Above all, he says, 'Throughout the meal, we take care of every last detail to ensure that the occasion is a memorable one'. His restaurant Akelare (a Basque word that has entered the Spanish language, meaning a coven of witches) is in a spectacular location on the slopes of the Monte Igueldo, one of the symbols of the beautiful city of San Sebastian, and looks over the Bay of Biscay; it has got to be one of the most special places for a meal anywhere in the worldHere in this visually stunning production you will find some of the culinary creations of Pedro Subijana from the last ten years and you will find excellence, innovation and the avant garde, three terms that could define Akelare's style, as well as an insight into the work of the kitchen and its extensive team.

  • Staging the Table in Europe – 1500–1800

    Bard Graduate Center, Exhibitions Department Staging the Table in Europe – 1500–1800

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisA first of its kind exploration of early modern European culinary history.Staging the Table in Europe represents the first book-length study of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century illustrated handbooks for cooking and dining that provided instruction for nearly every element of the dining experience, from expertly carving meats and fruits to folding napkins into animal forms, performing tableside magic tricks, and creating tablescapes for courtly banquets. Deborah L. Krohn opens a window into a world of culinary spectacle and sheds light on what became a pan-European culture of elaborate performance surrounding the preparation and presentation of food. Krohn shows that the rise of instructional manuals followed the decline of formalized, in-person modes of craft education, such as guilds and familial instruction. More broadly, she demonstrates how these manuals illuminate the material and social worlds of their readers. Beautifully illustrated, Staging the Table in Europe reveals the rich material culture that accompanied lavish banquets and state events as well as everyday dining, enabling readers to imagine the tastes, smells, and sights of Europe’s early modern culinary world. Trade Review"Deborah Krohn’s meticulous parsing of European table literature through the three centuries covered by this study makes her an eloquent and trustworthy guide. The book has been beautifully produced, with a rich hoard of visual materials gracing virtually every page." * The World of Fine Wine *"Referencing 16th and 17th century cookery manuals and artifacts, Staging the Table focuses on the highly respected skill of carving and explores how what was once reserved for the privileged became accessible to the masses, thanks to the broader publication of these manuals and the information within . . . Like its source material, Staging the Table in Europe is a collection of culinary resources, a thoughtfully documented compendium in and of itself, that can exist independently from its original purpose." * Culinary Historians of Canada *

    Book SynopsisLily Ramirez-Foran has spent years sharing how fun, vibrant and convivial Mexican food is and how easy it is to make at home, and what better way to do that than with tacos? These are the authentic flavours of Mexico, from real corn tortillas to smoky chillies, matched with the best of Irish produce. There is something for everyone here, whether you're a carnivore, vegetarian or vegan. Your taco night is about to get taken up a level.Trade Review"This is the simple, undeniable state of affairs right now: I have fallen in love with Lily Ramirez-Foran's beautiful little book, Tacos, and I can't wait for you to as well! It's a real shout-it-from-the-rooftops moment. Yes, it's a recipe book, but - though it be but little - there is so much more to it than that. In these 60-something pages, you learn about context and place, history and (without wishing to sound pretentious) the philosophy of the taco. And this is conveyed with such wit and buoyant enthusiasm it's just impossible not to be swept up by it. And the recipes in it - not photographed but accompanied by charming illustrations by Nicky Hooper - are irresistible. I just urge you to get this invaluable, gorgeous book. Congratulations to Lily Ramirez-Foran and to Blasta Books, whose first publication this also is." - Nigella LawsonTable of ContentsIntroduction; Tortillas: Mastering the art of holding a taco; Corn tortillas; To heat or not to heat?
