Food and Drink in Britain: From the Stone Age to the 19th Century

Author: C Anne Wilson

This enormously readable and entertaining history covers the choice and preparation sof food in Britain from the days of the hunter/gatherers to the Industrial Revolution, and gives at the same time a table-top perspective of class structure, religion, politics and social usage. In addition, unique old recipes are scattered through the book, along with a plethora of delightful illustrtiions.

The Guardian

"One of the most fascinating histories to have appeared in recent years...engrossing."

Country Life

"A well-informed, exceptionally well-organized and immensely readable history of what we've eaten -- why, how and where we've eaten it, caught or grown or imported it, spiced, pickled, salted and cured it. Or drunk it. A social history, an economic history."

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

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.

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.

Gourmet Gardener: Everything You Need to Know to Grow the Finest of Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers

Author: Bob Flowerdew

In his abundantly illustrated new book, organic gardening authority Bob Flowerdew offers expert practical advice on growing top-quality produce with incomparable flavor and freshness.

In The Gourmet Gardener, Bob Flowerdew concentrates on his favorite varieties of vegetables, fruits, and flowers--the ones that will give you the most return on your labor in terms of taste and enjoyment. Here is detailed information on growing hundreds of varieties of edible plants--all, of course, organically. Bob provides you with the know-how to enjoy perfectly ripened vegetables and fruits fresh from the garden and an ever-replenishing supply of culinary herbs, salad leaves, edible flowers, and heritage varieties not available in supermarkets. A chapter on preserving your harvest rounds off the book, so that you can freeze, dry, and transform your garden treats into conserves, sorbets, liqueurs, and confections of all kinds. Bob Flowerdew is Britain's foremost authority on organic gardening methods; among his many books are The Complete Book of Organic Gardening and Bob Flowerdew's Organic Bible.

Publishers Weekly

Flowerdew, a British horticulturist and author of several books on organic gardening, writes this guide for experienced growers ready to go "gourmet." He argues that mass-grown, chemically treated produce is inferior to organic, and that anything sold in stores has likely suffered during shipping and shelving. A true gourmet should cook using only the best, and that means fresh, home-grown fare. Flowerdew is comprehensive as he describes his tried-and-true techniques for raising even the most temperamental fruits and veggies, but beginning gardeners will be intimidated by the sheer volume of information and the technical knowledge Flowerdew assumes of his readers. More experienced growers will appreciate new tips on old favorites such as carrots, broccoli and peaches, plus the chance to try their hand at more exotic fare like bulbous-rooted chervil, rowan berries and bok, or pak, choi. Flowerdew also includes a chapter on storing and processing, and a rather extraneous section on growing flowers. Gorgeous photos liven up this authoritative, if textbooklike, guide to gourmet gardening. (Feb.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Tofu Cookery or Book of Grilling and Barbecuing

Tofu Cookery

Author: Louise Hagler

Written by soyfoods pioneer and gourmet cook Louise Hagler, Tofu Cookery is the most beautiful and useful tofu cookbook on the market and a best-seller for more than ten years.

Updated for the 90s with light, low-fat dishes, this book makes it easy to add a healthful portion of soy to your diet. Includes step-by-step instructions (along with photos) for making tofu in your own kitchen. Contains over 25 full page color photos.

"A tofu cookbook for the 90s".

Publishers Weekly

In this newly-revised edition of the 25-year-old classic, Hagler (Tofu Quick & Easy, Miso Cookery, Meatless Burgers) finds yet more options for this vegetarian staple. Offering over a hundred recipes for everything from straightforward dips (chive, dill, roasted red pepper and guacamole) to favorites like manicotti, enchiladas, chili, stir-fries and cheesecake, Hagler includes plenty of everyday dishes that cooks will return to again and again. Some dishes, such as the overly complicated Spring Rolls and the stunningly unattractive Layered Casserole, a multilayered earth-toned dish comprised of spinach, tofu with pimentos and mushrooms, are devoid of texture and may give some cooks pause, but the sheer number and variety of entries (a dozen puddings, 16 breads, 18 salad dressings) more than make up for the occasional missteps, and ensure that diners won't get bored.

Drunk the Night Before or Herbal Remedy Gardens

Drunk the Night Before: An Anatomy of Intoxication

Author: Marty Roth

This invigorating work traces the cultural history of convivial drinking before the concept of addiction overshadowed intoxication's reputation as a creative, philosophical, and spiritual force. Marty Roth's Drunk the Night Before illustrates altered consciousness from myth to contemporary life, laying bare the behaviors and beliefs, sacred and secular, invested in intoxication. From the days of antiquity to the twentieth century, Roth follows the often veiled language of intoxication through religion and aesthetics, poetry and art, popular festivals and film. In this sweeping work, he examines the cultural roots of love potions and the fountain of youth, drunkenness in Hollywood cinema, the religious concept of a spiritual high versus the condemnation of intoxication. Roth reinvigorates the currently rebuffed connection between intoxication and artistic creativity, taking up by turn the poet Anacreon and the canon of drink poetry - from classical Greek to the European lyric, Euripides' Bacchae and the figure of Socrates in Plato's Symposium, the heavy investment of Western philosophy in intoxication, and the concepts of the carnivalesque in Friedrich Nietzsche and Mikhail Bakhtin. At once deeply erudite and irresistibly congenial, this encyclopedic work makes critical sense of the long history of alcohol as potion and poison, as pharmakon and catalyst, revealing altered states as the hidden thread in the story of sensation and Western cultural consciousness.

Table of Contents:

1	The mysteries of intoxication	1
2	Drink poetry; or, the art of feeling very, very good	13
3	Double Dionysus : ambiguities in the discourse of intoxication	37

If Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw cooked, and wrote a cookbook, this might be it. It's a sassy collection of recipes and menus for the occasions and stages of relationships (from flings to marriage), with dating advice, sex sidebars and a dash of etiquette-a primer on "caviar for newbies"; a key to the pronunciation of wines and international foods; suggestions for successful key exchange-thrown in for good measure. Malouf, co-host of Hot off the Grill with Bobby Flay and host of the WE network's Full Frontal Fashion, offers stories from her own dating life along with simple-chic recipes such as Funky Mimosas for the morning-after breakfast; Pan-Roasted Chicken with Rosemary-Lemon Butter, Blue Cheese Arugula Salad with Honeyed Walnuts, and Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic Vinaigrette for the first home-cooked meal; and Chicken Ramani, Cucumber Raita, and Minty Cuban Mojitos for keeping things "hot." Readers in any phase of a relationship-and especially readers in no relationship at all-will be entertained and informed by this volume and will enjoy its modern design and fun photographs by Ben Fink.

Fat Flush Cookbook

Author: Ann Louise Gittleman

COMPANION VOLUME TO THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER THE FAT FLUSH PLAN

The popular weight-loss program now has a companion cookbook

"(Ann Louise Gittleman's) rundown of the therapeutic and culinary benefits of her favorite 25 cooking herbs makes a perfect introduction to her popular nutritional philosophy."--Natural Health Magazine

The Fat Flush Cookbook contains more than 200 recipes using fat-flushing foods and featuring the thermogenic herbs and spices--including ginger, cayenne, mustard, anise, fennel, and cinnamon--introduced in the popular diet program The Fat Flush Plan. This indispensable cookbook can be used as either a standalone volume or a companion book.

This tasty, heart-smart volume includes:

• Time-saving, one-dish dinners
• Packable lunches
• Vegetarian-friendly ideas
• Recipes with delicious and unique fat burning herbs and spices
• An extended list of name brands suitable for Fat Flushing

In addition, The Fat Flush Cookbook shares new research explaining why certain Fat Flush staples speed up fat loss and provide profound detoxifying benefits while protecting overall health. Key ingredients such as lean proteins, phytonutrient-dense vegetables and fruits, psyllium, lemons, flaxseed and flaxseed oil, thermogenic herbs and spices, high-protein whey, stevia, cooking broths, and more are prominently featured in these delicious recipes. Cranberries, for example, which are now ranked among the best health foods we can consume, are an essential component to the success of Fat Flushers everywhere, and The Fat Flush Cookbook provides creative ways toenjoy this delicacy--along with tips on simple ways to sneak all these staples into existing favorites without making any major adjustments.

With delicious recipes, Fat Flushing information, and meal choices to suit every lifestyle, The Fat Flush Cookbook is perfect for the millions of Fat Flushers around the country.

Publishers Weekly

A nutritionist and the author of 20 books on health and healing, Gittleman here offers a companion cookbook to her best-selling The Fat Flush Plan. The three-phase plan calls for a strict avoidance of white rice, white flour, salt and sugar (Gittleman prefers Stevia Plus when she simply can't avoid sweetness) and the embrace of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The 200-plus recipes include dishes for each of the plan's phases (which will mean nothing to readers who don't own the original volume), from breakfasts to snacks to desserts. While the fat flush philosophy seems commonsensical, the plan itself is rigid, if not downright draconian, and the puritanical zeal with which Gittleman expounds upon fat-flushing may begin to grate on any but the truest converts. Half a grapefruit, broiled with 1 teaspoon of honey, is a "special occasions" snack, flaxseeds are everywhere and Fragrant Fat Flush Meatballs use cauliflower in place of breadcrumbs: for a foodie, this is some dispiriting stuff. Nevertheless, while the utter lack of salt does her recipes some disservice (in Phase 3 recipes, there is occasional permission for "salt to taste"), Gittleman's reliance on fresh herbs, which she cites for various healing powers, wholesome ingredients and easy cooking techniques makes her cookbook worth a look for those serious about making big diet changes.

Certified HACCP Auditor Handbook

Author: John G Surak

HACCP has evolved over the years, and so has ASQ. As a result of this evolution, the ASQ Certified HACCP Auditor examination has also evolved. It first started as an add-on certification to the Certified Quality Auditor; then in 2004, the ASQ Certification Board approved it as a stand-alone certification. Along with this change, the Body of Knowledge was updated to include the principles of management systems auditing and the analytical tools of quality assurance.

As a result, this new handbook was developed to assist the certification candidate to prepare for the CHA examination. This volume incorporates most of the resource material that was first published in the book The Quality Auditor's HACCP Handbook, and includes brand new chapters covering the HACCP audit, the HACCP auditor, and quality assurance analytical tools. In addition, new appendices describe ISO 22000:2005, Food safety management systems - Requirements for any organization in the food chain, and also validation of HACCP systems.

The Devil's Picnic: Around the World in Pursuit of Forbidden Fruit

Author: Taras Gresco

Taras Grescoe embarks on a journey into the forbidden as he searches for the world’s taboo indulgences.

The New York Times - Neil Genzlinger

The high point, though, is his chapter on a trip to Madrid in search of bull's testicles, a foray that gives him an excuse to take note of an array of other revolting delicacies - maggot-covered cheese and rotten herring, for instance.

Publishers Weekly

This detailed chef's tour of prohibited pleasures for the palate, from Norwegian moonshine and Bolivian coca leaves to Spanish bull testicles, is laced with magnificent descriptions-some mouthwatering, others quite repulsive. Grescoe (Sacre Blues: An Unsentimental Journey Through Quebec) uses food as a pretext to lead readers on a heady quest to corroborate the libertarian principle of free will. Through his well-researched history lessons, readers learn of the birth and evolution of nine different foodstuffs, and the politics behind their prohibition. Grescoe paints colorful portraits of contemporary cultures by walking the land, sampling the fare and providing firsthand interviews with various food experts: aficionados, suppliers and officials charged with enforcing interdiction. His narrative makes a convincing case that most restrictions are based on unwarranted or outdated health concerns, or political agendas that profit the government (up to 86% of the price of liquor in Norway can go to taxes!). And while he successfully illustrates the arguments used by supporters of legalization, he surprises himself by conceding that certain governmental intervention can indeed be a necessary evil (e.g., protection of endangered animals). With amusing anecdotes and exotic imagery, this walk through the garden of "forbidden fruit" is a savory and powerful scrutiny into the psychology, markets and politics of prohibition.

Library Journal

Not many tourist companies offer the kind of pleasures sought by the author in this provocative and highly entertaining travelog. As the title suggests, Grescoe (Sacre Blues) went looking for attractions not found in Birnbaum's or Fodor's-but it wasn't always easy to get the "locals" to trust him enough to pull back the veil of respectable tourism. Fortunately, the Montreal native knew how to insinuate himself into the youth crowd and get them to cough up their secrets. Speaking of coughing, his first task was to track down the illegal Norwegian moonshine whose name sounds like a diseased cat hacking up a fur ball: rotgut. Then it was off to Singapore-where chewing gum is illegal unless you have a medical need for it-to seek poppy-seed biscuits. Elsewhere, it was a search for Cohiba Esplendido (Cuban) cigars in San Francisco, absinthe in Europe, and stinky cheeses in France-a true menu of forbidden delights. Along the way, Grescoe comments on the societies that implement these restrictions and the inhabitants who blithely ignore them. This delightfully rebellious book will find a ready audience among travelers who wish to stray off the beaten path; for public libraries.-Joseph L.
