A Compendium of Recipes and Cooking Lessons from San Francisco's Beloved Resturant

For twenty-four years, in an odd and intimate warren of rooms, San Franciscans of every variety have come to the Zuni Café with high expectations and have rarely left disappointed.

As a high school student, Judy Rodgers was placed by a benevolent fate on the doorstep of the Troisgros Brothers' three-star restaurant in Roanne, France. For more than a year, she watched closely, tasted relentlessly, and recorded every culinary thing she could. Won over by la cuisine—while also taking time out to earn a degree at Stanford—she continued her explorations by cooking in the southwest of France, then headed for Tuscany, Umbria, and Sicily, and later Catalonia and Greece, always in search of honest cuisine généreuse, and always taking notes.

In 1987, Judy arrived at San Francisco's Zuni Café, eager to share the bounty she had amassed. Through years of creating daily menus for the café, she nurtured all the culinary traditions she observed in her travels, adapting them to the emerging traditions of Californian cooking.

At last, after years of anticipation, The Zuni Café Cookbook is here and lets you share in and enjoy the repertory Judy has developed that continues to captivate locals and travelers alike. Chef-owner Judy Rodgers has assembled a generous collection of her recipes and woven them together with a lifetime's worth of culinary lore. She walks you through each dish, providing friendly explanations of the how and why of every step—you'll feel she is standing next to you in the kitchen as you cook. Crystal-clear essays on deciding what to cook, shopping for your food, and the habit of tasting will liberate the inexperienced cook and provide new insight for the experienced. Judy's ideas on roasting, braising, and pastry-making break new ground. And her "Practice of Salting Early" may forever change how you cook.

You'll find the world-famous Zuni Roast Chicken and Caesar Salad as well as the Zuni Hamburger and the very special Espresso Granita. Along the way you'll find advice on serving oysters, as well as how to endow a simple salad with finesse and heart and how to assemble a modest but exquisite cheese course. You'll learn what makes a stock for a soup or sauce extraordinary, duck confit succulent, and what makes a risotto silky and rich. Judy will also convince you to make her favorite "labor-of-love-intensive" dishes—braised oxtails, a fragrant porchetta, graisserons, and a treasury of rabbit recipes. This is honest, yet sophisticated, food from the heart.

Designed as it is for cooks, The Zuni Café Cookbook is also a treat for readers who enjoy curling up with a cookbook at night. Colorful stories are interspersed among the recipes and cooking lessons to deepen your understanding of the art of cooking and how its careful practice can enrich daily life. Judy's fine prose will draw you into the process, making reading her instructions as easy and satisfying as eating her food. Offering a new way to think about ingredients, and the act of cooking, The Zuni Café Cookbook is a masterwork, bringing together the ideas and practices of one of the most skilled cooks and food writers today.

Twenty-four color photographs display, in gorgeous detail, the earthy, sensual food for which Zuni is known. Fifty black-and-white photographs illustrate technique throughout the text. Wine suggestions from Zuni devotee and preeminent wine connoisseur Gerald Asher accompany the recipes.

"What makes The Zuni Café Cookbook a real treasure is the voice of Zuni's Judy Rodgers. Judy is an exceptionally curious and thoughtful cook, and an eloquent writer. So her book doesn't just share dozens of clear, detailed, thoroughly proven recipes from Zuni Café. It repeatedly sheds a fresh and revealing light on ingredients and dishes, on basic techniques, and even on the nature of cooking itself." —Harold McGee, author of The Curious Cook and On Food and Cooking

"Judy Rodgers has written a magnificent and deeply intelligent book. The recipes are utterly beguiling, but the introduction alone is something I know I will return to many times. It somehow puts everything in its right place, and it should be required reading for every person who might cook something someday." —Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone

"This is a cookbook that belongs in every kitchen. It is instructive for beginners and equally valuable for cooking 'pros.' Judy carefully and simply explains the why and how of every step of advice. The recipes, too, feel as though she is standing next to one and guiding one to a successful result." —Marion Cunningham, author of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook

"I am always inspired eating at Zuni Café. Judy Rodgers cooks with an artist's palette; a very special taste that transforms impeccably pure and beautiful ingredients into her own wonderful combinations of flavor and texture. Although her recipes are straightforward and traditional, each one is unique." —Alice Waters, author of Chez Panisse Fruit

"It is rare to find a cookbook that is a joy to read as well as one having a great collection of recipes. The Zuni Café Cookbook is such a book. Written with clarity by Judy Rodgers, who has many stories to tell, the book is filled with techniques and with wisdom. She explains in detail the art of tasting and seasoning, even the art of shopping and what to look for. It is for the beginning cook as well as the experienced cook and even for those who do not like to cook but to read about cooking. Having been a habitual diner at Zuni since its beginning, I am relishing every recipe." —Chuck Williams of Williams-Sonoma "Judy Rodgers has written an outstanding cookbook. It is far more than a collection of her recipes. It is full of fresh ideas, concepts, themes, and kitchen hints. Highly ambitious; highly accomplished. it is a major work." —Paula Wolfert, author of Mediterranean Grains and Greens

Louis Cartier (1875–1942), the grandson of Cartier founder Louis-Francois, was an impassioned collector and lover of the arts. He was particularly entranced by Islamic arts, especially Persian book arts, geometric shapes and colour combinations, and its motifs and exotic colour palette are apparent in Cartier jewelry to this day. However, it was his younger brother Jacques – an expert in precious stones – who travelled to India and the Persian Gulf in 1911 and 1912 to discover the culture and bring home the true treasures of the Middle East: natural pearls. This was the pivotal moment when the dialogue between these two worlds opened up, eventually blossoming into a beautiful relationship that has lasted for decades. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, this lavish book delves into the Cartier archives to trace the story of Louis Cartier’s love of Islamic art and the ways in which he incorporated Islam’s stylized yet abstract motifs into Cartier’s jewelry. Dazzling photographs of Cartier jewelry are accompanied by in-depth texts from a raft of distinguished scholars of both Islam and the decorative arts. With 250 illustrations

Did you know that a Gimlet, a Daiquiri, and a Bee’s Knees are the same cocktail? As are a Cosmopolitan, a Margarita, and a Sidecar. When hosting a party wouldn’t you enjoy saying to your guests, “Would you care for a Boulevardier, perhaps, or a Negroni?” These, too, are the same cocktail, substituting one ingredient for another. Or if you’d like to be able to shake up a batch of whiskey sours for a party of eight in fewer than two minutes, then read on. As Michael Ruhlman explains, our most popular cocktails are really ratios—proportions of one ingredient relative to the others. Organized around five of our best-known, beloved, classic families of cocktails, each category follows a simple ratio from which myriad variations can be built: The Manhattan, The Gimlet, The Margarita, The Negroni, and the most debated cocktail ever, The Martini. A practical reference of cocktail classics, a source of inspiration for putting a new spin on the usual gin and tonic, and an affable tribute to the pleasures of the cocktail hour, The Book of Cocktail Ratios shows you how to serve up delectable drinks in no time.

Sew a sustainable capsule wardrobe that is tailored to you – and with it, help break the cycle of throw-away fashion. The fashion industry is the second biggest environmental polluter on the planet. Every year, over 350,000 tonnes of clothing is sent to landfill in the UK – just under 14 million tonnes in the US – much of it owing to fast fashion. Furthermore, it’s estimated that many of us wear only 20% of our wardrobe regularly, with the other 80% languishing in our wardrobes unworn, or worse – contributing to those ever-growing landfill figures. We urgently need to find alternative, more sustainable approaches that allow us to have the stylish wardrobes we crave without hurting our planet. The techniques you learn in The Re:Fashion Wardrobe is one of those alternatives. Learn how to alter or create entirely new garments from pre-loved clothes or forgotten fabrics that are not only chic but don't cost the earth. Beginning with advice on equipment, fabrics and how to source your clothes for refashioning, Portia Lawrie will then take you step–by–step through a collection of 11 garments that she has reworked, showing you just how easy it is to refresh or drastically change any piece of clothing you come across. Every garment in the collection can be used to create a modern capsule wardrobe that you can wear throughout the year, and Portia has included advice on how to adjust the garments in the book to make versions suitable for different times of the year. Useful sewing techniques with clear illustrations are included at the back of the book for you to dip into whenever you need them – from measuring and fitting through to garment deconstruction and construction. This is not the “Becky home eccy” refashioning of old, or simply make-do-and-mend either. This is showing that with some time, basic sewing techniques and a dash of creative vision, a wardrobe you’ve made entirely from recycled garments and textiles can be as stylish, edgy and aspirational as anything the high street has to offer.
