Stirring Prose: Cooking with Texas Authors

Author: Deborah Douglas

Initially conceived as a Who's Who of Texas authors, Stirring Prose was born of Deborah Douglas's brilliant deduction that asking authors to write about their favorite recipes freed them from "the big toe-digging constraints of having to talk directly about themselves". Thirty-nine Texas writers offered up a favorite concoction, and their reflections about the recipe's genesis and meaning give revealing glimpses of their personalities and writing styles.

Not a traditional cookbook in the Betty Crocker sense, Stirring Prose is distinctively personal. Billy Porterfield reveals his fantasies about a voluptuous restaurant owner and a dream-enhanced recipe for "game hen fricassee with a French New Guinea twist". Sunny Nash gives an enticing snapshot of her grandmother. Bigmama, and divulges the secret to beautiful skin with Bigmama's Mysterious Rose Water Splash. And John Erickson shares his Bachelor Cowboy's Delight, the meal he eats over and over when his wife and children are out of town, and which consists of steak, lettuce salad, and green peas.

Some of these recipes, such as Dr. (Larry L.) King's Asian Flu Hot Liquid Life-Saver, almost beg for a "do not try this at home" disclaimer. Others, such as Cindy Bonner's Bohemian Kolaches and Clay Reynolds's Tex-Mex Breakfast, will send readers straight to the kitchen for some serious egg breaking.

Each recipe is accompanied by a photograph, a publication list. and an engaging, personalized introduction by Douglas, herself a fine writer.

Although not a comprehensive collection of Texas writers (some writers are not yet authors, and some perhaps demurred for culinary or pecuniary reasons), Stirring Prose: Cooking with Texas Authors is adelicious introduction to Texas writers and a virtual dinner party to be enjoyed vicariously.

Londoners Larder or Conserve Water Drink Wine

Londoners' Larder: English Cuisine from Chaucer to the Present

Author: Annette Hop

In a vivid panorama, Londoner's Larder presents the food of a great city. Annette Hope has used biography, literature, and social history to explore the city of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pepys, Johnson, Dickens, Wilde, and Virginia Woolf, and to show in lively detail what these writers and their contemporaries might have eaten, where the food came from, and how it was cooked. She looks at problems of supply, distribution, nutrition, cooking, and health and hygiene as the city expanded and changed character, and in a final chapter chronicles the effect of social, economic, and ethnic shifts since the end of the Second World War. At the end of each chapter are recipes from the period, written in modern, usable form. From the take-away pasties baked by the Cook in The Canterbury Pilgrims to dinner at the Cafe Royal, this book charts the gastronomic life of London in scholarly and entertaining detail.

Tea Leaves or Feenies

Tea Leaves

Francis H. Leggett & Co. were Importing and Manufacturing Grocers, and their name can still be found somewhere in the food distribution business. Once, though, they were suppliers of tea, and very proud of that.

This volume contains a wealth of information on tea -- its origins, cultivation, properties, and nature. Bon appétit. . . !

Feenie's: Brunch - Lunch - Dinner

Author: Rob Feeni

As executive chef of Vancouver's renowned Lumiиre, Rob Feenie has been celebrated for his ability to combine French sophistication, Asian simplicity, and the finest North American ingredients. At Feenie's, his new bistro, the fare is simpler but still sublime, prepared to the same high standards and with winning flavor and texture combinations that elevate casual dishes to a delicious new level. Collected here are more than 80 easy-to-prepare bistro favorites, including decadent brunch treats such as Brioche French Toast with Candied Pecans, Whiskey Maple Syrup, and Sour Cream Mousse; lunch and dinner favorites like Crab and Corn Chowder and Grilled Ahi Tuna Sandwich with Shiso Guacamole; and Feenie's sly twists on casual classics, including his own deluxe version of the humble hotdog, Feenie's Weenies. Other chapters cover starters, salads, side dishes, and desserts. Forty luscious color photographs add additional inspiration, and chef's tips and commentaries ensure that each recipe works perfectly.

Publishers Weekly

Dinner is a lighthearted but often painstaking endeavor in this cookbook from the owner of Lumi re Restaurant and Feenie's Bistro in Vancouver, Canada. With his own show on Food Network Canada, a recent Iron Chef title and two previous cookbooks (Lumere; Lumiere Light), Feenie has won over fans for his creative mix of French fundamentals, Asian techniques and greenmarket ingredients. While this cookbook is based on homier bistro cooking, Feenie has infused the recipes with enough surprise elements to keep matters interesting. There's a Grilled Quail and Braised Endive Salad, Steak and Blue Cheese Pie and the choucroute-topped Feenie Weenie, a tongue-in-cheek reference to his schoolyard nickname. He doesn't believe in shortcuts, and some cooks may find his offbeat aesthetic difficult to pull off at home: Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Rosti Potato requires rendered duck fat, and other dishes call for specialty ingredients like shiso, Japanese mayonnaise and yuzu, which might be difficult to find outside of major cities. Still, Feenie's sophisticated approach to cooking makes it an edifying read, and the food itself, captured in beautiful color photos, is something to behold.

Culinary Landmarks: A Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825-1949

Author: Elizabeth Driver

Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers' bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women's groups.

The entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publication, revealing cooking and dining customs in each part of the country over 125 years. Full bibliographical descriptions of first and subsequent editions are augmented by author biographies and corporate histories of the food producers and kitchen-equipment manufacturers, who often published the books. Driver's excellent general introduction sets out the evolution of the cookbook genre in Canada, while brief introductions for each province identify regional differences in developments and trends. Four indexes and a 'Chronology of Canadian Cookbook History' provide other points of access to the wealth of material in this impressive reference book.

A Taste of Acadie or Fish

A Taste of Acadie

Author: Marielle Cormier Boudreau

For A Taste of Acadie, Melvin Gallant and Marielle Cormier-Boudreau travelled all over Acadia, from the Gaspé Peninsula to Cape Breton, from the tip of Prince Edward Island to the Magdalen Islands, and around northern New Brunswick and southern Nova Scotia. They gathered the culinary secrets of traditional Acadian cooks while there was still time, and then they adapted more than 150 recipes for today's kitchens. First published in 1991, A Taste of Acadie, the popular English translation of the best-selling Cuisine traditionalle en Acadie, is available once again. The indigenous cuisine of Acadia is a distant relative of French home cooking, born of necessity and created from what was naturally available. Roast porcupine or seal-fat cookies may not be to every modern diner's taste, but the few recipes of this nature in A Taste of Acadie hint at the ingenuity of women who fed their families with what the land provided. Most of the recipes, however, use ingredients beloved of today's cooks. Here you'll find fricot, a wonder of the Acadian imagination, pot en pot, a traditional Sunday dinner sometimes called grosse soupe, and dozens of meat pies. For those with a sweet tooth, Gallant and Cormier-Boudreau include recipes that use maple syrup and fresh wild berries. A Taste of Acadie is traditional cooking at its best, suffusing contemporary kitchens with country aromas and down-home flavours. Decorated with evocative woodcuts by Michiel Oudemans, it is a pleasure to look at and a charming addition in its own right to contemporary country-style kitchens.

Hamburgers and Fries

Author: John T Edg

Acclaimed food writer and cultural historian John T. Edge continues his sumptuous feast of a series on iconic American foods-with recipes included.

With Fried Chicken and Apple Pie, John T. Edge launched a series of short books that celebrate American culture through the lore of our favorite foods. Now, with Hamburgers & Fries, Edge continues his quest to discover the very essence of America through the dishes we love and cherish.

Across the nation, from backyard barbecues to Big Macs, Edge follows the evolution of the burger from frugal repast to deluxe treat, but always with a celebration of American brawn and freedom. He revisits Depression-era days, when most hamburgers were extended with bread crumbs, and goes on to trace the arc of the American experience that leads us to the haute burgers of today, with foie gras at their centers and selling for $50 apiece. Best of all, the acclaimed food writer gives us fifteen recipes for the best burger we've ever sunk our teeth into.

Author Biography: John T. Edge's work has appeared regularly in Gourmet and Saveur. He is currently director of the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi. His cookbook, A Gracious Plenty, was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award, and he was a finalist for the 2004 M. F. K. Fisher Distinguished Writing Award from the James Beard Foundation. Currently, he is at work on the fourth volume in this series: Donuts: An American Story.

The New York Times - Henry Alford

To be in the company of a mind this curious is a pleasure … When I say that I wished this very short book had been longer, I speak as a satisfied customer anxiously eyeing seconds. As any chowhound will tell you, more is more.

Library Journal

America is in the midst of a burger renaissance, so food writer Edge would have us believe. Whether it is owing to a return to comfort food, patriotism for a food that is uniquely American, or purely a backlash to Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation, restaurateurs in the past few years have re-created the burger as we know it by topping the humble beef patty with short ribs, truffles, and even foie gras. In the third entry of a series on iconic American foods (see also Fried Chicken and Apple Pie), Edge travels the country not to explore the gourmet burgers of the new millennium, but to seek out the burger joints that reflect local tastes and the evolution of the beef. From Mississippi to Hawaii, he samples pimento burgers, "slug burgers," and Jucy Lucys, each of which has its own loyal following. While Americans have pursued the "textbook marriage of beef and bun" for 100 years, Edge believes the French fry is only now coming into its own. Fifteen recipes are included in this highly recommended and humorous book recommended for public libraries.-Pauline Baughman, Multnomah Cty.

Star Grazing in Hollywood or Diet Life Expectancy and Chronic Disease

Star Grazing in Hollywood: Reminiscence of a Beverly Hills Restaurateur

Author: Milton M Weiss

By 1930, Beverly Hills was more than a one-horse town; after all, there was Tom Mix's horse, Hoot Gibson's, Hopalong's (Bill Boyd), Leo Carillo's and a good number of others were seen on the bridal paths of Rodeo Drive and Sunset Boulevard.

Also in 1930, a restaurant serving Mitell-European cuisine opened in a wood-frame house on now-famous Rodeo Drive. Recovering from the "Crash of '29" was difficult but through the dedication and personality of owner Mama Weiss, the restaurant prospered and became "home away from home" to many colorful members of the motion picture community.

Diet, Life Expectancy, and Chronic Disease: Studies of Seventh-Day Adventists and Other Vegetarians

Author: Gary E Fraser

Research into the role of diet in chronic disease can be difficult to interpret. Measurement errors in different studies often produce conflicting answers to the same questions. Seventh-day Adventists and other groups with many vegetarian members are ideal study populations because they have a wide range of dietary habits that adds poer and clarity to research findings. This book analyzes the results of such studies, focusing on heart disease and cancer. These studies support the benefits of a vegetarian diet and in addition provide evidence about the effects of individual foods and food groups on disease risk that is relevant to all who are interested in good health. Fraser places the findings in athe broader context of well-designed nutritional studies of the general population. He discusses the degree of confidence we can have in particular relationships between diet and disease based on the strength of the evidence. While this is a scholarly book, it is written in clear English and contains an extensive glossary so that it should be accessible to a wide audience.

A Bite Off Mama's Plate: Mothers' and Daughters' Connections through Food

Author: Miriam Meyers

Miriam Meyers celebrates the positive role that food plays in the mother-daughter relationship. Despite their increasing freedom to pursue other roles in society, women still retain primary responsibility for food-related tasks in the home. With that responsibility comes considerable work, but it also affords women in families a special opportunity for companionship, communication, learning, and inspiration. To illuminate the ways women use this role to connect with their daughters, Meyers combines original research, encompassing focus groups, interviews, and a national survey, with a personal memoir and a wide range of other sources. She shows, in women's own voices, how food offers, more than just nourishment for the body, something for the mind, heart, and soul.

Red Sage: Contemporary Western Cuisine

Author: Mark Charles Miller

The author of the acclaimed Coyote Cafe now offers a collection of food photos and recipes for stylish Western fare from Washington, D.C.'s popular Red Sage restaurant--showcasing the style that has made him one of the country's favorite chefs. Full color.

Library Journal

Miller's most well known restaurant is the Coyote Caf , in Santa Fe, but several years ago, he opened the flashy Red Sage in Washington, D.C., which he describes as a "Western American restaurant." His new cookbook presents the restaurant's specialties, grouped into such categories as "Main Dishes from the Ranch House" and "Sides from Pueblo Farms and Mission Gardens" (oddly enough, there's no separate appetizer chapter), along with a lengthy history of the restaurant and boxes on "The Cowboy: American Icon" and other topics. Some of the recipes call for hard-to-find ingredients (e.g., antelope chops), and there are no headnotes, but Miller does have some imaginative ideas. For libraries where chefs' books (and Miller's earlier titles in particular) are popular. Osteen is the talented and personable chef of Louis's Restaurant & Bar in Charleston, SC, which, like his earlier restaurant ventures, has gained a national following. Many of his mouthwatering dishes feature Southern ingredients used in unusual ways, as in Barbecued Pork Rillettes, Charleston Chile-Pickled Shrimp, and Preserved Duck with Fried Grits, not to mention Jack Daniels' Chocolate Ice Cream. Although some of the recipes have a number of components, many are quite simple to prepare. Recommended for most collections. [BOMC/Good Cook selection.] Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

The Culture of Food (Making of Europe Series)

Author: Massimo Montanari

This book is about the history of food in Europe and the part it has played in the evolution of the European cultures over two millennia. It has been a driving force in national and imperial ambition, the manner of its production and consumption a means by which the identity and status of regions, classes and individuals have been and still are expressed. In this wide-ranging exploration of its history the author weaves deftly between the classes, regions and nations of Europe, between the habits of late antiquity and the problems of modernity. He examines the interlinked evolutions of consumption, production and taste, to show both what these reveal of the varied cultures and peoples of Europe in the past and what they suggest about the present.

R. James Tobin, Univ. of Wisconsin Lib., Milwaukee - Library Journal

A history of hunger and scarcity as well as consumption, this account of food in Europe from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, with a glance back and forward, emphasizes class and regional differences in dietary habits. A varied diet has always reflected social status, and Montanari (history, Univ. of Bologna) shows what extremes this has taken. He contrasts royal meals of many dishes with single-food diets and shows how burghers responded to hungry paupers and peasants. In addition, Greco-Roman ideals of moderation are contrasted with Germanic and Celtic ideals of the powerful appetite. There is much about meat and bread, beer and wine, which predated rice, maize, potatoes, pasta (originally a luxury food), tea, and coffee. Though one wishes that Montanari had extended his treatment to the 20th century, this remains a fascinating book that will appeal to curious lay readers as well as scholars. Recommended for all academic and larger public libraries.

Booknews

A study of the production systems and consumption models of food, focusing primarily on the era commonly known as the Middle Ages (the author rejects this term as a misleading construct), delving as far back as the third century and forward to the present. Focusing on Europe, Montanari (history, Universities of Catania and Bologna) explores ideas such as famine and abundance, changes in eating habits, consequences of trade, and the connection between food and identity in bourgeois societies.
