Book SynopsisThere’s magic afoot! Edible green growing things we’d mistaken for weeds; everyday vegetables capable of far more than we’d give them credit for; and a most companionable, knowledgeable, and encouraging guide to help us see, cook, taste, and delight in it all. Lori De Mori, coauthor of Towpath The book will serve the professional chef and home cook in equal measure. It is mind expanding, experimental and utilizes a magnificent diversity of plants. Ben MacKinnon, founder and co-director, E5 Bakehouse From root to flower – and featuring 180 recipes and over 230 of the author’s own beautiful photographs – explore the edible plants we find all around us with the Forager Chef Alan Bergo as he breaks new culinary ground! In The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora you’ll find the exotic to the familiar—from Stinging Nettle Soup to Spruce Tip Panna Cotta to Heirloom Tomato and Purslane Panzanella – with Chef Bergo’s unique blend of easy-to-follow instruction and out-of-this-world inspiration. Over the past fifteen years, chef Alan Bergo has become one of the most exciting and resourceful culinary voices, with millions seeking his guidance through his wildly popular website and video tutorials. Bergo’s inventive culinary style is defined by his encyclopedic curiosity and his abiding, root-to-flower passion for both wild and cultivated plants. The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora demonstrates how understanding the different properties and growing phases of roots, stems, leaves and seeds can inform your preparation of something like the head of an immature sunflower – as well as the lesser-used parts of common vegetables, like broccoli or aubergine. As a society, we’ve forgotten this type of old-school knowledge, including many brilliant culinary techniques that were born of thrift and necessity. For our own sake and that of our planet, it’s time we remembered. And in the process, we can unlock new flavors from the abundant landscape around us. The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora invites wild food to the table with creative, low-stress recipes using plants that can be found outside one’s front door. Foreword ReviewsTrade Review“You see a sunny meadow. Alan Bergo sees a salad: all blue violet leaves and wild carrot tops. This accomplished chef cooks the wilderness. As he grinds flour from tree nuts, makes black walnut honey, braises sunflower heads like artichokes, and invents ‘green electricity,’ a magical lovage sauce, Bergo turns nature into food. With such stylish recipes and extraordinary photographs (Bergo’s own), The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora encourages a whole new world of cooks to explore the wild.”—Dorothy Kalins, founding editor, Saveur; author of The Kitchen Whisperers“You haven’t tasted most of the vegetables your ancestors ate. Today, everything is disdained that is too small or too green or doesn’t keep for long on the produce shelf. We’ve been beguiled through generations into The Great Food Forgetting. But big, cheap, and easy have a profound cost: boring food, bad teeth, diabetes, and loss of the primal pleasure of interacting with the green world like a biologically normal human. How do we recover the birthright of perfect eating? By making forgotten food unforgettable. That’s the dream that makes Alan Bergo’s eyes sparkle, and sets his hands to work. As you’ll see in these pages, his eyes and hands work very well together. Follow his guidance from the rediscovered culinary amusement park that surrounds you all the way to your kitchen, and your mouth will confirm everything that your heart suspected. This real, good food is worth remembering.”—Sam Thayer, author of The Forager’s Harvest, Nature’s Garden, and Incredible Wild Edibles“This is so much more than a cookbook. Of course there are tantalizing recipes, but there are also walks in the woods, explorations of plant families, revelations of unusual flavors, well-crafted plant profiles, and explanations of why things work the way they do. In The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora, Alan shares his philosophical and practical approach to making wonderful food, with exquisitely detailed flavor combinations and useful tips that could only come from a consummate pro. His passion for these wild and cultivated flavors is inspiring and will undoubtedly change the way you cook.”—Ellen Zachos, author of Backyard Foraging“The joy and delight in Alan’s writing are contagious. After reading just the introduction, I wanted to escape to the countryside to start foraging so I could cook his inspiring recipes. This book has so many layers. Not only does it contain an abundance of recipes and information about the plants, it provides us with a history from all over the world where people commonly cooked with these ingredients. His passion and enthusiasm are endless. I was instantly engrossed and keep going back for more. I feel like this book will continue to educate me every time I pick it up! I can’t wait to start cooking from it.”—Laura Jackson, chef; coauthor of Towpath“There’s magic afoot! Edible green growing things we’d mistaken for weeds; everyday vegetables capable of far more than we’d give them credit for; and a most companionable, knowledgeable, and encouraging guide to help us see, cook, taste, and delight in it all.”—Lori De Mori, coauthor of Towpath“There are a lot of reasons to love this book, but chief among them is its accessibility: Alan’s recipes are approachable, and rooted in the various cultures that invented them. No pinkie-in-the-air foams or molecular whatnot here, just beautiful renditions of beloved dishes that hinge on the edible, wild world that lives all around us.”—Hank Shaw, cookbook author; owner of the James Beard Award–winning website Hunter Angler Gardener Cook“Alan Bergo is one of the most talented and knowledgeable foragers and chefs of my generation. I’ve followed his adventures for many years now and am delighted to see all of his delectable food in this vastly inspiring and creative tome. Alan’s journeys from the garden bed to the heart of the wilderness and back to your kitchen will instill in you the urge to forage for your food and the desire to learn about all the wonderful ways that you can use nearly any vegetable, wild or cultivated. The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora is an indispensable guide to all the wondrous flavors, tastes, textures, smells, and sights of the wild foods of our world.”—Jeremy Umansky, chef/owner, Larder Delicatessen & Bakery; coauthor of Koji Alchemy “Alan Bergo is one of the most important contemporary voices in the food of the Great Lakes North, and one of the most completely skilled wild-food chefs in America. He combines scholarship, science, vast curiosity, and a deep respect for the indigenous origins of American food. Through his efforts to reteach us how delicious our own food is, he is doing us an enormous and long-overdue favor. He is reintroducing us to our true native cuisine—a cuisine with breadth, flavor, and subtlety to rival the traditional cuisine of any other region on Earth.”—Steve Hoffman, James Beard MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award Winner“I am wild about this book. I now carry a bag wherever I walk for gathering dandelions and purslane. I pick up acorns and hickory nuts, and am now thinking of so many new ways to make use of the immense larder that is nature. The sensibilities of the forager combined with that of the chef, truly inspiring.”—Ken Albala, PhD, professor of history at the University of the Pacific; author of food histories, cookbooks, translations and reference works, and video courses Food: A Cultural Culinary History and Cooking across the Ages“This tome of a book, packed with a globally inspired fusion of playful recipes that have been gleaned during Alan’s journey as a chef and forager, is loaded with practical tips for seeking out, storing, and serving your foraged greens. The book will serve the professional chef and home cook in equal measure. It is mind expanding, experimental and utilizes a magnificent diversity of plants.”—Ben MacKinnon, founder and codirector, E5 Bakehouse“If you find wild foods as delightful as I do, and the act of foraging as empowering as Alan Bergo does, you will be charmed by the slew of wild recipes and unusual edibles in the pages of his much-anticipated The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora. Even familiar garden plants like lilies, hyacinths, and hostas will begin to look distinctly appealing in terms of dinner. Dive in!”—Marie Viljoen, author of Forage, Harvest, Feast and 66 Square FeetPublishers Weekly— "[An] excellent debut. . . . Advocating that plants are edible in their entirety is one thing, but this [book] delivers the delectable means to prove it."Foreword Reviews— "The Forager Chef’s Book of Flora invites wild food to the table with creative, low-stress recipes using plants that can be found outside one’s front door.""[A] remarkable new cookbook, Bergo provides stories, photographs and inventive recipes."—Star Tribune

Book SynopsisTrade Review"If I had to choose one word to describe Lukas Volger’s Snacks for Dinner, it would be LIBERATING! Snacks for dinner recalibrated my entire mindset about what dinner can be – from colorful crudites and dip, to a spread of pickles with crackers, hearty centerpieces which can be eaten by hand, and soups that can be sipped like a smoothie, Lukas succeeds in showing us that dinner need not be onerous, complicated or anything less than simple and fun. Lukas’s snacky-style eating single-handedly brings joy back to the dinner table." — Hetty McKinnon, author of To Asia with Love "This book is an absolute treasure for home cooks searching for celebration. Just one or two of these playful-yet-simple recipes can transform a humble snack into a full-fledged party for one, two, or a crowd. A bowl of Chex Mix gets studded with crispy ramen clusters; sweet potato dip is perfumed with the smoky scent of chipotle. With Snacks for Dinner, Lukas has not just given us permission to serve snacks as a meal, he also celebrates the whimsy and freedom that can come with it." — Jesse Szewczyk, author of Cookies: The New Classics "Snacks for Dinner gives us permission to make meals out of all of the nibbles we’ve too long relegated as 'starters.' Why can’t dinner be a union of crispy lemony chickpeas and creamy, dilly white beans alongside charred radicchio with farro and burrata? Now it can. With each bright, textured, vegetable-loaded bite more irresistible than the last, dinner has never been so delicious." — Alexandra Stafford, author of Bread Toast Crumbs "Snacks for Dinner perfectly captures the vibes of my favorite kind of dinner party: impromptu yet deeply thoughtful, fancy-feeling but not fussy, with vegetables at the center. With delightfully clever recipes and his warm, confident guidance, Lukas shows us how to turn something as humble as dip and crackers into a memorable meal that’s worth sharing." — Christina Chaey, senior food editor, Bon Appétit “Snacks for Dinner is a joyful invitation to make your meals simpler, fresher, and SO much more fun!

Book SynopsisNamed a Best Cookbook to Give and Get by Food & Wine, Martha Stewart Living, the Boston Globe, the Chicago Tribune, the Houston Chronicle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and EaterDavid Tanis Market Cooking is about seeking out the best ingredients, learning the qualities of each, and the methods and recipes that showcase what makes them special—pulling from all the world’s great cuisines. Sections on universal ingredients—such as alliums (garlic, onion, shallots, leeks, etc.)—offer some of the simplest yet most satisfying recipes in the world. Consider the onion in these three marvelous incarnations: Lebanese Caramelized Onions, American Buttermilk Fried Onion Rings, and French Onion and Bacon Tart. And the chile section encourages readers to use real chiles (rather than reach for bottled hot sauce) on an everyday basis in recipes from Morocco to India, from Mexico to China, with wonderful results. A masterwork of recipes, approach, technique, and philosophy, David Tanis Market Cooking is as inspiring as it is essential. This is how to become a more intuitive and spontaneous cook. This is how to be more discerning in the market and freer in the kitchen. This is how to transform the freshest ingredients into one perfectly delicious dish after another, guided by the core beliefs that have shaped David Tanis’s incomparable career: Food doesn’t have to be fussy to be satisfying. Seasonal vegetables should be central to a meal. Working with food is a joy, not a chore.Trade Review“Our food editors recommend David Tanis Market Cooking as a new kitchen essential.”—Martha Stewart Living “Tanis has long been one of the best voices on modern American cooking, a gifted chef—25 years at Chez Panisse—and equally gifted writer. His new book is a lovely one, with 200 recipes embedded in almost 500 pages, all geared toward today’s vegetable-driven cuisine. . . . Tanis’s food is deeply flavorful, honest, creative and always, always fun to cook.”—Los Angeles Times “A crash course on how to seek out the best, fresh, and simple ingredients, and what to do with them once you have them.”—Foodandwine.com “Deciding what to cook based on what looks good at the market only works if you have a roster of simple, accessible recipes for each ingredient at your fingertips. Luckily, that’s exactly what the new book from [David Tanis] delivers here.”—Epicurious “An inspired collection of ideas that serves as a teaching manual of sorts, with traditionally written recipes, ingredients and steps spelled out, and a more informal description in narrative form of how to prep a dish.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “Tanis invites us to learn deeply about each ingredient and to discover cooking methods and recipes that showcase what makes them special. . . . With wisdom and generosity, Tanis eases us in the direction of more intuitive, more spontaneous cooking. The point of it all is this: Delicious needn’t be complicated. And that’s something that every cook—from beginner to pro—can appreciate.”—Fine Cooking “A gentle, approachable guide to getting the most out of your [market] haul. . . . [Tanis’s] calm, Jedi-like assurance guides you into making a perfect Tuscan pork roast, Oaxaca-style garlic soup, or a quick harissa recipe that you’ll soon know by heart. There’s a reason that young-gun chefs like Ignacio Mattos, who cooked with Tanis at Chez Panisse, revere him: He’s got The Knowledge.”—BonAppetit.com “In [Tanis’s] largest and most comprehensive cookbook to date, his words read as patient, funny, and understanding—the ideal companion on your seasonally focused culinary journey. . . . At a time when famous chef-driven cookbooks are becoming more and more like aspirational coffee table books—beautiful but full of eight-hour, six-component recipes you’ll probably never work through—it’s a delight to return to straightforward simplicity and accessibility. . . . In our restaurant-obsessed era, mixed in with Blue Apron conveniences, David Tanis Market Cooking makes a compelling case for staying home and cooking from scratch.—East Bay Express “Over 200 confidence-building recipes. . . . Tanis is a wise chef for all seasons.”—BookPage “These beautifully simple preparations allow market-fresh vegetables and herbs to shine. . . . An inviting entry to the fundamentals of market cooking.”—Library Journal “Recipes are simple but deliver. Tanis is an excellent recipe writer as well.”—The Telegraph (UK) “I could happily eat David’s food every day. I love its beauty, simplicity, and integrity, and there’s always an element of surprise. Market Cooking is his best book yet.”—Alice Waters, owner, Chez Panisse, and founder, the Edible Schoolyard Project “There is a refreshing clarity to David Tanis’s food. Who needs fireworks when your ingredients are market-fresh, the recipes are reassuringly straightforward, and the author is the most brilliant cook?”—Yotam Ottolenghi, author of Plenty and Jerusalem “David Tanis always makes me want to cook—right now. This is a gorgeous and essential book.”—Deborah Madison, author of In My Kitchen and Vegetable Cooking Forever “I do not know how he does it, but David Tanis has produced another can’t-do-without book—a classic.”—Madhur Jaffrey, author of Vegetarian India “David’s cooking is succulent, fresh, and full of joy.”—Francis Mallmann author of Mallmann on Fire “In Market Cooking, David Tanis shares the genius of his nuanced, simple yet sophisticated dishes.

Book SynopsisThe deceptively simple lemon takes center stage in the second volume of TASCHEN’s collaboration with The Gourmand, masters of the rich intersection of food and art. The star of Renaissance gardens, that shaped the Medici dynasty, have the power to ward off scurvy, had a hand in forming the mob, and whose juice has been used as an invisible ink since 600 CE to pen covert messages, these joyful yellow orbs are ripe with intrigue. The Gourmand charts the fruit’s astonishingly intricate genealogy, explores its role as a literary device for the likes of Joan Didion, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tom Wolfe, and James Joyce, and examines its unique representation of the American dream through lemonade stands. A favorite subject of art history’s giants, the lemon captivates in the still lifes of Old Masters and inspired the breakthroughs of modern visionaries like Picasso, Matisse, and Warhol. Lemons also find themselves at the cutting edge of design in Philippe Starck’s iconic Juicy Salif and the unassuming yet revolutionary Jif Lemon. Their presence extends to the decorative arts, gracing everything from Arts and Crafts wallpapers to mythological ceramics. Even the famed Bloomsbury Group found lemons entangled in their literary love affairs. Accompanying these citrus-centric anecdotes are a foreword by chef and acclaimed food writer Simon Hopkinson and an introduction by art critic and author Jennifer Higgie alongside more than 60 lemon-infused recipes across global cuisines and for every occasion—including perfect poultry, decadent sauces, classic cocktails, and indulgent desserts, with custom photography by Bobby Doherty. Trade Review“Since launching out of London a handful of years ago, The Gourmand has garnered a cult following for its whimsical take on contemporary food and culture.” * New York Magazine *

Book Synopsis Ask a foodie about the Amalfi Coast and lemons immediately spring to mind. The sweet, aromatic, large and thick-skinned Sfusato Amalfitano is the extraordinary and delectable citrus fruit which Gennaro Contaldo grew up with. Lemons were and still are a part of daily life for locals of the Amalfi Coast, and, when Gennaro came to the UK over 40 years ago he continued this tradition. From a sliver of zest in his morning espresso to helping with minor ailments and even household chores, lemons have a wealth of uses. No part of the lemon is wasted – flesh, pith and skin are chopped into salads, juice is drizzled over meat, fish and veggies, while the aromatic zest adds a complexity to a dish's flavour. Even the leaves are used to wrap meat, fish and cheese for extra flavour, or finely chopped and made into a tea infusion. Lemons can cleanse, refresh, preserve, ‘cook’ and add a vibrant flavour to dishes as giving colour and an uplifting aroma. From Ravioli with Ricotta, Lemon and Mint, and Sicilian Chicken Involtini, to Lemon Biscuits, and Coffee and Lemon Semi-freddo, this is not only a beautiful and inspiring homage to the most revered of fruit but Gennaro's most inspirational book to date. Chapters are: Introduction – including The Amalfi Lemon and Lemons in the Kitchen; Small Plates; Vegetables; Fish; Meat; Desserts; Drinks & Preserves; Sauces & Dressings.Trade Review‘What a beautiful book full of incredible flavour.’ -- Jamie Oliver‘I can still remember the delight of eating my first Amalfi lemon whole, it was about the time I met Gennaro. Since then his books on Italian food have been a source of inspiration, particularly this one.’ -- Rick Stein‘Passionate, personal and practical, this joyous book will delight a huge spectrum of home cooks’ -- LoveREADING'Beautiful, vibrant packed with heavenly recipes all based around lemons' -- Devon Life magazine
