Joy of Eating: The Virago Book of Food

Author: Jill Foulston

Beatrix Potter wove one of her most malicious tales around the roly-poly pudding. Colette counted the nuts she would pick before falling asleep in the French countryside. Dorothy Wordsworth noted her pie-making sessions in her diary and Anne Frank observed the eating habits of her companions in hiding. Food is a constant in our lives, and it has always been a basic ingredient of women's writing—in household books, cookbooks, diaries, letters, and fiction. In this anthology concentrating on international food writing by women, indulge your appetite with such diverse writers as Edwidge Danticat, Barbara Pym, and J. K. Rowling. Try making Elisabeth Luard's Afghan Betrothal Custard, Martha Washington's marzipan birds, or Nigella Lawson's favorite comfort food. And why not sneak into the literary kitchens of Banana Yoshimoto, Emily Brontë, and Angela Carter?

Importance of Food and Mealtimes in Dementia Care: The Table Is Set

Author: Grethe Berg

Mealtimes are about much more than just re-fuelling, and the importance of mealtimes in the care of people with dementia cannot be overestimated. Using her extensive experience of working with older people with dementia, Grethe Berg explains how mealtimes can be used as natural opportunities for meaningful interaction, socialising and reminiscing, and useful forums for taking part in familiar tasks. The book considers the social significance of mealtimes and their role in maintaining patients' feelings of social attachment and well-being as well as the impact of the symptoms of dementia on food and mealtimes. It also explores different types of residential care and how they can make mealtimes a focus of activity for patients.

Carnal Appetite: Food Sex Identities

Author: Elspeth Probyn

Why is there a new explosion of interest in authentic ethnic foods and exotic cooking shows, where macho chefs promote sensual adventures in the kitchen? Why do we watch TV ads that promise more sex if we serve the right breakfast cereal? Why is the hunger strike such a potent political tool? Food inevitably engages questions of sensuality and power, of our connections to our bodies and to our world.

Carnal Appetites brilliantly uses the lens of food and eating to ask how we eat into culture, eat into identities, indeed eat into ourselves. Drawing on interviews, theory, and her own war with anorexia, Probyn argues that food is replacing sex in our imagination and experience of bodily pleasure. Our culinary cravings and habits express the turmoil in gender roles, in families, and even in the world economy, where famine coexists with plenty. Probyn explores these dark interconnections to forge a new visceral ethics rooted in the language of hunger and satiety, disgust and pleasure, gluttonyand restraint.

From the fat pride movement and diet fads to genetically altered grain and colonial cannibalism, Carnal Appetites looks at what we eat to tell us who we are.

The Diet Code or Pizza

The Diet Code: Revolutionary Weight Loss Secrets from Da Vinci and the Golden Ratio

Author: Stephen Lanzalotta

As a master baker, painter, and woodworker, Stephen Lanzalotta has used the mathematical principles of The Golden Ratio (an integral plot element in The Da Vinci Code) for more than 30 years. His realization that this seemingly magic formula, once used by Da Vinci, held the secret to optimal health and weight loss led him to apply it to his menu at his popular bakery/cafe. Thus was born THE DIET CODE, a revolutionary Mediterranean-style program that makes each meal as easy as 1-2-3 (1 part grain, 2 parts protein, 3 parts vegetable/fruit), to boost metabolism and spark weight loss. The plan reveals Renaissance foods that promote weight control and includes unique tips for diet success, including: * Eat bread--but not without fat or protein * Cook pasta al dente to boost fat loss * Balance your plate by The Golden Ratio of carbs, protein, and fat. Combining menu plans and recipes, as well as Renaissance lore and Italian tips on healthy eating, this is a unique diet plan from the ages for the ages.

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent or A Handbook of Invalid Cooking

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent

Author: Fannie Merritt Merritt Farmer

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent was originally published in 1904 to meet the demands of the numberless classes of trained nurses in cookery school.

The opening chapters are equally valuable to those who care for the sick and those who see in correct feeding the way of preventing much of the illness about us. Emphasis has been laid on the importance of diet from in fancy to old age. The classification, composition, nutritive value, and digestibility of foods have been carefully considered with the same constant purpose of being a help to those who arrange dietaries. Considerable matter has been introduced with reference to diet in various diseases, and the recipes for the diabetic have involved much thought and labor.

Cultures of Taste Theories of Appetite or Lorenzas Italian Seasons

Cultures of Taste/Theories of Appetite: Eating Romanticism

Author: Timothy Morton

Cultures of Taste/Theories of Appetite brims with fresh material: from fish and chips to the first curry house in Britain, from mother's milk to Marx, from Kant on dinner parties to Mary Wollstonecraft on toilets. It examines a wide variety of Romantic writers: Hegel, Coleridge, Charlotte Smith, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and Keats, and lesser-known writers such as William Henry Ireland and Charles Piggot. It includes a look at some legacies of Romanticism in the twentieth century, such as the work of Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre and Philip Larkin.

Cultures of Taste/Theories of Appetite is a volume of interdisciplinary essays that brings together a wide range of scholarship in diet studies, a growing field that investigates connections between food, drink and culture, including literature, philosophy and history. The collection considers the full range of social, cultural, political and philosophical phenomena associated with food in the Romantic period, reconsidering issues of race, class and gender, as well as those of colonialism, imperialism, and science. Cultures of Taste/Theories of Appetite brings two major critical impulses within the field of Romanticism to bear upon an important and growing field of research: appetite and its related discourses of taste and consumption. As consumption--in all its metaphorical variety--comes to displace the body as a theoretical site for challenging the distinction between inside and outside, food itself has attracted as a device to interrogate the rhetoric and politics of Romanticism. In brief, the volume initiates a dialogue between the cultural politics of food and eating, and the philosophicalimplications of ingestion, digestion, and excretion.

Lorenza's Italian Seasons: 200 Recipes for Family and Friends

Author: Lorenza de Medici

The four seasons -- or le quattro stagioni -- have always had the most profound effect on the way we cook, inspiring us to improvise with the finest and freshest produce nature has to offer. In Lorenza's Italian Seasons, Lorenza de'Medici presents her favourite classic and contemporary recipes which reflect the Italian year.

With the expertise that permeates her famous cookery school in Tuscany, Lorenza teaches us to savour the best seasonal ingredients. Sweet, tender broad beans from the spring garden are used in a simple salad with pecorino, olive oil and parsley; softly scented, warm-skinned apricots from summer orchards are transformed into a fragrant yoghurt and apricot mousse; musky wild mushrooms from the autumn woods become the basis of an elegant dish of roast partridge; and dark-leaved cavolo nero from the frosty winter soil is an essential ingredient for authentic ribollita, the thick bean and vegetable soup of Tuscany. Recipes such as Cinghiale ai Mirtilli Rossi (Wild Boar with Cranberries), Pan coi Santi (All Saints' Day Bread), and Torta di Pinoli al Limone (Lemon and Pine Nut Tart) tell of the changing landscape and weather, of religious festivals celebrated and observed, of harvests, blossoming orchards and sleeping winter fields.

In Lorenza's introductions to each season, food is described in context to each seasonal celebration which bring joy to cooking and eating -- a torch-lit supper in the Renaissance garden of the family estate, Badia a Coltibuono, as well as simpler feasts, such as family picnics with her eight grandchildren, for which she prepares fresh wholegrain bread, a pasta salad with fresh cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil and extra virgin olive oil and a creamy panna cotta with fresh summer berries. Feast menus for every season -- Easter, Midsummer, Autumn and Christmas -- accompany each chapter, while a store cupboard section provides recipes and tips for preserving and storing produce for other occasions.

River Cottage Cookbook or Curious Cook at Home

River Cottage Cookbook

Author: Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall

Published to tie in with the third series of the acclaimed Channel 4 River Cottage , this book draws on Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's experiences at his home in Dorset.
Hugh writes:"There are two reasons why you may want to buy this book. The first is more or less selfish, because the main aim here is simply to help you enjoy your life more - your life with food, that is. One of the most satisfying things about my life at River Cottage is that I've hardly ever had a bad meal here. Of course I've burned things and messed up once in a while. But I rarely have that experience that used to seem all too common, where I find myself thinking "why am I eating this rubbish?"
The second reason is more political. This book is written with a strong awareness that our current food production system leaves a great deal to be desired. Most of the meat we eat comes from industrially farmed animals who lead miserable lives and are fed on inappropriate diets. It is neither as tasty nor as healthy as it should be. Much of the fruit and vegetables we eat is the product of intensive agriculture that pollutes the land we live on and leaves unnecessary residues on and in the produce. I don't like that, and I know more and more people who feel the same way.
How much of this book you incorporate into your life is up to you. But if all you do is grow a few herbs in a window box, make nettle soup once a year, and try a free range goose for Christmas instead of a frozen turkey, you will already, I hope, be enjoying your life more."
With over 100 recipes, and Simon Wheeler's acclaimed photography, "The River Cottage Cookbook" should appeal to all downshifters and to all those who prefer their food tobe full-blooded and wholesome.

Al Dente or Little Cafe Cakes

Al Dente: The Adventures of a Gastronome in Italy

Author: William Black

Bill Bryson meets Elizabeth David in this witty gastronomic tour of Italy.

William Black is serious about Italian food. Except when he’s joking, which is often. And he will stop at nothing to discover the whys and wherefores of la dolce vita. In Al Dente, our intrepid gastronome eats whatever gets in his way. He travels the length and breadth of Italy in his quest for the most authentic cooking and the very finest ingredients: one minute he’s chasing after rabbits in Ischia, the next he’s scoffing eel brodetto and waxing lyrical about frog risotto. Although he prefers roadside establishments and local trattorie to high–end cibo nuovo, whatever he’s eating is a revelation. A joy from cover to cover, this is a must for anyone who thinks they know about Italian food. William Black, with his partner Sophie Grigson, is the author of several best–selling books, including Fish and Organic.

Kirkus Reviews

Lighthearted travels through Italy that get tightly focused when it's mealtime. "I drove on, deviated, climbed inland and stopped for lunch." So it goes as British food writer Black (Fish, 1999, etc.) makes his way about Italy, cobbling together this gustatory portrait of the country from regular fortnightly doses of cheap travel. There are politics in these pages, from short regional histories to the seriousness with which Italians take their gelati; there is some pursuit of genealogy, of the Rossellis on Black's mother's side; and these chapters can easily be deployed as travel guides, organized as they are by specific areas, happy to give directions. ("If you head straight down to the Tiber from here you should get to the ghetto. . . .") And there are those deviations, such as time to "reflect a little on tales of exploitation and lust among the rice fields of Vercelli." But ultimately, this is about eating well—and often: of apricots and capers from Stromboli, of casu marzo (rotten cheese) that "is quite difficult for anyone but a Sard to eat," of Neapolitan pizza and the importance of frogs in brodo. It is about the iconic cacciucco ("the cooking of piscatorial detritus, a dish eaten to keep fishermen's hunger at bay") and the role played by the town of Comacchio in "the sacred act of eel jigginess." It is also gratifyingly opinionated: "Her house began to stink, so she said, like a Greek fisherman's crotch [from the smell of stewing octopus]. This is wimpish talk, frankly. I am of the opinion that octopus is quite one of the most exquisite things to come from the sea." And it is full of good advice: "Now, a word about panissa," he will state, as befits the son-in-law of foodhistorian Jane Grigson; or, "Let me offer you a few hints, a few truffle do's and don'ts." A garden mix of personal history, political history, and food all'Italia.

Feast of Words or Just Wed Cook Book

Feast of Words: Banquets and Table Talk in the Renaissance

Author: Michael Jeanneret

The banquet gives rise to a special moment when thought and the senses—words and food—enhance each other. Throughout history, the ideal of the symposium has reconciled the angel and the beast in the human, renewing the interdependence between the mouth that speaks and the mouth that eats. Michel Jeanneret's lively book explores the paradigm of the banquet as a guide to significant tendencies in Renaissance Humanist culture and shows how this culture in turn illuminates the tensions between physical and mental pleasures. Ranging widely over French, Italian, German, and Latin texts, Jeanneret not only investigates the meal as a narrative artefact but enquires as well into aspects of sixteenth-century anthropology and aesthetics.

12 SeasonsUnder the Florida Sun

Author: Doug Janousek

Twelve Seasons Under the Florida Sun is as much about the chefs who contributed to it as it is the food they cook.

Formal dinners, summer picnics, holiday buffets - the meals here run the gamut and every reader is sure to find something that appeals to their taste buds. Whether an experienced restaurant chef, a school-trained culinarian, a career-changer or just a life-long cook, the chefs in this book give you a glimpse into what drives them and what inspires them, as well as tips and clear instructions on how to re-create their dishes in your own kitchen or if you prefer, a way to reach them to allow them to do it for you.

Fresh, high quality ingredients combined with experience and the proper technique, served to you with style and personality by eight different personal chefs who have very individual approaches to their menus.

Seasonal cooking is about using what's good and fresh and available right now. Not frozen, not canned, not grown somewhere else and shipped in. This really isn't a new concept; home cooks with gardens have cooked with what was available for generations. Cooks without a home garden can find high-quality ingredients at the supermarket and if they are willing to drive a tiny bit farther and find one of those roadside produce markets, they can cook with local flavor without any of the weeding.

Personal chefing is, well, personal and it varies from chef to chef as well as from client to client. This book and these recipes within give you a glimpse into the inner workings of the chefs as they build a meal for you.

See you in the kitchen!

Eating Your Words or Real Cheese Companion

Eating Your Words: 2000 Words To Tease Your Taste Buds

Author: William Grimes

Here is a feast of words that will whet the appetite of food and word lovers everywhere. William Grimes, former restaurant critic for The New York Times, covers everything from bird's nest soup to Trockenbeerenauslese in this wonderfully informative food lexicon.
Eating Your Words is a veritable cornucopia--a thousand-and-one entries on candies and desserts, fruits and vegetables, meats, seafood, spices, herbs, wines, cheeses, liqueurs, cocktails, sauces, dressings, and pastas. The book includes terms from around the world (basmati, kimchi, haggis, callaloo) and from around the block (meatloaf, slim jims, Philly cheesesteak). Grimes describes utensils (from tandoor and wok to slotted spoon and zester), cooking styles (a bonne femme, over easy), cuts of meat (crown roast, prime rib), and much more. Each definition includes a pronunciation guide and many entries indicate the origin of the word. Thus we learn that olla podrida is Spanish for 'rotten pot' and mulligatawny comes from the Tamil words milaku-tanni, meaning 'pepper water.' Grimes includes helpful tips on usage, such as when to write whiskey and when to write whisky. In addition, there are more than a dozen special sidebars on food and food word topics--everything from diner slang to bad fad diets--plus a time line of food trends by decade and a list of the best regional snack foods.
Even if you don't know a summer sausage from a spring chicken, you will find Eating Your Words a delectable treat. And for everyone who loves to cook, this superb volume is an essential resource--and the perfect gift.

The New York Times - Tobin Harshaw

Making for an even richer feast is Grimes's introduction, a cogent account of how we've gone from being a people who once carelessly categorized all pastas as ''macaroni'' to a nation that knows its rigatoni from its rotelli. In the main text, Grimes includes a generous helping of shorter reflections, including a lexicon of diner slang and a consideration of the hot dog.

Real Cheese Companion: A Guide to Best Handmade Cheeses of Britain and Ireland

Author: Sarah Freeman

The craft of cheesemaking is currently experiencing an exciting revival. A new generation of artisan cheesemakers is now producing not only the hard cows' milk and blue cheeses usually associated with Britain, but also soft cheeses of the Brie and Camembert type, hard sheep's cheeses, which can be used in the same way as Parmesan and pecorino, both hard and soft goats' cheeses, and a small but growing number of organic and buffalo cheeses. Cheese enthusiast Sarah Freeman visited farmhouse cheesemakers throughout Britain and Ireland in the belief that knowing the cheeses and understanding how they are made can only enhance the enjoyment of them. She watched the cheeses being made - from raw milk through to maturing - asked questions and tasted extensively. In The Real Cheese Companion she reviews over 150 of these handmade cheeses, describes the individual cheesemaking process, and provides the cheese connoisseur with a unique collection of recipes and serving suggestions.

Bowlfood Cookbook: Over 200 Dazzling and Eclectic Recipes from the Restaurant Lola Bowla

Author: Lynne Aronson

Bowl food is Asian tangy and Mediterranean fresh. And as much fun as eating a whole meal with a spoon or chopsticks. Creating a delicious matrix of flavors, cultures, and imagination-all meting in the bottom of the bowl-chefs Lynne Aronson and Elizabeth Simon offer over 200 easy, sophisticated recipes for deep, nourishing bowls of soups and stews, wide, saucy bowls of noodles and rice, salad bowls-of course!-and bowlfood desserts. Because everything tastes better in a bowl.

Library Journal

Aronson is the chef of Manhattan's popular restaurant Lola and its more casual offspring, Lola Bowla, where "bowlfood"--big or small bowls of soups and stews, noodle and pasta dishes, salads, and the like--is the specialty. Here she and former colleague Simon present 200 recipes for their lively food, influenced by Asian, Mediterranean, and Latin cuisines and characterized by bold, lusty flavors. There are also "Dumplings and Doodads," accompaniments to be served in or along with the "bowls"; "Fire and Spice," condiments, seasonings, and so forth; a brief dessert chapter; and an abundance of boxes and sidebars on all sorts of culinary topics. For most collections.

Delia Smith: The Biography

Author: Alison Bowyer

Delia Smith is more than just a cook—she has become a national icon with a loyal following of fans and a business empire worth millions. She single-handedly brought about The Great Cranberry Crisis of 1995 when her fans cleared supermarket shelves of the fruit, and a previously small-time saucepan manufacturer saw its turnover soar with a mention of their omelette pan. This book tells the extraordinary story of this woman's life, from leaving school without a single qualification to becoming the undisputed queen of the kitchen. Drawing upon interviews with friends and colleagues, this biography shows that life has not always been easy for Delia, but reveals how her iron will ensures that she remains one step ahead of her rivals.

Kirkus Reviews

Earnestly admiring biography of the British cooking icon. Alternating between breathless commentary and tough quotes from critics (serious foodies are not so smitten as the general public), British journalist Bowyer follows Smith from her lower-class childhood in a London suburb to her illustrious present. Tony Blair offered her a life peerage, the Queen honored her, and she is reputed to be worth over Ј24 million. Not bad for a woman who left school in 1957, at age 16, to work as a hairdresser in London. There, Smith began making interesting friends, learned how to dress, and in 1962 met a mentor: Leo Evans, a metallurgy professor by day and a chef by night who transformed her life. Working evenings at a popular restaurant for which Evans cooked, she soon moved up from washing dishes to preparing dishes under his tuition. Other cooking jobs followed, and she gave up hairdressing. Bowyer records Smith's beginnings as a columnist for a London daily; her detailed but simple recipes soon made her a household name. She wrote books and had her own shows on the BBC; one series became The Complete Cookery Course, which on video has sold more than a million copies. A profitable association with a magazine connected to a major grocery chain has also helped make her very rich. Smith, a convert to Catholicism, has written religious books and donated generously to charity. To demonstrate how influential Smith's cooking shows are, Bowyers points to her praise of a particular omelet pan—the manufacturer had to hire 15 additional workers to deal with the demand—and her use in a recipe of the unfamiliar-to-Brits shallot, whose sales subsequently increased by 2,000 percent. No one claims Smith is aninnovative chef; Bowyer thinks much of her success is due to her ability to explain cooking in terms everyone can understand. Dutifully assembles all the ingredients, but the result is a literary pudding without theme.

Food and Cultural Studies or Cooking in America 1840 1945

Food and Cultural Studies

Author: Bob Ashley

What and how we eat are two of the most persistent choices we face in everyday life. Whatever we decide on though, and however mundane our decisions may seem, they will be inscribed with information both about ourselves and about our positions in the world around us. Yet, food has only recently become a significant and coherent area of inquiry for cultural studies and the social sciences.

Food and Cultural Studies re-examines the interdisciplinary history of food studies from a cultural studies framework, from the semiotics of Barthes and the anthropology of Levi-Strauss to Elias' historical analysis and Bourdieu's work on the relationship between food, consumption and cultural identity. The authors then go on to explore subjects as diverse as food and nation, the gendering of eating in, the phenomenon of TV chefs, the ethics of vegetarianism and food, risk and moral panics.

This book is fascinating reading for students and academics studying both consumption and cultural studies morebroadly.

Cooking in America, 1840-1945

Author: Alice L McLean

This cookbook covers the years 1840 through 1945, a time during which American cookery underwent a full-scale revolution. Gas and electric stoves replaced hearth cookery. Milk products came from commercial dairy farms rather than the family cow. Daily meals were no longer bound by seasons and regions, as canned, bottled, and eventually frozen products flooded the market and trains began to transport produce and meat from one end of the country to the other. During two World Wars and the Great Depression women entered the work force in unprecedented numbers and household servants abandoned low-paying domestic jobs to work in factories. As a result of these monumental changes, American home cooking became irrevocably simplified and cookery skills geared more toward juggling time to comb grocery store shelves for the best and most economical products than toward butchering and preserving an entire animal carcass or pickling fruits and vegetables.

Pauline Baughman - Library Journal

In this fascinating book, McLean (honors postdoctoral fellow at Sweet Briar Coll.) examines cookbooks as a primary source, showing the enormous changes that occurred on the tables of Americans from the preindustrial period to the onset of World War II. Divided into three chronological sections, the book kicks off with a brief overview of the cooking and preservation methods, major foodstuffs, cooking equipment, cultural influences, and dining customs of the time. The first section includes recipes from three early American cookbooks; the second section demonstrates the rise in popularity of community cookbooks and includes recipes from the first known cookbooks written by an African American and a Hispanic; and the third section shows the rise of male-authored cookbooks and reflects the changes in cooking habits as a result of two world wars and the Great Depression. Each section also includes popular recipes—over 300 in all—taken from cookbooks of the time, ladies' magazines, newspapers, and family collections.

Marilyn FairbanksCopyright 2006 Reed Business Information. - School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up
These well-organized titles provide historical overviews, discussing changes in recipes brought about by changes in ways of life, e.g., agrarian to industrialized economy, the Depression, and limitation of ingredients due to wars. Both books include commentary and recipes. However, neither book states amounts of ingredients, the exception being the third chapter in America, but, even then, not all of the recipes include measurements. Many of the recipes make large batches of a particular dish without stating the number of servings. Text boxes range from "14th-Century Advice to a Young Bride" (Europe ) to "To Dress a Chicken" (America ), and glossaries explain terms not commonly in use today. The black-and-white illustrations of equipment and foods are excellent. Back matter includes extensive bibliographies of cookbooks and good indexes. The series foreword states that the recipes are meant to appeal to "novice" cooks. However, only very experienced or adventurous cooks would try to re-create these dishes.

Love on the Rocks or Holiday Eggs

Love on the Rocks: Men, Women, and Alcohol in Post-World War II America

Author: Lori Rotskoff

In this fascinating history of alcohol in postwar American culture, Lori Rotskoff draws on short stories, advertisements, medical writings, and Hollywood films to investigate how gender norms and ideologies of marriage intersected with scientific and popular ideas about drinking and alcoholism.

After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, recreational drinking became increasingly accepted among white, suburban, middle-class men and women. But excessive or habitual drinking plagued many families. How did people view the "problem drinkers" in their midst? How did husbands and wives learn to cope within an "alcoholic marriage?" And how was drinking linked to broader social concerns during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War era?

By the 1950s, Rotskoff explains, mental health experts, movie producers, and members of self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon helped bring about a shift in the public perception of alcoholism from "sin" to "sickness." Yet alcoholism was also viewed as a family problem that expressed gender-role failure for both women and men. On the silver screen (in movies such as The Lost Weekend and The Best Years of Our Lives) and on the printed page (in stories by writers such as John Cheever), in hospitals and at Twelve Step meetings, chronic drunkenness became one of the most pressing public health issues of the day.

Rustic Table or Resource Guide for Food Writers

Rustic Table: Simple Fare from the World's Kitchens

Author: Constance Snow

Countries all over the world have their own kind of"rustic" food -- simple, thrifty, hearty, unpretentious, and full of flavor. Earthy and tantalizing, rustic is the kind of food that memories are made of, passed down through generations of grandmothers and aunts to daughters and sons. In The Rustic Table, IACP Award-winning author Constance Snow re-creates flavors from more than twenty-five different countries with more than 200 recipes for starters, sides, entrées, and desserts.

For breakfast, try West African Spice Doughnuts, Vietnamese "Happy Pancakes," or Swiss Fruit and Mixed-Grain Porridge. Lunch and dinner possibilities include light entrées like Asian-Style Noodle Salad with Spicy Sesame Dressing and French Vegetable Soup with Basil and Garlic, as well as hearty dishes such as Korean Grilled Beef, Native American Planked Salmon, and Greek Lamb and Bulgur Meatballs with Cucumber Yogurt Dip. And there's no dessert like a truly rustic one: Creole Praline Bread Pudding with Warm Whiskey Sauce, Thai Sticky Coconut Rice with Mango and Mint, or Shaker Lemon Pie.

The Rustic Table is a real taste of really easy rustic food. This is a cookbook for home cooks who enjoy using ingredients as close to nature as possible and who want to prepare food with ingredients that are easy to find and recipes that involve just a few quick steps.

Food in Russian History and Culture

Author: Musya Glants

This Collection of Original Essays gives surprising insights into what foodways reveal about Russia's history and culture from Kievan times to the present. A wide array of sources - including chronicles, diaries, letters, police records, poems, novels, folklore, paintings, and cookbooks - help to interpret the moral and spiritual role of food in Russian culture. Stovelore in Russian folklife, fasting in Russian peasant culture, food as power in Dostoevsky's fiction, Tolstoy and vegetarianism, restaurants in early Soviet Russia, Soviet cookery and cookbooks, and food as art in Soviet paintings are among the topics discussed in this appealing volume.

Library Journal

Fourteen scholars have contributed 13 essays, each impeccably documented with endnotes, on the place of food ("foodways") in Russian history and culture. Edited by Glants, a specialist on 19th- and 20th-century Russian painting, and Toomre, a Slavicist and culinary historian, the book spans over ten centuries, from Kievan Rus to the present. Relying on sources as diverse as personal journals, police records, paintings, poems, and cookbooks, the writers examine changing attitudes about foodmoral, ideological, and spiritualthrough the eyes of peasants as well as tyrants. Recent works have dealt with the relationship between food and power (Sidney Mintz, Tasting Food, Tasting Freedom, LJ 8/96), but certainly the specificity and breadth of this one makes it unique. Although lively reading, it is particularly recommended for academic collections with a strong focus in Russian history.Wendy Miller, Lexington P.L., Ky.

Accounting for Taste: The Triumph of French Cuisine

Author: Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson

French cuisine is such a staple in our understanding of fine food that we forget the accidents of history that led to its creation. Accounting for Taste brings these "accidents" to the surface, illuminating the magic of French cuisine and the mystery behind its historical development. Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson explains how the food of France became French cuisine.

This momentous culinary journey begins with Ancien Régime cookbooks and ends with twenty-first-century cooking programs. It takes us from Carême, the "inventor" of modern French cuisine in the early nineteenth century, to top chefs today, such as Daniel Boulud and Jacques Pépin. Not a history of French cuisine, Accounting for Taste focuses on the people, places, and institutions that have made this cuisine what it is today: a privileged vehicle for national identity, a model of cultural ascendancy, and a pivotal site where practice and performance intersect. With sources as various as the novels of Balzac and Proust, interviews with contemporary chefs such as David Bouley and Charlie Trotter, and the film Babette's Feast, Ferguson maps the cultural field that structures culinary affairs in France and then exports its crucial ingredients. What's more, well beyond food, the intricate connections between cuisine and country, between local practice and national identity, illuminate the concept of culture itself.

To Brillat-Savarin's famous dictum—"Animals fill themselves, people eat, intelligent people alone know how to eat"—Priscilla Ferguson adds, and Accounting for Taste shows, how the truly intelligent also know why they eat the way they do.

“Parkhurst Ferguson has her nose in the right place, and an infectious lust for her subject that makes this trawl through the history and cultural significance of French food—from French Revolution to Babette’s Feast via Balzac’s suppers and Proust’s madeleines—a satisfying meal of varied courses.”—Ian Kelly, Times (UK)

Karaoke Nights or Great American Supper Swap

Karaoke Nights: An Ethnographic Rhapsody

Author: Rob Drew

Karaoke. The word conjures all kinds of visions - possible stardom, abject performance terror, or just head shaking bewilderment. Ten years ago when the Japanese craze had only recently arrived in the U.S., Rob Drew was drawn to the phenomenon as subject of research. What he discovered will fascinate and surprise you, whether you're a student of popular culture or just curious what's going to happen next Saturday when you get up to sing your first song at the corner bar. "Karaoke Nights" is both a keen observation on the external behavior of deejays, performers, and audience and an intimate portrait of the emotional roller coaster that is the internal life of a karaoke singer. Drew lets you feel just what it's like to be the performer - agonizing over the song, feeling the nervous anticipation, analyzing your performance. At the same time he provides a probing analysis of the varied roles karaoke plays in popular culture and how it can guide an understanding of "local music" and the relationship of ordinary people to stardom.
