Book SynopsisFinalist for the IACP Cookbook Award, Chefs and RestaurantsFrench food reimagined by a new generation of chefs. There is a new movement afoot in Paris. Young chefs have turned their backs on stuffiness and are creating an experience that is more fun and a lot less formal. In tiny independent bistros mostly on the outskirts of the city, they are turning out fantastically inventive food that bypasses many of the old sauces and relies instead on the vibrancy of responsibly sourced ingredients. Because they are working in tiny kitchens with little or no staff, advance preparation is esteemed. (Good news for the home cook looking to crib kitchen notes.) Among their tricks (which could fit easily into anyone’s repertoire) are finding inspired uses for humble root vegetables like rutabaga and parsnips, presenting a vegetable raw and cooked in the same dish, and revitalizing the classic crumble for dessert. In Bistronomy, Jane Sigal captures thTrade Review"Sigal does an exemplary job providing examples of the evolution of the French culinary scene, while also tapping into the foundations of French foods by including sections on food staples that will never change. . . Sigal knows the scene well and fully embraces new and innovative restaurants only found off the beaten path. Chefs are taking the starch out of tired French cooking and we couldn't be more excited." -BookTrib.com"If you love good, classy food, you will surely love Bistronomy." -THE WASHINGTON BOOK REVIEW"If anything can instantly transport you to Paris more than biting into a Laduree macaron, it's flipping through the new cookbook Bistronomy. Brimming with inventive recipes and incredible photos from the city's most-talked-about modern bistros, it's a book meant for both the cocktail table and the kitchen counter." -ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST"Photographer Fredrika Stjärne has beautifully, and perfectly, captured the atmospheric French flavour and joie de vivre of casual dining, observing the details, and those that work and create in the bistros. The delicious recipes in this book will make you feel like you are sat down on a pretty side street in a charming bistro, soaking up the gallic charm of the City of Light…bon appétit!"-TheLifestyleEditor.com"This new generation of bistro chefs has found a way to create vibrant dishes while hewing to the dictates of a dull economy. . .[Jane Sigal] has in-depth knowledge of French culinary traditions, and has carefully adopted these recipes for the home cook." -NASHUA TELEGRAPH"If you believe media who insist French cuisine has become stultified, open this beautiful book [Bistronomy] and be prepared to find that the best young chefs of Paris are doing stunning work, usually in homage to the classics but also wholly their own invention. . . A sense of conviviality and youthful enthusiasm runs through the book, without a scintilla of affectation." -THE HUFFINGTON POSTTwo minutes after I got Bistronomy, I got cooking! The glorious photographs will transport you to Paris, and Jane’s writing, her beautifully detailed instructions, and the collection of enticing recipes will send you to the kitchen to cook and cook some more.” —Dorie Greenspan, author of Baking Chez Moi and Around My French Table "Bravo to Jane Sigal for having pulled together, with talent, all the details, culinary but also human, that define the personality of the bistro phenomenon that is Bistronomy!" —Chef Guy Savoy“I can’t think of anyone more qualified to write about the ever-changing Paris bistro scene than Jane Sigal. The food in this book is thoroughly appealing and totally accessible to the home cook, so much so that you want to grab it and begin cooking, right away.” —Patricia Wells, author of Bistro Cooking and The Food Lover’s Guide to Paris "More than recipes, more than a guide: a vibrant homage to today's French cuisine." —Chef Alain Ducasse "[Jane Sigal] writes about what is happening in the hottest Parisian bistros today. This is modern day food, not your fatty duck cassoulet. There is also a lot of material on how the home cook can reproduce bistro food in the small house kitchen."-GoodFoodRevolution.com

Book SynopsisIn 1975,Gourmet magazine published a series on traditional Japanese food —the first of its kind in a major American food magazine — written by a graduate of the prestigious Yanagihara School of classical cuisine in Tokyo. Today, the author of that groundbreaking series, Elizabeth Andoh, is recognized as the leading English-language authority on the subject. She shares her knowledge and passion for the food culture of Japan in WASHOKU, an authoritative, deeply personal tribute to one of the world's most distinctive culinary traditions. Andoh begins by setting forth the ethos of washoku (traditional Japanese food), exploring its nuanced approach to balancing flavor, applying technique, and considering aesthetics hand-in-hand with nutrition. With detailed descriptions of ingredients complemented by stunning full-color photography, the book's comprehensive chapter on the Japanese pantry is practically a book unto itself.

Much more than just a collection of recipes, WASHOKU is a journey through a cuisine that is rich in history and as handsome as it is healthful. Awards2006 IACP Award WinnerReviews“This extensive volume is clearly intended for the cook serious about Japanese food.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune“. . . scholarly, yet inspirational . . . a foodie might just sit back and read for sheer enjoyment and edification.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Book SynopsisAn award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a unique American tradition that was not imported.The origin story of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most common barbecue myths, the "Caribbean Origins Theory," which holds that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century. Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.Trade ReviewIn From Barbycu to Barbecue, Joseph R. Haynes's exhaustive research gives some much-needed fresh air to barbecue's early, and hazy, history. This is a welcome addition to a growing barbecue canon." —Adrian Miller, James Beard Award-winning author and certified barbecue judge"From Barbycu to Barbecue is the major missing link to understanding true barbecue in the United States. Haynes' years of research and analysis in evaluating the invention of Barbecue is clearly exhibited. This book is necessary for people that want to get the most accurate understanding of barbecue history available." —Howard J. Conyers, Ph.D., barbecue expert"In a field which is still colored by invented traditions, rumors masquerading as facts, Haynes's work stands out as a properly historical act. He has done a fantastic job in finding new material to illuminate more precisely the African, indigenous, and European influences in American barbecue traditions. This is a work that pushes beyond the speculations of the past to establish the parameters of 'the barbecue archive' far more firmly than before." —Andrew Warnes, author of Savage Barbecue: Race, Culture, and the Invention of America's First Food"At first glance, Haynes's assertions may strike some as absurd, but once you read his work and consider his meticulous research, it becomes clear that it's not Haynes that's off the wall but rather the current understanding of the mainstream concerning barbecue's birthplace. . . . Alongside the likes of barbecue scholars Adrian Miller, Daniel Vaughn, and Andrew Warnes, Haynes deserves a much-earned place at the pit where the in-depth conversations of barbecue's history are being had. His commonsense conclusions backed up by his commitment to research result in writing that is essential to better understanding the origins of barbecue." —Joshua Fitzwater, editor and publisher, Southern GritTable of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Hernando's Barbacoa: Spanish Explorers and Outdoor Cooking in Latin America Chapter 2 Herbert's Patta: The Birth of Jerked Pork in Jamaica Chapter 3 Jean-Baptiste's Boucan: A Seventeen-Century "Caribbean" Picnic Chapter 4 Beauchamp's Barbecado: Native American Food Preservation Chapter 5 Richard's Barbycu: The English Word Barbecue Chapter 6 George's Barbicue: The Beginnings of Southern Barbecue Chapter 7 Juba's 'Cue: The Original Southern Barbecue Chapter 8 Ned's Barbacue: Transatlantic Misunderstandings Chapter 9 Sam's Barbecue: Uncle Sam's Barbecue Tradition Acknowledgments Notes Selected Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisFirst edition published in Japan in 2009 by Kodansha International. Japanese cuisine is renowned for the beauty of its presentation. Among the key elements in this presentation style are mukimono--the decorative garnishes and carvings that add the final flourish to a dish. It might be a carrot round in the shape of a plum blossom. Or a scattering of cherry blossoms plucked from a radish. Perhaps a swallow, a butterfly, a ginkgo leaf or a cluster of pine needles. Whatever the motif, it will have been created to delight the eye and the palate with its shape, color, and

Book SynopsisVenice has always been a bustling trade city. Its cuisine is the most profound expression of a territorial identity and was not immune to contaminations by other cultures. The need to preserve food during long sea journeys and strong links with the Far East—the origin of the city’s imported spices—generated recipes with unexpected flavours. Nonetheless, the flavour of Venetian dishes reveals something more than its commercial past. To discover its complexities you must sail to the lagoon’s islands, where the restaurants offer authentic traditional Venetian cuisine. VENEZIA IN CUCINA captures the essence and inspiration of many of those native Venetian dishes, including everything from antipasti and entrees to wine pairings and delectable desserts.

Book SynopsisSteep verdant rice terraces, ancient rainforest and fire-breathing volcanoes create the landscape of the world's largest archipelago. Indonesia is a travellers' paradise, with cuisine as vibrant and thrilling as its scenery.
