 | 52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning, and a Perfect Crust
Brand: Algonquin Books
William Alexander is determined to bake the perfect loaf of bread. He tasted it long ago, in a restaurant, and has been trying to reproduce it ever since. Without success. But now heâs going to try againâevery week for one yearâuntil he gets it right. He will bake his peasant loaf from scratch. And because Alexander is nothing if not thorough, he really means <i>from scratch</i>: growing, harvesting, winnowing, threshing, and milling his own wheat. <br><br>Alexanderâs often hilarious quest takes our (anti)hero through dangerous back alleys of Morocco, where he bakes his loaf in an ancient communal oven; to Paris, where he enrolls in the <i>cours de boulangerie</i> at the famed Ãcole Ritz Escoffier; to a monastery in Normandy, where (his lack of French and faith notwithstanding) he becomes bread baker to the monks; and finally to his own backyard, where he builds a lopsided brick oven and learns that perfection is just a state of mind. Alexander also takes us along on entertaining visits to yeast factories and flour mills, seeks advice from master bread bakers, captures wild yeast to make his own <i>levain</i>, and enters the baking contest at the New York State Fair. <br><br>An original take on the six-thousand-year-old staple of life, <i>52 Loaves</i> explores the nature of obsession, the meditative quality of ritual, the futility of trying to re-create something perfect, our deep connection to the earth, and the mysterious instinct that makes every single person on the planet, regardless of culture or society, respond to the aroma of baking bread. <br><br><br> | *$11.97 |

And <i>660 Curries</i> is the gateway to the world of Indian cooking, demystifying one of the world's great cuisines.<br> <br> Presented by the IACP awardâwinning Cooking Teacher of the Year (2004), Raghavan Iyer, <i>660 Curries</i> is a joyous food-lover's extravaganza. Mr. Iyer first grounds us in the building blocks of Indian flavorsâthe interplay of sour (like tomatoes or yogurt), salty, sweet, pungent (peppercorns, chiles), bitter, and the quality of unami (seeds, coconuts, and the like). Then, from this basic palette, he unveils an infinite art. There are appetizersâSpinach Fritters, Lentil Dumplings in a Buttermilk Coconut Sauceâand main coursesâChicken with Lemongrass and Kaffir-Lime Leaves, Lamb Loin Chops with an Apricot Sauce. Cheese dishesâPan-Fried Cheese with Cauliflower and Cilantro; bean dishesâLentil Stew with Cumin and Cayenne. And hundreds of vegetable dishesâSweet Corn with Cumin and Chiles, Chunky Potatoes with Golden Raisins, Baby Eggplant Stuffed with Cashew Nuts and Spices. There are traditional, regional curries from around the subcontinent and contemporary curries. Plus all the extras: biryanis, breads, rice dishes, raitas, spice pastes and blends, and rubs.<br> <br>curry, n.âany dish that consists of either meat, fish, poultry, legumes, vegetables, or fruits, simmered in or covered with a sauce, gravy, or other liquid that is redolent with any number of freshly ground and very fragrant spices and/or herbs. | *$21.93 |
 | 97 Orchard: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement
Brand: Smithsonian
<p> In <i>97 Orchard</i>, Jane Ziegelman explores the culinary life that was the heart and soul of New York's Lower East Side around the turn of the twentieth centuryâa city within a city, where Germans, Irish, Italians, and Eastern European Jews attempted to forge a new life. Through the experiences of five families, all of them residents of 97 Orchard Street, she takes readers on a vivid and unforgettable tour, from impossibly cramped tenement apartments down dimly lit stairwells where children played and neighbors socialized, beyond the front stoops where immigrant housewives found respite and company, and out into the hubbub of the dirty, teeming streets. </p> <p> Ziegelman shows how immigrant cooks brought their ingenuity to the daily task of feeding their families, preserving traditions from home but always ready to improvise. While health officials worried that pushcarts were unsanitary and that pickles made immigrants too excitable to be good citizens, a culinary revolution was taking place in the streets of what had been culturally an English city. Along the East River, German immigrants founded breweries, dispensing their beloved lager in the dozens of beer gardens that opened along the Bowery. Russian Jews opened tea parlors serving blintzes and strudel next door to Romanian nightclubs that specialized in goose pastrami. On the streets, Italian peddlers hawked the cheese-and-tomato pies known as <i>pizzarelli</i>, while Jews sold knishes and squares of halvah. Gradually, as Americans began to explore the immigrant ghetto, they uncovered the array of comestible enticements of their foreign-born neighbors. <i>97 Orchard</i> charts this exciting process of discovery as it lays bare the roots of our collective culinary heritage. </p> | *$15.20 |

 | A History of the World in 6 Glasses
Brand: Walker Publishing Company
<DIV><DIV>From beer to Coca-Cola, the six drinks that have helped shape human history<BR>Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period. <BR><BR><I>A History of the World in 6 Glasses</I> tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization.<BR><BR>For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again.<BR></DIV></DIV> | *$10.29 |
 | A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table
Brand: Simon & Schuster
When Molly Wizenberg's father died of cancer, everyone told her to go easy on herself, to hold off on making any major decisions for a while. But when she tried going back to her apartment in Seattle and returning to graduate school, she knew it wasn't possible to resume life as though nothing had happened. So she went to Paris, a city that held vivid memories of a childhood trip with her father, of early morning walks on the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter and the taste of her first pain au chocolat. She was supposed to be doing research for her dissertation, but more often, she found herself peering through the windows of chocolate shops, trekking across town to try a new pâtisserie, or tasting cheeses at outdoor markets, until one evening when she sat in the Luxembourg Gardens reading cookbooks until it was too dark to see, she realized that her heart was not in her studies but in the kitchen. <P> At first, it wasn't clear where this epiphany might lead. Like her long letters home describing the details of every meal and market, Molly's blog Orangette started out merely as a pleasant pastime. But it wasn't long before her writing and recipes developed an international following. Every week, devoted readers logged on to find out what Molly was cooking, eating, reading, and thinking, and it seemed she had finally found her passion. But the story wasn't over: one reader in particular, a curly-haired, food-loving composer from New York, found himself enchanted by the redhead in Seattle, and their email correspondence blossomed into a long-distance romance. <P> In <I>A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table</i>, Molly Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center. From her mother's pound cake, a staple of summer picnics during her childhood in Oklahoma, to the eggs she cooked for her father during the weeks before his death, food and memories are intimately entwined. You won't be able to decide whether to curl up and sink into the story or to head straight to the market to fill your basket with ingredients for Cider-Glazed Salmon and Pistachio Cake with Honeyed Apricots. | *$25.00 |

Brand: ebook
My object in writing this little book is to show you how you may prepare<br>and cook your daily food, so as to obtain from it the greatest amount of<br>nourishment at the least possible expense; and thus, by skill and<br>economy, add, at the same time, to your comfort and to your<br>comparatively slender means. The Recipes which it contains will afford<br>sufficient variety, from the simple every-day fare to more tasty dishes<br>for the birthday, Christmas-day, or other festive occasions.<br><br>In order to carry out my instructions properly, a few utensils will be<br>necessary. Industry, good health, and constant employment, have, in many<br>instances, I trust, enabled those whom I now address to lay by a little<br>sum of money. A portion of this will be well spent in the purchase of<br>the following articles:--A cooking-stove, with an oven at the side, or<br>placed under the grate, which should be so planned as to admit of the<br>fire being open or closed at will; by this contrivance much heat and<br>fuel are economized; there should also be a boiler at the back of the<br>grate. By this means you would have hot water always ready at hand, the<br>advantage of which is considerable. Such poor men's cooking-stoves<br>exist, on a large scale, in all modern-built lodging-houses. Also, a<br>three-gallon iron pot with a lid to it, a one-gallon saucepan, a<br>two-quart ditto, a frying-pan, a gridiron, and a strong tin baking-dish.<br><br>examples<br>No. 1. BOILED BEEF.<br><br>This is an economical dinner, especially where there are many mouths to<br>feed. Buy a few pounds of either salt brisket, thick or thin flank, or<br>buttock of beef; these pieces are always to be had at a low rate. Let us<br>suppose you have bought a piece of salt beef for a Sunday's dinner,<br>weighing about five pounds, at 6-1/2_d._ per pound, that would come to<br>2_s._ 8-1/2_d._; two pounds of common flour, 4_d._, to be made into suet<br>pudding or dumplings, and say 8-1/2_d._ for cabbages, parsnips, and<br>potatoes; altogether 3_s._ 9_d._ This would produce a substantial dinner<br>for ten persons in family, and would, moreover, as children do not<br>require much meat when they have pudding, admit of there being enough<br>left to help out the next day's dinner, with potatoes.<br><br><br>No. 2. HOW TO BOIL BEEF.<br><br>Put the beef into your three or four gallon pot, three parts filled with<br>cold water, and set it on the fire to boil; remove all the scum that<br>rises to the surface, and then let it boil gently on the hob; when the<br>meat has boiled an hour and is about half done, add the parsnips in a<br>net, and at the end of another half hour put in the cabbages, also in a<br>net. A piece of beef weighing five or six pounds will require about two<br>hours' gentle boiling to cook it thoroughly. The dumplings may, of<br>course, be boiled with the beef, etc. I may here observe that the<br>dumplings and vegetables, with a small quantity of the meat, would be<br>all-sufficient for the children's meal.<br><br> | *$3.99 |
