Review Texas BBQ : Photographs by Wyatt McSpadden / University of Texas Press:To Texans, barbecue is elemental. Succulent, savory, perfumed with smoke and spice, it transcends the term "comfort food. " It's downright heavenly, and it's also a staff of Texas life. Like a dust storm or a downpour, barbecue is a force of Texas nature, a stalwart tie to the state's cultural and culinary history. Though the word is often shortened to "BBQ," the tradition of barbecue stands Texas-tall. Photographer Wyatt McSpadden has spent some twenty years documenting barbecue-specifically, the authentic family-owned cafes that are small-town mainstays. Traveling tens of thousands of miles, McSpadden has crisscrossed the state to visit scores of barbecue purveyors, from fabled sites like Kreuz's in Lockhart to remote spots like the Lazy H Smokehouse in Kirbyville. Color or black-and-white, wide angle or close up, his pictures convey the tradition and charm of barbecue. They allow the viewer to experience each place through all five senses. The shots of cooking meat and spiraling smoke make taste and smell almost tangible. [+]McSpadden also captures the shabby appeal of the joints themselves, from huge, concrete-floored dining halls to tiny, un-air-conditioned shacks. Most of all, McSpadden conveys the primal physicality of barbecue-the heat of fire, the heft of meat, the slickness of juices-and also records ubiquitous touches such as ancient scarred carving blocks, torn screen doors and peeling linoleum, and toothpicks in a recycled pepper sauce jar.

Review The Columbia Restaurant: Celebrating a Century of History, Culture, and Cuisine (Florida History and Culture) / University Press of Florida:Behind the scenes at one of Florida's most beloved restaurants "I recommend this book be read with a side order of Spanish bean soup, Cuban bread, and a cup of café con leche. "-Rodney Kite-Powell II, Tampa Bay History Center "Much like the Columbia Restaurant's delicious and iconic 1905 Salad, this book offers an incredible buffet of savory, tangy, and flavorful anecdotes which authoritatively detail the landmark's rich culinary and cultural impact on Tampa, its employees, and its customers. "-Jeff Houck, food writer, Tampa Tribune "What better way to learn about the history of Tampa and Ybor City-its changing nature and its constancy-than by reading about the Columbia Restaurant? Huse has you tasting and smelling the kitchen through his descriptive prose. This book has it all. "-Elizabeth M. Williams, president, Southern Food & Beverage Museum The Columbia is Florida's oldest and most honored restaurant. Founded in 1905 as a cafe catering to immigrant cigar workers in Ybor City, it has grown into one of the culinary touchstones of the state. Handed down from generation to generation, the Columbia remains family owned and operated, with six locations from St. Augustine to Sarasota. In The Columbia Restaurant, Andrew Huse provides an in-depth look at the people who made the restaurant great. [+]With a historian's eye for accuracy and a storyteller's ear for delicious anecdotes, Huse traces the fortunes of the Columbia from the founder, Casimiro Hernandez Sr. , to his great-grandson, fourth-generation restaurateur Richard Gonzmart. The Columbia's history is rich with stories of secret stashes of liquor, backroom deals with gangsters, waiters who never forgot an order, business challenges from the Great Depression to urban renewal and beyond. Keeping in mind why people fall in love with a restaurant, the book includes favorite recipes from across the years, along with hundreds of color and black and white photographs that trace the Columbia's evolution across the century. .

Review In Robert's of Charleston's Kitchen: Chef Robert's Recipes from Robert's of Charleston Restaurant / 1st Books Library:Each night at my restaurant, Robert's of Charleston, my staff and I prepare and present a unique menu. Those of our guests who themselves have some culinary expertise - and indeed any who have ever attempted to prepare a dinner party know that a good menu starts with correct recipes to make the meal both enjoyable and memorable. My training at the Culinary Institute of America taught me to read the written recipe with much discernment. Thus, I have tried to make these recipes as straightforward as possible, leaving nothing to chance for you. A complete step-by-step guide to build signature sauces is how I want you to lean to add that expert touch to every dish. They reflect my collection from over forty years in the numerous establishments I have worked. The sixty sauces are 'finger-licking-good. ' The first section is designed to be an alchemy of goodness, but it does not stop there. The soup recipes range from broth style with egg and cheese to Clam Chowder, Cream of Cauliflower and more, ending with Lobster Bisque. The entrees chapter provides a sampling of the most favored American meats: beef, Cornish hens, lamb, veal, pork, seafood, and others; and, their recipes will be a good cooking foundation for the novice as well as the expert. [+]Recipes in the accompaniments yield full-flavor and are exquisitely aromatic. They are an essential component of the meal. Experience Caponata, ratatouille, or as a stand alone, County-Style Pate'. Desserts range from delicate and delectable, to classically comfortable. Whatever their degree of complexity, desserts demand close attention to detail, whether in removing the pith from an orange peel or in carefully separating eggs for a custard. The ingredients themselves are seldom elaborate unlike my recipes: tortes, tarts, mousses, souffls, crepes, pies, cakes, sorbets, and trifles. When you have cooked your way through my book you will feel more comfortable in your own kitchen. My recipes draw upon the techniques and flavors of cultures.
