The food of Scotland reflects the glorious natural landscape; game
from the heather-clad moors and dense forests; fresh fish caught
from the seas, lochs and rivers; wild fruits, berries and herbs
gathered from the hedgerows, and oats and barley harvested where
the terrain allows. The dishes that stem from these ingredients are
steeped in local history and tradition. Celebrate the culinary
heritage of Scotland in this delightful collection of 30 recipes
ranging from the iconic haggis, celebrated in verse by national
poet Robert Burns, to the finest shortbreads, bannocks and buns.
Named a Best New Cookbook of Spring 2020 by NPR's The Splendid
Table, Epicurious, and more "Martin shares the history, traditions,
and customs surrounding Cajun cuisine and offers a tantalizing slew
of classic dishes." --Publishers Weekly, starred review For anyone
who loves Cajun food or is interested in American cooking or wants
to discover a distinct and engaging new female voice--or just wants
to make the very best duck gumbo, shrimp jambalaya, she-crab soup,
crawfish etouffee, smothered chicken, fried okra, oyster bisque,
and sweet potato pie--comes Mosquito Supper Club. Named after her
restaurant in New Orleans, chef Melissa M. Martin's debut cookbook
shares her inspired and reverent interpretations of the traditional
Cajun recipes she grew up eating on the Louisiana bayou, with a
generous helping of stories about her community and its cooking.
Every hour, Louisiana loses a football field's worth of land to the
Gulf of Mexico. Too soon, Martin's hometown of Chauvin will be
gone, along with the way of life it sustained. Before it
disappears, Martin wants to document and share the recipes,
ingredients, and customs of the Cajun people. Illustrated
throughout with dazzling color photographs of food and place, the
book is divided into chapters by ingredient--from shrimp and
oysters to poultry, rice, and sugarcane. Each begins with an essay
explaining the ingredient and its context, including traditions
like putting up blackberries each February, shrimping every August,
and the many ways to make an authentic Cajun gumbo. Martin is a
gifted cook who brings a female perspective to a world we've only
heard about from men. The stories she tells come straight from her
own life, and yet in this age of climate change and erasure of
local cultures, they feel universal, moving, and urgent.
Passion is what one must know to truly appreciate the collection of
recipes from Jean- Claude de Toulouse's Legendary Cuisine (2nd
edition). Jean-Claude cooks like an angel and combines his French
heritage with culinary secrets from around the world to seduce the
tastebuds. The recipes in Legendary Cuisine are sectioned off by
Jean-Claude's own imaginary meeting with a Lady - a legendary
figure who Jean-Claude is inspired by and cooks for. His interest
in healthy lifestyles combines with his exquisite culinary skill to
show that food that is good for you can also taste sensational.
These recipes are dripping with pomegranates, figs, honey, fruits
of the season, vegetables from the land, fresh salmon, and desserts
to die for. Legendary Cuisine is truly an oral sensation.
Rare Receipts: Favourite Recipes of Past Times for the Modern Cook.
As the introduction to this collection states, 'Old recipes show
that our dishes are often very different from those of past times:
but that we eat better is not always so clear.' Highlights include
carrot pudding; hedgehog, the best way (the doughy, baked kind!);
and trouts with fennel.
Rene Redzepi has been widely credited with re-inventing Nordic
cuisine. His Copenhagen restaurant, Noma, was recognized as the
best in the world by the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurant
awards in 2010 and received the unique `Chef's Choice' award at the
same ceremony in 2009. Redzepi operates at the cutting edge of
gourmet cuisine, combining an unrelenting creativity and a
remarkable level of craftsmanship with an inimitable and innate
knowledge of the produce of his Nordic terroir. At Noma, which
Redzepi created from a derelict eighteenth-century warehouse in
2003 after previously working at both elBulli and The French
Laundry, diners are served exquisite concoctions, such as
`Newly-Ploughed Potato Field' or `The snowman from Jukkasjarvi',
all painstakingly constructed to express their amazing array of
Nordic ingredients. Redzepi's fascination with giving his diners a
real taste of their food's environment extends to serving dishes on
pebbles found in the same fields as his produce. His search for
ingredients involves foraging amongst local fields for wild
produce, sourcing horse-mussels from the Faroe Islands and the
purest possible water from Greenland. Redzepi has heightened the
culinary philosophy of seasonally and regionally sourced
sustainable ingredients to an exquisite level, and in doing so has
created an utterly delicious cuisine.Noma is an unprecedented
opportunity to learn about Redzepi and Noma's history and
philosophy, the sourcing of ingredients, the experimentation behind
the dishes and the cultural significance of dining at Noma.
Accompanying this insight into Redzepi's world will be over 90 of
Redzepi's recipes, by far the most comprehensive collection ever
published. The book will also feature a series of specially
commissioned photographs, illustrating the food and atmosphere of
Noma, as well as the Nordic environment that lies at the heart of
Redzepi's cuisine.

The story behind Faygo, a Detroit soft drink company since 1907.
The Faygo Book is the social history of a company that has forged a
bond with a city and its residents for more than a century. The
story of Faygo, Detroit's beloved soda pop, begins over a hundred
years ago with two Russian immigrant brothers who were looking to
get out of the baking business. Starting with little more than
pots, pails, hoses, and a one-horse wagon, Ben and Perry Feigenson
reformulated cake frosting recipes into carbonated beverage recipes
and launched their business in the middle of the 1907 global
financial meltdown. It was an improbable idea. Through recessions
and the Great Depression, wartime politics, the rise and fall of
Detroit's population, and the neverending challenges to the
industry, the Feigensons persisted. Out of more than forty bottlers
in Detroit's ""pop alley,"" Faygo remained the last one standing.
Within the pages of The Faygo Book, author Joe Grimm carefully
measures out the ingredients of a successful beverage company in
spite of dicey economic times in a boom-and-bust town. Take a large
cup of family-when the second generation of Feigensons gambled with
the chance at national distribution while the odds were stacked
against them-and add a pinch of innovation-not just with their
rambunctious rainbow of flavors but with packaging and television
advertising that infused Faygo with nostalgia. Mix in a quality
product-award-winning classics (and some flops) that they insisted
on calling ""pop"" despite the industry's plea for a more grown-up
name. Stir in a splash of loyalty to its locally hired employees,
many of whom would stay withFaygo for decades. These are the values
on which Faygo has hung its hat for generations, making it an
integral part of communities across the country. The Faygo Book is
the story of a pop, a people, and a place. These stories and facts
will tickle the taste buds and memories of Detroiters and Faygo
lovers everywhere.
