Review Tough Cookies: Tales of Obsession, Toil and Tenacity from Britain's Kitchen Heavyweights / Profile Books:British food was never renowned for its flair and inventiveness until the 1980s when Marco Pierre White led an extraordinary revolution in British cuisine. Passionate and unpredictable, he inspired many of the top chefs in Britain today. In this insightful book, Simon Wright exposes the revolution for what it was and shows how the passionate idealism of the early years has been compromised. He travels inside the brotherhood of chefs and tells the very distinct tales of Gordon Ramsay, Heston Blumenthal, Shaun Hill, and Marcus Wareing—four men who have risen through the vicious climate of the kitchen to make a special mark. Theirs is an elite band, tough to join, and these are the stories of how they qualified for membership.

Review The Paris Neighborhood Cookbook: Danyel Couet's Guide to the City's Ethnic Cuisines (Cookbooks) / Interlink Books:Chef Danyel Couet's life-long love affair with simple French food began in his paternal grandmother's Parisian kitchen. Here onions gave sweetness to the best of all onion soups, while lentils, asparagus and flavorful sausages were all treated equally lovingly. And the fries! There were no better fries than Grandma's! But of course the gastro polis of Paris offers much more than just the dishes cooked in Grandma's kitchen. After innumerable outings in Paris's many ethnic quarters, he has developed a love for couscous, strudel, and Peking duck that is just as strong as that for boeuf bourguignon and mousse au chocolat. Through eight neighborhoods and just as many kitchens, via markets, shops and restaurants-and approximately 90 recipes-Couet takes you with him to his Paris. Lusciously photographed by David Loftus, The Paris Neighborhood Cookbook reveals the gastronomic secrets of the City of Light, a place where food and cultural diversity is at the center of Parisian life.

Review Cooking by Hand / Clarkson Potter:One of the most respected chefs in the country, Paul Bertolli earns glowing praise for the food at California’s renowned Oliveto restaurant. Now he shares his most personal thoughts about cooking in his long-awaited book, Cooking by Hand. In this groundbreaking collection of essays and recipes, Bertolli evocatively explores the philosophy behind the food that Molly O’Neill of the New York Times described as “deceptively simple, [with] favors clean, deep, and layered more profusely than a mille-feuille. ”From “Twelve Ways of Looking at Tomatoes” to Italian salumi in “The Whole Hog,” Bertolli explores his favorite foods with the vividness of a natural writer and the instincts of a superlative chef. Scattered throughout are more than 140 recipes remarkable for their clarity, simplicity, and seductive appeal, from Salad of Bitter Greens, Walnuts, Tesa, and Parmigiano and Chilled Shellfish with Salsa Verde to Short Ribs Agrodolce and Tagliolini Pasta with Crab. Unforgettable desserts, such as Semifreddo of Peaches and Mascarpone and Hazelnut Meringata with Chocolate and Espresso Sauce, round out a collection that’s destined to become required reading for any food lover. Rich with the remarkable food memories that inspire him, from the taste of ripe Santa Rosa plums and the aroma of dried porcini mushrooms in his mother’s ragu to eating grilled bistecca alla Fiorentina on a foggy late autumn day in Chianti, Cooking by Hand will ignite a passion within you to become more creatively involved in the food you cook.

Review Guy Savoy: Simple French Recipes for the Home Cook / Harry N. Abrams:Guy Savoy, master of haute cuisine and recipient of three Michelin stars, has never forgotten his culinary roots in the Dauphiné region of France, where, as a child, he learned to appreciate the pure flavors of local produce. Today, at his eponymous restaurant in the heart of Paris, he matches the most luxurious with the most simple ingredients to create dishes that are inventive, but still informed by the techniques of classic French cuisine. And when he cooks at home for family and friends, he favors savory seasonal basics. In this, his first cookbook to be published in the United States, Savoy shares his personal repertoire of recipes. These are the simple, tasty dishes the top chef cooks at home. Green Bean Salad with Crème Fraîche, Mediterranean Quiche, Strawberry Clafoutis: As the names suggest, many derive their intense flavor from a single ingredient enhanced by Savoy's expertly selected seasonings. The eighty recipes use seasonal fruits and vegetables, and most are easy to prepare. A handful of special-occasion recipes, like Lamb Stew with Spring Vegetables, and Cheese Soufflé, require a little more effort, but the rewards are worth it.

Review The Landscape of Food: The Food Relationship of Town and Country in Modern Times (Studia Fennica. Historica, 4) / Finnish Literature Society:This book introduces new perspectives on the social history of food by focusing on the food relationships between urban and rural areas in Europe from the late eighteenth century to the present day. The theme is approached by historians, ethnologists and geographers through a series of studies of the Netherlands, Germany, Slovenia, Switzerland, Britain, Finland, Italy, Greece and Norway. The volume examines a multitude of aspects of the urban-rural interface, such as provisioning of cities and towns with fresh foodstuffs, urban food production, and changes in the diet. The Landscape of Food takes readers back to the nineteenth-century town with its commercial cowsheds, cattle markets, piggeries, and market gardens and its self-provisioning from allotments and backyard chicken coops and rabbit hutches. The environmental problems associated with these activities presented targets for veterinary surgeons and public health reformers. The emergence in the twentieth century of industrial provisioning of the towns and the preservation of food, with its branded and heavily advertised goods and increasingly standardised recipes and restaurants is discussed, as is the changing role of the countryside. During the second half of the twentieth century, the provision of meals in the home is shown to have developed from the rationing and privation of the Second World War up to the heating of supermarket products in a microwave oven, while cooking, in some urban societies at least, has been reduced to a form of television entertainment. The reaction to this industrialisation of the diet is also discussed, particularly in terms of the utilisation of 'foods from nature'.

Review BEST OF MODERN BRITISH COOKERY / Grub Street Cookery:British food is going through something of a renaissance. At last we are taking a pride and an interest in our own cooking and our locally sourced ingredients. Much of the credit for this must go to Henrietta Green and her now famous Food Lovers' Fairs as a result a legion of chefs are now championing British dishes with a modern twist. Chefs such as Fergus Henderson, Heston Blumenthal, Paul Heathcote, Martin Lam, Nigel Howarth and Rick Stein all make use of well sourced seasonal local produce and as a result of the quality of these ingredients have created dishes show case them to full advantage, plundering our culinary heritage as inspiration. Sarah Freeman - a cook who is proud rather than ashamed to be British - has skillfully collected together in her book, recipes culled from the new wave of Modern British chefs as well as creating a range of her own recipes in the same spirit. This is a really exciting collection of recipes which captures the present mood perfectly. The basis of the philosophy behind this style of cooking starts with the French word terroir. It means 'soil' but in the context of food means more than just that, it means regionality and culture. So food from a particular area is an expression of the land because it is produced from local ingredients which are suited to the soil and climate of that region and are then transformed into an amazing array of culturally distinctive dishes. There can be no mistaking therefore the home of Baked Trout with Horseradish and Cream, Beetroot and Tomato Soup with Gin, Leek and Derby Sage Tart, Peter Gott's Roast Gloucester Old Spot with Rhubarb and Apple Cheese, Scrag-end of Neck of Herdwick Mutton Stewed with Shiraz or Rhubarb and Walnut Crumble with Ginger. [+]This work is a bible of contemporary British cooking which was first published ten years ago, way ahead of its time then, but it has been revised and updated and is now destined for recognition as a classic.

Review CUISINE NICOISE: Recipes from a Mediterranean Kitchen / Grub Street Cookery:Nice has been part of France only since 1860 - so it is not surprising that its cuisine has no particular affinity with the traditions of the French cuisine. The Nicois cook believes in simplicity, not disguise, eschews rich sauces, nourishes a penchant for fish, fruit and vegetables and appreciates the importance of careful, subtle seasoning. The author, and mayor of Nice, offers an enthusiastic guide to the cookery of his city. As well as explaining how to make genuine salad nicoise (the most betrayed of Nicois dishes), he lures the reader into the world of stockfish, tians, panisses, socca, rabbit with fruit in aspic, stewed pork with capers and gherkins, ganses and Christmas bread.
