Antonio Carluccio Goes Wild

Author: Antonio Carluccio

Antonio Carluccio Goes Wild is the natural successor to his best-selling Passion for Mushrooms. Here, Antonio revels in the natural bounty of the woods, fields, and seashore—from crab apples and strawberries, truffles and mushrooms, to crayfish and pheasant. Some 60 wild ingredients are featured, with aids to identification, guidance on where and how to gather them, and tips on preparation. Each one is accompanied by a recipe or two—often very simple, in the Italian tradition, and all satisfyingly delicious. Among the dishes are asta with Wild Garlic and Smoked Salmon, Ravioli of Chanterelles and Duck, Umbrian Trout with Truffles, Pheasant with Berry and Pomegranate Sauce, and Wild Strawberries with Balsamic Vinegar.

Library Journal

Carluccio is a London chef and author whose previous cookbooks, most on Italian food, have been quite popular here. He's also written about mushrooms, wild and otherwise, and his latest book expands on the pleasures of foraged food. The recipes are organized by ingredient, from greens and herbs to mushrooms and game, and each entry provides history, botanical (or other) identification, and information on preparing and cooking the specific ingredient. Some of these are quite unusual, such as sea kale and hop shoots; others, like arugula and capers, can be found in their tamer versions at most markets. Recipes range from Nettle Gnocchi with Dolcelatte Sauce to Walnuts in Chocolate to Steak with Fresh Horseradish. Carluccio is a true gourmand, and his enthusiasm is contagious. Offering a rather different approach to wild food from Steve Brill's Wild Vegetarian Cookbook, this entertaining and informative guide is strongly recommended.

Brandy Trade under the Ancien Regime: Regional Specialisation in the Charente

Author: Louis M Cullen

This study of the brandy trade explores the origins, production and marketing of brandy from the Cognac region in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Professor Cullen shows that the brandy trade was based on a sophisticated regional economy, which, by 1720, had become a key component of French involvement in the modern international trading system. Notwithstanding competition from a surplus in other cereals and from foreign markets, regional specialization in the Charente was an indispensable element in ensuring the quality of stable output, and was recognized in the region's success in attracting foreign houses, such as Martell and Hennessy.

The Invention of the Restaurant or Twenty Four Little French Dinners and how to Cook and Serve Them

The Invention of the Restaurant: Paris and Modern Gastronomic Culture

Author: Rebecca L Spang

Why are there restaurants? Why would anybody consider eating to be an enjoyable leisure activity or even a serious pastime? To find the answer to these questions, we must accompany Rebecca Spang back to France in the eighteenth century, when a restaurant was not a place to eat but a thing to eat: a quasi-medicinal bouillon that formed an essential element of prerevolutionary France's nouvelle cuisine. This is a book about the French Revolution in taste and of the table—a book about how Parisians invented the modern culture of food, thereby changing their own social life and that of the world.

During the 1760s and 1770s, those who were sensitive and supposedly suffering made public show of their delicacy by going to the new establishments known as "restaurateurs' rooms" and there sipping their bouillons. By the 1790s, though, the table was variously seen as a place of decadent corruption or democratic solidarity. The Revolution's tables were sites for extending frugal, politically correct hospitality, and a delicate appetite was a sign of counter-revolutionary tendencies. The restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food became symbols of aristocratic greed. In the early nineteenth century, however, the new genre of gastronomic literature worked within the strictures of the Napoleonic police state to transform the notion of restaurants and to confer star status upon oysters and champagne. Thus, the stage was set for the arrival of British and American tourists keen on discovering the mysteries of Frenchness in the capital's restaurants. From restoratives to Restoration, Spang establishes the restaurant at the very intersection of public and privatein French culture—the first public place where people went to be private.

Acetaria: A Discourse of Sallets (1699)

Author: Christopher Driver

First published in 1699, John Evelyn's Acetaria is an early book about food, rather than just a collection of recipes or a medical treatise - the usual forms. He discusses the merits of salad, the demerits of meat-eating, the best way to mix, to grow, to gather and to season a salad, and the place of the salad in classical literature and the early history of man. What better introduction to eating more vegetables, or growing more salad plants? John Evelyn (1620-1706) was a virtuoso, scholar and man of letters of Restoration England. His diary is required reading, his architectural and environmental treatises were prophetic, and his gardening was legendary. Acetaria is one of its fruits. It has pleased generations of readers. This is a new setting of his text, with a useful introduction putting some contemporary perspectives on his opinions, together with a full index and glossary.

Love on the Rocks: Men, Women, and Alcohol in Post-World War II America

Author: Lori Rotskoff

In this fascinating history of alcohol in postwar American culture, Lori Rotskoff draws on short stories, advertisements, medical writings, and Hollywood films to investigate how gender norms and ideologies of marriage intersected with scientific and popular ideas about drinking and alcoholism.

After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, recreational drinking became increasingly accepted among white, suburban, middle-class men and women. But excessive or habitual drinking plagued many families. How did people view the "problem drinkers" in their midst? How did husbands and wives learn to cope within an "alcoholic marriage?" And how was drinking linked to broader social concerns during the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War era?

By the 1950s, Rotskoff explains, mental health experts, movie producers, and members of self-help groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon helped bring about a shift in the public perception of alcoholism from "sin" to "sickness." Yet alcoholism was also viewed as a family problem that expressed gender-role failure for both women and men. On the silver screen (in movies such as The Lost Weekend and The Best Years of Our Lives) and on the printed page (in stories by writers such as John Cheever), in hospitals and at Twelve Step meetings, chronic drunkenness became one of the most pressing public health issues of the day.

Food Choice and the Consumer

Author: David W Marshall

This book provides an interdisciplinary survey of food selection and examines each of the stages which the consumer goes through in making choices about what food to include in the daily domestic cuisine. The study of food provisioning is usually confined to the act of supplying food in the food chain, and food choice limited to sensory activities, or the retail arena. This book addresses the consumer tasks of acquiring, preparing, cooking, serving, consuming and finally disposing of food. The 'domestic food provisioning' process is under a wide range of economic, social, nutritional and scientific influences and the book draws material from a variety of disciplines. It illustrates the importance of adopting and 'integrated' approach, and the need to bridge some of the gaps that exist between the pure and social sciences. In the process it brings together an international field of expertise and offers an insight into the nature of consumer choice as an integrated set of activities. Written for those requiring an overview of this subject for commercial or academic reasons, the book provides the food industry with an insight into the demands of its customers and a way of understanding how they may be met. Lecturers and advanced students in food science, nutrition, sociology, psychology, business studies and economics will find it an essential collection of information.

Philosopher Fish: Sturgeon, Caviar, and the Geography of Desire

Author: Richard Adams Carey

From the acclaimed Rick Carey ("a humanist and a journalist of considerable depth" Washington Post), a fascinating chronicle of a fast-disappearing fish-and of the people whose lives and livelihoods depend on it.

Since the days of the Persian Empire, caviar has trumpeted status, wealth, prestige, and sex appeal. Today it goes for up to one hundred dollars an ounce, and aficionados will go to extraordinary lengths to get their fill of it. According to acclaimed writer Richard Adams Carey, that's just the problem. In this spectacular jaunt, Carey immerses himself in the world of sturgeon, the fish that lays these golden eggs. What he finds is disturbing: Sturgeon populations worldwide have declined 70 percent in the last twenty years, most drastically in the Caspian Sea. The beluga sturgeon, producer of the most coveted caviar, has climbed to number four on the World Wildlife Fund's most-endangered species list. Armed with a novelist's eye for human eccentricity and an investigator's nose for trouble, Carey takes us on an illuminating journey across the globe to uncover the secrets of the sturgeon. On that trek we meet the fascinating real-life characters both profiting from its scarcity and fighting to save it. A high-stakes cocktail of business, diplomacy, technology, and espionage, The Philosopher Fish is, at its heart, the epic story of a 250-million-year-old fish struggling to survive.

Author Biography: Richard Adams Carey was born in Connecticut and educated at Harvard College. After his graduation he went to work in a northwestern saw-mill, and he has since divided his time between Alaska and New England. His previous book, Against the Tide, was a portrait of four of the last one-man, one-boat fishermen on Cape Cod. He lives in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire.

Kirkus Reviews

Hard to imagine that a story about fish eggs could be "fast-paced," not to mention prophetic. But this piece of environmental journalism is both. Carey (Against the Tide, 1999, etc.) traces the rise of the caviar industry and the concomitant decline of the sturgeon. Caviar dates to at least the 13th century, when a Mogol king dined on the eggs at a monastery, though in medieval Russia caviar was not a luxury-even peasants ate the "blackberry jam of tiny globes." By the late 19th century, the taste for roe had spread to Germany, France, and the US, where it quickly achieved delicacy status and remains one of the most expensive epicurean dishes around: at Manhattan's upscale Petrossian, says Carey, two ounces of beluga caviar cost well over a hundred dollars. Just a century ago, sturgeon were everywhere, the big kid on the block in most river systems in the northern hemisphere; but now the creatures whose eggs are so delectable have been overfished and are on the brink of extinction. Carey introduces scientists, entrepreneurs, and activists who are trying hard to keep the sturgeon around, though as is often the case with environmental policy, red tape and competing interests mean slow progress. A long tousle over the status of beluga sturgeon under the Endangered Spices Act culminated in 2004 with the listing of the fish as threatened, but the fate of beluga caviar imports to the US is still up in the air. In relating all this, Carey introduces some charming characters, from Petrossian's head buyer, Eve Vega, to crusading lawyer biologist Frank Chapman. As for the subtitle, don't be skeptical: this really is a book about desire. It's about how Americans balance supply and demand, how "wediscipline ourselves to measure our desires against finite means." As such, it's a book about America in microcosm. Caviar, it turns out, is not just tasty. In Carey's hands, it's luminous.

February 14. The vineyards are asleep. Our Valentine's Day feast is fresh, cracked Dungeness crab soup cooked with Fumé Blanc, served with garlic mayonnaise and bubbly....

In settings suffused with the scents of Giverny-like gardens, Joy shares secrets of tasting and cooking with wine, reveals her own experiments with menus and vintages, and explains why certain pairings of food and wine endure. And she exults in life's surprises, like the magical cluster of rare morels that appeared one day under a century-old Douglas fir and became an exotic ragout.

Whether it's savoring the intense aromas of crushed violets in a young Cabernet Sauvignon; recalling a culinary adventure at Paul Bocuse's restaurant; drinking in the Provence scents of zinnias and lavenders; or concocting a Halloween dinner of turban squash, Vintage Feasting is a treasure of fascinating lore, succulent menus, memorable wines—and a zest for enjoying life that leaves us refreshed, delighted, and inspired anew.

Something in the Cellar

Author: Ronald Searl

This lighthearted look at the secrets of the world's wine ceremonies invites vintners and wine drinkers to experience the mysteries of wine and its production. Illustrated in Searle's inimitable style are the ancient noble ceremony of slashing the trockenbeerenauslese, the inauguration of the first authentic denominazione di origine controllata e garantita, and the vinolympics. For wine lovers who have never tasted ptolemy nouveau or watched the uncorking of the kangarouge, these experiences are related with warmth and humor. The many ways to open a bottle of wine are illustrated, and the rituals and delights of wine around the world are described.

Author Biography: Ronald Searle is a political cartoonist whose work appears regularly in Le Monde. He is the author of Illustrated Winespeak and Slightly Foxed but Still Desirable.
