Review Simply Lebanese: In Arabic / Garnet Publishing:A beautiful new cookbook, writen entirely in Arabic-Inaâam Atalla introduces us to the exotic flavors and colors of Lebanese cuisine using an abundance of wholesome ingredients, combined with fresh herbs and subtle spices, to make delicious and healthy dishes. This book is the product of her wealth of experience and her desire to dispel the complexities and mysteries surrounding Middle Eastern cookery by using simple techniques and easily available ingredients. With her obvious enthusiasm, the author inspires the reader to attempt a variety of easy-to-follow recipes, from the simplest soup to the more complicated main course, and from traditional recipes such as tabbouleh and kibbeh to the more unusual and creative variations that have been developed by her for the menu at her restaurant. Your level of experience is immaterial: supplemented by beautiful color photography, Inaâamâs anecdotes and tips for the cook create the illusion that this is a personal cookery lesson between author and reader, while the book as a whole remains simply a pleasure to read.

Review Pasta e Verdura: 140 Vegetable Sauces for Spaghetti, Fusilli, Rigatoni, and All Other Noodles / William Morrow Cookbooks:Simple Sauces. Delightful Dishes. A Fresh and Delicious Approach to Vegetable and Pasta Cookery. Pasta e Verdura-"noodles and vegetables"-offers 140 easy and elegant recipes inspired by the healthy, delicious pasta dishes of Italy. Some quick, many low-fat, and more than a few dairy-free, these lively vegetable sauces will transform the way home cooks-and pasta eaters enjoy their favorite food. From A to Z, Jack Bishop pairs these simple and elegant vegetable sauces-Asparagus with Mushrooms and Caramelized Shallots, Leek with White Wine and Parmesan, Stewed Eggplant with Tomatoes and Olives-with the perfect pasta for each sauce. Accompanying the recipes are tips on buying, storing, and preparing each vegetable, as well as Bishop's lively words of wisdom. He also dispels common myths (such as the need for oil in the water or the superiority of store-bought pasta) and suggests a pasta pantry for spur-of-the-moment meals. Pasta e Verdura is a welcome look at cooking and saucing pasta, and is just what busy cooks need to quickly create wholesome, healthy, tasty meals. Pasta e Verdura provides endless ideas for cooks who love pasta, but prefer greens to meats. [+]Yet this is not a health-food book, nor is it a vegetarian's take on Italian cuisine. Rather, Jack Bishop made the astute observation somewhere along the line that Italians, as a consequence of tradition, and of being Italian, eat a lot of different pasta dishes that have absolutely nothing to do with high levels of meat, fat, or dairy. Healthy dishes, in other words. And impossibly delicious. So, starting at the beginning of the alphabet, Bishop gives the reader Braised Artichokes with Tomatoes and Thyme served over linguine-while also explaining how to shop for the best artichokes, how to store them, and how to prep them for cooking. This format is followed for all 27 individual vegetable entries. Arugula is next, right on through to zucchini (Sautéed Zucchini with Lemon, Pine Nuts, and Basil served over fettuccine). Anyone who opines that eating well and living within the parameters of a sensible diet are impossible bedfellows needs this book. The results will be delicious and healthy. -Schuyler Ingle.

Review Pane e Salute: Food and Love in Italy and Vermont / Invisible Cities Press:For the past several years, people passionate about food have been making the trek to Woodstock, Vermont, to visit a unique Italian restaurant and bakery: Pane e Salute, which translates to 'bread and health'. Combing Italy for both rare and traditional recipes, husband and wife Caleb Barber and Deirdre Heekin have brought the flavours and styles of its distinctive regions to their restaurant. Sharing that same food and spirit, this collection of their recipes is more than a cookbook - it is a love affair with a culture, with a way of life. In vignettes taken from their years in Italy, they offer glimpses of a young vibrant Italy: rolling out pizza dough in an ancient hill town at midnight while wild dogs bay in abandoned villages; fogged car windows of an Italian lovers' lane amidst the olive groves near the Villa Ruccellai. The 80 recipes included are every bit as luscious as the memories they share throughout. In Italy, meals are planned in accordance with the seasons; the same is true of each mouth-watering recipe here, all of which are designed to take advantage of the freshest local ingredients. From Baby Peas with Prosciutto in spring to the summer celebration inherent in Roasted Eggplant with Fresh Ricotta, the recipes and anecdotes in this book provide rich sustenance in the best tradition of travel and food writing.

Review Food and Feast in Tudor England / Alan Sutton Publishing,:This book provides a readable overview of Tudor food and eating habits. Chapters cover kitchens and cooking, what people drank, food and health (including Tudor ideas about healthy eating), setting the table and table manners, feasting and banquets. The author shows that dining habits in the sixteenth century were not the same as those of the Middle Ages and that Tudor dining, at least for the wealthier section of the population, was much more sophisticated than it is generally given credit for.
