Cooking in Provence or Fish

Cooking in Provence: Over 70 Timeless Recipes

Author: Alex MacKay

Four years ago, chef Alex Mackay and photographer Peter Knab realized a dream when they opened Le Baou d’Infer, a cooking school in the heart of the Provençal countryside. In this pictorially stunning cookbook, they present an enticing selection of Provence’s classic dishes. In harmony with the changing seasons, more than 70 recipes capture the tastes and smells of the region—Braised Peppers with Anchovies and Olives; Grilled Mussels with Basil; Roasted Sea Bass with Fennel; Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Herbs; Sautéed Ceps and Chestnuts in Red Wine Sauce; Figs in Blackberry Coulis. This book is born not only from a passion for the flavors of the region but also for its way of life, here beautifully evoked in photos and descriptions of Provence’s local markets, its residents, and its glorious scenery.

Says chef Raymond Blanc, “I watched Alex Mackay become a master during his time with me at Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, and I have always said he is more French than a Frenchman. The recipes in this book show his passion and knowledge while taking you on a tour of all the things I love to eat and experience whenever I’m in Provence.”

Fish

Author: Sophie Grigson

Grilled, fried, roasted, or steamed, fillets or steaks, whole or boned, on or off the shell, sauced lavishly or dazzling in pure simplicity-there is nothing so fine as fish that has been cooked with love and care. Fish is delicious, healthy, and easy to prepare, but there are still many cooks who worry about what to buy and what to do with it. In Fish, these problems are addressed and solved. Sophie Grigson has collected more than 180 marvelous fish recipes-Tuna Teriyaki with Soba Noodles, Maryland Crab Cakes, Provençal Fish Soup, Thai Squid Salad, Yucatan Fish Tortillas-and if anyone can teach you about matters piscine, expert William Black can! Armed with helpful tips on buying, storing, and preparing fish, you will soon share this couple's passion and expertise.

Library Journal

Daughter of the late Jane Grigson, Sophie Grigson is a well-known British food writer in her own right. Black, her husband and an authority on fish and sustainable fisheries, provides the practical information on fish and seafood, while she presents close to 200 recipes, from Grilled John Dory with Salsa Verde to What-You-Will Stew. Grigson has a lively style and a delightful turn of phrase, and her recipes are fresh and mostly simple, although they do presume some kitchen experience. It's too bad that the publisher didn't undertake an Americanized edition of the book, which would have made it accessible to a much wider audience. (Although there is a chart of American substitutions for some fish, and many recipes list alternatives, much of the information is specific to Great Britain, and British recipe terminology is often a different language from ours.) Nevertheless, this is strongly recommended for special and larger collections. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

I'm in the Mood for Food: In the Kitchen With Garfield

Author: Jim Davis

Over the years, Garfield the cat has struck a chord with readers who can identify with his laid-back, shall-we-say-lazy approach to life. The famous feline-whose passion for food and sleep is matched only by his aversion to diet and exercise (he prefers lie-downs to sit-ups)-has become the poster cat for all kinds of people, none of whom would ever describe themselves as "Type A's."

So what's wrong with that? Twenty-five years after cartoonist Jim Davis introduced this lovable character to newspaper readers, Garfield's timeless appeal remains at an all-time high. And to celebrate a quarter century as the world's favorite feline, Garfield introduces I'm in the Mood for Food: In the Kitchen with Garfield. Chock-full of tasty recipes, the cookbook also features spot art and food-related Garfield comics in color.

I'm in the Mood for Food includes chapters on family food, party food, pasta, outdoor cooking, kids' recipes, snacks and desserts. Consider some of these mouth-watering morsels:

• Lazy Cat's Lasagna

• Color Me Hungry Red Pepper Potato Frittata

• Royal Roasted Lemon-Herb Chicken

• I'd Rather Be Happy Than Thin Chocolate-Chunk Cookies

  All in all, I'm in the Mood for Food will appeal to cooks everywhere, especially those who love Garfield and, like him, believe that the best things in life are edible.

  Children's Literature

  Although designed with an adult market in mind, any kitchen-competent adolescent can follow these simple recipes to produce basic meals. There are a number of lasagna recipes—standard, deluxe, and vegetarian. Standard calls for a can of tomato sauce, while the deluxe and vegetarian varieties rely on cans of crushed tomatoes and a certain amount of diced veggies. Overall, then, the emphasis is on comfort foods: spaghetti and meatballs, mac and cheese, Tex-Mex chili. Comfort, of course, carries over into desserts. Who would think that the production of S'Mores requires an entire two-page essay on technique? And then there is the raison d'etre for the entire enterprise. This, naturally, is the appending of pertinent "Garfield" strips as well as a few single, possibly new, Garfield the Cat/hapless Jon images onto the pages, which add a certain cheerful color to the slim book. This is not a cookbook meant to compete with Julia Child but, for a franchise product, the end result is fairly successful.

Mushroom Feast: A Celebration of All Edible Fungi, Cultivated, Wild and Dried, with Recipes

Author: Jane Grigson

Truffles. . .shiitakes. . .morels -- mushrooms conjure visions of one of the most intriguing and subtle of all comestibles. The average cook can be mystified by how best to prepare these gastronomic treats, while epicures hunger for new ways to expand their repertoires.

Jane Grigson presents more than 250 mushroom recipes -- from simple to highly sophisticated -- for soups, sauces, stuffings, main courses, and more that will satisfy the curiousity and appetites of mushroom dabblers and diehards alike. Included are helpful tips for selecting and preserving the best edible mushrooms (both wild and cultivated), the folklore behind the recipes, a brief history of mushroom cultivation, guides to distinguish edible from poisonous fungi for those who venture to pick their own, and charming line drawings of the 21 most common species.

While poet W.H. Auden immortalized 'dear Jane Grigson' in The Entertainment of the Senses, Grigson, an artist in her trade, is best known for her own wonderful books on food. The Mushroom Feast is an indispensable classic for all those who love mushrooms as much as this rare find: a fine, timeless, literary cookbook.
