . .

But professional winos say corkscrew

Wine amateurs may say crate (of wine) . . .

But professional winos say case (= 12 bottles)

Wine amateurs may say drink (active verb)

But professional winos say taste

Wine amateurs may say champagne (for all fizzy wine) . . .

But professional winos say sparkling wine (for all fizzy wine except that made in the Champagne region in north east France)

Wine amateurs may think sediment in a bottle is a bad sign . . .

But professional winos know it's a sign of a producer who worships quality above cosmetics

Wine amateurs may think claret is any old red . . .

But professional winos know claret is a word used in Britain exclusively for red bordeaux

Wine amateurs may think Zinfandel is white . . .

But professional winos know Zinfandel's a red grape that no one wanted so someone cleverly began to make a very commercial off dry white out of it in California in the 1980s

Publishers Weekly

As elegant and meticulously laid out as a posh wine shop, this companion to the BBC series of the same title by Financial Times wine columnist Robinson brims with the kind of facts, advice and trivia that will likely enthrall aspiring oenophiles but may overwhelm dilettantes. Robinson, a congenial raconteur, divides this course into four long chapters, each providing a deep immersion into a different facet of the wine worldand each punctuated by splashy photographs and charts. "Getting the Most Out of Wine" demonstrates how to open, serve and order the stuff; "How Wine is Made" reveals how the grapes are harvested, fermented and bottled; the last chapters catalogue the hundreds of varieties of wine and the world's vineyards, from those in France and Italy to less prominent regions in Argentina, South Africa and New Zealand. The book is bursting with short glossaries and sidebars, addressing the esoteric (wine-scoring systems) and the pragmatic (pronunciation; varieties of corkscrews). A short vintage guide and an index are included, but no comprehensive glossary. Readers with income and patience enough for the trial and error that a wine education requires will find that this manual is best read over time, in conjunction with regular samplings of the wines showcased. The novice looking for a simple handbook to help navigate a wine retailer or a restaurant list may be better served by the Windows on the World Wine Course (see Notes, below). (Oct.)

In the Devil's Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food

Author: Stewart Lee Allen

Deliciously organized by the Seven Deadly Sins, here is a scintillating history of forbidden foods through the ages—and how these mouth-watering taboos have defined cultures around the world.

From the lusciously tempting fruit in the Garden of Eden to the divine foie gras, Stewart Lee Allen engagingly illustrates that when a pleasure as primal as eating is criminalized, there is often an astonishing tale to tell. Among the foods thought to encourage Lust, the love apple (now known as the tomato) was thought to possess demonic spirits until the nineteenth century. The Gluttony “course” invites the reader to an ancient Roman dinner party where nearly every dish served—from poppy-crusted rodents to “Trojan Pork”—was considered a crime against the state. While the vice known as Sloth introduces the sad story of “The Lazy Root” (the potato), whose popularity in Ireland led British moralists to claim that the Great Famine was God’s way of punishing the Irish for eating a food that bred degeneracy and idleness.

Filled with incredible food history and the author’s travels to many of these exotic locales, In the Devil’s Garden also features recipes like the matzo-ball stews outlawed by the Spanish Inquisition and the forbidden “chocolate champagnes” of the Aztecs. This is truly a delectable book that will be consumed by food lovers, culinary historians, amateur anthropologists, and armchair travelers alike. Bon appétit!

KLIATT

Any book with chapters like "The Joy of Fat" and "The Virgin's Nipple" is attention getting. Tie these subjects in with the history of food and there is even more interest. Stewart Lee Allen, previously known for his unorthodox history of coffee, The Devil's Cup, now takes a sardonic look at other commonly ingested items such as potatoes (in the 19th century common knowledge for some held that they made the Irish lazy and that's why they starved) and corn (snubbed by the upper class Europeans and given to the poor). Each chapter is a fact-filled two to four pages, bringing to light those fables and fallacies of our ancestors in an entertaining manner. Since we are what we eat, what we eat often plays a key role in history. For example, "The abrupt disappearance of the Etruscans around the fourth century BC has long baffled some historians, but some now think that when their priests discovered their culture's demise in a sheep's liver, the race simply merged with the Romans, rather than fight the inevitable." Much of the book emphasizes the "sinful nature" of certain foods (the tomato was known early on as the "love apple," for example). Although serious once, these anecdotes of history now tend to mainly amuse. This is a clever book that trivia experts will love and students assigned the "food history" paper will find useful.

Author: Arno Schmidt

For many, food is seen as nourishment for the body and soul. This cookbook illuminates the food practices of followers of the world's major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Shintoism. The narrative and nearly 300 recipes give a flavor of what is often eaten for sacred occasions and why. This volume will be useful for a range of cooks and purposes. It is targeted to middle school age to adults. Those looking for more and different recipes for religion class assignments and International Week Food Festival or even for browsing will be richly rewarded with a one-stop resource.

Each chapter covers a religion or two with similar food practices. A brief overview of the religion is followed by a discussion of any dietary restrictions. Then the recipes are organized by holiday or special occasion, featuring from appetizers to desserts. Recipes are culled from a variety of countries and cultures where the religion is practiced. The recipes are contextualized and have clear instructions for the novice cook. A final section in some chapters allows readers to recreate what the religion's founder or major figures might have eaten during their lifetime. A glossary defines what might be unfamiliar cooking terms and food and kitchen items. An introduction, list of recipes, conversion measurements, bibliography, index, and illustrations round out the cookbook.

World in My Kitchen or Healthy Eating for Life to Prevent and Treat Cancer

World in My Kitchen: The Adventures of a (Mostly) French Woman in America

Author: Collette Rossant

"We are on our way to Le Havre. The train is going so fast that the landscape is all but a blur. From time to time, I can see a farm in the mist surrounded by a sea of green fields. I am excited but also scared. It is 1955, and we are on our way to New York."

So begins the marvelous journey of Colette Rossant, just married to an American architect and about to leave France for a new life in the heart of New York City. At first, Colette finds Americans' manners to be as mystifying as their cuisine, but before long, she discovers the myriad charms of her adopted country. Between taking on an astoundingly diverse series of jobs, raising four children, and renovating a Soho town house, Colette develops her own flair for food—and for superb food writing. In this spirited and deliciously entertaining memoir, Colette shares the unforgettable stories of her forty tumultuous years at the heart of American and international cuisine.

The children's cooking school she starts for her daughter's friends turns into a starring role on a PBS television series. As New York magazine's "Underground Gourmet," she hails the city's staggering array of outstanding ethnic cuisine. Either with her husband and children, or on her own, she travels to Africa, China, Japan, and South America, exploring cuisine and culture around the globe. She rides camels through the Australian outback, barters lipstick for fresh vegetables in Tanzania, and is almost arrested as a spy by the Chinese secret police—just because she is trying to eat like a local.

Charming, indomitable, endlessly curious and adventurous, Colette Rossant inspires us to savor every meal—and every day. With awonderful array of mouth-watering recipes, The World in My Kitchen is an irresistible celebration of family, food, and life.

Publishers Weekly

The third of Rossant's memoirs with recipes (after Apricots on the Nile; Return to Paris) takes the reader briskly from her 1955 marriage to an American architect right through to the present. It is less personal than her earlier books-after recounting initial difficulties with her new in-laws, she more or less lets her family (four children) fend for itself in these pages-perhaps because she has had a genuinely adventurous life, with a lot to tell, both about her New York neighborhood and the larger world. Her first boss was a criminal, but she soon found a new job as a French teacher, while she learned how to cook with American ingredients. These two callings, teacher and cook, led her through many jobs, a television show, friendships with celebrity "foodies," several cookbooks and eventually around the world collecting recipes and experiences in not only the usual destinations but also such exotic spots as Xi-an, a Chinese Muslim city. At times clich d, Rossant's writing is vivid and opinionated, which makes her good company, and the recipes that follow each chapter are as eclectic as one would wish from a well-traveled writer. Illustrations. (Sept.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

This is the third volume of Rossant's memoirs, after Memories of a Lost Egypt and Return to Paris. All three include recipes sprinkled throughout the text. A prolific author of cookbooks, Rossant recounts her arrival in New York as a new bride and her acclimation to the New York way of life. It's a great read about the city, full of the social history of the neighborhoods in which Rossant lived from the perspective of a newly arrived immigrant. Entertaining and warmly recounted, her stories give us insight into the character of a French woman and budding chef. Recipes are easy to follow and for the most part useful, including Watercress Soup, Apple Mousse, Cheese Souffl , Mushroom Consomm , and the obligatory Cr pe. Libraries owning Rossant's other works will want to purchase this. A good addition for popular cooking and biography collections in most public libraries. Elizabeth Rogers, CEF Lib. Syst., Plattsburgh, NY Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Kirkus Reviews

Rossant (Return to Paris, 2003, etc.) concludes her trilogy of memoirs with this mouthwatering reminiscence of marriage and her stellar epicurean career. In 1955, the author and her husband left France for New York. For Rossant, moving to America meant, foremost, the discovery of new food, starting with an ice-cream sundae. She'd read about this "mountain of ice cream" in French reporters' accounts of America, but had never tasted one. Baked potatoes and bagels quickly became favorites as well. She missed lunching on a baguette stuffed with ham, but made do with cream cheese on walnut bread from Chock Full 'o Nuts. Broccoli took some getting used to: "It looked like a small tree, and tasted somewhat like cabbage . . . too bland." Indeed, American vegetables were generally a problem. String beans seemed a wholly different species than the haricots verts Rossant had enjoyed in France. Iceberg lettuce was . . . well, barely lettuce. She also found American packaged food tricky; making her first attempt with a cake mix, she baked the icing and used the cake powder as glaze. While navigating American cuisine, Rossant had children and a series of jobs, including writing for a French-language newsDelectable: Bon appetit!
