Princeton University Press Cooking for Crowds
Book SynopsisShares all the ingenious tricks that the author learned as a young Harvard graduate student earning her way through school as a caterer to European scholars, heads of state, and cosmopolitans like Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.Trade Review"[Merry White's] book, made up of recipes she collected as the caterer for the Harvard Center for European Studies, suggested a new way of entertaining, with self-serve spanakopita, petite shrimp quiche and that savior of the anxious cook, the casserole that can be made a day ahead. Edward Koren's woolly illustrations set the tone: vegetables are our friends, and food tastes best in groups. Even though pesto and vindaloo are no longer exotic, during the holidays her attitude (and her meatballs) may be what every stressed-out host needs."--Alexandra Lange, New York Times "Not just enormously charming but useful, full of sturdy recipes that can still seem mildly exotic no matter how much we flatter ourselves at the sophistication of our palates... This is more, that is, than an artifact of Brooklyn avant la lettre. It's full of practical dishes and tricks you'll call your own, like tossing fresh-roasted almonds in maple syrup to serve on ice cream."--Corby Kummer, The Atlantic "Recipes ahead of the curve 40 years ago--dirty rice, pork vindaloo--remain au courant; others--Swedish meatballs, Charlotte Malakoff au chocolat--exude a retro '70s vibe that's also au courant. Prep details for six, 12, 20 and 50 servings of each recipe are provided. Practical advice abounds, including not to multiply powerful spices like other ingredients... [Cooking for Crowds] remains a boffo resource for those hankering to make chicken Bengal for 12 or baklava for 50."--Anne Kingston, Maclean's "If you're looking for a cookbook that will help you serve a crowd this holiday season, this is a great book for you with plenty of variety. If you're wanting an interesting read about food culture changes, this is also interesting, seeing how commonplace some 'exotic' ingredients from the 70s are now."--Amy Phelps, News and Sentinel "Charmingly illustrated with impish anthropomorphized vegetables and critters by cartoonist Edward Koren. No-nonsense, unusually useful recipes with amounts for 6, 12, 20, or--unlucky you--50 portions."--Heller McAlpin, Barnes and Noble Review "Cooking for Crowds by Merry White ... brings friendly exuberance to the subject of cooking for large numbers that has made me think that, actually, it might be kind of cool to feed a crowd-pleasing lasagne to 50."--Bee Wilson, Telegraph "The reasons to re-issue the book are tied not only to burgeoning popularity of thematic cook books and culinary memoirs, but also the current healthy eating and nutritional guidelines, which favor hearty vegetables and whole grains (although not butterfat), included in these soups, stews, and salads. Each recipe is a satisfying construction on its own, with suggestions for variations or substitutions in ingredients; with a brief account of its role(s) in a fully satisfying meal."--Ellen Messer, FoodAnthropology "[T]his is a beautifully presented book with an oversized format and fab illustrations by Edward Koren."--Esther N McCarthy "[T]his is a thoroughly delightful and accessible source of food inspiration for catering creatively for large groups. Cookery clubs and caterers, no matter the size, should definitely bear this one in mind."--Lois Henderson, Bookpleasures.com "Simply stated, no community library cookbook collection can be considered complete without the inclusion of a copy of Merry White's Cooking For Crowds."--James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review "A genius book that makes cooking for large numbers easy."--Choice Magazine "[I]t ticks all the boxes. The recipes look great, but mostly the author sounds like somebody I'd love to have dinner with. There are no photos, which is more than fine, as it has lots of sweet black and white drawings by Edward Koren."--Lobster SquadTable of ContentsForeword by Darra Goldstein ix Introduction to the New Edition xvi Introduction to the First Edition xxiii Pots, Pans, and Utensils xxvii Herbs and Spices xxxi Conversion xxxiv Acknowledgments xxxv Soups and Starters 1 Main Dishes 43 Vegetables and Side Dishes 117 Desserts 141 List of Illustrations 171 Index 173

Workman Publishing The 12Bottle Bar
Book Synopsis It’s a system, a tool kit, a recipe book. Beginning with one irresistible idea--a complete home bar of just 12 key bottles--here’s how to make more than 200 classic and unique mixed drinks, including sours, slings, toddies, and highballs, plus the perfect Martini, the perfect Manhattan, and the perfect Mint Julep. It’s a surprising guide--tequila didn’t make the cut, and neither did bourbon, but genever did. And it’s a literate guide--describing with great liveliness everything from the importance of vermouth and bitters (the “salt and pepper” of mixology) to the story of a punch bowl so big it was stirred by a boy in a rowboat. Trade Review"It's the bane of the home mixologist -- complicated cocktail recipes that call for multiple (and often pricey) esoteric liquors doomed to be used once, then linger for years at the back of the cabinet. Convinced there had to be a better way to stock a bar, Lesley Jacobs Solmonson and husband David Solmonson set out to cull the cocktail herd and home in on only the most essential ingredients for great drinking." - J.M. Hirsch, Associated Press "Starting a home bar from scratch can be daunting and expensive... With the right selection, you can keep your stash simple and still be able to make just about every cocktail you could imagine." - Brooklynmagazine "Make enough cocktails to last you a lifetime. Limited to only seven spirits, one liqueur, two vermouths and two styles of bitters, you will indeed have a collection that in many ways will exceed most typical bars around the country." - Good Spirits News "Here's to smart barkeeping: Make hundreds of cocktails from a mere dozen bottles." - Cooking Light "A great home bar is an abridged one... The 12 Bottle Bar offers tips on stocking enough liquor to keep your cocktail list large but your investment small." - Los Angeles magazine "An innovative idea." -Town & Country "Covers the bases of modern cocktail making thoroughly." - Kindred Cocktails "Maximum cocktail potential from just a few bottles." - Liquor.com "The perfect precursor to a establishing a successful home or cafe beverage program." - Fresh Cup "How many cocktails could you make using just 12 bottles without sacrificing flavor, technique, or creativity? The answer: enough to give your local molecular mixologist a run for his money." - Publishers Weekly--AP

Is it odd to read a recipe book as if it were a novel?"?-San Diego Magazine "Who it's for: The home bartender that can't decide on what to drink. This book has a little bit of everything, and with eye-catching photos, you'll want it all."?-Epicurious.com "Individuality is part of this book's charm, much like its ode to an underappreciated ingredient, Dubonnet. The greater success of The New Cocktail Hour is its ability to be many things to a variety of readers and still stand out from the pile of cocktail copycats as both useful and different." ?-The Philadelphia Inquirer "The New Cocktail Hour can help you choose a drink with confidence... Elevate your craft with DIY bitters, the right tools and glassware, no-fail cocktail ratios and the art of the garnish, all explained in this latest cocktail book. It may be new, but it is destined to be a classic." ?-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Sized to fit on a shelf in your bar, the book has a slightly snarky, humorous tone that makes it an easy read. And the fascinating bits of history will make great cocktail party fodder. ... This new volume is a suitable gift for a recent college grad with a taste for craft cocktails."?-The Virginian-Pilot "The lavishly photographed book is quite the entertaining read, but its smaller format means that it belongs on the shelf with your liquor, not on the coffee table. As a witty guide to the history and practice of making great cocktails, The New Cocktail Hour is a great addition to the canon of spirits writing." ?-Nashville Scene

Rowman & Littlefield Alices Cookbook New Voices in Food
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewI’m going to cut to the chase and announce right off the bat that I have a lot of heart for Alice’s Cookbook. . . .The collection of recipes continue to inspire and motivate me in the kitchen. In fact, I’m having a hard time putting it aside and have a number of recipes earmarked to make in the near future. Each section of the book contains a collection of recipes for a particular menu (e.g. spring breakfast for six on the weekend) and provides make ahead suggestions to help avoid that dreaded last minute rush in the kitchen. I really appreciated the fluidity with which the recipes are written. . . .Alice include all of the relevant detail one looks for in a recipe, but keeps it open to interpretation in a way that really makes you feel in control of the dish as if you are co-creating it together. It’s more of a guide, leaving room for your natural culinary instincts to take charge. . . .Two thumbs up from me! * CookThatBook *“I love this book. I love everything about it: the recipes, the tone and, as importantly, Alice’s warmth.”—Sophie Dahl, author of Miss Dahl’s Voluptuous Delights “Thoroughly modern and irresistible recipes. Full of meals for good times with friends. Makes you hungry just reading it.”—Diana Henry, author of Pure Simple Cooking “Alice’s Cookbook brings the food of hip London chef Alice Hart to our shores, with an emphasis on dishes that are seasonal, crowd-friendly and uncomplicated. Hart . . . pairs flavors that make sense; they make complete palettes. . . . A relatively inexperienced, 30-something cook can pull off Hart’s recipes and will appreciate [their] modern sensibility.” —Washington Post “A cookbook filled with recipes to nourish a busy lifestyle. [Alice Hart provides] easy-to-follow menus and recipes for seasonal lunches, portable breakfasts, and parties, among other occasions. . . . For readers too busy to cook or those simply seeking fresh and tasty ideas.”—Kirkus Reviews“Alice Hart . . . should feel very proud of what she’s done. This is a compact paperback volume which is just the right size to carry around and study to tab all the great recipes. I try to test each book I own with at least one recipe, and for this one, it was the brownies. She boasted they are the best ever, and my husband concurs! The rest of the book is laid out around occasions in which you might prepare a certain meal– picnic, around the fire, Sundays, etc. I found this organization to be helpful not just for thinking of meal planning, but also in getting into narrative of the book and feeling as though I could relate to Alice’s lifestyle and how food fits into it. Some of the recipes are a bit involved, but every so often, it’s good to make an extra effort in the kitchen. I really like this book, a lot. With superb photography by Emma Lee, it is definitely on my list of favorites!”—mattbites.com
