Review A Primer of Cooking and Housekeeping / Ross Books:Recommended by Booklist (the American Library Association): "This is a handy book for beginners in life's approach to cooking and household maintenance. the back cover says, "This book tells you what you should have learned from your mother but never did. " Too true among many younger persons today (and mostly their own fault). These basic preparations are in narrative style (a good format to set the novice at ease and install confidence), and economy and leftovers are emphasized. For instance, there is a good bread pudding recipe with ideas for variations. The 25 pages devoted to the house concern mainly clothes (sewing, ironing, washing, maintenance) and floors. 250 basic recipes plus variations - recommended " - Booklist (American Library Association review medium).

Review Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow / William Morrow Cookbooks:Top New York chef and restaurateur Matthew Kenney and his partner, Sarma Melngailis, had been thinking of opening a Moroccan restaurant. But one night they were invited to a raw food restaurant - and it changed their lives. They instead opened Pure Food and Wine, a restaurant devoted to creative, tasty raw food, and it has been drawing rave reviews. Dishes such as Zucchini and Green Zebra Tomato Lasagne, Golden Squash Pasta with Black Summer Truffles, and Dark Chocolate Ganache Tart with Vanilla Cream have given raw food a sexy new appeal. The decision to go raw was shocking at first for these two ex-carnivorous chefs, but they soon found that preparing and eating raw food made them and their guests feel their physical best. Melngailis noticed a difference almost immediately - "Light, clean, natural, and alive foods make you feel light, clean, and more alive. And sexy. " This new way of life has changed their outlook on eating and cooking and connects them to the world around them. As Kenney says, "Raw foods and the lifestyle associated with it are so compelling and complex that we will be forever learning and growing. Already it seems that we have discovered some of the magic that life offers. [+]" In this lushly photographed book, Kenney and Melngailis share some of that magic - and show that preparing and eating raw does not mean bland, unsatisfying, or impossibly time-consuming meals. Using dehydrating, Vita-Mix blending, a nuanced understanding of spices, and unprecedented creativity, they explore a whole new outlook on raw food that transfers beautifully and easily from their kitchen to yours - no matter what your present diet. And you'll immediately begin to reap the benefits of healthful, delicious, life-giving raw food.

Review Renoir's Table / Pavilion Books:This book takes an unusual angle to view one of the masters of Impressionism. We are taken on a visual and culinary tour around late nineteenth-century Paris, and are introduced to the favourite haunts of the Impressionist group, captured in the good-natured festivities of Renoir's painting, "Dejeuner des Canotiers" for example, painted from life in the Restaurant Fournaise in Chatou or we are invited to join the diners on the banks of the Seine, evoking the atmosphere of "The Luncheon of the Boating Party". No one knew better than Renoir how to capture the sensuality and relaxation of the open air, the joy of living on a brilliant summers afternoon. Alongside a selection of Renoirs much-loved paintings we have gastronomic portraits; from Bouillabaisse Provengale to Potage Crecy and Firtures de Goujon, Chicken Renoir or Baked Tomatoes Cezanne, made especially by Madame Renoir, for a visit from the artist to her home. Each recipe is taken from an authentic contemporary source, recreating the feel of turn of the century Paris. Also depicted is Renoir's family life, an essential element in his often hectic career, a life which arrived late into his middle age. The Renoir family spent summers in Essoyes, in the eastern French countryside where the bucolic climate and hospitable style of daily life there is portrayed in ninety colour photographs of the region. Towards the end of his life Renoir was enchanted by this rural environment; featuring an abundance of flowers and olive trees framed by azure skies, captured in his later landscapes. The cast of characters in this bohemian, though sometimes harsh life include a list of the most gifted people of the day, Zola, Manet, and Cezanne as well as minor painters, writers, art dealers, society hostesses, cooks, restaurateurs, maids - all are drawn with loving recall; their stories taken from contemporary letters, and especially Jean Renoirs memoirs which invoke the heady, pleasure-seeking lifestyle which epitomises this fascinating era.

Review Classic Assian Cook Book (Classic Cookbook) / DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley):Make over 200 delicious classic recipes designed for modern cooking techniques from 14 Asian countries. Mouthwatering specialties, including Korean bulgogi, Peking duck, and Malaysian lamb korma are easy to make. Clear step-by-step sequences demonstrate basic skills, and beautiful photographs show finished dishes and ingredients, with suggested substitutions. Full color throughout. If you suddenly have a yen for Bara-Zushi, a passion for Ikan Masak Molek, or a craving for Rogan Josh-don't panic. Run immediately to your local ATM and withdraw enough cash to float a battleship. Call the airlines and book a ticket to Tokyo, Singapore, and Bombay. And in the process, if you develop a hankering for Muc Don Thit, tell your booking agent to throw in a side trip to Hanoi. But remember, this takes obscene amounts of money, time, and a better explanation for your boss than "Sorry I was gone last week, sport. I just had to have some Rempah-Rempah. [+]" A far easier solution, and a good way to avoid those tedious lines in customs, is to pick up a copy of Sri Owen's Classic Asian Cookbook and let her be your tour guide. From Japan to Korea to Vietnam, from China to Thailand, and on into India and the subcontinent, Owen reveals the traditions, characteristic ingredients, and distinctive cooking techniques that are the keys to authentic Asian cuisine. Most of all, her Classic Asian Cookbook eases the intimidation many Western chefs feel when they try to whip up a classic dish like Baak Ging Ap. Well, as it turns out, Baak Ging Ap-what we commonly refer to stateside as Peking Duck-is tasty, surprisingly simple to prepare, and more economical than a trip to China. The book pulls double duty as a cookbook and reference book. The recipes are outstanding, featuring a section on classic dishes that are a perfect introduction to Asian cuisine, and a large section of favorites and more exotic recipes from across the continent. The opening includes an overview of Asian cuisines along with an extensive ingredients guide. For the technique-impaired, there is also a practical, no-nonsense guide to special equipment and techniques for Asian cooking. Highlighting the book are the vibrant photographic guides accompanying many of the recipes. Photographs of individual ingredients offer the perfect road map right to the large color shot of the completed dish, making presentation a snap. Classic Asian Cookbook is a must-have for anyone interested in the wide variety of flavors that make up Asian cooking. Sri Owen provides a great overview of all the major cuisines, along with recipes for classic and favorite dishes from each country. While it might not offer the same adventure as a trip to Jakarta, you'll be able to sample the Kalio Bebek in the comfort of your own kitchen. -Mark O. Howerton.
