Ask any self-respecting Louisianan who makes the best gumbo and the
answer is universal: "Momma." The product of a melting pot of
culinary influences, gumbo, in fact, reflects the diversity of the
people who cooked it up: French aristocrats, West Africans in
bondage, Cajun refugees, German settlers, Native Americans-all had
a hand in the pot. What is it about gumbo that continues to delight
and nourish so many? And what explains its spread around the world?
A seasoned journalist, Ken Wells sleuths out the answers. His
obsession goes back to his childhood in the Cajun bastion of Bayou
Black, where his French-speaking mother's gumbo often began with a
chicken chased down in the yard. Back then, gumbo was a humble soup
little known beyond the boundaries of Louisiana. So when a homesick
young Ken, at college in Missouri, realized there wasn't a
restaurant that could satisfy his gumbo cravings, he called his
momma for the recipe. That phone-taught gumbo was a disaster. The
second, cooked at his mother's side, fueled a lifelong quest to
explore gumbo's roots and mysteries. In Gumbo Life: Tales from the
Roux Bayou, Wells does just that. He spends time with octogenarian
chefs who turn the lowly coot into gourmet gumbo; joins a team at a
highly competitive gumbo contest; visits a factory that churns out
gumbo by the ton; observes the gumbo-making rituals of an iconic
New Orleans restaurant where high-end Creole cooking and Cajun
cuisine first merged. Gumbo Life, rendered in Wells' affable prose,
makes clear that gumbo is more than simply a delicious dish: it's
an attitude, a way of seeing the world. For all who read its pages,
this is a tasty culinary memoir-to be enjoyed and shared like a
simmering pot of gumbo.

More than one hundred delectable and satisfying soup and bread
pairings from beloved James Beard Cookbook Hall of Famer Beatrice
Ojakangas When eating out, Beatrice Ojakangas's mother told her,
you could never go wrong ordering soup. And then, of course, there
should be bread to go with it. Beatrice has been sampling soup ever
since, and in The Soup and Bread Cookbook the James Beard Cookbook
Hall of Famer takes us along on her "soup travels," giving us
delicious tastes from throughout the world and teaching us how to
make them at home. International yet rooted in the rhythm of the
Minnesota seasons-ranging from the cool, refreshing soups of summer
to hearty winter fare-these soups, stews, and chowders take their
inspiration from farmers' markets and local organic grocery stores:
real ingredients, always, and irresistible flavors. Whether it's a
basic broth or stock or a long-simmering vegetable-filled stew,
there is a bread to go along-enough to fill a cookbook on their
own, in fact. Here we have new potato spring pea soup together with
chive-dill batter bread, or spicy mango melon soup with lemon poppy
seed muffins, or super-simple salmon chowder with sour rye buns, or
good old chicken and dumpling soup with Dutch raisin bread-or
perhaps your craving is satisfied with Asian lemon-ginger soup with
sesame sunflower breadsticks, or Avgolemono soup with pita bread,
or Polish Easter soup with sourdough rye, or Brie and apple soup
with fougasse. Whatever your palate desires, The Soup and Bread
Cookbook will, as The Splendid Table suggests, "banish the
Campbell's from your cupboard forever." Pull up a chair. Open the
book. Soup's on!

Then each of the 60 main recipes is photographed and includes Wild Mixed Mixed Mushroom Broth with Pearled Spelt and Tarragon; Prawn, Pernod and Pink Peppercorn Broth with Asian Greens; and Venison Soup with Beluga Lentils and Cherries.
Soup is the ultimate in healthy eating. Studies have shown that
food, when blended with water, performs a remarkable nutritional
trick: it remains in your stomach for longer, allowing the
absorption of maximum nutrients while at the same time keeping you
feeling full.In Just Soup, Henrietta Clancy shares the secrets of
some of the world's best soups, from punchy Asian broths to the
slow-cooked comfort foods of our childhood. Her delicious recipes
are based on centuries of nutritional wisdom, and show that soup,
so often overlooked as a starter or side dish, can take pride of
place as the main meal.This book will quite simply change the way
you eat.
Through recipes that use traditional medicinal ingredients, "A
Tradition of Soup" provides a narrative of the Southern Chinese
immigrants who migrated in large numbers during the last
half-century, the struggles they faced and overcame, and the soups
they used to heal and nourish their bodies. Author Teresa Chen,
PhD, who was born into a Cantonese family that valued the many
traditions of its regional cuisine, weaves in colourful threads of
Chinese culture including food, medicine, festivals, pottery,
language, and geography. She covers soup tradition, terminology,
techniques, and utensils, and presents close to 150 delicious
recipes.Consistent with the Chinese approach to health, Chen groups
her soup recipes according to seasons and health concerns and
presents a range of soup categories from Cantonese taxonomy: tong
(simple broths, soups, and stews), geng (thickened soups), juk
(rice soups or porridges), and Tongshui (sweet soups), as well as
noodle soups, wonton and dumpling soups, and vegetable soups. She
also focuses on dahn (steaming) and louhfo (slow-cooking) soups
associated with medicine and healing. Chen's recipes feature fresh,
natural, and seasonal food for nurturing and her ingredients are
selected to balance a person's physical constitution, be it cold or
hot or leaning toward dampness or sluggishness. This conscious
integration of medicine and food is especially prominent in the
preparation of soups, which can be looked upon as a palatable
version of herbal tea.While the recipes in "A Tradition of Soup"
call for ingredients that may seem foreign to Western readers, most
of them are available in Chinese grocery stores. To help readers
identify and procure these items, Chen provides a beautifully
photographed ingredients glossary complete with Chinese names,
pronunciation and detailed descriptions.
Much more than a collection of remarkable soups, Mona Talbott's
"Zuppe" is also a wise and gentle tutorial on the "the beauty and
delicious rewards of frugality" and how the humblest foods can be
the most profoundly satisfying. In addition to 50 recipes, Talbott
shares approaches and techniques that can change the way a cook
thinks about economy, improvisation, and using all the flavors and
nutrients inherent in each ingredient.
A Chez Panisse graduate, Talbott was chosen by Alice Waters to be
Executive Chef of the innovative Rome Sustainable Food Project at
the American Academy in Rome. There, while cooking for the
Academy's creative community of scholars, historians, artists,
archaeologists, and architects, Talbott perfected a repertoire of
dishes made from local, seasonal, organic ingredients. Central to
the menu are soups.
Inspired by the traditions of cucina povera, the so-called "cuisine
of the poor" that has been the source of so many brilliant Italian
dishes, Talbott's recipes waste nothing, employ the concept of
arrangiarsi ("making do"), and skillfully transform leftovers. And,
in another nod to the wisdom and economy of traditional kitchens,
she also points out which soups can easily be made into one-dish
meals with the addition of a single ingredient such as a poached
egg, a piece of grilled toast, or even clams.
Organized seasonally, "Zuppe" also serves as a practical guide to
using the bounty of farmers markets throughout the year.
