Review Raclette: The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining / Raclette Australia:Winter ideal for Raclette As the raclette meal was invented in the alpine regions of Switzerland, winter is the ideal time to try raclette. This book will take a novice and make a true expert out of her in all things raclette. Other books on this topic fail by assuming the reader to know about raclette, but The Insider's Guide to the Secret World of Raclette Dining starts at the very beginning. It is the only book on raclette originally written in English (not translated like "the other book" in all three incarnations!) The first part looks at raclette's relationship with fondue and also answers the question why fondue became so famous outside Switzerland while raclette remained a well-kept secret for over 500 years and what the Swiss are doing right now to try to keep it a secret. The recipe section is full of inspirational recipes that you really want to try. Packed with serving suggestions and which cheeses are ideal for raclette melting. Recipes included: Traditional Raclette, Mini-Hamburgers, Raclette a la Pizza, Camembert with Cranberries, Spinach filled Crepes plus many dessert options. Brilliantly composed with colour photographs for every recipe, the book is the ideal companion to the modern table top Raclette grill. Showcasing the various ways that you can enjoy raclette from the traditional Swiss style to the way the French or the Dutch like to serve it. In August 2007 Leelanau Cheese Company won the Best of Show Award from the American Cheese Society for their Aged Raclette cheese, recognising it as the best cheese in the USA in 2007. [+]While this fact happened after the book was printed, it contains a lot of other top rated information even experts want to know. This book is the only book in English that actually contains the traditional raclette recipe itself as well as the modern variations. It does not waste valuable space for drink recipes or fills up the last third with salad recipes (or puts a pumpkin salad on the cover!) like other books on this topic. It is the only book in English offered directly by Amazon and of such high quality that you will not find used or discounted copies. The book is written, printed, bound and published in Australia by the internationally recognised experts from Raclette Australia. Get it now for yourself and another for a friend as a great Christmas present!.

Review Food Culture in Italy (Food Culture around the World) / Greenwood Press:There is keen interest in the exquisite yet simple Italian cuisine and Italian culture. This volume provides an intimate look at how Italians cook, eat, and think about food today. It describes the cornucopia of foodstuffs and classic ingredients. An overview of the typical daily routine of meals and snacks gives a good feel for the everyday life. The changing roles of women are explored with a discussion of the inroads that convenience foods are making. In addition, the current concerns about the food supply, the benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and the slow food movement are tied in to the debates on these issues in the United States. Food is one of the main reasons why many Americans travel to Italy. Yet, the fascination with Italian cuisine is not all about health or taste. There is much more to it. Italian food is perceived and portrayed in the media as representing a whole lifestyle: Italians live la dolce vita, leisurely eating and drinking with friends and families, families are still important, and communities are close knit. [+]The reality of Italian society is more complex, and this volume offers a balanced view of Italian culture and identity through its foodways.

Review Food and Memories of Abruzzo: The Pastoral Land / John Wiley & Sons:From the Introduction: "Years ago, at the beginning of my culinary career, I wanted to write a cookbook on Abruzzo, my native region of Italy, a land of colorful festivals, brooding traditions, gargantuan banquets, and ancient superstitions, where the accidental spilling of oil is a sure sign of tragedy. I also wanted to share the experience of growing up in a family of good cooks where food was an expression of love and caring…. Many dishes from Abruzzo, such as maccheroni alla chitarra ("guitar" macaroni), brodetto di pesce (fish stew), and porchetta (roast pig), have, of course, traveled. But most of them are still the treasured secrets of families. They travel no further than the next generation…. My family gave me a passion for food. The rituals that were practiced in my grandmother's kitchen are still with me. All this has remained part of my life, and cooking for family and friends is a constant joy for me. To celebrate and make people happy are the reasons why I wrote this book. " Praise for Anna Teresa Callen's Menus for Pasta: "A culinary gem for everyone who wants to bring the true flavor of Italy into their home. [+]" —Paula Wolfert, author of Mediterranean Grains and Greens "Of course one can eat pasta as a main course. It is how my mother would serve us pasta every Wednesday and Sunday when I was a boy. And this wonderful evocative book richly demonstrates that pasta can indeed be the centerpiece of an elegant meal. Bravo pasta, brava Anna Teresa!" —Fred Feretti, columnist for Gourmet magazine Forte e Gentile, strong and gentle, is the motto of Abruzzo, the Italian province east of Rome that stretches from the towering Apennine Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. Anna Teresa Callen, in Food and Memories of Abruzzo, is most engaging as she shares stories of her life and presents the varied food of this little-known part of Italy where she grew up and still spends much of her time. Callen composes a symphony of sounds and aromas to surround the recipes in this memoir-cum-cookbook, describing how her grandmother, cutting pasta for pastina "into tiny dots, made a tic-tac sound with her knife," and recounting how the "pungent smell of coffee wafting from the kitchen" woke her from her daily summer siesta. Old photos from family albums add to Callen's vivid memories. Using Callen's recipes, you can recreate Maccheroni alla Chitarra, the Abruzzese "square spaghetti" some Italian restaurants in the U. S. and elsewhere now serve, and robust Porchetta, sublimely succulent spit-roasted pork served with its crackling, mahogany skin, as well as the colorful fish stew Brodetto di Pesce, which her father used to make, and L'sagne, a flour-and-water pasta unique to Abruzzo. In a balancing act, Callen gives recipes for simple dishes perfect for today's cooks along with more complicated regional specialties and spectacular holiday dishes. Her guidance for making La Cicerchiata, an ancient dessert made for Mardi Gras by assembling honey-soaked "chick peas" of fried dough, whole almonds, and candied fruit into a colorful ring, is as clear as her directions for Mozzarella all'Erbette, a combination of sliced cheese dressed with a puree of fresh herbs and capers that can be put together in minutes. Callen crams this book with basic culinary advice and a wealth of information about the Italian kitchen, demystifying the differences between salsa, sugo, and ragu, for example, and advising how to make smooth polenta using cold liquid. In all, this is an exceptional volume for cooks, Italophiles, and anyone who likes a good story. -Dana Jacobi.

Review Food Culture in Great Britain (Food Culture around the World) / Greenwood Press:Students, Anglophiles, and literature hounds will want to delve into this delightful survey of foodways of a culture both ancient and cutting edge. Only in recent years have modern kitchen conveniences become taken for granted all over Britain. British cooking has also made tremendous strides lately, and the changes in shopping and food options, preparation, restaurant-going, and diet are detailed. The cooking traditions and classic dishes for which Britain is known are described as well, as they still help to define the people. Commercialization and globalization are shown to characterize British foodways today. For instance, Britain's regionalism is eroding. Health and environmental issues such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy have come to the fore. Television cook shows are all the rage. Women working outside the home and the increase in single-parent households fuel the demand for quick and pre-prepared meals. The trends are well supported by statistics. [+]A timeline, glossary, and resource guide enhance the narrative.
