    Book SynopsisThe multiple-James Beard Award—winning restaurant critic for Los Angeles Magazine delivers an arresting exploration of our cultural demand for “artisanal” foods in a world dominated by corporate agribusiness. We hear the word “artisanal” all the time—attached to cheese, chocolate, coffee, even fast-food chain sandwiches—but what does it actually mean? We take “farm to table” and “handcrafted food” for granted now but how did we get here? In Finding the Flavors We Lost, acclaimed food writer Patric Kuh profiles major figures in the so-called “artisanal” food movement who brought exceptional taste back to food and inspired chefs and restaurateurs to redefine and rethink the way we eat. Kuh begins by narrating the entertaining stories of countercultural “radicals” who taught themselves the forgotten crafts of b

He’s a wickedly funny, Mediterranean food expert and father of two who tells great stories.” — The Mercury News (6 Sensational New Cookbooks for Fall) “Cal Peternell’s cooking is very traditional, drawing on how people have eaten for generations, using vegetables as the center of the plate… The revered chef’s method is all about emphasizing the flavor of food, but it’s so much more.” — Brooklyn Digest Fall 2018 Cookbook Preview: All the new cookbooks we’re excited to buy, read, and cook from this season. — Epicurious “An extremely good read, with recipes that have a charmingly loose-limbed sophistication. . . . Peternell explodes the formulaic recipe format, speaking directly and affectionately to his readers to help them use every sense—and every last anchovy—to become better, more instinctive cooks.” — New York Times Book Review “Almonds, Anchovies, and Pancetta focuses on three ingredients, yet they impart so much flavor that they satisfy the soul.” — Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Book SynopsisA gifty, funny, and practical guide to transforming the most lackluster of ingredients into a delicious meal, making bad food good and making good food even better, from the author of the New York Times bestselling and IACP Award–winning Twelve Recipes.Trade Review“An invaluable little cookbook you will turn to again and again. . . . His recipe for peppers sautéed until “melty” with mustard and cumin seeds, then doused with cream and finished with a splash of vinegar, sounds like nothing special, but I’ve never tasted anything like it.” — New York Times “There’s enough to worry about these days. Cooking, Peternell assures through each carefully written but not-too-serious recipe, shouldn’t be one of those things. So burn your vegetables, overcook the rice, and eat a tin of fish for dinner. It will be fine. Actually, it will probably be great.” — Eater “[Peternell’s] personal anecdotes and casual preparation instructions . . . give home cooks permission to tap into their own culinary ingenuity, especially when the situations seem far from perfect. . . . Peternell reminds us that with enough confidence and finesse, these scrappy Quickfire Challenge-like moments in the kitchen can actually be the ones that bring out our most creative inner chefs.” — Fine Cooking “Peternell applies his Chez Panisse pedigree . . . to easily prove that 'the humblest can be delicious, the good made great.' . . . Peternell’s dry sense of humor is the main ingredient. . . . To err is human but to repair divine in this handy and hilarious manual.” — Publishers Weekly “Along with great recipes…Peternell shows readers that burnt food is nothing to fear and is just another step—perhaps even a new beginning—in the culinary journey.” — Booklist “A clever and useful guide to making messed-up food taste delicious. . . . [a] funny and highly giftable lemonade-out-of-lemons collection.” — Daily Democrat “[Peternell’s] recipes focus on turning whatever you have on hand, including, yes, burned toast, into surprisingly tasty food. Those scorched slices turn into cheesy onion bread pudding, and the listless produce wilting in your vegetable drawer becomes “broco” tacos! This witty manual really does help turn bad food good.” — Napa Valley Register “The best beginner’s cookbook of the year, if not the decade. In addition to being warm, funny and smart, Twelve Recipes will actually teach you to cook… [Peternell] can nudge anyone, from novice to expert, to want to be a better cook… His wit and intelligence are apparent throughout.” — New York Times Book Review on Twelve Recipes “Full of useful building blocks (like an entire chapter on sauces) that can fit in any modern cook's repertoire…The balance of foundational French technique with American practicality make A Recipe for Cooking a simple yet modern classic.” — Saveur (Best New Cookbooks of Winter 2016) on A Recipe for Cooking “What makes this book special—…Combine the rambling prose with Peternell’s practical advice and delicious flavor combinations and cooking through the recipes feels like having a personal cooking lesson—and a long chat—with the chef himself.” — Bon Appetit (November Cookbook Club Pick) on Almonds, Anchovies, and Pancetta

    Book SynopsisTrade Review“For the cookbook genre, so commonly filled with professionally-styled pictures and brief, impersonal blurbs, Dhalwala’s narrative is a welcome injection of realism, focusing on the supportive role food plays as we navigate life’s sometimes unglamorous, but always interesting complexities.” —NUVO“Vij’s restaurant is simply extraordinary. Unsurpassed flavours and spice combinations, Vij’s Indian cuisine is like no other I’ve tasted before. A journey in cooking tailored by a master in Indian cuisine.” —Daniel Boulud, chef and owner, The Dinex Group“If there was one place I would go to see the future of Indian food it would be to Vij's. This food isn't ripped from the heart of tradition like so much modern junk these days. Meeru and Vikram cook in thoughtful, organic, intuitive ways cherishing history but not being bound by it ... I love it!” —Tom Douglas, author, restaurateur and three-time James Beard Award winner“Meeru and Vikram have been friends of mine for years, and I have proudly followed their successes. Together they have embedded an incredible cultural and culinary overlay to the entire west coast food scene. They push the boundaries of Indian cooking, while remaining true to traditional spicing—I love it all. Vij’s Indian will be a valuable addition to any home cook’s kitchen library.” —John Bishop, chef, restaurateur and cookbook author
