The recipes, stories, and history in "The Eve of Seven Fishes" will take you back to the simple days of your youth, from opening Christmas presents after enjoying the mouthwatering meal of anchovy spaghetti, fried smelts, and Baccala, to savoring the smell of garlic and the company of Uncle Tony and Cousin Vinnie. Author Robert A. Germano entices your taste buds with his delectably authentic Italian recipes from the Old Country. With recipes centered around the simple Italian meal prepared on Christmas Eve, you'll savor the flavor of garlic and basil in Germano's homemade spaghetti sauce and learn how to make true Italian biscotti. The kitchen was the heart of the Italian home. Not only was it a place to cook, but it was also the entertainment area for gossip, arguments, solving riddles, and more laughter than your cheeks could endure. "The Eve of Seven Fishes" invites you into Germano's kitchen and introduces you to the peasant cooking of years gone by. But remember, 'Too many wines spoil the cook."

WARNING: HOME CHEF AT WORK Fine dining at home with family and friends is one of life's true pleasures, yet the kitchen can be a dangerous place. Fire, electricity, heat, scalding hot water, smoke, sharp knives and culinary gizmos and gadgets all present dangers that would not go unnoticed in any environment other than the kitchen. Combined with wine and alcohol, it's no wonder that accidental kitchen fires are the #1 source of home fires and fire injuries, with cuts, burns, bruises and choking incidents the leading reasons for hospital emergency room visits. The Home Chef's Emergency Medical Guide is a useful kitchen companion for every home chef, whether he or she is toiling over a sizzling saute pan, wielding a razor-sharp Japanese chopping knife or blowtorching a creme brulee. While not a substitute for professional medical treatment, this is a first-line guide to prevention and emergency care amid the mayhem that often occurs preparing a fine meal at home. Jack Sholl is a science and medical writer. Illustrations: Jamie Cooper Editorial direction: Veronica Rodriguez
Mrs Beeton reigned supreme among the writers of domestic manuals in the Victorian era. Much more than just a cookery book, or even a guide to household management, her Book of Household Management is full of historic and literary anecdotes - she aimed to give her readers a thorough education. Today it is more than just a historical curiosity; as well as a great sourcebook for nineteenth century recipes, it also provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the people of its time and is a thoroughly entertaining read. This is a new edition (not a scan) of the 1861 text; it is unabridged and includes all the original illustrations in black and white.
As her children and grandchildren began to launch out on their own, the author felt urged to record some of the treasured family recipes and history for posterity. This soon became a delightful pastime, and resulted in the addition of personal thoughts and inspirations the author had accumulated through the years. The large collection of recipes are the result of the generous sharing of home-loving friends, as well as those garnered while enjoying their love of travel. The pages are a testimony of the authors love for God, her family and the simple lifestyle she has lived and loved for many years.
This fascinating cookbook is extensively illustrated with text and full page photographs. It contains a wealth of recipes for leftover food that are just as pertinent and useful today as they were when the book was written. An invaluable addition to the cook who is conscientious about waste's bookshelf. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
