Review Japanese Tea Culture: Art, History and Practice / RoutledgeCurzon:From its origins as a distinct set of ritualized practices in the 16th century to its international expansion in the 20th, tea culture has had a major impact on artistic production, connoisseurship, etiquette, food, design and more recently, on notions of Japanese-ness. The authors dispel the myths around the development of tea practice, dispute the fiction of the dominance of aesthetics over politics in tea, and demonstrate that writing history has always been an integral part of tea culture.

Review The British Housewife: or The Cook, Housekeeper's and Gardiner's Companion (set of six volumes) / Prospect Books:This remarkable compendium of cookery, gardening, farriery and medicine - arranged as a monthly calendar - was published in two giant volumes in 1758, having first been offered in 42 weekly parts in 1756 (possibly the first cookery part-work). Martha Bradley writes supremely well; her scheme for the education of the cook and housewife was more thorough than any that had gone before; her recipes, though derivative, are clarity itself. Prospect Books is publishing a facsimile edition, though the length and costs of it determine it should be in more volumes than just two. The first volume will contain the month of January and a long modem introduction by the Anglo-French scholar Gilly Lehmann which ties the book to its sources and discusses its place in eighteenth-century cookery writing. Volume II will contain the months of February and March; further volumes will be published, together with modern discussions of the gardening sections, and full indexes and necessary apparatus, in ensuing months.

Review Kettner's Book of the Table: A Manual of Cookery -- Practical, Theoretical, Historical (The Kegan Paul Library of Culinary History and Cookery) / Kegan Paul:Fashionable restaurants for public dining in the grand manner were a Victorian innovation, and in London there were few to rival that of Auguste Kettner, formerly chef to Napoleon III, who opened his Soho establishment in 1867. Kettner's quickly became renowned for champagne, gaiety and gastronomic delights, attracting the custom of leading members of society, the stage and the literary world including King Edward VII and Oscar Wilde. In 1877, Kettner was persuaded to share the benefit of his skill and knowledge of cookery, and this delightful book is the result. Witty, worldly and wonderfully wise, it is a culinary A to Z - from absinthe to zest - that embraces every Victorian speciality you might want to cook, eat or know about, embellished with anecdotes and gossip. There are recipes aplenty, given in the narrative style of the period, but this is much more than a cookbook - it is an intimate look at late Victorian and Edwardian society life in its privileged heyday.

Review Culinary Landmarks: A Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825-1949 (Studies in Book and Print Culture) / University of Toronto Press:~Culinary Landmarks is a definitive history and bibliography of Canadian cookbooks from the beginning, when La cuisinière bourgeoise was published in Quebec City in 1825, to the mid-twentieth century. Over the course of more than ten years Elizabeth Driver researched every cookbook published within the borders of present-day Canada, whether a locally authored text or a Canadian edition of a foreign work. Every type of recipe collection is included, from trade publishers’ bestsellers and advertising cookbooks, to home economics textbooks and fund-raisers from church women’s groups. The entries for over 2,200 individual titles are arranged chronologically by their province or territory of publication, revealing cooking and dining customs in each part of the country over 125 years. Full bibliographical descriptions of first and subsequent editions are augmented by author biographies and corporate histories of the food producers and kitchen-equipment manufacturers, who often published the books. Driver’s excellent general introduction sets out the evolution of the cookbook genre in Canada, while brief introductions for each province identify regional differences in developments and trends. Four indexes and a ‘Chronology of Canadian Cookbook History’ provide other points of access to the wealth of material in this impressive reference book. ~.

Review The World Cookbook for Students [Five Volumes] / Greenwood Press:The student body in the United States is ever more diverse, and librarians have a major new resource to help them with the frequent requests from students who have assignments that include finding ethnic recipes. This 5-volume cookbook set is directly related to the middle school and high school multicultural curricula. It will be the source to turn to for multicultural, immigration, and foreign language units. The World Cookbook for Students fills a demand for more and different recipes for most countries and many ethnic groups. Many librarians still cling to an old Time-Life set, and this new set aims to replace that. Although there are many cookbooks out there and many recipes are available on the Internet, not all are geared to students, and no in-print sets or series match this depth. The volumes are organized alphabetically by country or group name. Each entry includes a brief introduction to the land and people and their cuisine and then an overview of the foodstuffs, typical dishes, and styles of eating in simple bulleted lists. Approximately 5 recipes are provided per country/ethnic group of typical dishes and holiday fare, for a total of 1,198. Each recipe is introduced and contextualized. [+]Other elements include boxed material to highlight such things as a regional staple, thumbnail maps and illustrations, an introduction to the set, a bibliography with print and online resources, and a set index in each volume.

Review Grand Livre de Cuisine: Alain Ducasse's Desserts and Pastries / "Stewart, Tabori and Chang":In this magnificent volume, the second in the Grand Livre de Cuisine series, celebrated chefs Alain Ducasse and Frédéric Robert comprehensively cover the art of making desserts, pastries, candy, and other sweets. Everything is here— mousses and fondants; cookies and cakes; ice creams and sorbets; bonbons and nougats; fruit tarts, profiteroles, and sweet crèpes. The book’s 250 mouth-watering recipes range from traditional treats such as peach melba, candied apples, and oeufs à la neige to audacious concoctions such as tropical fruit– stuffed ravioli and coconut-encrusted lollipops. Decidedly French yet international in flavor, the book presents the authors’ masterful takes on American cheesecake; Italian cannolis, zuppa inglese, and tiramisù; and the Austrian confections known as viennoiseries. Organized by main ingredient, the Grand Livre’s structure epitomizes Ducasse’s philosophy of cooking and baking, which holds that culinary techniques should accentuate and enhance an ingredient’s true nature—not mask it. The book features more than 650 color photographs, including a full-page, close-up photo of each finished dish. Cross-sectional drawings clearly display the internal “architecture” of some of the more complex creations.

Review The Ni'matnama Manuscript of the Sultans of Mandu: The Sultan's Book of Delights (Routledgecurzon Studies in South Asia) / RoutledgeCurzon:The Ni'matnama is a late fifteenth-century book of recipes written for the Sultan of Mandu, in what is now Madhya Pradesh, India. It contains recipes for cooking a variety of delicacies and epicurean delights, as well as providing remedies and aphrodisiacs for Nasir ad-Din Shah of Mandu and his court. The text provides a unique account of courtly life in a fifteenth century Indian Sultanate and documents a fascinating stage in the history of Indian cookery. There is only one copy of The Sultan's Book of Delights in existence, held in the Oriental and India Office Collections of the British Library (BL-Persian 149). The book manuscript is illustrated with fifty elegant miniature paintings, most of which show showing the Sultan observing the women of his court as they prepare and serve him various dishes. These illustrations are important historical art documents in their own right. Painted in a distinctive Shirazi (Southern Iranian) style, they are also stylistically influenced by indigenous styles of book painting found in Central and Western India, and are the earliest known example of miniature painting in an Islamic Deccani style. For the first time, a facsimile of the original text is reproduced for a scholarly audience. Norah Titley, formerly assistant keeper, Oriental Collections at the British Library, has masterfully translated this unique book.
