The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine is the premier guide to organic wines, domestic and foreign, available in the United States. Whether you are a wine connoisseur, investor, store owner, restauranteur, hotel manager, or just like to drink high-quality wine, The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine will increase your appreciation of wine, the wine country, and the wine-makers who are making better, healthier wines. Evidence indicates that the proper use of wine will help you live longer, look younger, and generally enhance your health. The authors present many scientifically demonstrated health properties of wine along with authoritative references. Such important topics as wine and pregnancy, wine's use in the health care industry, and wine and alcoholism are covered in detail. Wine producers themselves explain their decision to make organic wine and their particular artistry in doing so.

A number of recipes are vegetarian, and several seem to be low in fat (although nutrition information is not included).

The narrative pieces are smoothly written and offer some interesting tidbits. The authors are either natives or have some family connection to the country under discussion. The pages are a warm buff color, and the design allows plenty of space on the page for the text and the nicely reproduced color photos.

The best time to start teaching your children is not once they have gotten into trouble or left the house. It is when their minds and hearts are open to hear from you at a young age.

Children love to learn. Discovery is what life is about for them. What they discover should be for their benefit - and it will be - if you teach them life principles in both formal and informal settings. Fun Meals takes the stress out of the situation. I love to tell my sons stories when we are hanging out, doing things or driving in the car. They are willing and thankful to receive wisdom - if I am willing to impart it!

Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle and Other Salad Recipes or Chocolates Sweets and Candies

Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle and Other Salad Recipes

Author: Kristi Johnson

Dose a classic lettuce salad sound boring to you? With ingrediemts like apples, marshmallows, and even candy bars, these salads are anything but boring. They're tons of fun to make and eat. You'll be serving up a tasty dish in no time with these yummy and easy-to-make recipes.

Children's Literature

Part of a new series, "Fun Food for Cool Cooks" these handsome titles are going to jump into the hands of kids (and grownups) because of the simple recipes, easy directions (usually one sentence per step), large print, enticing photographs of the finished food attractively presented, and a tone that says to kids, "You can DO this!" Every recipe has a star-rating from one to three to show difficulty, a list of ingredients (in small print, however), and pictures in each recipe of the tools to be used during the preparation (a first in cookbooks!). The recipes are titled enticingly and closely fit the theme of each cookbook. Each book includes Facthound.com information, a glossary, an index, a quick bio of the author (in a toque), a few books to lead kids into more reading, and a standard picture book trim size that will draw in older readers as well as the targeted age group (elementary) because of the photos. In this salad treasury you will find recipes for "Oodle Doodles Tuna Noodle Salad" ( a pasta and tuna affair), "Rainbow Fruit Salad" (mixed berry compote in a tall glass), "Sweet Summer Potato Salad" (it has grapes in it as well as chow mein noodles), "Candy Bar Salad" (apples are the only living thing in this one), "Pepperoni Pizza Salad" (lettuce instead of pizza crust), "Mexican Fiesta Salad" (taco salad), "Triple Cheese and Macaroni Salad" (mac and cheese with tomatoes), "Apple and Worm Salad" (it has an apple as the container and a gummy worm hanging out), "Creamy Dreamy Cloud Salad" (fruit cocktail and Cool Whip with a few other ingredients), and last but not least, "Asian Chicken Salad" (with ramen and chicken nuggets). Every recipe also includes a sidebar of "tasty tips" toadd variations or some nice little trivia tidbit kids will like. The "Kitchen Safety" section at the front of each book is conversational and sensible and encourages kids to actually DO things. Unlike many cookbooks, it advises kids to have a First Aid kit in the kitchen too. The front page features a kid photo alongside metric conversions (does anybody ever USE these, I wonder?). These are among the most attractive cookbooks for kids I have seen and would be appropriate for elementary, middle, and early high school readers with nary a complaint from a kid.

Adorable Zucchini: More Magic than the Pumpkin

Author: Naomi Barry

During their prime season, zucchini seem to spring up overnight. They grow with such abandon that on a dewy morning one might well scream, Heaven's to Betsy, what am I supposed to do with them? Pick them, my dear, at once. And enjoy them. Elizabeth David, the celebrated British gastronomic writer, championed the cause of baby zucchini so forcefully that growers actually bowed to her wishes. Her influence was equally felt by the public. In the Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson wrote that zucchini only became popular in England after Elizabeth David in the 1950s and l960s had introduced them to readers of her books.

At Freedoms Table or Everyone Can Cook

At Freedom's Table: More than 200 Years of Receipts and Remembrances from Military Wives

Author: Carolyn Quick Tillery

At Freedom's Table is a collection of recipes, anecdotal stories, and vintage photographs tracing the history and unique contributions of American military wives. Beginning with an Independence Tea Party featuring the foods served by the women of Edenton, North Carolina, at a party on October 25, 1774, it recreates the scenes and foods that recount the stories of the commitments and sacrifice that military wives have given the nation for more than two hundred years.

Presented in menu format, each chapter includes a story that relates to a group of recipes evocative of the period in which the story is set. Some chapters recreate recipes from a historic account, such as "A Colonial Thanksgiving" and "Christmas in the Confederate White House," both of which describe holidays celebrated under wartime conditions. Others are of the international foods they have learned to enjoy from such places as Morocco, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Japan, and Korea. The book is divided into six large sections: Teas and Coffees; Buffets, Brunches, and Lunches; A Taste of Home: Dinner Family Style; Alfresco Dining; Over There: An International Affair; Home for the Holidays and Other Celebrations.

The women, through whose eyes these stories are told and whose recipes are shared, are truly remarkable. They often balanced the responsibilities of maintaining home and hearth, raising a family, managing a business, and supporting a war effort. In addition, they found time to extend themselves in friendship and hospitality to one another and to women in the places where they were stationed, earning them a well-deserved reputation that continues to this day.

Author Biography: Carolyn Quick Tillery, is a wife, mother, attorney, researcher, and cookbook writer. Her lifelong love of cooking led her to write her first book, The African-American Heritage Cookbook, which contains history, recipes, and remembrances from her alma mater, Tuskegee Institute, now known as the Tuskegee University. She and her husband - a career Air Force officer - and daughter live at Vandenberg Air Force Base in the Los Angeles area. At Freedom's Table is her second book.

St. Petersburg Times

Even history buffs will find something to like about At Freedom's Tale, a collection of recipes and remembrances from military spouses as far back as Elizabeth Custer, wife of Gen. George.

Some of author Carolyn Quick Tillery's well-researched cookbook reads like a novel with recipes put in historical context and photographs of notable soldiers.

Fish or Single Malt Whiskies of Scotland

Fish: The Basics

Author: Shirley King

Fish:The Basics has received praise from all quarters for its breadth, clarity, and for the flexibility it gives the seafood cook. Every one of the more than 100 recipes suggests as many as a dozen choices of fish and shellfish that work equally well, with precise cooking times for each. The second part of the book contains more than 200 illustrated profiles of fish and shellfish, including many of the lesser-known varieties that are increasingly common in the marketplace, with a list of recipes that are appropriate for each one. Dozens of step-by-step illustrations of technique in Fish:The Basics ensure that the seafood cook, whether beginner or expert, will never be caught short and forced to choose something less than fresh.

Library Journal

King, chef and author of Saucing the Fish ( LJ 3/15/86), has put together a great deal of information, but somehow this book is a good idea that doesn't quite come off. The text is divided into three sections: health concerns in regard to buying and storing fish; methods of cooking, with generic recipes (e.g., Deep-Fried Seafood, Variation III); and profiles of dozens of varieties, familiar and exotic. But will most cooks want to shuffle back and forth from the description of the fish to the various types of preparation listed as suitable for it, and to possible sauces to accompany it? This will probably be more valuable as a reference source than a cookbook.

Single-Malt Whiskies of Scotland: For the Discriminating Imbiber

Author: James F Harris

Single-malt scotches are the world's most exalted and sublime spirits, the culmination of centuries of folk culture, canny workmanship, scrupulous adherence to exacting standards, and a touch of elusive mystery.

Twenty years ago, single-malt scotches were largely unknown even to many scotch-drinkers, whose experience of Scotch was confined to blends -- mixtures of small amounts of single malts with 70-90 percent cheap and characterless grain alcohol. But there has recently been an explosion of interest in single malts, and any good liquor store now carries more than a dozen different brands.

This book, by two American philosophers, provides a map of the single-malt cosmos for the intelligent and discerning enthusiast. It contains an engaging account of the background, history, manufacture, and qualities of single-malt whisky, detailed evaluations of all available single malts of reliable quality, and knowledgeable instructions on how to organize a whisky tasting. Harris and Waymack have been passionate devotees of single-malt whisky for nearly 20 years, have spent much time in Scotland on field research for this book, and have personally assembled two of the world's most outstanding collections of single malts.

Aphrodite's Food for the Gods: The Ultimate Greek Cookbook

Author: John Pappadakis

Aprodite's Food for the Gods is a Greek cookbook which includes short stories and history about growing up "ethnic" near the famous Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington where the author's grandfather founded the landmark Athenian Cafe.

When the ancient Greeks prepared a meal their gods were always invited - even expected - to sit down and share it with them. Beginning with this reverent approach, Greek recipes have been refined and adjusted to meet the requirements of the ages. Here are a collection of those recipes inspired by a Greek immigrant, Anthrony Pappadakis, who was fascinated and enthralled with America. In 1923, with his two borthers, he started the Athenian Cafe.... This cookbook reflects his enthusiasm for great taste, fun and accessibility to the best of Greek cooking.

Horitos

...a comprehensive selection of traditional Greek food preparation with the emphasis on excellence. Fich flavors and textures straight from the Old Country. Very authentic - I loved it! Highly recommended.

What People Are Saying

Papadakis

Wine People or Cook Tell

Wine People

Author: Stephen Brook

This is a collection of thirty portraits of individuals involved in all aspects of wine productions and consumption, superbly written by one of the most respected writers on wine in the world today. It is by no means restricted to Proprietors and producers, but includes wine merchants and traders, wine writers, and a sommelier. People are attracted to wine for all sorts of reasons. Some inherit properties and perpetuate the skills and traditions handed down to them, others start form scratch creating wine estates or transforming existing properties in the wish to improve diversity; the grand and the modest, the rich and the struggling, the standard bearers of tradition and bold innovators, old men and young women. Every person has been interviewed, and as far as possible ideas are presented in the words of the individual. The parade of personalities is deliberately international. But even so it has proved impossible in a book of this limited size to include individuals from every single wine-producing region of significance. The central focus of the book remains European, and rightly so, but voices are also heard from as far away as Oregon and New Zealand. Accompanying these wonderful essays are photographs of chateaux, cellars and bottles and enchanting line drawings of the protagonist.

Author Biography: Stephen Brook is a contributing editor for Decanter, in which his writing on wine and travel appears regularly. Among his many books are Sauternes and other sweet Wines of Bordeaux and LA.. Days, LA.. Nights. He lives in London.

Cook & Tell: No-Fuss Recipes and Gourmet Surprises

Author: Karyl Bannister

If you're a food lover with a secret file of best-loved recipes and you like real food from real kitchens, it's time to meet Karyl Bannister, the creator of America's favorite home-cooking newsletter, COOK & TELL, and her far-flung subscribers. With a no-nonsense approach, Bannister has chosen her personal favorites and those of her readers. From the elegant to the just plain delicious, COOK & TELL contains recipes for dining duos, fast family suppers, old-fashioned Sunday dinners, holiday celebrations, and more. Filled with folksy anecdotes from Bannister and her COOK & TELL contingent, the book is like an agreeable chat and recipe swap with an old friend.

Stanton Peele

"Fletcher avoids ideological pitfalls and is true to scientific research" (—Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D., author of Love and Addiction and The Truth About Addiction and Recovery

Jasper White

Cook & Tell features simple and very good recipes, food I would like to eat, with an occasional burst of genius.

Gene Burns

Karyl Bannister's Cook & Tell is like a window on the soul of American home cooking.

Pam Anderson

Cook & Tell gives me recipes I want, practical tips I need, and stories that connect me with the larger community of real, everyday cooks. I need two copies of this book – one to get messy, the other to curl up with.

Jane & Michael Stern

Cook & Tell contains a bounty of honest recipes for dishes real people like to prepare for friends and family. Beyond good things to eat, it contains a fetching group portrait of America's true foodies – not trend-setters or celebrity chefs, but real people who worry about making tender pork chops for supper and moist chocolate cake for birthday parties.

Mark B. Sobell

"A compendium of hope for those who have concerns about their own drinking or that of someone close to them." (—Mark B. Sobell, Ph.D., Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University)

Publishers Weekly

After sharing amateur family-style recipes for 20 years in a newsletter of the same title, Bannister compiles her favorites in book form, garnishing them with homey anecdotes, tips from the newsletter's subscribers and her own appealing miniature illustrations. Many of the recipes are named for the subscribers who submitted them Betty's Quick Coffee Cake, Angie's Cold Broccoli giving the book a disarming sewing-circle feel. Bannister's recipes are unremarkable, but quick and undemanding; they typically exhort the reader to not worry too much about technique. Some combine wholesome, fresh ingredients, but most make use of commercially prepared foods such as the canned vegetables or sauces easily found in mainstream grocery stores. Many of the recipes are classics, such as the Simple Shepherd's Pie, Spareribs and Sauerkraut and Cranberry-Glazed Pork Roast. Desserts and baked goods are the strongest offerings, with some truly outstanding, like the Linzertorte, Trifle and Irish Oat Scones. Bannister's paramount assumption is that quickly executing a hot meal for the family is the overriding demand on the average home cook; the success of many of these recipes thus relies on somewhat diminished expectations. The planned six-city author tour may help her overcome slumming cosmopolitans' fear of canned goods. Agent, Doe Coover. B&w illus. (May 17) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

Library Journal

Cook & Tell is the monthly newsletter Bannister has written for the last 20 years, sort of a recipe swap with subscribers all over the country and beyond (she has a number of loyal fans in England and Ireland). For her cookbook, she has gathered her own and readers' favorite recipes, along with hundreds of kitchen tips and suggestions, all charmingly illustrated with her line drawings. The recipes are easy and of the type found in many community cookbooks, including meat loaf, casseroles, molded salads, and the like Bannister, who has a good sense of humor and an engaging style, writes that she "gets a kick out of being some distance from the cutting edge." There are some "gourmet surprises," too, as the title promises, such as pepper-crusted Filet Mignon and some tasty lobster dishes (Bannister lives in Maine). For larger collections.

Beer & Food: An American History

Author: Bob Skilnik

The timeless combination of America's favorite frothy beverage, with its solid gastronomic counterparts, is the focus of this culinary chronicle. Documenting the parallel development of the brewing industry with that of American cookery, this exhaustive history traces ale's influence on recipes in America's early history, the introduction of lager beer in the 19th century, the use of malt extract during Prohibition, and the recent advent of craft beer. The more than 90 beer-related recipes encourage chefs to experience the bliss of wild salmon grilled on cedar planks or brownies washed down with a creamy stout. The book features a foreword by Jim Koch, founder of the Boston Beer Company, which brews Samuel Adams.

Art and Cook or Best of the Best from California

Art and Cook: Love Food, Live Design and Dream Art

Author: Allan Ben

Ever notice the way a school of dome-shaped jellyfish floating in water looks like wild mushroom soup? Or the way a creamy, cratered moon can look like a crispy pita just waiting to be dunked into a swirl of hummus? If you haven't, let Art and Cook open you to a disconcertingly fresh and strange world of correlations. Packaged appropriately in an egg carton, this quirky book serves up art the way it does food—in an eccentric, engaging, and witty manner.
Inspired by Dadaist and Surrealist ideals, Art and Cook aims to "fuse together conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely, joining the everyday rational world in an absolute reality, a surreality." It melds pop art and food to create original works of art that do what any good art intends to: explore new territory, cause controversy, and make people think differently about how we consume food and about the world around them. Art and Cook is not your ordinary cookbook, but it is a totally satisfying and fulfilling experience.

Brewing Microbiology or Vegetarians and Vegans in America Today

Brewing Microbiology

Author: Fergus G Priest

The microbiology of brewing is a diverse subject covering both the production of beer and its stability to spoilage. The second edition of this extremely successful book provides in depth coverage of all aspects of brewing microbiology. It gives descriptions of the physiology and biochemistry of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with emphasis on brewery fermentation, together with a review of genetic modification of yeast in the context of flavour manipulation, flocculation and the production of low-carbohydrate beers. Much of the book is devoted to spoilage by bacteria and yeasts and its control. Recent developments in academic research into spoilage microorganisms are balanced by specialist coverage of laboratory methods. Brewing Microbiology serves both as reference book and laboratory manual and is of value to technical brewers who must keep abreast of current developments, as well as to quality controllers and laboratory research workers in the brewing and related food beverage and beverage industries.

Vegetarians and Vegans in America Today

Author: Karen Iacobbo

Vegetarianism is not a diet trend, or the flavor of the month. Instead, it is a philosophy and practice with roots in antiquity. Vegetarianism has existed for centuries in much of the world as a social movement and subculture. In the United States, this subculture has existed for more than 200 years. In this book, the Iacobbos bring this thriving subculture to life. By examining its businesses, organizations, events, scholarship, and influence on the arts, and by interviewing dozens of vegetarians and vegans, the authors reveal a subculture whose members hold a variety of perspectives on everything from animal rights to advocacy, politics, and religion.
