Review Today's Cooking With Chef Pasquale: Quick and Easy Recipes from Television's Popular Chef / Warwick Publishing:

Television's famous singing chef combines the efficiency and variety of a modern North America kitchen with the timeless flair of classic Italian cuisine. This book captures the remarkable personality of Pasquale Carpino, the popular chef who sings tenor arias while preparing wonderful meals. "When people see my television program, they often ask me why I sing when I am cooking. To me singing a beautiful song and preparing a beautiful recipe are the same. They both give us a chance to find happiness in creativity and to share that joy with others. In music there is an infinity - an endless number of combinations of notes and harmonies which will produce original and lovely melodies. So it is with cooking. The chef is like a composer, creating new recipes and adapting old ones to express the individuality which is found in each of us. " Today's Cooking with Chef Pasquale includes his favorite recipes: * Fresh Preserves * Sauces and Condiments * Antipasto * Soups and Broth * Rice and Grains * Pasta * Fish and Shellfish * Poultry and Game * Meat Dishes (beef, veal, lamb, pork) * Egg Dishes * Vegetable Side Dishes and Entrees * Salads and Dressings * Desserts. The book includes a glossary of cooking terms and ingredients and a comprehensive index.

Review Myrtle Allen's Cooking at Ballymaloe House / Gill & Macmillan Ltd:

Myrtle Allen's restaurant at Ballymaloe House, a Georgian manor-turned-hotel in South West Ireland, has won awards from Michelin and Egon Ronay's Luca guide. The chef, Allen, established its reputation by reviving traditional Irish dishes, such as Irish stew, dingle pie and Irish apple cake. Devided into chapters on appetizers, soups, fish, meat, vegetables, salads, desserts and breads, this book includes 100 recipes. Myrtle Allen's Cooking at Balymaloe House, first published in 1990 and now reissued, is a modern classic. Written by the proprietor and chef of Ireland's most famous guesthouse, the book presents a farm-fresh cuisine miles removed from the common notion of Irish cooking as savorless or indelicate. Most especially, it offers the voice, recollections, and culinary wisdom of a woman who has seen and understood much since she and her husband bought Balymaloe House in 1947. Cooks of all kinds will delight in Allen's observations (of her refusal to put carrots in a traditional Irish stew: "As this is a folk dish, I feel that the common practice carries its own authority") and hasten to try such recipes as Lettuce and Mint Soup, Baked Rainbow Trout in Spinach Sauce, and Beef with Stout. Chapters explore soups and starters through breads, desserts, and drinks, and offer 100 or so accessible recipes for everyday and special-occasion dining. Present are traditional Irish favorites, including Dingle pies (a spiced mutton dish), Colcannon (potatoes mashed with cabbage), and brown soda bread, as well as the likes of Danish Liver Paté, Mussels with Mayonnaise, and Turnedos with Mushrooms. Readers with a sweet tooth will want to try Allen's Almond Meringue Gâteau with Chocolate and Rum Cream and Blackberry Sorbet, and an exemplary trifle featuring almonds, cherries, and angelica. [+]
Illustrated with color photos throughout, the book is a cook's treasure with delightful, sometimes provocative thought. -Arthur Boehm.

Review Las fiestas de Frida y Diego: recuerdos y recetas / Clarkson Potter:

Frida Su nombre evoca misterio y magia y. Mexico. En este nostalgico libro, Guadalupe Rivera, la hija de Diego Rivera, arroja una nueva luz sobre la leyenda. Como dice la propia Guadalupe: "En 1942 la situacion familiar provoco que resultara mas eonveniente que me fuera a Coyoacan, a vivir con mi padre y Frida. lo mas importante que me sucedio fue aprender aver el mundo a traves de la manera de vivir de Frida y Diego. "Guadalupe y Marie-Pierre encuentran a Friday a la Casa Azul en Coyoacan intensamente llenas de vida. [+]
Guadalupe nos cuenta de los pericos parloteando en sus jaulas, del chango Fulan Chang, de las tertulias en la famosa cocina de azulejos. Pero sobre todo, nos relata acerca de Friday su manera de dar siempre la bienvenida en su casa. Frida estaba permanentemente llena de entusiasmo y el menor asunto era causa de regocijo. Celebraba cumpleanos, santos y bautizos, asi como todas las fiestas populares. Por ello, Guadalupe y Marie-Pierre han estructurado este libro en dote fiestas, entre las cuales estan las posadas (durante la epoca navidena), el dia de muertos, la Independencia y una fiesta de gala llamada "La comida de manteles largos". Mezcladas con los recuerdos de Guadalupe encontramos mas de 100 recetas de la comida traditional mexicana que a Diego le gustaba y que a Frida le encantaba preparar. Entre las numerosas ilustraciones se encuentran paginas de los libros de cocina de Friday de sus cuadernos de notas, asi como una seleccion de fotografias y reproducciones de sus obras. Por su parte, Marie-Pierre Colle trabajo con Ignacio Urquiza - uno de los principales fotografos de Mexico - para crear las fotografias de las recetas en la Casa Azul y en otros lugares amados y bien conocidos por Frida. Tanto estas como las fotografias de bodegones inspiradas por obras de Frida, se combinan para ofrecernos un libro vibrante, emotionante e inspirador, como Frida misma. Los eonocedores encontraran en Las fiestas de Friday Diego un invaluable agregado a su biblioteca; los que apenas se inician en el mito encontraran una encantadora puerta de entrada. The Spanish-language edition of Frida's Fiestas. A personal account in words and pictures of many important and happy events in the life of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, and a scrapbook, assembled by her stepdaughter, of recipes for more than 100 dishes that Frida served to family and friends with her characteristic enthusiasm for all the pleasures of life. Full-color photographs.
