While the popularity of craft cocktails and home bartending have
helped people create their own drink-driven memories, the
possibilities for coffee have remained rather tame. Much more than
a guide to beans or brewing, The New Art of Coffee shares how to
create inspiring concoctions and flavor profiles from comforting
and rejuvenating to celebratory and adventurous. Nearly fifty
recipes paired with beautiful photography will inspire and offer
something for every taste and time of day hot, iced, carbonated,
post-workout, decaffeinated, alcoholic, and deconstructed.
Organized by mood, the recipes range in complexity from a quick
quaff to a showstopping slow build, allowing readers to match the
drink with the moment. Enjoy a Moonwater with breakfast, a Throw Em
A Haymaker after a hard workout, or an Amuse as a happy-hour
delight. The Don is the ideal after-dinner companion, and there s
nothing quite like powering down with a Windmill Cookie Steamer
after a long day.
The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a
cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six
states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling,
tropical-flavored abundance. Historically, it fed and sustained
Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved
African Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of
place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic
grower's dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive,
and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer
agents yet discovered. So why have so few people heard of the
pawpaw, much less tasted one? In Pawpaw-a 2016 James Beard
Foundation Award nominee in the Writing & Literature
category-author Andrew Moore explores the past, present, and future
of this unique fruit, traveling from the Ozarks to Monticello;
canoeing the lower Mississippi in search of wild fruit; drinking
pawpaw beer in Durham, North Carolina; tracking down lost cultivars
in Appalachian hollers; and helping out during harvest season in a
Maryland orchard. Along the way, he gathers pawpaw lore and
knowledge not only from the plant breeders and horticulturists
working to bring pawpaws into the mainstream (including Neal
Peterson, known in pawpaw circles as the fruit's own "Johnny
Pawpawseed"), but also regular folks who remember eating them in
the woods as kids, but haven't had one in over fifty years. As much
as Pawpaw is a compendium of pawpaw knowledge, it also plumbs
deeper questions about American foodways-how economic, biologic,
and cultural forces combine, leading us to eat what we eat, and
sometimes to ignore the incredible, delicious food growing all
around us. If you haven't yet eaten a pawpaw, this book won't let
you rest until you do.

Until now, an invitation to the New York home of style icon Deeda
Blair has been a rare privilege reserved for the fortunate few. In
her first book, Blair opens her doors and invites readers in,
sharing her coveted recipes and ideas for entertaining and setting
tables honed over the course of a remarkable, illustrious life.
Blair also reveals to readers how to develop their own uniquely
personal style and taste through stories and examples gleaned from
the friends and mentors who have inspired her, from decorator Billy
Baldwin to designer Hubert de Givenchy and collector Jayne
Wrightsman. Central to the narrative are six fantasy meals, each
accompanied by a menu, recipes, table settings, and floral
arrangements that are inspired by the people and places among them
the Haga Pavilion in Sweden, Pavlovsk Palace in Russia, and
Givenchy s chateau in the Loire Valley that have shaped Blair s own
inimitable and envied taste and style. Each meal is set in Blair s
exquisite home and accompanied by Ngoc Minh Ngo s evocative
photography of the imaginative table settings Blair has created for
her timeless dishes that defy culinary trends and are of the moment
in their surprising beauty, seasonal ingredients, and ease of
preparation. Accompanying Blair s favourite 80+ recipes are
personal instructions, often enhanced by her own charming drawings
of her serving suggestions. An Introduction by writer Andrew
Solomon beautifully chronicles the arc of Blair s storied life as
wife of U.S. ambassador William McCormick Blair Jr. in Denmark and
the Philippines, her years in Washington, DC, and later in New
York. Blair is one of the last great American swans, revered for
her beauty, fashion, and elegance qualities captured in photos by
Helmut Newton, Horst, Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, and Juergen Teller
that are featured in this book. Renowned design/style writer and
tastemaker Deborah Needleman collaborated with Blair on this book,
capturing for the page Blair s vision for entertaining with fantasy
and enchantment, as well as her reflections on life and how her
experiences have influenced the way she lives, works, and
entertains.

The discovery of vitamins changed our world dramatically.
Terrifying diseases such as scurvy, which had claimed the lives of
millions, became preventable and curable. But before long word of
these 'miracles' had spread from the laboratory and into the hands
of food marketers. Decades of over-hyped advertising later and
we've accepted as fact the idea that dietary chemicals can be used
as shortcuts to improving our health. Award-winning journalist
Catherine Price goes in search of the truth about vitamins, taking
us to vitamin manufacturers, food laboratories and military testing
kitchens. In this page-turning investigation of the history,
science and future of nutrition, she reveals just how much we still
don't know about vitamins - the way they work in our bodies and the
amounts we really need. Engaging, witty and personal, The Vitamin
Complex proposes an alternative to our obsessive vitamin-driven
approach to nutrition - given our lack of knowledge, the best way
to decide what to eat is to stop obsessing and simply embrace this
uncertainty head-on.
Christmas is a time for entertaining and for the host that means
hours spent planning, shopping and decorating the house. With a
good guidebook in hand, the work of holiday entertaining can be one
of the joys of the seasons.
Puer tea has been grown for centuries in the "Six Great Tea
Mountains" of Yunnan Province. In imperial China it was a prized
commodity, traded to Tibet by horse or mule caravan via the
so-called Tea Horse Road and presented as tribute to the emperor in
Beijing. In the 1990s, as the tea's noble lineage and unique
process of aging and fermentation were rediscovered, it achieved
cult status both in China and internationally. The tea became a
favorite among urban connoisseurs who analyzed it in language
comparable to that used in wine appreciation and paid skyrocketing
prices for it. In 2007, however, local events and the international
economic crisis caused the Puer market to collapse.
"Puer Tea" traces the rise, climax, and crash of this cultural
phenomenon. With ethnographic attention to the spaces in which Puer
tea is harvested, processed, traded, and consumed, anthropologist
Jinghong Zhang constructs a vivid account of the transformation of
a cottage handicraft into a major industry--with predictable risks
and unexpected consequences.
Jinghong Zhang is a lecturer at Yunnan University.
"This is an engrossing study of the Puer tea industry and the
many cultural spheres that surround it. It will be of keen interest
to the Western tea trade as well as historians, connoisseurs, and
enthusiasts. Tea publications rarely, if ever, discuss the complex
relationships that quite literally bring tea to the table. Never
has the anatomy of tea been dissected in such a wide ranging,
thorough, and engaging way."--Steven D. Owyoung, co-translator of
Korean Tea Classics
