X Rated Wines or At Home with Amy Wilcock

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.

A Place to Stand: Politics and Persuasion in a Working-Class Bar

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.

The Oxford Book of Health Foods

Author: J G Vaughan

"The Oxford Book of Health Foods begins with an account of modern concepts of human nutrition, followed by a series of over one hundred accounts of individual health foods and dietary supplements. In all cases the importance of these products in human health is explained, and, for herbal medicines, the evidence for their claimed therapeutic value is given, and toxic effects are described. Full-colour illustrations accompany these accounts." This illustrated book will be of interest not just to health professionals, but to all people with an interest in health foods and healthy eating. The text is supplemented by a glossary, explaining the more technical terms, and a bibliography listing sources for further reading.

Library Journal

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.

This is the first book of its kind in English to explore the fascinating culinary history of medieval Poland. It represents the fruits of a twenty-year collaboration between two distinguished food historians, William Woys Weaver and the late Maria Dembinska.

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.
