Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Boqueria: A Cookbook, from Barcelona to New York
Book Synopsis"Boqueria captures the soul of Spanish cuisine." --James Beard Award-winning chef and cookbook author Alfred Portale For over a decade New York City's famed Boqueria restaurants have been distilling the energy, atmosphere, and flavors of Barcelona, becoming a place where patrons share excellent wine and exquisite dishes. From traditional tapas like crispy patatas bravas and bacon-wrapped dates to classic favorites like garlicky sautéed shrimp, pork meatballs, and saffron-spiced seafood paella, Boqueria captures the very best of Spanish cuisine. For this sumptuous cookbook, restaurateur Yann de Rochefort and Executive Chef Marc Vidal tell the story of Boqueria, which has now spread to four New York City locations as well as to Washington, D.C. While the recipes--all deeply rooted in Barcelona's culinary culture--take center stage with phenomenal food photography, Boqueria also swings open the kitchen doors to reveal the bustling life of the restaurant, and offers exciting glimpses of the locales that inspire it: the bars, markets, and cervezerias of Barcelona. Transporting us to the busy, colorful stalls of legendary fresh market "La Boqueria," these portraits of the Spanish city are so vibrant that you can almost smell the Mediterranean's salt air. Boqueria's recipes are delectable variations on authentic Barcelona fare, but more than that; along with their origin stories, these recipes inspire a bit of the Boqueria experience--the cooking, the conversations, and the connections--in your own home.Trade ReviewA hefty, nicely photographed volume from Boqueria . . . It won't take long to call classic gazpacho, branzino speed-roasted on a bed of vegetables, clams showered with salsa verde, and watermelon sangria your own. * New York Times *Exciting and decadent.

Figure 1 Publishing East Bay Cooks: Signature Recipes from the Best
Book SynopsisThe East Bay has always remained true to itself. It includes Oakland, the most ethnically diverse population in the nation; Berkeley, the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement; the island of Alameda with its artisan breweries, wineries, and distilleries; and the Livermore Valley, one of California’s oldest winemaking regions. East Bay Cooks is an impressive collection of 80 signature dishes from 40 of the region's leading restaurants. An uncomplicated taco with the power to stir the soul? A nourishing bowl of authentic Singaporean laksa? Shrimp and grits with layers of flavors never imagined? It’s all here. And designed with home cooks in mind, re-creating signature dishes from the area’s favorite chefs has never been easier. It’s a region that’s got you covered, no matter what the craving.Trade Review“Finally, a book that spotlights the bootstrap, high-flying, gung-ho spirit that’s shaped the culinary creativity of the long-overlooked East Bay. Veteran food writer Carolyn Jung beautifully captures the stories of the people and savors that have made the region an exciting multicultural force in the food world.” —Andrea Nguyen, James Beard Award-winning author “The East Bay is a place where cooks weave food traditions like strands in a nest, a mingling of dishes by new and long-settled immigrants, descendants of the Great Migration and of Berkeley’s culinary revolution, and chefs who cook to bolster community. Only Carolyn Jung, who combines the skills of a cook and a journalist, could tease it all apart so deftly and so deliciously.” —John Birdsall, James Beard Award-winning writer “East Bay Cooks shows how Oakland and its environs have grown to embrace myriad nationalities and cuisines to make it one of the most exciting destinations for good eating in the country, if not the world. —Rick Rodgers, culinary teacher and award-winning cookbook author "With vivid photography by Eva Kolenko, Jung darts through more than 80 recipes from chefs in Oakland and Berkeley along with smaller cities like Livermore, Pleasanton and Walnut Creek. For Jung, who lives in the South Bay, research meant first-time visits to towns like Danville and restaurants like East End in Alameda, a hip spot focused on wood-fired pizza. 'It personally opened my own eyes to some really wonderful places I didn’t know about before,' she said." —San Francisco Chronicle

The Lilliput Press Ltd Mary Cannon's Commonplace Book: An Irish Kitchen
Book SynopsisThese are just a few samples from an eighteenth-century Commonplace Book, passed down the generations from Mary Cannon’s kitchen to her many times great-granddaughter Marjorie Quarton. A Commonplace Book was a scrapbook for sayings, letters, prayers, measurements, or, as in this instance, of recipes. Mary Cannon lived in Dunleary (now Dun Laoghaire) and collected over 120 recipes between 1700 and 1707. They are presented here in sections such as ffishe, ffleshe, Puddings and Deserts, Pickles and Preserves. The visceral vocabulary and archaic spellings of these dishes will refresh our word hoard, while imparting a sumptuous flavour to Ireland’s gastronomic repertoire. Unopened and untried for over 300 years, they form a unique resource for food historians and knights of the dining table. Marjorie Quarton has edited these recipes, commenting on the significance and usage of certain ingredients. She has added fragments of family history, from Jacobite leaders and Huguenot refugees to tales of the Indian Mutiny. The recipes are illustrated by Alice Bouilliez, also a descendent of Mary Cannon.

Book SynopsisThe study of early cookery books can tell the reader much more than just the history of food, or of one particular recipe. As the essays in this collection demonstrate, cookery books can be the source of fascinating information about a whole range of issues, from the use of language, the way that illustrations may be deployed for instructional purposes, or how social change is reflected on the dining tables of a nation. In addition, there are two studies of individual books and their makers, which underline the value of the cookery collections housed in the Brotherton Library of the University of Leeds.

Book SynopsisIndividual chapters reflect the enthusiasm of the contributors and do not cover the fall range of food in Britain. Readers may be inspired to take their own item of food and track its progress through the ages. A single dish can reflect the changing taste of a nation, from the use of a proflision of spices and a mixture of sweet and savoury, to a deliberate limitation of flavours and division of dishes into specific courses. As literacy grew, and printed books became easily affordable, the recipes took in the simpler meals of all classes of society. They also reveal the gradual incorporation of ready-made flavours and thickeners, and the industrial provision of food that leaves little for the cook to do.

Book SynopsisIn an attic packed full of family memorabilia, Bryony Hill unearthed an extraordinary collection – portraits, watercolours, sketches and stories – dating back to the 18th century. Amongst those treasures, she stumbled across her great- and great-great grandmother’s precious recipes – ones that provide a unique glimpse of life in the high noon of the Raj. An Indian Table offers an eclectic range of Anglo-Indian dishes for every course, including curries, pilafs, souffles, pies and puddings. This marvellous medley of cuisines reflects the challenging conditions lived through over 150 years ago, and highlights how food has always played such an intrinsic role in both British and Indian culture.Trade Review‘[The] book is gorgeous – so crammed with lovely illustrations and recipes. It's a delight from start to finish’ -- Joanna Lumley OPE FRGS; ‘This delightful book comprises a mixture of Anglo-Indian recipes, which are both eccentric and entertaining prepared by one family serving in India’ -- Dr Robert Elgood
