Feast of a Lifetime or Hungry for Comfort

Feast of a Lifetime: Sara's Story

Author: Nadine Leonard

Feast of a Lifetime is a cookbook written in the form of a biography. As the title implies, the book contains a unique collection of recipes and cooking tips that will assist the culinary enthusiast in preparing a diverse repertoire of fabulous international dishes. The recipes emphasize Italian cooking, as they were accumulated by two generations of Italian women.

The narrative tells the story of one of those women, the author's mother, Sara, who faced extraordinary challenges as a young adult. By the age of 25, Sara's mother had passed away, her son had been born with problems, her husband was unfaithful, and she had become the sole caretaker of her paralyzed father. With Sara's courage, combined with her sense of adventure and humor, she overcame those challenges to lead a fascinating life. Sara was lost in a revolution in Baghdad, lived in a haunted house in Brazil, and was later caught in an avalanche in Peru. With these and many other stories, the title of the book takes on a secondary meaning: Sara's lifetime itself was a feast--a feast of experiences.

Party Fun!

Author: New Holland

Now parents can find all the answers for preparing and holding memorable birthday parties for their kids! This guide takes you through every planning stage step-by-step, from making the invitations to choosing a theme and providing entertainment. The 20 inspiring party ideas include Plundering Pirates, Teddy’s Picnic, Skateboard Extreme, Funky Fashion Sleepover, Tenpin Bowling, Witches and Wizards, Boys’ Night Out, and Dolly’s Tea Party. Each celebration includes invitations, treat bags, food, party cake, and entertainment suggestions, and can be adapted to suit almost any age group. Many can be tailored to fit other special occasions, such as Valentine’s Day or Halloween gatherings. Illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, these creative festivities are so easy to arrange that children can be involved with many of the preparations.

Children's Literature

This is the ultimate themed party how-to book. It is sure to induce humility in all of us who are tempted to just take the birthday kids to Chuckie Cheese and be done with it. Every party plan in this handsome, oversized, paperback guide includes full color photos galore (150) to show you how to produce stunning parties—beginning with invitations, party decor, and treat bags. Directions then move along to four recipes for party food, four games or activities with directions, and a stunning cake. Party plans (twenty) include "Baby's First Birthday," "Plundering Pirates" (my favorite), "Hearty Party" (Valentine-y), "Teddy's Picnic," "Skateboard Extreme," "Funky Fashion Sleepover," "Tenpin Bowling," "Boys' Night Out," "Dolly's Tea Party," "Travel to Toyland," "Bling Bling Beads," "Wintry Wishes," "Chocolate Factory," "Mesmerizing Mermaids," "First Day at School," "Upside Down Back to Front" (this is a great idea-filled party—hot dogs on the outside of the buns), "Wrestling Fever," "Career Capers" (good for a graduate), and last but not least, "Ballet." An index of recipes, a set of templates for cakes and cookies, and a nice introduction round out this extravagantly illustrated book of archetypal parties. It is very British, with some mystifying ingredients like "Prestik" and "Edible glitter" and I am still puzzled where you get those black candy cannonballs for the pirate party and Marie biscuits that show up in about a third of the recipes. Jenny Dodd is also author of Party Ideas For Children. Since the Family Fun Parties: 100 Party Plans for Birthdays, Holidays, and Every Day by Deanna F. Cook seems to have gone out of print, the next best comparable title isSharron Krull's That Was the Best Party Ever! How to Give Birthday Parties Kids Will Never Forget () and Mike Artell and Pam Schiller's Parties Kids Love () which I always admired because it included children's book titles that tie to each archetypally themed party, and as we all will agree, books are the most important gift of all and the only ones you can open again and again.

Edible Ideologies or Gardeners Table

Edible Ideologies: Representing Food and Meaning

Author: Kathleen LeBesco

Edible Ideologies argues that representations of food-in literature and popular fiction, cookbooks and travel guides, war propaganda, women's magazines, television and print advertisements-are not just about nourishment or pleasure. Contributors explore how these various modes of representation, reflecting prevailing attitudes and assumptions about food and food practices, function instead to circulate and transgress dominant cultural ideologies. Addressing questions concerning whose interests are served by a particular food practice or habit and what political ends are fulfilled by the historical changes that lead from one practice to another in Western culture, the essays offer a rich historical narrative that moves from the construction of the nineteenth-century English gentleman to the creation of two of today's iconic figures in food culture, Julia Child and Martha Stewart. Along the way, readers will encounter World War I propaganda, Holocaust and Sephardic cookbooks, the Rosenbergs, German tour guides, fast food advertising, food packaging, and chocolate, and will find food for thought on the meanings of everything from camembert to Velveeta, from salads to burgers, and from tikka masala to Campbell's soup.

Gardener's Table: A Guide to Natural Vegetable Growing and Cooking

Author: Richard Merrill

In an indispensable book that will be a godsend for any home gardener or fresh-food enthusiast, noted horticulturist Richard Merrill and award-winning cookbook author Joe Ortiz (of "Village Baker" fame) team up to deliver the ultimate, no-nonsense, down-to-earth, simple-to-use guidebook to cooking from a kitchen garden. 50 recipes.

Library Journal

The natural link between kitchen gardening and cooking is seamlessly conveyed by Merrill, who directs the horticultural department at Cabrillo College, and Ortiz, who wrote the award-winning The Village Baker: Classic Regional Breads from Europe and America. Assuming nothing, they start with basic instructions for designing a garden and outfitting a proper kitchen. Organic methods--for building the soil, starting and growing vegetables, and controlling pests--dominate the book, but the authors also include instructions for using fresh produce and recipes for condiments, stock, and vegetable dishes. Finally, a "Grow-It & Cook-It Compendium" conveniently lists vegetables by plant family, culinary uses, botanical name, detailed growing information, and harvesting and storage tips. This book isn't as extensive as Anna Pavord's classic, The New Kitchen Garden (DK, 1996), which includes fruit and herb information, but it's still a good general guide.

Rediscovering Rikyu and the Beginnings of the Japanese Tea Ceremony

Author: Herbert Plutschow

Rediscovering Rikyu presents the first comprehensive, book-length study of the celebrated Japanese tea master Rikyu (1522-91), considered the father of the Japanese Tea Ceremony (cha-no-yu). For the first time, Rikyu's tea is considered as a profoundly important political as well as a socio-religious ritual in response to the dramatic changes taking place in the country at large: the hundred-year civil war -- Sengoku or Warring States period -- was finally coming to an end and the process of political unification under the strong military leadership of Oda Nobunaga (1534-82) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-98) had begun. A key focus of the book is the author's research into why Rikyu's tragic suicide was a necessary outcome of the emerging conflict between ritual, art and politics. The study also provides remarkable insights into a sixteenth-century Japanese sense of beauty commonly called wabi -- a simple, often austere beauty displayed in tea to unite host and guests as equals. In addition, Rediscovering Rikyu provides new and interesting insight into what links Rikyu's wabi tea with Zen Buddhism and ultimately to ritual and the state.

Burst of Flavor: The Fine Art of Cooking with Spices

Author: Kusuma Cooray

"In Burst of Flavor: The Fine Art of Cooking with Spices, Chef Cooray combines the foods of her South Asian childhood (spicy curries, fresh vegetables and fruits, curd, treacle) with her later discoveries as a culinary student in Europe (ripe cheeses, wine, crusty breads, creme fraiche) in new and imaginative ways. Throughout her diverse culinary education and experiences, Chef Cooray's love of spices and herbs never diminished. This compilation of more than 200 recipes showcases her bold use of fresh herbs and spices, from the familiar (nutmeg, fennel, saffron, basil) to the exotic (burnet, ajowan, mace, neem)." "Several dishes - a caviar and blini appetizer created for Rudolf Nureyev, a soup celebrating a visit by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - are accompanied by lively anecdotes. Chef Cooray also provides some food history and serving suggestions. Richard Field contributes guidelines for wine selection and makes recommendations for ten specially selected recipes. A glossary explains the characteristics and origin of the spices and herbs used in the recipes."--BOOK JACKET.

New and Easy Method of Cookery

Author: Elizabeth Cleland

"Elizabeth Cleland was a cook and teacher of cookery in Georgian Edinburgh. Her New and Easy Method of Cookery was published in 1755 and is the second printed recipe book published in Scotland the same year of its publication, Lady Margaret Home of Wedderburn suffered a paralytic stroke and was looking for a companion to look after her, the household, and her three grown-up sons, still living at home. Her choice fell on Christina Home, her niece, who seems to have been trained for this task by attending Elizabeth Cleland's School for Young Ladies in Edinburgh and it was her copy of A New and Easy Method of Cookery that was kept in the library of Wedderburn Castle after her death in 1772. Christina Home's cousin, of course, was the builder of Paxton House. How suitable, therefore, that this facsimile should be printed to celebrate the restoration of the kitchen at Paxton House which must have resounded to the very instructions that we read printed on the pages here." Peter Brear's introduction makes plain some of the essential characteristics of Scottish cookery at this time: in other words, that it was predominantly English. But Cleland's work, although not including endless specifically 'Scottish' dishes, does have very much a Scottish feel to it - in the language, in the implements used, and in the weights and measures. All in all, this is essential reading for anyone interested in the domestic history of 18th-century Scotland.

A stinulating new cookbook featuring exotic dishes from countries as diverse as Tahiti, Peru, Armenia, Mexico, India, Russia, and Japan-to name just a few.

Publishers Weekly

In a carefully prepared and often enticing collection, the author of Chinese Kosher Cooking adapts international dishes to the American palate and to kosher dietary restrictions. Veal (instead of pork) scrapple, chicken Kiev stuffed with pareve margarine seasoned with parsley and dill, and seafood-free paella are typical of recipes avoiding prohibited foods or food combinations. Cooks following kosher guidelines who want to try some new flavors will find much to enjoy in the recipes and in the discussions opening each chapter. From Europe there is cottage cheese ``strudel,'' cream of mushroom soup and broccoli with garlic sauce. Basted herb-and-spice chicken, duck in pomegranate sauce, and nut rolls in honey syrup originate in the Middle East. Asia and the Pacific Islands contribute spicy vegetable fritters, fish marinated in lime and macadamia-nut pie, while the Americas offer fried tortillas with cheese, salmon with cream dressing and hot blueberry pudding. Illustrated. (February)

Library Journal

Goldberg, author of Chinese Kosher Cooking , now tackles global cuisine, and does an admirable job. In sections on Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Islands, and the Americas, she includes international recipes for dishes not usually found in kosher cookbooks. Thoughtful and informed background information is given with each recipe, and while a few dishes seem a bit too Americanized, her kosher adaptations make good sense. Recommended. JS

In this, the third volume of David Larkin's Country series, the author takes the country lover or property owner beyond the house, grounds, and gardens to the forest and uncultivated open spaces. With an artist's eye for the right image and a unique way with words, Larkin educates and inspires. Whether the subject is wildflowers and how they tell the time of day; wild food (complete with recipes)--from fruits and nuts to weeds and mushrooms; or wild animals and how to identify their tracks in snow or earth, Larkin brings to all these and more an infectious love for living with nature and its ways.

Traditional Gardening magazine praised Country's Wisdom's "fascinating bits of history, lore, practical advice and other interesting information wrapped into a lyric text that forms a paean to country living." Country magazine placed it at "the top of our wish list...like a letter from a knowledgeable friend whose reflections and observations can by turns amaze and amuse." The same is certainly true of Country Wild.

Alcohol Gender and Culture or Single Malt Whiskey

Alcohol, Gender and Culture

Author: Gefou Madianou

Europeans constitute twelve and a half percent of the world's population but consume fifty percent of the recorded world production of alchohol. The role of alcohol sometimes social, sometimes ceremonialplays a significant role in the cultural, religious and social identities of these countries. The majority of studies on alcohol have ignored the importance of cultural variation.

In Alcohol, Gender and Culture, the contributors show how different groups define the proper use of alcohol, how state policies may affect drinking behavior, highlighting how beverages and combustibles must be seen in relation to each other. From this it is shown how important socio-cultural distinctions are made between and within ethnic groups, socio-economic groups, genders and religious ideologies. What one drinks, how one drinks, with whom, and where all influence not only how alcoholic substances are perceived, but how social relations are experienced as well.

Alcohol,Gender and Culture presents material from Greece, Spain, France, Hungary, Sweden and Ireland to show how the social construction of drinking may provide an analytical tool with which to approach different socio-cultural groups. The contributors demonstrate how any cultural group can be compared to another through its attitudes to alcohol. Alcohol, Gender and Culture is an invaluable reading for students and scholars of anthropology, cultural history and gender studies.
