New York's scenic Hudson Valley, a bucolic land of farms and vineyards, is often compared to California's Napa and Sonoma Valleys.

They supply local restaurants and farmers' markets and the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, as well as the restaurants and Greenmarkets of New York City, only 90 miles away. Hudson Valley Harvest is a sourcebook for those who live, weekend, and vacation in the Hudson Valley. Interviews and profiles of farmers and specialty producers round out specific information on farm festivals, events, and family activities.

The history of an essential Alabama restaurant. Like the celestial body after which it was named, the Bright Star Restaurant is a beacon that has attracted people to downtown Bessemer, Alabama, for 100 years. During that time, the restaurant has become a landmark in the city to which its history has been inextricably linked. This book is the story of the Greek immigrant who left his tiny village in the rugged mountains of Greece's Peloponnesos region for the uncertainty of a new life in a new country. The story traces the founding of the restaurant in 1907 and the family that continues the tradition of fine food and genuine hospitality that began there a century ago. More than a history of a brick-and-mortar business, A Centennial Celebration of the Bright Star Restaurant is the story of people-the excitement of the immigrants seeking a better life for their families, a family known for commitment to its community, and the evolution of a restaurant from a small cafe with a horseshoe-shaped bar to one of the true landmarks on the culinary landscape of Alabama. Everyone from Steelworkers to senators have enjoyed the Bright Star's fine food and have experienced the genuine southern hospitality of the restaurant's owners. In addition to being a great place to eat, the Bright Star has developed a reputation for being part of the city's "family." Legions of loyal patrons have made the Bright Star their restaurant of choice for everything from a casual lunch to the setting for a festive holiday gathering.

Why do Salvatore's tomato pies have the sauce on the top? Where did chef Tami Lax learn to identify mushrooms in the woods? How did Morris develop its signature ramen? Farm-to-table is a clichE, but its roots among the farmers and chefs of south-central Wisconsin are deep, vibrant, and resilient. From brats and burgers to bibimbap, Madison's food scene looks substantially different than it did just a decade ago. Though the city has always been ahead of the locavore movement, a restaurant boom in the 2010s radically changed the dining landscape. Even when individual eateries close or chefs move on, their ideas, connections, and creativity have lasting power. Much larger cities have been unable to match the culinary variety, innovation, and depth of talent found in Wisconsin's state capital. Lindsay Christians's in-depth look at nine creative, intense, and dedicated chefs captures the reason why Madison's food culture remains a gem in America's Upper Midwest. This beautifully illustrated book will leave you salivating-or making reservations.

Pizza is a $35 billion a year business, and nowhere is it taken more seriously than New York City. Journalist Peter Genovese surveys the city's pizza scene-the food, the business, the culture-by profiling pizza landmarks and personalities and rating pizzerias in all five boroughs. In this funny, fascinating book, Genovese explores the bloggers who write about New York pizza, the obsessive city dwellers who collect and analyze the delivery boxes, Mark Bello's school where students spend a day making pies from scratch, and Scott Wiener's pizza bus tours. Along the way, readers learn the history of legendary Totonno's on Coney Island (Zagat's number-one pizzeria for 2012), along with behind-the-scenes stories about John's on Bleecker Street, Joe's on Carmine, Lombardi's, Paulie Gee's, Motorino, and more than a dozen other favorite spots and their owners. Throughout these profiles, Genovese presents a brief history of how pizza came to the city in 1905 and developed into a major attraction in Little Italy, a neighborhood that became a training ground for many of the city's best-loved pizzerias. Enjoyable facts and figures abound. Did you know that Americans put 250 million pounds of pepperoni on their pies every year? Or that Domino's has more outlets per capita in Iceland than in any other country? Beyond the stories and tidbits, Genovese provides detailed, borough-by-borough reviews of 250 pizzerias, from simple "slice shops" with scant atmosphere to gourmet pizzerias, including shops that use organic ingredients and experiment with new variations of crusts and toppings. Complemented by hundreds of current and never-before-seen archival photos, the book gives the humble slice its proper due and will leave readers overwhelmed by a sudden desire for New York pizza.
