Interesting textbook: Your Depression Map or The Natural Medicine Guide to Depression
Author: Alice Vollenweider
Since 1533, when Caterina de Médici was accompanied by numerous cooks and cellarers on her trip to France to marry King Henri I, Tuscan cuisine has been considered the mother of all European fine cooking. Alice Vollenweider has written a travelogue, cookbook and literary guide all in one, full of delightful prospects and insights into the Italian way of life, which evolves around cooking and eating - the most sociable part of their culture. All the important regions of Italy are introduced by their cuisine and made even more palatable with many recipes and useful tips about people, places and pleasures. Written by one of the leading experts on contemporary Italian pots and poets, the book introduces Italian writers within their home region and furthermore gives useful hints about restaurants, the odd rare fabric shop, a hidden museum or beautiful drinking bars. Includes over 80 recipes.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
