 | I Know How to Cook
Brand: Phaidon Press
The bible of French home cooking, <i>Je Sais Cuisiner</i>, has sold over 6 million copies since it was first published in 1932. It is a household must-have, and a well-thumbed copy can be found in kitchens throughout France. Its author, Ginette Mathiot, published more than 30 recipe books in her lifetime, and this is her magnum opus. It's now available for the first time in English as I Know How to Cook. With more than 1,400 easy-to-follow recipes for every occasion, it is an authoritative compendium of every classic French dish, from <i>croque monsieur</i> to <i>cassoulet.</i><br><br>Clear, practical and comprehensive, it is an essential guide to the best home cooking in the world: no cuisine is better than French at bringing the very best out of ingredients to create simple, comforting and delicious dishes. The recipes have been carefully updated by a team of editors led by Parisian food writer Clotilde Dusoulier, to suit modern readers and their kitchens, while preserving the integrity of the original book. The great reputation of <i>I Know How to Cook </i> has been built over three generations by the fact that it is a genuine cookbook: each recipe has been cooked many times, and because it is used by domestic cooks rather than chefs. And with its breadth of recipes and knowledge of techniques, <i>I Know How to Cook</i> doesn't just teach you how to cook French, it teaches you how to cook, period.<br><br>In the tradition of Phaidon's other culinary bibles, <i>The Silver Spoon, 1080 Recipes</i> and <i>Vefa's Kitchen, I Know How to Cook</i> offers menus by celebrated French bistro chefs at the end of the book, including recipes by Daniel Boulud and Francois Payard. | *$24.00 |

 | In-N-Out Burger: A Behind-the-Counter Look at the Fast-Food Chain That Breaks All the Rules
Brand: HarperBusiness
<blockquote> <p> The untold story of the renegade burger chain that evokes a passionate following unlike any other </p> </blockquote> <p> In fast-food corporate America, In-N-Out Burger stands apart. Begun in a tiny shack in the shadow of World War II, this family-owned chain has steadÂfastly refused to franchise or be sold. It is a testament to old-fashioned values and remÂiniscent of a simpler time when people, loyalty, and a freshly made, juicy hamburger meant something. Over time, In-N-Out Burger has become nothing less than a cultural instituÂtion that can lay claim to an insanely loyal following. </p> <p> Perman uses her investigative skills to uncover the story of a real American success story. It is not only a tale of a unique and profitable business that exceeds all expectations, but of a family's struggle to maintain a sustainable pop empire against the industry it helped pioneer, internal tensions, and a bitter lawsuit that threatened to bring the company to the brink. </p> <p> This is a lesson in a counterintuitive approach to doing business that places quality, customers, and employees over the riches promised by rapid expansion. <i>In-N-Out Burger</i> is a keenly observed narrative that explores the evolution of a California fad that transformed into an enduring cult of popularity; it is also the story of the conflicted, secretive, and ultimately tragic Snyder family who cooked a billion burgers and hooked a zillion fans. As the story of In-N-Out Burger unfolds, so too does the cultural history of America as influenced and shaped by car culture and fast food. </p> | *$12.49 |
