The Best of Gourmet: Featuring the Flavors of Rome




The Best of Gourmet: Featuring the Flavors of Rome Feature



The Best of Gourmet: Featuring the Flavors of Rome Overview


Nowadays, everyone who entertains is looking for outstanding casual fare that will allow them to spend more time with their guests. Dishes must be quick and easy to prepare (or able to be made ahead) and filled with the purest ingredients for optimum flavor. bThe Best of Gourmet, Featuring the Flavors of Thailand/b is filled with twenty-eight such menus-most are very relaxed, all are absolutely delicious.brbrFor example, after a chilly day on the slopes, you may want to treat your houseguests to A Ski House Dinner. Begin the evening around the fire with champagne and a large platter of ever-so-tender smoked salmon with cilantro cream. Later, roasted veal chops with shallots, tomatoes, and olive jus nestled on pillows of soft polenta make a rich, indulgent entrée. And before everyone retires, a heavenly warm chocolate raspberry pudding cake, made the day before and reheated, is served with a glass of cognac. brbrWhen the summer heats up, why not spend A Weekend at the Shore with friends? You'll have three clever menus in hand that take advantage of the season's abundant fresh produce, include plenty of make-ahead dishes, and satisfy hearty seaside appetites. On Saturday morning you can serve Breakfast on the Beach with buttery-rich baked blueberry-pecan French toast. Lunch Indoors includes a serve-yourself composed salad of classic favorites and a lovely rhubarb rice pudding. Then, after a long day in the sun, Dinner on the Deck promises a seafood meal to remember with curry-marinated mussels, followed by grilled lobster with Southeast Asian dipping sauce. brbrOr perhaps a last-minute Beyond Backyard Basics dinner is closer to what you had in mind? This little gem of a menu features ratatouille with penne-a heavenly jumble of roasted eggplants, onions, yellow squash, and red bell peppers, with plum tomatoes, garlic, thyme, parsley, and basil. For dessert, multicolored grapes perched atop pastry cream in puff pastry shells make a scrumptious and ever-so-pretty choice.brbrSo which menu will you try first? You'll find more than eighty pages of exquisite full-color photographs to help you decide. Altogether, this volume holds more than 350 recipes-including the very best recipes that appeared in Gourmet's food columns during 1999. There are hundreds of dishes that can be made in forty-five minutes or less (look for the clock symbol eth;); plenty of leaner and lighter selections (look for the feather symbol F); seasonal ideas for everything from apples to zucchini; and an impressive array of tempting sweets and snacks.brbrThis year's Cuisines of the World section turns to the intriguing flavors of Thailand with a traditional dinner for eight and a collection of Thai snacks. Dishes such as steamed red snapper with ginger, grilled beef salad, fish cakes, and coconut ice cream demonstrate the sweet, sour, hot, and salty tastes of this fascinating country. Informative primers and exquisite full-color photos add further insight.brbrTwenty-four more brand-new recipes appear in a special section featuring Unusual Pastas and Grains. From fresh rice noodles to Israeli couscous to wheat berries, and much more, these unique pantry items will undoubtedly expand your palette of flavors.brbrJust when you thought you had tasted it all, along comes a cookbook that opens up a world of new possibilities-bThe Best of Gourmet/b

Cooking in the Nude: Red Hot Lovers Overview


ICooking in the Nude: Red Hot Lovers/I comes with a warning on the back cover: "We advise you to familiarize yourself with all the 'Vices and Spices' before you tempt your lover with a 'Sultry Starter'!

IRed Hot Lovers/I, one in a series of Cooking in the Nude cookbooks, is both fun to read and to cook from, but beware--some of these recipes could result in a romance that's too haute to handle!

The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet



This is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. I bought it after moving out on my own and realizing I needed to learn how to cook something more than pre-made sauces and hamburger helper. It is still one of the most used cookbooks on my shelf, and I own over thirty cookbooks. I needed to buy a new copy because the one I have is slowly falling apart from constant use. So my thanks go out to the publisher for releasing this wonderful treasure. The best feature of this book is that each entre comes with a suggested side dish. This is helpful to beginners who aren't sure yet what goes with what. It takes some of the pressure off of needing to figure everything out all at once. The other wonderful thing about this book is that the recipes result in meals that are a pleasure even to the most advanced gourmets. I recommend this book to anyone interested in cooking great meals at home for themselves as well as for thier friends and family.

The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet Feature



The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet Overview


bA Master Chef's Signature Book/bbrAvailable in paperback for the first time in a decade, bThe New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet/b is the bestselling cookbook that catapulted Pierre Franey into the front ranks of American chefs. After a successful career as a restaurant chef, Franey became a food writer for iThe New York Times/i in 1975, accepting the challenge to write a regular column featuring recipes that would take less than an hour to prepare. Through his column and the cookbooks that soon followed, Franey created a national sensation with his revolutionary style of cooking, and American kitchens haven't been the same since. The presentation of quick, healthy, and enjoyable meals was a revelation, introducing the home cook to choices beyond spending hours in the kitchen or settling for "fast food." This cookbook -- the first that collected his New York Times recipes -- captures all that was great about Pierre Franey's cooking: fresh, flavorful, low-fat ingredients, ease of preparation, and the injunction "Don't spend all evening in the kitchen!" As a step-by-step guide to better cooking and delicious eating, this great cookbook allows all cooks to employ Pierre Franey's signature methods and create memorable meals in their own homes.br

Kay Ewing's Cooking School Cookbook



I have both of Kay Ewing's cookbooks. I use them on a very regular basis. My entire family loves to eat these recipes. I can disguise eggplant and zucchini in the sauce of the Chicken Melanzana recipe. I can quickly prepare a dish from the Young Everyday Gourmet section or the Quick and Easy section. I can't list all of my favorite recipes because it would take way too long. If you could see the splatters on my pages you would understand how often this book is used in my kitchen. I cook a meal every night for our family dinners. With three young children it is nice to know that I can do a sensational meal without spending the whole day preparing in the kitchen. The book is set up perfectly by themes (from her cooking classes) and menus within each theme. If I'm entertaining I would do an entire menu, but for a weeknight meal maybe just the entree and a salad. I have hundreds of cookbooks and this is my favorite (her second cookbook is neck in neck with this one). I have always wowed our company and everyone thinks I am a gourmet cook. It is all thanks to Kay!

Creole cooking it is true, is an art, and as such is mysterious in its origins and inspiritations. But its technique can be acquired. Prime rule, each dish must be a harmony, its central feature predominant but subdued by the effect of its accompanying ingredients, so that not it, nor any one of them is perceptible for itself - a blend of unity. Try it out, you can do it, too!

The Amateur Gourmet



When I spotted the title of this book sitting on a shelf in a discount store, I was immediately drawn in. This is "just what I need." You see, I'm an "amateur gourmet." In my heart, I have visions of cooking 5 course meals for my family. But in reality, I burn things and set off the smoke detector regularly. So, Adam's book brought nurturing to my heart as I realized that someone else felt like me...someone who understand the feeling of failure and unnerving humility in the kitchen faced with common foods and common utensils. I recommend this book for anyone getting started in the kitchen and feeling intimidated by mistakes and even burned foods! It gave me hope!

Healthy Heart One-Dish Meals (Today's Gourmet)



I work long hours and get home too late to eat a late dinner and maintain fitness....so I make one of this book's recipes on the weekend, take it to work, and have a nutritious tasty honest-to-goodness meal instead of fast food. Great! And one of the things I like the most is the opportunity the recipes give you to improvise and it offers substitution selections for those on very strict diets. This allows the use of items more popular in different seasons and changing moods of taste. Most meals actually do contain veggies, a main course, and long grain rice or couscous....all in one. The preparation is simple and the ingredients easy to find in any grocery store. I just don't have the time to get into "gourmet" details.

The Taste of America (The Food Series)



What a delight to find this amazing classic back in print, in a reprintbredition with new comments by the authors. This will spare thousandsbrof food enthusiasts the perennial burden of scouring the used-bookbrmarket for copies of it. (I ordered several copies of the reprint at oncebrfor gifts and to have on hand.) People who were following food brwriting at the time will recall the stir created by the Hesses' book whenbrit first appeared in the late 1970s. The book is iconoclastic, even psubversive, in the same sense as Prometheus's gift of fire to mankind.pIn this case the gift is not fire but perspective, or a sense of history.brCo-author John Hess was himself a senior and very experienced brfood writer and editor, but he has a scholar's dislike of pretentiousbrmisinformation being quoted around until it becomes conventionalbrwisdom. Karen Hess is a food historian noted elsewhere for herbrwork on the mysterious "Martha Washington" cookbook.brTheir book addresses questions like: How did things like icebergbrlettuce and phony "gourmet" products displace centuries of finebrimmigrant and indigenous cooking wisdom in the US? Who helpedbrto "sell" such changes, only to be celebrated later (Orwellian-style)brfor contributions to US cooking? Moreover, it is remarkable to seebrhow many "innovations" in US cooking since about the time this bookbrwas written consist actually of rediscovery of principles widely knownbr100 or 200 years ago, as the book documents in detail.pThe casual reader should be forgiven for not having heard of all brof this in the general media. Journalism in the US about food (and notbronly about food) is lately graced with legions of people blissfullybrand confidently unconscious of anything that preceded their own words.brSuch people will gush uncritically about food pundits like CraigbrClaiborne (distinguished on the basis that the gushing writersbrhave heard of them) without any real research or perspective.pThese writers would not do so if they read the Hesses' book.pFrom the Hesses', and other, evidence it seems that around thebr1950s, "gourmet" became a convenience-food-industry euphemism forbr"sucker" in the US. "That flabby midget called Cornish game hen was,brnext to chocolate-covered ants, the gourmet racket's funniest joke on abrgullible public. It has no more taste of game than a wad of cotton," saybrthe Hesses. Such game hens are one of several gimmicks CraigbrClaiborne is quoted pushing; canned beef gravy and instant whippedbrpotatoes are others. Claiborne receives especial attention here,brthough James Beard, the Rombauers, Fannie Farmer, even JC Herself,brare not spared. Yet this criticism is constructive, at least for the reader,brwith positive counterexamples. pIt is an angry, or perhaps indignant, book but an informed one, brmeticulous in its documentation of sources. The bibliography by itself isbrvaluable, sort of an annotated miniature of Katherine Bitting's epic 1939br"Gastronomic Bibliography" (also cited; that book is very expensivebron the used market; I know because I own one; even its 1980s reprint isbrexpensive and I am told, unlike the original, is printed on acid paper).

The Taste of America (The Food Series) Feature



The Taste of America (The Food Series) Overview


'This classic barbecue of our food ways is as valid and as savory today as when it first tickled ribs a generation ago. Based on the superlative authority of John L. Hess, onetime food critic of the "New York Times", and Karen Hess, the pioneering historian of cookery, "The Taste of America" is both a history of American cooking and a history of the advice smiling celebrity cooks have asked Americans to swallow'.'"The Taste of America" provoked the cooking experts of the 1970s into spitting rage by pointing out in embarrassing detail that most of them lacked an essential ingredient: expertise. Now 'Kool-Aid like Mother used to make' has become 'Kool-Aid like Grandmother used to make', and a new generation has been weaned on synthetic food, pathetic snobbery, neurotic health advice, and reconstituted history. This much-needed new edition chars Julia Child ('She's not a cook, but she plays one on TV'), chides food maven Ruth Reichl, and marvels at a convention of food technologists (whose program bore the slogan 'Eat your heart out, Mother Nature'). Delectable reading for consumers, reformers, and scholars, this twenty-fifth anniversary reissue of "The Taste of America" will serve well into the new millennium'.

Flavor



This cookbook is so interesting because it's very creative and it lets you in on the process. Rocco's cooking theory here is "sweet, salty, bitter, sour" and he labels each ingredient in the recipes with a colored dot so you can see how he is using one (or more) of each per recipe. Then in the back of the book, he has a couple pages listing food items that qualify in each category, so you can think up your own mix of ingredients. The book also has helpful items like mini photos of the more unusual foodie items that my be hard to find, plus a couple pages with ideas of where to buy them (online gourmet shops). I love the cookbook because it has soooo many photos! Each dish has a huge, full-page, color photo of it. There are also tons of black-and-white photos of Rocco and his chefs cooking in a restaurant kitchen (this book is a few years old and he was at Union Pacific then, I think). For the other reviewers commenting on the photos, some are done in an artsy style where the photo is blurred to show movement. Each recipe also has a paragraph or 2 preceding it where Rocco tells a story about the dish. So it's not your typical cookbook with just a bunch of typed-out recipes! There are a few super-easy recipes that I can definitely make: Nutella sandwich with broiled bananas, cauliflower soup, radish and cranberry salad. The book has a mix of super-easy, medium-easy and hard recipes with some super-hard recipes in a separate section in the last chapter. It's fun to see photos and descriptions of some of Rocco's "famous" dishes even though they would be too hard for me to make, like uni sea urchin (yikes! where would you find this?) with raw scallops and tomato water (made by hand) and mustard seed oil (made by hand).
