Profile A Cheesemongers Tour de France
Book SynopsisLonglisted for the 2024 André Simon AwardsCharles de Gaulle famously said it was impossible to govern a country with 246 different cheeses. And perhaps he was right. Every French cheese carries an essence of the place where it's made - its history, identity and landscape. Sometimes that's a physical thing, as the hard texture of Comté echoes its mountainous home in the Jura. Other times it's about power and politics - Brie swelling to royal dimensions due to its proximity to the French court, or Camembert gaining national status after being supplied in patriotic boxes to First World War soldiers. In A Cheesemonger's Tour de France, Ned Palmer wends his way around the country's regions, meeting the remarkable cheesemongers who carry the torch for France's oldest and most treasured traditions. As he explains the mysteries of terroir and why each of those different fromages taste as they do, he shows that a French cheeseboard offers genuine insights into la Belle République.

Chicago Review Press A Woman's Place Is in the Brewhouse: A Forgotten
Book SynopsisDismiss the stereotype of the bearded brewer. It’s women, not men, who’ve brewed beer throughout most of human history. Their role as family and village brewer lasted for hundreds of thousands of years—through the earliest days of Mesopotamian civilization, the reign of Cleopatra, the witch trials of early modern Europe, and the settling of colonial America. A Woman’s Place Is in the Brewhouse celebrates the contributions and influence of female brewers and explores the forces that have erased them from the brewing world. It’s a history that’s simultaneously inspiring and demeaning. Wherever and whenever the cottage brewing industry has grown profitable, politics, religion, and capitalism have grown greedy. On a macro scale, men have repeatedly seized control and forced women out of the business. Other times, women have simply lost the minimal independence, respect, and economic power brewing brought them. But there are more breweries now than at any time in American history and today women serve as founder, CEO, or head brewer at more than one thousand of them.As women continue to work hard for equal treatment and recognition in the industry, author Tara Nurin shows readers that women have been—and are once again becoming—relevant in the brewing world.Trade Review"This book is the key to the queendom. If you like women, beer, and history, as I do, then find a comfortable chair and pour yourself a tall frothy glass of fermented barley juice. The adventure you're about to embark on will open your eyes to the forgotten history of women and their role in the greatest civilizing event in history: beer." Teri Fahrendorf, Pink Boots Society Founder"You may or may not have heard of Ninkasi, the Sumerian goddess of beer. You must become familiar with Tara Nurin, the goddess of contemporary beer writing. Tara has been an award-winning writer of beer and the business of beer for Forbes for years. She knows how to grab your attention with fascinating stories in short pieces. With the unlimited space of a book, her story becomes interesting, compelling, and comprehensive." Pete Slosberg, founder of Pete's Wicked Ales and author of Beer for Pete's Sake"Tara Nurin has written one of the more novel and, indeed, necessary beer books of the past few decades. It was an eye-opener to learn about a segment of the brewing past that's often overlooked or simply outright ignored. I highly recommend this read to anyone serious, or even just curious, about beer." Tom Acitelli, author of The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution and PILSNER: How the Beer of Kings Changed the World"A timely, fascinating, and incisive reminder of what has always been true but too often ignored: women are every bit as core to the beer industry as their male counterparts. Tara Nurin's deeply reported and lovingly told tale underscores that a woman's place isn't only in the brewhouse but across every inch of the beer industry." Josh Noel, author of Barrel-Aged Stout and Selling Out"Tara Nurin shines a much-needed spotlight on the 'herstory' of beer during a time of reckoning and self-reflection in our industry. From Mesopotamian women with cauldrons to modern-day brewery owners like myself, Tara effortlessly captures the evolution and importance of women in beer over thousands of years on the pages of this captivating read!" Natalie Cilurzo, co-owner and president, Russian River Brewing Company"A very insightful book highlighting the relevance of women in the brewing industry in Africa and around the world."

PublicAffairs,U.S. The Next Supper: The End of Restaurants as We
Book SynopsisIn the years before the pandemic, the restaurant business was booming. Americans spent more than half of their annual food budgets dining out. In a generation, chefs had gone from behind-the-scenes laborers to TV stars. The arrival of Uber Eats, DoorDash, and other meal delivery apps was overtaking home cooking.Beneath all that growth lurked serious problems. Many of the best restaurants in the world employed unpaid cooks. Meal delivery apps were putting restaurants out of business. And all that dining out meant dramatically less healthy diets. The industry may have been booming, but it also desperately needed to change.Then, along came COVID-19. From the farm to the street-side patio, from the sweaty kitchen to the swarm of delivery vehicles buzzing about our cities, everything about the restaurant business is changing, for better or worse. The Next Supper tells this story and offers clear and essential advice for what and how to eat to ensure the well-being of cooks and waitstaff, not to mention our bodies and the environment. The Next Supper reminds us that breaking bread is an essential human activity and charts a path to preserving the joy of eating out in a turbulent era.

Abrams Gabriel Kreuther
Book SynopsisFrom award-winning chef Gabriel Kreuther and New York Times bestselling author Michael Ruhlman, the definitive cookbook on rustic French cooking from Alsace. Foreword by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, author of Home Cooking with Jean-Georges: My Favorite Simple Recipes Gabriel Kreuther is the cookbook fans of the James Beard Award–winning chef have long been waiting for. From one of the most respected chefs in the United States, this cookbook showcases the recipes inspired by Kreuther’s French-Swiss-German training and refined global style, one that embraces the spirits of both Alsace, his homeland, and of New York City, his adopted home. Sharing his restaurant creations and interpretations of traditional Alsatian dishes, Kreuther teaches the proper techniques for making every dish, whether simple or complex, a success. Recipes include everything from the chef's take on classic Trade Review“A masterpiece that beautifully captures the soul and traditions of Alsace.... This book elevates Gabriel Kreuther’s craftsmanship to an art for approachable home entertainment.” -- Daniel Boulud * chef and restaurateur *“It’s been a long time since I’ve held a book this beautiful. Gabriel Kreuther is a master of Alsatian cuisine and kindly shares recipes that made me jump into the kitchen and start cooking.” -- Sean Brock * chef and author of Heritage *“Chef Kreuther is truly a master of his craft and has perfected the cuisine from one of the most incredibly beautiful regions of Europe. He is every chef’s dream.” -- Barbara Lynch * chef and author of Out of Line *“Chef Gabriel Kreuther pays homage beautifully to Alsace through his love and passion for the region’s rich culture and rustic gastronomy while demonstrating his talent as a refined fine-dining chef.” -- Eric Ripert * chef and author of Vegetable Simple *“It’s rare for a cookbook to truly capture my attention as an avid home cook. Oftentimes the recipes either land as remedial or are so complex they aren’t truly meant to be duplicated at home, but Gabriel’s book is the real deal! The recipes run the gamut from Alsatian comfort foods to the most complex of Gabriel’s Michelin-starred favorites, all broken down in a way where real home cooks can actually make them sing. To top it off, the book is beautifully written and photographed, giving you not just kitchen challenges, but true insight into the heart and history of the man behind the dishes. A must for any foodie with a good set of knives.” -- Hunter Arnold * Tony Award–winning theater producer of Hadestown, Kinky Boots, and Once on This Island *“Gabriel Kreuther is able to express a nostalgic look at Alsatian cuisine while creating recipes that can be enjoyed today. It’s a delicious and gorgeous sensory journey.” -- Kyle Connaughton * chef and co-owner of SingleThread Farms *"Gabriel uses his own deep nostalgia for Alsace in his cuisine in New York, so people can really enjoy the flavors of that region. You’ve got the German influence, the Swiss influence. It’s a fascinating region. Bringing those flavors to New York in a modern way is amazing to me. I want to try everything in this book!” -- Jean-Georges Vongerichten * from the foreword *

Book SynopsisWinner of the 2021 IACP Award for Literary or Historical Food Writing Longlisted for the 2021 Plutarch Award How a leading writer of the Lost Generation became America's most famous farmer and inspired the organic food movement.Trade Review"Heyman applies keen narrative skills to tell the story of Bromfield’s celebrity-studded life—two lives, really—as an author and farmer. The result is a rattling good yarn." -- Barry Estabrook - The Wall Street Journal"The Planter of Modern Life is an inspiriting read in its entirety—the kind that restores your faith in the humans that make humanity." -- Maria Popova - The Marginalian"Inspirational...Bromfield’s original insight was seeing the crucial importance of soil health before science really understood why this matters, or how to build it." -- David R. Montgomery - Nature"Mesmerizing. Abounding in wit, insight, elegance, and narrative talent, The Planter of Modern Life is at once terribly entertaining and subtly illuminating—rather like Bromfield himself, a man at ease in the most rarified Parisian gatherings and bumping along on a tractor on his Ohio farm. This original, ardent visionary of the American environmental future still has much to teach us." -- Victoria Johnson, author of American Eden"This is more than a sparkling biography; it’s a botanical adventure story of a full, plant-based bohemian life, following the journey of a modern Johnny Appleseed from Ohio to World War I France to Hollywood to our dinner plates." -- Michael W. Twitty, author of The Cooking Gene"The astounding tale of Louis Bromfield, a rare and accomplished figure who has vanished from collective memory, despite his importance to issues ranging from organic food to the ephemeral nature of fame. An engaging and fascinating book on many levels." -- Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod and Salt"If Stephen Heyman had written Louis Bromfield’s life as a novel, readers would have found the tale too tall to believe." -- Deirdre Bair, author of Parisian Lives"A brilliant, engaging read about the life of a literary icon and, until now, unrecognized founder of the organic movement." -- Dan Barber, chef of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, author of The Third Plate"I couldn’t put this book down. In this wonderful biography, Stephen Heyman pulls the curtain back so those of us who practically idolized this bigger-than-life soil spokesman can finally understand the complicated man behind the legend." -- Joel Salatin, founder of Polyface Farm, author of Folks, This Ain’t Normal"Heyman turns the story of this novelist, screenwriter, nonfiction author, and pioneering farmer into an utterly engrossing account of both his life and his times…[The Planter of Modern Life] is a biography of dual landscapes—literary and pastoral—as much as a chronicle of a man…An outstanding debut." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"In this delightful and exhilarating page-turner…Heyman does an impressive job of combining all of Bromfield’s interests into a cohesive narrative that captivates as both intriguing history and a significant look at early environmentalism." -- Booklist (starred review)
