Singing for Your Supper or The Kitchen Gardens at Heligan

Singing for Your Supper: Entertaining Ways to Be a Perfect Guest

Author: Edith Hazard

In this witty and practical successor to RISING TO THE OCCASION, Edith Hazard offers the answer to awkward gatherings--twenty-six games, gimmicks, performance pieces, and projects, that you can bring to dinner parties, cocktails, family outings, and weekends in the country or at the beach. SINGING FOR YOUR SUPPER is illustrated with drawings and diagrams, but it's more than just how-to instructions. This is a philosophy--a way of looking at your role and responsibility when you're invited out. A perfect guest, Hazard suggests, knows when and how to help the host keep things moving. It means giving something of yourself, something that contributes to the success of the event.

Publishers Weekly

With 6500 entries, Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia, edited by Dave Smith, chief archivist for 25 years at the Walt Disney Archives, it hardly seems possible that anything has been left out. Each of the 128 Donald Duck cartoons is described; the voices of the cartoon characters are identified; the tale of how Mortimer came to be called Mickey is related; and a selected bibliography is included, going back to 1942 books. There are b&w photos throughout, plus an eight-page color insert. (Hyperion, $29.95 576p ISBN 0-7868-6223-8)

BookList

Before television, everyone was forced to bring some sort of amusement or entertainment to a dinner or party. Now etiquette master Hazard revives the almost lost art of guesthood by describing and explaining the how-tos of parlor games and outdoor antics. The 26 forms of amusing others en masse are woven into a gracious, never-ending narrative that paints rather vivid pictures. Think reading a palm is the province only of gypsies? Is juggling restricted to urban street-corner mendicants? Or is the art of hanging a spoon best learned by the under-10 set? Wise and witty ways to enliven a party and indulge the child in all of us.

Seeds of Wealth or Tomato in America

Seeds of Wealth: Four Plants That Made Men Rich

Author: Henry Hobhous

Seeds of Wealth is a collection of four elegant essays focusing on the economic and cultural consequences of the exploitation of timber, tobacco, rubber, and the wine grape. These cash crops have had, for the past three centuries, a profound effect on our world. In this intriguing account, Hobhouse illustrates how timber deficiency sparked an industrial revolution, tobacco lead to a wealthy and young nation, the rubber tree created nations, and wine provided the head, heart, and pocketbook with wealth.

This book offers proof of how the seemingly irrelevant can have widespread unintended consequences. In presenting global history from his own perspective, Henry Hobhouse offers an overview of how nature has unwittingly contributed to the creation of human wealth and economic growth.

Nola Theiss - KLIATT

Five agricultural products?—?timber, wine grapes, rubber, and tobacco, along with coffee (added to this newest edition)?—?have had an enormous impact on the history of the world. Two (timber and tobacco) reflected the changing fortunes of Britain and the United States. Timber and its rampant use for construction and fuel probably added significantly to global warming. Rubber and winemaking were influential in other areas of the world, like Singapore and Ancient Rome, and coffee brings the Arab world into the picture, but all these products have had significant impact on the United States. The author notes that one thing they have in common, beyond the fact that each stimulated or was crucial in wars, was that they have been a boon for "tax gatherers." Hobhouse has also written a related book, Seeds of Change and, although a journalist by trade, he has become an authority on the impact of plants on the history of the world. Because this book is written in an extremely readable style, it would be a good addition to any school library. Students will use it as a reference in history, political science, economics and science classes. KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2003, Shoemaker & Hoard, 313p. notes. bibliog. index., Ages 12 to adult.

Tomato in America: Early History, Culture, and Cookery

Author: Andrew F Smith

From the Americas to Australasia, from northern Europe to southern Africa, the tomato tickles the world's taste buds. Americans alone devour more than twelve million tons annually of this peculiar fruit, which has variously been considered poisonous, cutative, and aphrodisiacal.

In this first concerted study of the tomato in America, Andrew F. Smith separates myth from historical fact, beginning with the Salem, New Jersey, man who, in 1820, allegedly attracted spectators from hundreds of miles to watch him eat a tomato on the courthouse steps (the legend says they expected to see him die a painful death). Later, hucksters such as Dr. John Cook Bennett and the Amazing Archibald Miles peddled the tomato's purported medicinal benefits. The competition was so fierce that the Tomato Pill War broke out in 1838.

The Tomato in America traces the early cultivation of the tomato, its infiltration of American cooking practices, the early manufacture of preserved tomatoes and ketchup (soon hailed as "the national condiment of the United States"), and the "great tomato mania" of the 1820s and 1830s. The book also includes tomato recipes from the pre-Civil War period, covering everything from sauces, soups, and main dishes to desserts and sweets.

Now available for the first time in paperback, The Tomato in America provides a piquant and entertaining look at a versatile and storied figure in culinary history.

Library Journal

Did you think that tomatoes were not in this country before the 1880s? And did you think that this was because they were considered to be poisonous or aphrodisiacal? Since 1987, writer and lecturer Smith has been researching references to tomatoes. After examining 50,000 sources, which he says does not by any means exhaust the material, Smith traces the history of this most popular fruit/vegetable-one that is now grown by more home gardeners in this country than any other food. The evidence he presents, drawn from newspapers, letters, diaries, and cookbooks, refutes the popular myths and supports his thesis that the tomato was cultivated for culinary and medicinal uses from early Colonial times and was introduced to the American colonies on numerous separate occasions. Smith also includes a selection of recipes from early cookbooks and magazines. Chapters are supported by extensive references. The book concludes with a classified bibliography and a list of heirloom seed sources and tomato organizations. While lacking the narrative appeal and readability of other books about individual plants, this is a thorough and useful reference, making available masses of material not otherwise available.

Dinnertime: Your 30 Minute Meals Organized

Author: Elizabeth Lundquist


Does the daily question 'What's for dinner' send you into a mind-freezing panic attack? Do you simply not have the time or energy to think of something interesting for dinner every night? Who has the time to plan and shop for a healthy, delicious meal every night, let alone cook it?

That problem is now solved for you. Inside are recipes for a month of dinners along with detailed shopping lists, time-saving food preparation lists, and instructions on how to safely and quickly slice and dice. Each week has been carefully laid out: all the ingredients needed for the recipes have been measured and accounted for, and the shopping lists and prep-list guidelines take all the guesswork out of meal planning.

This book looks beyond the idea of a freezer full of casseroles or leftovers that look exactly like last night's dinner. Instead, the focus is on getting the preparation done in advance so you can easily cook a great dinner quickly-- every night.

Passion for Vegetables: Simple and Inspired Vegetarian Recipes from Around the Globe

Author: Paul Gayler

A Passion for Vegetables is a feast of innovative and sensational recipes from one of the world's most brilliant chefs. Acclaimed for his creative cuisine, Paul Gayler celebrates the versatility, color, texture, and taste of vegetables in this modern collection. Imaginatively deploying more than sixty different vegetables from across the globe (from Swiss chard to choi sum, Jerusalem artichokes to kohlrabi), he covers every single course, including appetizers and side dishes, including unusual jams, and even some vegetable-inspired desserts. The intricacies of vegetable selecting, storage, preparation, and nutritional value are also discussed in detail, and presented alongside original inventive recipes and dazzling full-color photographs, making A Passion for Vegetables both a stunning visual treat and an undeniable taste sensation. An informative glossary of terms and thorough index is also included to aid the reader.

Publishers Weekly

Suffused with inspiring ideas and a sense of genuine curiosity, Gayler's book is a paean to fine dining and the simple pleasures the earth can provide. Gayler often achieves eye-popping results with just a handful of ingredients in innovative marriages, as in Iced Cucumber and Almond Soup, Pan-Fried Asparagus and New-Season Morels, and Fava Beans and Salsify with Garlic Cream. London chef Gayler (A Passion for Cheese) uses a single condiment for balance, resulting in simple, powerful gestures: Balsamic Glazed Red Chicory, Saffron-braised Potatoes with Paprika, Lemongrass-Glazed Carrots and Pink Radishes. An impressive compendium of the world's sauces, from chermoula and tarator to tzatziki and sambal is prominently on display throughout the book. And lest anyone doubt that vegetables can find their way to the dessert tray, Gayler deftly pairs the sweeter ones with fruit (Swiss Chard and Pear Tart, Butternut Squash and Orange Sorbet). Essays on the vegetable families are interspersed throughout the book; categorized as "roots and tubers," "thistles and shoots," "pods and seeds," they show a refreshing awareness of where vegetables come from and how they are grown. This unpretentious book treats vegetables with clarity, elegance and respect. (June) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Shirley Reis - KLIATT

Vegetables need not be restricted to the category of "side dishes," as this inspirational cookbook documents. Recipes are included for all aspects of dining on vegetables from appetizer to dessert.

X Rated Wines: The Wine-X Magazine Guide to Wine

Author: Darryl Roberts

Are you tired of wine reviews with flowery descriptions that read like grocery lists? Yeah, well, so are the authors of X Rated Wines, the ultimate source for everyone who likes wine but can't get into pedantic wine critics and stuffy wine books and magazines — in other words, for real people. Features include:

* More than 1,500 wines reviewed, each having received one of the magazine's trademark rankings, from X (Gets It Done) to XXX (Gotta Have It).

* Reviews divided into "Over $15" and "Under $15" categories so it's easy to buy wine within your budget.

* Background information so you can learn a thing or two about what you're drinking.

* Amusing sidebars like the "Top Ten Fast Food and Wine Suggestions" and "Music and Wine Pairings."

The reviews in X Rated Wines are both irreverent and insightful. Consider this critique of a Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon: "A deep French kiss in a phone booth — nice depth, great mouth feel, a little woody, a bit tight." Or this Australian shiraz: "Like a Grant Hill slam dunk — bold, spicy and in your face!" Whether you're pondering what to purchase at your local spirits shop or which bottle to order with dinner, X Rated Wines will open your mind to a new way of thinking about wine.

Author: Julie Lindquist

Linguists have become increasingly interested in examining how class culture is socially constructed and maintained through spoken language. Julie Lindquist's examination of the linguistic ethnography of a working-class bar in Chicago is an important and original contribution to the field. She examines how regular patrons argue about political issues in order to create a group identity centered around political ideology. She also shows how their political arguments are actually a rhetorical genre, one which creates a delicate balance between group solidarity and individual identity, as well as a tenuous and ambivalent sense of class identity.

A cross between a coffee-table book and a serious work on nutrition, this work provides scientific information on herbs, dietary supplements, vitamins, nuts, cereals, and other foods "commonly found in health food stores." After an introduction summarizing current nutritional principles, entries on individual products include the substance's origin, a description of it, claims and folklore about each plant or food, and a review of the scientific evidence for the claims. No references are given after the individual entries, although an annotated bibliography lists general sources. The best feature of this book is that it is beautifully illustrated with botanical drawings and colorful photographs. Although academic libraries will need books that give more detailed information on supplements and herbs, this work is recommended for public libraries.-Natalie Kupferberg, Biological Sciences/Pharmacy Lib., Columbus, OH Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Southern Heirloom Cooking or Whisky

Southern Heirloom Cooking

Author: Norma Jean Haydel

Everyone who knows Norma Jean McQueen Haydel knows that she's a supreme cook, that she's the steward of the McQueen family recipes. But she didn't measure when she cooked. Or write things down.Norma Jean's brother Horace got to worrying about this. He cooks, too, but his repertoire isn't as vast as Norma Jean's. So he began bothering her about writing down how she makes her many dishes. "I didn't want Norma Jean's recipes, or our Mama's recipes, to be lost. We have kids coming. And other folks love to eat at my sister's table, too." So the two got busy recording their treasured family recipes from the South. This collection of more than 250 dishes are their best ones. "This is food you will absolutely enjoy," says Horace. "Traditional, full of marvelous flavor, 'enhanced' old-timeys!"

Norma Jean and Horace have put together the full line-up: Crawfish Bisque, Poblano Cream Soup, Wilted Spinach Salad, Smothered Pork Ribs, Zesty Broasted Chicken, Baked Catfish, Cajun Rice Jambalaya, Stuffed Cornbread, Five-Flavor Pound Cake, Margarita Pie, and on and on. "This is food to pass on to your loved ones!" says Horace. "You'll want to try it—again and again!"

Solo Verdura: The Complete Guide to Cooking Tuscan Vegetables

Author: Anne Bianchi

Abbondariza! Tender artichokes, curly endive, plump eggplants, fragrant fennel -- these are a mere sampling of the treasures found in the fields of Tuscany, where vegetables are not just a side dish. Here Italian heritage expert Anne Bianchi shares the secretsold and new-of how vegetables are prepared in this exquisite region. As Italian chefs continually explore new ways to enjoy their country's harvest, Solo Verdura reflects the latest in today's Tuscan cooking.

Appreciated for their infinite variety., seasonal goodness, and incredible flexibility, vegetables are especially dear to the Tuscan palate. Anne Bianchicaptures the Italian passion for good food with contemporary recipes and engaging vignettes about the countrv and its people. Beginning with "Essentials," Solo Verdura includes helpful tips on how to buy, store, and clean various vegetables, from the ever-popular porcini mushroom to the relatively unknown salsify, cardoon, and celeriac. Once you know how to choose the best, Bianchi offers a variety of preparation techniques: braising, sauté steaming, frying, and stewing; roasting, boiling, baking, and grilling. She follows with eight chapters full of recipes for Tuscany's harvest: Leaves and Stalks; The Cabbage Family; Roots, Tubers, and Bulbs; Pods and Seeds, Vegetable Fruits; Mushrooms and Truffles; Vegetable Medleys; and finally, Broths, Sauces, Pestos, Oils, and Dough. In typical Tuscan fashion, these accessible recipes respect the natural flavors of vegetables without masking them in overpowering sauces. Melanzana Ripiena (Eggplant Boats Stuffed with Gorgonzola Polenta), Ravioli di Broccoli Proftanati con Limoncino e Scalogne (Broccoli Ravioli Perfumedwith Shallots and Lemon Balm), and Crostata di Scarola, Cicoria e Acetosa (Bitter Greens Tart) are just a few of the dishes that will show you how to cook and savor vegetables Italian-style. Illustrated with over fifty black-and-white photographs, Solo Verdura brings a little bit of Tuscany into your home.

Publishers Weekly

With this standout collectionquickly following Zuppa! and From the Tables of Tuscan WomenBianchi establishes herself as an authority on how Italians eat today, which is, of course, an extension of a centuries-old culinary tradition. Polished, delicately ironic and generous-spirited essays on such topics as a trip to a Pisa cemetery to put flowers on her father's marble tomb illustrate the Italian reverence for the old ways. Bianchi's incisive, intelligent prose is matched by the excellence of her recipes, which are loosely divided by type of vegetable in such chapters as "Pods & Seeds," "Leaves & Stalks" and "Vegetable Medleys." Each includes a list of the vegetables in the category, their seasons, buying tips and general preparation. Recipes such as Bitter Greens Tart and Beer-Braised Artichokes are equally complete, including preparation times, levels of difficulty, suggested variations; Bianchi also indicates which elements of the recipe can be made in advance. Several pasta recipes are highly unusual: Broccoli Ravioli Perfumed with Shallots and Lemon Balm; Horseradish Gnocchetti in Broth; and Chick Pea Pasta with Parsley Pesto. Just one small quibble: Bianchi identifies her style of cooking throughout as "Tuscan," but, like Calzonetti Stuffed with Red Cabbage and Chevre or Sauted Asparagus with Parmesan Sauce Wrapped in Potato Wafers, most of these are nuova cucina dishes that could appear anywhere in Italy.

Market Day in Provence or Louisiana Cookery

Market Day in Provence

Author: Michele De La Pradell

At farmers’ markets, we expect to see fruit bursting with juicy sweetness and vegetables greener than a golf course. For Michèle de La Pradelle these expectations are mostly the result of a show performed by merchants and sustained by our propensity to see what we want to see there. Hailed upon its release in France, the award-winning Market Day in Provence lays bare the mechanisms of the contemporary outdoor market by providing a definitive account of the centuries-old institution at Carpentras, a city near Avignon in the south of France famous for its quintessential public street market.

The renewal and celebration of the outdoor market culture in recent years, argues de La Pradelle, artfully masks a fierce commitment to modern-day free-market economics. Responding to consumer desire for an experience that recalls a time before impersonal supermarket chains and mass-produced products, buyers and sellers alike create an atmosphere built on various fictions. Vendors at the market at Carpentras, for example, oblige patrons by acting like lifelong acquaintances of those whom they’ve only just met as they dispense free samples and lively, witty banter. Likewise, going to the market to look for “freshness” becomes a way for the consumer to signify the product’s relation to nature—a denial of the workaday reality of growing melons under plastic sheets, then machine-sorting, crating, and transporting them.
 
Offering captivating descriptions of goods and the friendly and occasionally piquant exchanges between buyers and sellers, Market Day in Provence will be devoured by any reader with an interest in areas as diverseas food, ethnography, globalization, modernity, and French culture.

    Recipes from the Old Mill: Baking with Whole Grains

    Author: Sarah E Myers

    Simple grains yield rich breads that range from the mystically light to the substantially chewy. These breads offer incontestable food value and flavor; they will satisfy and delight those sensitive to nutritional concerns.

    "This collection of 170-plus healthful recipes using a variety of whole grains is also a meditation on the staff of life, both organic and spiritual." -- Publishers Weekly

    Publishers Weekly

    The authors are sisters who grew up near their family's stream-powered grist mill in West Virginia. Their collection of 170-plus healthful recipes using a variety of whole grains is also a meditation on the staff of life, both organic and spiritual. Five chapters on kinds of grain (Corn, Wheat, Rye, Buckwheat and Multi-Grain) offer selections of grain-specific recipes (e.g., Corn Chips and Roberta's Sourdough Rye loaves). Five more chapters expand on categories like Main Dishes and Desserts. Straightforward tips included at the end of recipes (e.g., ways to shape rolls and buns) are reassuringly helpful and are listed in the table of contents for easy reference. The range of recipes, especially for those using whole wheat flour, is extensive: 100% Whole Wheat French Bread, Whole Wheat Brownie Pie, Whole Wheat Tortillas. Recipes for using doughnut holes to make muffins or for throwing stale bread and aging cheese into a bread souffle articulate the authors' principles of good stewardship of the earth's resources. Pen-and-ink drawings add to the charm of this book, which will appeal to novice and veteran bakers. The authors make no mention of bread machines. (Oct.)

    Library Journal

    The authors are sisters who grew up near an old grain mill, and Lind's husband is the miller there today. Both sisters have a background in home economics (Lind is a registered dietitian), and these are the recipes they have developed over the years. There are corn, wheat, rye, buckwheat, and multigrain breads, as well as some main dishes and desserts based on grains. Many old-fashioned breads are included, and the book has a nice, homey feel. A number of excellent books by artisan bakers have appeared in recent years, including Joe Ortiz's The Village Baker (LJ 12/92); with its sense of home and family, Recipes from the Old Mill has its own appeal.

How to Cure a Hangover

Author: Salvatore Calabres

Never suffer from a hangover again-wisdom from a celebrated bartender.

Salvatore Calabrese is one of the world's top bartenders-and, as such, he also uses his bar to create magic potions to revive his clientele. His range of restorative cocktails, with and without alcohol, are much tastier (and more effective) than the usual "hair of the dog"-try his Blood Transfusion, Corpse Reviver, or Tokyo Bloody Mary, all guaranteed to make the morning after more bearable. Drawing on 30 years of experience, he reveals the best drinks for avoiding hangovers (like vodka) and the worst (like Bourbon). He offers other proven remedies as well, such as herbal cures-and for those who have been seriously over-imbibing, there's a complete three-day detox program to cleanse the system.

Salvatore Calabrese's other books include Classic Drinks and Complete Home Bartender's Guide.

Hemp Cookbook or Totally Strawberries Cookbook

Hemp Cookbook: From Seed to Shining Seed

Author: Todd Dalotto

• The first cookbook devoted to the use of super-nutritious hemp seed.

• Contains more than 50 low-fat, high-fiber, vegetarian recipes for both hempsters and mainstream cooks.

• Nature's best source of protein and EFAs--better even than soy.

Born from the flower of the cannabis plant is a seed bursting with vital energy that nourishes, heals, rebuilds, and refuels our bodies. Now this hallowed plant gets to shine in the world's first cookbook devoted exclusively to the delicious and nutritious dishes you can make using hemp seed. Packed with easily digestible proteins that contain the correct proportions of all eight essential amino acids necessary for good health, hemp seed surpasses even soy as the best vegetable protein available. High in dietary fiber but low in saturated fat, this miraculous and ancient food is also the planet's best source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), which a wealth of scientific research has shown help to prevent degenerative diseases, clean the arteries, improve brain function, and boost our immune systems.

In The Hemp Cookbook, Todd Dalotto serves up a tantalizing smorgasbord of recipes that combine the unique nutritional advantages of hemp seed with other vitamin- and mineral-rich foods, creating one of the healthiest and most original cookbooks ever offered. From hearty breakfasts of Hemp Pancakes to gourmet dinners of Vegan Cannabis Stuffed Shells and holiday toasts with rich and creamy Hemp Nog, Dalotto has produced a book that will be welcomed by hempsters and mainstream cooks alike. With chapters providing complete nutritional information on hemp seed, a culinary history of cannabis around the world, a listingof sources for hemp foods, and instructions for creating your own hemp oils, flours, milks, and butters, The Hemp Cookbook is the first and last word on cannabis cuisine.
