Recipes from the classic period of English cookery, approximately
1660 to 1890, as a handy compendium for the curious, saving them
the need to own a complete shelf of antiquarian books. Soup was
never intended as a stand-alone dish. At its first showing it was
merely the broth from a stew: the meat served in one dish, the
liquid in another - we are familiar with the idea from the French
'pot-au-feu' or 'bouillabaisse'. And the very word 'soup' referred
to the 'sops' of bread put at the bottom of the dish to soak up and
thicken the liquor. Eileen White has selected texts that explains
the place of soup in our diet, and which offer recipes which can be
tried today (and just a few that are better to read than to
cook).Eileen White is an historian who has worked mainly in the
fields of early English drama and the history of food.

Big Bend resident rancher Hallie Stillwell has added her voice and
favorite chili recipe to her friend Frank X. Tolbert's classic
book, "A Bowl of Red."
Written by the late Dallas newspaper columnist and author, "A Bowl
of Red" is an entertaining history of the peppery cowboy cuisine.
This new printing of the book is based on Tolbert's 1972 revised
edition, in which he describes the founding of the World
Championship Chili Cookoff, now held annually in the ghost town of
Terlingua, Texas.
Hallie Stillwell was one of the three judges at the first Terlingua
cookoff, held in 1967. "We were blindfolded to sample the chili,"
the ninety-six-year-old writer/rancher says in her foreword. She
voted for one of the milder concoctions; another judge cast his
vote for a hotter version. The third judge, who was mayor of
Terlingua, sampled each pot but then pronounced his taste buds
paralyzed and declared the contest a tie. There's been a "rematch"
in Terlingua every November since then. "I have never failed to
attend," Stillwell says.
Stillwell's recipe for lean venison chili is her favorite, one she
prepared in large quantities for the hungry hands at the Stillwell
Ranch in the Big Bend. This new printing of the classic also
features an index to other recipes in the book, such as "Beto's
prison chili" and chili verde con carne (green chili). The book
also includes Tolbert's tales of searching out the best cooks of
Southwestern specialties like rattlesnake "stew" and jalapeno corn
bread.

Norma Miller has personally tried and tested these 125 tasty
recipes in the latest soup makers. The soups range from established
favourites (sometimes with a twist), such as Butternut Soup with
Toasted Pine Nuts and Chilli Pesto, Ginger Chicken and Lemon Grass
Soup, Salmon and Watercress Soup, Red Curry Tomato and Mushroom
Soup with Noodles; or - for something a little different - Beetroot
Soup with Tamarind and Yogurt, Coconut, Lime and Fish Soup and
Chilled Cucumber, Blueberry and Almond Gazpacho.
Kilner jars are perfect for a healthy and delicious salad. The
dressing goes on the bottom, with heavier or harder ingredients
making up the next layer(s), perhaps topped off with some fresh
leafy greens. Everything stays crisp and separate until it is time
to toss the salad in a bowl ready to serve and enjoy. When made
ahead these 125 tempting and innovative recipes last for days in
the fridge for almost a week's worth of lunches and/or dinners.
These 'grab and go' salads are ideal on those harried weekday
mornings or busy weekends. Tanya Linton includes creative snacks
and breakfasts as well as a chapter devoted to rice bowls and even
desserts. Lettuce-based salads like Italian Salad (chopped salami,
spicy green beans, white beans and Pecorino), Green Goddess (sugar
snap peas, proper peas and edamame with hoisin chicken) or Sweet
and Salty Salad (rocket, figs, buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto)
are great for the whole family. For something more hearty, there
are also noodle and grain/legume based salads like Pasta Carbonara
Salad (pasta, cooked eggs, cooked pancetta, baby arugula), Chicken
Soup Salad (noodles, carrots, celery, chopped kale and chicken) and
Layered Tabbouleh Salad (cous cous, cucumber, tomatoes, parsley,
onion). For a dessert idea for an office celebration or a picnic,
