 | Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier
Brand: Broadway
From âone of the wine worldâs most popular voicesâ (<i>USA</i> <i>Today</i>), a newly updated edition of her by-now classic introduction to wine, <i>GREAT WINE MADE SIMPLE: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier</i>, reflects up-to-the minute wine trends, including the burgeoning popularity of the Shiraz grape, new flavor maps, and much, much more.<b><br><br></b>First published in 2000, <i>Great Wine Made Simple</i> established Andrea Immer Robinson as Americaâs favorite wine writer. Avoiding the traditional and confusingly vague wine language of âbouquetâ and ânose,â and instead discussing wine in commonsense terms, the book launched Andreaâs career as a wine authority without pretense.<br><br>Now, thoroughly revised, <i>Great Wine Made Simple</i> lives up to its title by making selecting and enjoying wine truly simple. With Andrea Immer Robinson as your guide, you will never again have to fear pricey bottles that donât deliver, snobby wine waiters, foreign terminology, or encyclopedic restaurant wine lists. Youâll be able to buy or order wine with confidence--and get just the wine you want--by learning how the âBig Sixâ basic styles (which comprise 80 percent of todayâs top selling wines) taste and how to read any wine label. Ten new flavor maps show what tastes you can expect from climates around the world.<br><br>Andrea Immer Robinson genuinely knows more about wine than most wine lovers could ever hope to learn. But she doesnât believe that you have to join a stuffy, exclusive wine-tasting set, or study a lot, to become a savvy wine buyer. Unlike other wine guides, <i>Great Wine Made Simple</i> makes it easy to master the ins and outs of choosing a wine that you and your guests will loveâon any budget.<br><br>In her down-to-earth style, Andrea guides you through follow-along-at-home wine tastings that are easy, fun, and affordable, and even suggests a milk tasting for understanding variations in wine-body style. Building on this foundation, she covers the rest of the wine landscape with her inimitable style, candor, and humor, from classic regions to new tastes, plus a bevy of practical issues like wine gear and proper storage. A refreshing blend of in-depth knowledge and accessibility, <i>Great Wine Made Simple</i> is a welcome resource for those who are intrigued by wine but donât know where to start. | *$15.90 |
 | The Sweet Life in Paris: Delicious Adventures in the World's Most Glorious - and Perplexing - City
Brand: Broadway
<p>Like so many others, David Lebovitz dreamed about living in Paris ever since he first visited the city in the 1980s. Finally, after a nearly two-decade career as a pastry chef and cookbook author, he moved to Paris to start a new life. Having crammed all his worldly belongings into three suitcases, he arrived, hopes high, at his new apartment in the lively Bastille neighborhood. <br><br>But he soon discovered it's a different world <i>en France</i>.<br><br>From learning the ironclad rules of social conduct to the mysteries of men's footwear, from shopkeepers who work so hard not to sell you anything to the etiquette of working the right way around the cheese plate, here is David's story of how he came to fall in love withâand even understandâthis glorious, yet sometimes maddening, city.<br><br>When did he realize he had morphed into <i>un vrai parisien</i>? It might have been when he found himself considering a purchase of men's dress socks with cartoon characters on them. Or perhaps the time he went to a bank with 135 euros in hand to make a 134-euro payment, was told the bank had no change that day, and thought it was completely normal. Or when he found himself dressing up to take out the garbage because he had come to accept that in Paris appearances and image mean everything. <br><br>The more than fifty original recipes, for dishes both savory and sweet, such as Pork Loin with Brown SugarâBourbon Glaze, Braised Turkey in Beaujolais Nouveau with Prunes, Bacon and Bleu Cheese Cake, Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows, Chocolate Spice Bread, Lemon-Glazed Madeleines, and MochaâCrème Fraîche Cake, will have readers running to the kitchen once they stop laughing. <br><br><i>The Sweet Life in Paris</i> is a deliciously funny, offbeat, and irreverent look at the city of lights, cheese, chocolate, and other confections.</p> | *$14.45 |

Brand: Chelsea Green Publishing
For thousands of years humans have enjoyed the taste and nutrition of fermented foods and drinks. We rely on the transformative, almost magical power of fermentation to preserve and improve all sorts of food, making them tastier, more digestible, and more appealing. Author Sandor Katz takes readers on a whirlwind trip through the wild world of fermentation. The book is divided into chapters that focus on particular types of food and Katz provides readers with delicious recipes-âsome familiar, others exoticâ-that are easy to make at home, including vegetable krauts and kimchis; sourdough breads and pancakes; miso and tempeh; beers, wines, and meads; yogurt and cheeses. <P>The recipes provide a veritable smorgasbord of tastes, like homemade tempeh, sauerkraut, and borscht, along with a basic description of yogurt and cheese-making, complete with vegan alternatives. Whether you prefer to wash down your meal with Elderberry wine or Nepalese rice beer, there's something here to satisfy any palate. <P>Katz, a leading expert on the history of these foods, has written a revolutionary and informative culinary guide he calls "a cultural manifesto." He has experimented with many forms of fermentation and has developed and collected a wide range of techniques and recipes from around the world. | *$15.52 |
 | Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning: Traditional Techniques Using Salt, Oil, Sugar, Alcohol, Vinegar, Drying, Cold Storage, and Lactic Fermentation
Brand: Chelsea Green Publishing
Typical books about preserving garden produce nearly always assume that modern "kitchen gardeners" will boil or freeze their vegetables and fruits. Yet here is a book that goes back to the futureâcelebrating traditional but little-known French techniques for storing and preserving edibles in ways that maximize flavor and nutrition.<br /><br />Translated into English, and with a new foreword by Deborah Madison, this book deliberately ignores freezing and high-temperature canning in favor of methods that are superior because they are less costly and more energy-efficient.<br /><br />As Eliot Coleman says in his foreword to the first edition, "Food preservation techniques can be divided into two categories: the modern scientific methods that remove the life from food, and the natural 'poetic' methods that maintain or enhance the life in food. The poetic techniques produce... foods that have been celebrated for centuries and are considered gourmet delights today."<br /><br /><i>Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning</i> offers more than 250 easy and enjoyable recipes featuring locally grown and minimally refined ingredients. It is an essential guide for those who seek healthy food for a healthy world. | *$15.40 |

There he developed a deep understanding and respect for the styles, producers, animals, and techniques that go into making great cheese.</p>With a refreshingly unpretentious sensibility, Edgar intertwines his own life story with his ongoing love affair with cheese, and offers readers an unflinching, highly entertaining on-the-ground look at Americaââ¬â¢s growing cheese movement. From problem customers to animal rights, business ethics to taste epiphanies, this book offers something for everyone, including cheese profiles and recommendations for selecting the very best-not just the most expensive-cheeses from the United States and around the world and a look at the struggles dairy farmers face in their attempts to stay on and make their living from the land.</p>Edgar-a smart, progressive cheese man with an activistââ¬â¢s edge-enlightens and delights with his view of the world from behind the cheese counter and his appreciation for the skill and tradition that go into a good wedge of Morbier.</p><i>Cheesemonger</i> is the first book of its kind-a cheese memoir with attitude and information that will appeal to everyone from serious foodies to urban food activists.<br><br><br><br> | *$11.24 |

 | Moosewood Restaurant Low-Fat Favorites: Flavorful Recipes for Healthful Meals
Brand: Clarkson Potter
This is the low-fat book cooks who care about wholesome, vegetarian-inspired food have been waiting for. Each of the more than 280 recipes are as delicious and trustworthy as those in the Moosewood Collective's previous books, and vibrant flavors and generous portions are still a hallmark of every dish. Because the Collective's primary goal is always to make great tasting food they resisted the notion of doing a low-fat book until they were convinced they could make low-fat dishes as flavor-packed as their regular favorites. "We've mostly been interested in gourmet cuisine at Moosewood Restaurant, not deprivation diet food," say the authors. "So, it's a happy surprise that the dishes we created for this cookbook don't come off as merely healthful diet foods. The food is exciting, ethnically diverse, and satisfyingly delicious. <Strong>Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites</Strong> is as much a celebration of the pleasures of eating as it is about low-fat cooking."<br><br>In <Strong>Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites</Strong> the Collective emphasizes a few changes in basic cooking techniques to apply to everyday recipes and they offer tips and ideas for sustaining a low-fat lifestyle. They bake rather than fry, replace high-fat ingredients with healthy substitutes (no artificial ingredients allowed!), and use butter and oil very moderately. What is lost in fat is gained in bold, intense flavors. "When fashioning low-fat recipes, taking a nip here, a tuck there, we sometimes need to add a little embroidery, an embellishment such as extra herbs, spices, fruit or vegetable purée, vinegar, sun-dried tomatoes, dried mushrooms, miso, soy sauce, or garlic," explain the cooks at Moosewood Restaurant. "Our gingerbread gets extra flavor and moisture from chunks of pear rather than from butter and egg yolks. Two small calamata olives enliven the Caesar Salad Dressing. A little sauerkraut adds interest to an Italian mushroom stew."<br><br>Fat will not be missed in mouthwatering recipes like Guacamole with Asparagus, Chinese Orzo Vegetable Salad, Spring Vegetable Paella, Indian Potato Pancakes, and Creamy Dairyless Rice Pudding. Along with those creative dishes, one of the most appealing parts of <Strong>Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites</Strong> is finding low-fat variations on familiar favorites such as Macaroni and Cheese, Shephard's Pie, and Dark Chocolate Pudding. An added bonus is that the Moosewood Collective has made sure that the ingredients used in the recipes throughout the book are very accessible--easily found in most well-stocked supermarkets. <br><br>In the nutritional, glossary, and guide sections of <Strong>Moosewood Restaurant Low-fat Favorites</Strong> the Collective gives explanations of nutritional terms, instructions for how to glean the information you need from nutrition labels, a brief overview of vitamins and minerals, and guides to ingredients and cooking techniques. These three important sections, combined with the deliciously appetizing recipes, are a wealth of encouragement for low-fat eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The fourteen chapters range from savory soups and main course salads to creative side dishes and aromatic Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes.
