The beloved Instant Pot can be used to do just about anything:
caramelize onions, boil eggs, steam rice . . . and now, make
cheese! Cheesemaking in a multicooker is not only time and
money-saving, but the cooker's accurate and consistent temperatures
make it an ideal tool for the craft. Claudia Lucero, author of the
best-selling One-Hour Cheese, presents the cheesemaking basics,
then covers classics such as paneer, ricotta, goat cheese, and easy
cottage cheese before introducing more sophisticated options like
burrata and feta, and even dairy-free alternatives. For
multicookers with a "Yogurt" function, there are recipes for
cultured dairy products such as buttermilk, ghee, and sour cream,
too.

'I was born in a sprawling house by the Yamuna River in Delhi. When
I was a few minutes old, Grandmother welcomed me into the world by
writing "Om", which means "I am" in Sanskrit, on my tongue with a
little finger dipped in honey. When the family priest arrived to
draw up my horoscope, he scribbled astrological symbols on a long
scroll and set down a name for me, Indrani, or "queen of the
heavens". My father ignored him completely and proclaimed my name
was to be Madhur ("sweet as honey").' So begins Madhur Jaffrey's
enchanting memoir of her childhood in India. Her description of
growing up a in a very large, wealthy family (half a train was
booked to transport the family from Delhi to the mountains for the
summer) conjures up the spirit of a long lost age. Whether climbing
the mango trees in her grandparents' orchard, armed with a mixture
of salt, pepper, red chillies and roasted cumin, or enjoying
picnics in the foothills of the Himalayas, reached by foot,
rickshaw, palanquin or horse, where meatballs stuffed with sultanas
and mint leaves, cauliflowers flavoured with ginger and coriander,
and spiced pooris with hot green mango pickle were devoured, food
forms a major leitmotiv of this beautifully written memoir. With
recipes drawn from memories of dinners, lunches, breakfasts,
weddings and picnics, moving effortlessly from the lamb meatballs
of Moghul emperors to the tamarind chutneys of the streets, this
book will appeal to keen armchair cooks, as well as fans of Madhur
the world over.

Wabi-Sabi Welcome applies the basic principles of the wabi-sabi
aesthetic to modern entertaining. It's about being ! attentive to
your guests (listen without being distracted; unplug), creating a
welcoming environment (leave the door unlocked; make time to be
together), choosing modest decor (dishes and furniture made from
materials that endure, such as wood or clay), decorating with
nature (with an emphasis on foraged, not store-bought, blooms),
finding beauty in imperfections (wrinkled linen napkins, along with
a relaxed attitude about late-coming guests), and much more. The
book is organised into chapters of five locations - Japan, Denmark,
California, France, and Italy - places where the approach to home
decor and entertaining best reflects wabi-sabi principles. The book
is complete with lush photography and practical checklists.
The Whole Beast: Nose to Tail Eating is a certified "foodie"
classic. In it, Fergus Henderson -- whose London restaurant, St.
John, is a world-renowned destination for people who love to eat
"on the wild side" -- presents the recipes that have marked him out
as one of the most innovative, yet traditional, chefs. Here are
recipes that hark back to a strong rural tradition of delicious
thrift, and that literally represent Henderson's motto, "Nose to
Tail Eating" -- be they Pig's Trotter Stuffed with Potato, Rabbit
Wrapped in Fennel and Bacon, or his signature dish of Roast Bone
Marrow and Parsley Salad. For those of a less carnivorous bent,
there are also splendid dishes such as Deviled Crab; Smoked
Haddock, Mustard, and Saffron; Green Beans, Shallots, Garlic, and
Anchovies; and to keep the sweetest tooth happy, there are
gloriously satisfying puddings, notably the St. John Eccles Cakes,
and a very nearly perfect Chocolate Ice Cream.
100 traditional yet surprisingly modern recipes from the far northern corners of Russia, featuring ingredients and dishes that young Russians are rediscovering as part of their heritage.
“A necessary resource for food writers and for eaters, a fascinating read and good excuse to make fermented oatmeal.”—Bon Appétit
Russian cookbooks tend to focus on the food that was imported from France in the nineteenth century or the impoverished food of the Soviet era. Beyond the North Wind explores the true heart of Russian food, a cuisine that celebrates whole grains, preserved and fermented foods, and straightforward but robust flavors.
Recipes for a dazzling array of pickles and preserves, infused vodkas, homemade dairy products such as farmers cheese and cultured butter, puff pastry hand pies stuffed with mushrooms and fish, and seasonal vegetable soups showcase Russian foods that are organic and honest--many of them old dishes that feel new again in their elegant minimalism. Despite the country's harsh climate, this surprisingly sophisticated cuisine has an incredible depth of flavor to offer in dishes like Braised Cod with Horseradish, Roast Lamb with Kasha, Black Currant Cheesecake, and so many more.
This home-style cookbook with a strong sense of place and evocative storytelling brings to life a rarely seen portrait of Russia, its people, and its palate--with 100 recipes, gorgeous photography, and essays on the little-known culinary history of this fascinating and wild part of the world.
A culinary pioneer blends memoir with a joyful inquiry into the
ingredients he uses and their origins-now in paperbackWhat goes
into the making of a chef, a restaurant, a dish? And if good
ingredients make a difference on the plate, what makes them good in
the first place? In his highly anticipated first book, influential
chef Peter Hoffman offers thoughtful and delectable answers to
these questions. "A locavore before the word existed" (New York
Times), Hoffman tells the story of his upbringing, professional
education, and evolution as a chef and restaurant owner through its
components-everything from the importance of your relationship with
your refrigerator repairman and an account of how a burger killed
his restaurant, to his belief in peppers as a perfect food, one
that is adaptable to a wide range of cultural tastes and geographic
conditions and reminds us to be glad we are alive.Along with these
personal stories from a life in restaurants, Hoffman braids in
passionately curious explorations into the cultural, historical,
and botanical backstories of the foods we eat. Beginning with a
spring maple sap run and ending with the late-season, frost-defying
vegetables, he follows the progress of the seasons and their
reflections in his greenmarket favorites, moving ingredient to
ingredient through the bounty of the natural world. Hoffman meets
with farmers and vendors and unravels the magic of what we eat,
deepening every cook's appreciation for what's on their kitchen
counter. What's Good? is a layered, insightful, and utterly
enjoyable meal.
For women everywhere, a collection of fierce and often funny
personal essays on finding enough, from writer Shauna M. Ahern, of
'Gluten-Free Girl' fame. Like so many American women, Shauna M.
Ahern spent decades feeling not good enough about her body, about
money, and about her worth in this culture. For a decade, with the
help of her husband, she ran a successful food blog, wrote
award-winning cookbook and raised two children. In the midst of
this, at age 48, she suffered a mini-stroke. Tests revealed she
would recover fully, but when her doctor impressed upon her that
emotional stress can cause physical damage, she dove deep inside
herself to understand and let go of a lifetime of damaging patterns
of thought. With candour and humour, Ahern traces the arc of her
life in essays, starting with the feeling of "not good enough"
which was sown in a traumatic childhood and dogged her well into
adulthood. She writes about finding her rage, which led her to find
her enduring motto: enough pretending. And she chronicles how these
phases have opened the door to living more joyfully today with
mostly enough: friends, family and her community. Readers will be
moved by Ahern's brave stories. They will also find themselves in
these essays, since we all have to find our own definition of
enough.
Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith
recounts--in delicious detail--the creation of contemporary
American cuisine. The diet of the modern American wasn't always as
corporate, conglomerated, and corn-rich as it is today, and the
style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose
it, has never been fixed. With a cast of characters including bold
inventors, savvy restaurateurs, ruthless advertisers, mad
scientists, adventurous entrepreneurs, celebrity chefs, and
relentless health nuts, Smith pins down the truly crackerjack
history behind the way America eats.
Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally
independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own
food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would
cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption.
Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition,
and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of
production. The proliferation of cookbooks, cooking shows, and
professionally designed kitchens made meals more commercially,
politically, and culturally potent. To better understand these
trends, Smith delves deeply and humorously into their creation.
Ultimately he shows how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim
the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.
