Discover how these contemporary food icons changed the way Americans eat through the fascinating biographical profiles in this book. Before 1946 and the advent of the first television cooking show, James Beard's I Love to Eat, not many Americans were familiar with the finer aspects of French cuisine. Today, food in the United States has experienced multiple revolutions, having received-and embraced-influences from not only Europe, but cultures ranging from the Far East to Latin America. This expansion of America's appreciation for food is largely the result of a number of well-known food enthusiasts who forever changed how we eat. Icons of American Cooking examines the giants of American food, cooking, and cuisine through 24 biographical profiles of contemporary figures, covering all regions, cooking styles, and ethnic origins. This book fills a gap by providing behind-the-scenes insights into the biggest names in American food, past and present.

Cook the simple and flavoursome food of the South of France with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson's Provencal. Provencal is the stunning reissue of Alex Jackson's widely acclaimed first book Sardine. This unique collection of recipes encapsulates the beauty and simplicity of Provencal French cooking and shows you how to recreate the flavours of the South of France at home. Provence and Languedoc are France's window onto the Mediterranean Sea and all that lies beyond, and the culinary influences that converge there make for a cuisine that is varied, rich and deep. The recipes are unpretentious and seasonal, highlighting Alex's belief that cooking the food of Provence is about simplicity, good ingredients and generosity of spirit. Lovingly described, the recipes evoke the South of France with their warmth and flavour; from Bouillabaisse and Autumnal Grand Aioli to a Tomato and Tapenade Tart and Nougat Ice Cream with Fennel Biscuits. The book is divided into seasons and each season contains a 'Grande Bouffe' - a set menu for a feast - so you can really impress your guests and celebrate many wonderful ingredients in one evening's cooking. Provencal promises to reignite a love affair with French provincial cooking, celebrating its multitude of influences, its focus on seasonal eating and, ultimately, an attitude to food which centres around sharing and enjoyment.

A collection of vegan recipes from Greyton Animal Sanctuary volunteers compiled by Rima Geffen. A part of the proceeds will be donated to continue the care of the animals.

Just 7 kms outside the village of Greyton in the Western Cape, hides a 40-hectare private animal sanctuary. Greyton Farm has been a leading non-profit animal haven since its founding in 2014 by Nicola Vernon and Rohan Milson. Under their care, Greyton has grown to embrace unique animals and people alike. International volunteers have always flocked to Greyton for this same reason, and so this beautifully curated collection of recipes was born.

The team has been consistently passionate about the quality of life of those on their farms, from not-so-micro pigs, injured dogs and cats, peacocks, sheep, and all sorts of livestock. Around 200 animals have found their way to Greyton in a variety of ways including reported abuse, or simply wandering injured onto the property all by themselves. Greyton Farm Animal Sanctuary continues to connect people across the globe and nourish volunteers with good food and life-changing experiences. Personal recipes from 10 countries across the world add up to a truly unique dinner table experience.

ABOUT THE BOOK: This cookbook was compiled (and newly revised) in the southern region of Spain called Andalucia. The capital of Andalucia is Seville, a classic European city with old time charm and incredibly satisfying food. Inside these pages you will find tried and true recipes that are, in many cases, centuries old. After describing to Spanish friends and neighbors the type of book we wanted to create, one with everyday authentic recipes, and definitely NOT a coffee table cookbook, our Sevillano friends eagerly jumped to the task of telling us what kinds of food we should highlight. So this cookbook comprises what THEY think ought to be in it. Men and women alike opened up drawers full of aging recipes (written in the script of grandmothers and great-aunts), found cookbooks cracking in the bindings, or just sat and recited from memory the ingredients for this saute or that salad. Here you have the tasty result. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Beth Matthews and her husband Chris have enjoyed friends and food in Seville, Spain, by means of extended trips ever since college days. Falling in love with the satisfying southern Spanish cuisine then, they have continued to deepen their appreciation of the favorite soul foods every family serves. Since moving to Seville in 1998 with their four children, the Matthews helped begin a college and graduate school where they are still involved. Visitors here discover the wealth of southern Spanish culture: the love of beauty, the importance of family, the idea of working just to live, and the value of good health. Beth encourages all her guests to try the flavorful dishes that have made the kitchens of Seville so popular. Some of Beth's favorite recipes are the puchero, pollo al ajillo, albondigas, picadillo, salmorejo, and flan. Chris likes a good montadito, gazpacho, tortilla, and seafood paella.
