Desserts That Have Killed Better Men Than Me or Outdoor Feasts

Desserts That Have Killed Better Men Than Me

Author: Jeremy Jackson

Warning: This is a no-holds-barred book of decadence. Do you keep unsalted butter in your freezer? Not afraid of a little saturated fat? Then indulge -- if you dare!

The recipes in Jeremy Jackson's Desserts That Have Killed Better Men Than Me pack a one-two butter-and-sugar punch. Have a lick of Snice Cream (that's Fresh Snow Ice Cream) or slurp down a Banana Smoothie. Chomp on Chocolate-Dipped Ranger Cookies or dive into a Chocolate Sinkhole. Just be prepared to defend your bounty. These desserts are so delicious that a food fight might start over the last piece of cake!

Don't be fooled by the simple ingredients and easy-to-follow directions. Jeremy's desserts are not to be taken lightly. They're not for the faint of heart -- or stomach. Danger lurks beneath that delectable layer of Chocolate Ganache. So suit up in a pair of elastic waist pants, arm yourself with a fork and a giant glass of milk, and prepare for battle.

If you can survive Three-Lemon Cheesecake and My School Lunch Cream Puffs, you can probably handle the Peach Pie with Almond Crumb Topping. Polish that off and you just might be ready for the Hanging-Crust Rhubarb Cobbler.

In the world of desserts, there is no room for mediocrity. Desserts That Have Killed Better Men Than Me has no filler or predictable, so-so recipes (and absolutely no almond bark!), just good, honest, and deadly delicious ones -- with plenty of heavy cream.

Library Journal

Jackson (The Cornbread Book: A Love Story with Recipes) believes that the problem with most cookbooks is that they just have too many recipes, forcing readers to sift through the culinary chaff to get to the good stuff. Cooks won't have that difficulty with this all-too-tempting collection of 60 recipes, since almost every dish is worth sampling. After a brief discussion of ingredients and equipment, Jackson divides his recipes into different categories, including fruit desserts, pies, cookies, and even uncategorizable treats. Covering desserts from Apple Galette to Sticky Toffee Pudding, the recipes are written in clear and easy-to-follow steps, and the author's witty introductions to each are as delicious as the desserts themselves. This charmingly small treasure is highly recommended for most public libraries.-John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Canadians at Table: Food, Fellowship, and Folklore: A Culinary History of Canada

Author: Dorothy Duncan

Canadians at Table is an introduction to the diverse culinary history of Canada.We learn about the lessons of survival of the First Nations, the foods that fuelled the fur traders, and the adaptability of the early settlers in their new environment. As communities developed and transportation improved, waves of newcomers arrived, bringing their memories of foods, beverages, and traditions they had known, which were almost impossible to implement in their new homeland.They learned instead to use native plants for many of their needs. Community events and institutions developed to serve religious, social, and economic needs — from agricultural and temperance societies to Women's Institutes, from markets and fairs to community meals and celebrations.

One New World food, pemmican — a light, durable, and highly nourishing blend of dried and powdered buffalo, elk, or deer meat that is mixed with dried berries, packed into a leather bag, then sealed with grease — was introduced by the First Nations to the fur traders coming to Canada. Small amounts of pemmican replaced large amounts of regular food, freeing up precious hunting and food preparation time and allowing more space to carry additional furs and trade goods.

From the self-sufficient First Nations and early settlers to the convenience foods of today, Canadians at Table gives us an overview of one of the most unique and fascinating food histories in the world and how it continues to change to serve Canadians from coast to coast.

Refined Taste or Food

Refined Taste: Sugar, Confectionery, and Consumers in Nineteenth-Century America

Author: Wendy A Woloson

American consumers today regard sugar as a mundane and sometimes even troublesome substance linked to hyperactivity in children and other health concerns. Yet two hundred years ago American consumers treasured sugar as a rare commodity and consumed it only in small amounts. In Refined Tastes: Sugar, Confectionery, and Consumers in Nineteenth-Century America, Wendy A. Woloson demonstrates how the cultural role of sugar changed from being a precious luxury good to a ubiquitous necessity. Sugar became a social marker that established and reinforced class and gender differences.

During the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Woloson explains, the social elite saw expensive sugar and sweet confections as symbols of their wealth. As refined sugar became more affordable and accessible, new confections-children's candy, ice cream, and wedding cakes-made their way into American culture, acquiring a broad array of social meanings. Originally signifying male economic prowess, sugar eventually became associated with femininity and women's consumerism. Woloson's work offers a vivid account of this social transformation-along with the emergence of consumer culture in America.

What People Are Saying

Warren Belasco
This is an intriguing, highly original history of the democratization of sugar marketing in 19th-century America. Separate chapters narrate the evolution of children's candy, ice cream parlors, fine chocolates, ornamental sugar works, and homemade sweets. In tracing the various ways that sugar became more widely accessible and more widely used, this book stands within the growing literature that deals with the origins and evolution of modern consumer culture.

Food

Author: John Knechtel

Shortlisted for the 2008 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

Food is essential to our sense of place and our sense of self, but today--as fast food nation meets the slow food movement and eating locally collides with on-demand arugula--our food habits are shifting. Food examines and imagines these changes, with projects by writers and artists that explore the cultural and emotional resonance of food, from the "everyday Dada" of mashed potatoes and Jell-O to the rocket science of food eaten by astronauts in space.

In Food, an artist photographs everything he ate in 2006 (and some things he didn't eat, including "Food I Left in the Fridge Too Long") and finds the results both "seductive and repulsive"; a writer describes the global agro-assembly line that produces an organic bento box for Japanese commuters containing rice and vegetables from California, pork from Mexico, and salmon from Alaska; a short story writer offers an eight-page graphic novel, Eating in Cafeterias; a landscape architect compares a commercial orange with an organic apple using visualized data; an award-winning New York City food writer tells a postmodern tale about small-town Chinese-American cuisine (featuring chop suey, egg rolls, and flaming lava cocktails); an expert explains the principles of urban food sustainability. Other projects include a map of the free food from fruit trees on public land in a Los Angeles neighborhood, a visionary plan for farms in skyscrapers, and a surprising report on food security. The essays, artwork, and stories in Food offer readers a full menu of intellectual nourishment and aesthetic delight.

Food and the City in Europe since 1800

Author: Peter J Atkins

There has been a rapid urbanization throughout Western Europe since the Eighteenth Century. Bringing together studies from across the continent, this edited volume looks at the impact this urbanization has had upon diets and food systems over the past 200 years. It stresses the fundamental links between food systems, food cultures and food politics on one hand and the key changes in European social history in the other. It responds to key questions such as: when and how did local food production cease to be able to provide for the city and when did improved transport conditions and liberal commercial relations replace local by supra-regional food supplies? How far did the food industry contribute to improved living conditions in cities? What influence did urban consumers have? It also examines issues of food hygiene and health impacts in cities, looks at various food innovations and how 'new' foods often gained acceptance first in cities, and explores how eating fashions have changed over the centuries.

The book features about one hundred recipes for both baked and unbaked cheesecakes and related delicacies. It also includes a recipe for an appetizer cheesecake and other surprising combinations.

How the Rich Get Thin or Mans Whirled

How the Rich Get Thin: Park Avenue's Top Diet Doctor Reveals the Secrets to Losing Weight and Feeling Great

Author: Jana Klauer

Built around a two week program that emphasizes the importance of calcium to weight loss, How The Rich Get Thin can give its followers the elegant, lean body we all envy on the Upper East Side..

Publishers Weekly

Klauer's diet plan isn't revolutionary, but her approach is noteworthy. The author, a research fellow at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital with a practice on Park Avenue, has a clientele comprising primarily successful businessmen and -women, "ladies who lunch" and celebrities-people with the drive to do whatever it takes to succeed, in the boardroom, in social circles or on the gym floor. They understand and practice Klauer's "nonnegotiables": daily exercise, the consumption of protein and calcium, the management of food cravings and the elimination of processed food. Although some readers won't be able to follow all of Klauer's advice-a personal trainer isn't within everyone's budget, nor can everyone choose the healthy Manhattan chain Better Burger over McDonald's-but there are many useful suggestions here. Try grilled shrimp over lentils with a cup of steamed broccoli for dinner, with a side of mineral water, and when traveling, beware the hotel minibar (the Park Avenue mindset creeps in with such lines as "better groups, such as... the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons, allow special meal requests that can be preordered"). Sticking to Klauer's strict regimen isn't easy, but neither is life on Park Avenue. Agent, Richard Curtis. (Jan.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Besides serving up recipes, Peterson also prepares novices by encouraging preparation: assorted cookware and kitchen tools, scales, spices, and staples are covered, as are food shopping and storage. This is a friendly, arm-around-the-shoulder way for guys to shed their cooking inhibitions, don aprons, and secure spatulas without fear; a cookbook you can't beat. Essential for all collections.-Steven G. Fullwood, NYPL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Author: Holly Hughes

Best Food Writing 2001 brings together, for the second year, the most exceptional writing culled from the past year's books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and web sites. Within its five sections—Stocking the Larder, Home Cooking, Someone's in the Kitchen, Dining Around and Personal Tastes—read our best writers on everything from the year's most celebrated chefs to extraordinary restaurant experiences, from the latest trends in ingredients and equipment to unforgettable memoirs inspired by cooking and eating. Neither cook nor food lover should be without this remarkable annual collection. Included are contributions by R.W. Apple, Jr., Amanda Hesser, Ruth Reichl, Jeffrey Steingarten, Jane and Michael Stern, Calvin Trillin, Gael Greene, Mimi Sheraton, Jonathon Reynolds, Eric Schlosser, and many others.

Publishers Weekly

Following last year's initial anthology, which she also edited, Hughes (Frommer's New York City with Kids) serves up this year's offerings like a satisfying, well-rounded meal. The selections are divided into six sections: Stocking the Larder, Food Fights, Home Cooking, Someone's in the Kitchen, Dining Around and Personal Tastes. The contributors include food industry insiders as well as professional writers who are lay foodies in their spare time, Jeffrey Eugenides and Malcolm Gladwell among them. From notable food critics like Colman Andrews and Ruth Reichl to such writers as Derek Cooper and Mort Rosenblum, the anthology provides engaging insight into food, cooking, eating and various relevant cultural and emotional phenomena. With extracts culled from books, magazines, newspapers and the Internet, the compilation ranges from the serious "Toro, Toro, Toro" by Jeffrey Steingarten to the amusing "Abstinence Makes the Taste Buds Grow Fonder" by David Leite. Short, light pieces provide welcome interludes to the longer, denser fare. All are enjoyable and worthwhile. Foodies will recognize many of the selections from magazines such as Gourmet and Food & Wine and books such as The Last Days of Haute Cuisine by Patric Kuh and Reichl's Comfort Me with Apples. (Dec.) Forecast: Foodies browsing extracts such as Rosenblum's delightful "Another Roadside Attraction," taken from A Goose in Toulouse, will likely walk away with a copy and may probe the shelves for books excerpted in this volume.

The American Ethnic Cookbook For Students

Author: Mark H Zanger

The first cookbook to present the dishes of more than 120 ethnic groups now in America, The American Ethnic Cookbook for Students illustrates how those dishes have changed throughout the years. This cookbook contains more than 300 recipes plus references to ethnography, food history, culture, and the history of American immigration. A bibliography at the end of each ethnic group section is included.

School Library Journal

Gr 5 Up-A rich source of 400 recipes from 122 alphabetically arranged ethnic groups including 21 Native American tribes. However, these are not from the original culture, but rather are the American adaptations by people who remember another time and place. For each group there is a short informative history and a current estimate of population, followed by two to six recipes. The annotated bibliography includes Web sites that provide sources for more dishes. The family favorites range in difficulty, and a few line drawings illustrate complicated procedures. An instructional chapter on kitchen safety is useful for students as is the recipe index and an index by state. The appendix provides cross-cultural foods and their names in various countries. This book supplements Carole Lisa Albyn's Multicultural Cookbook for Students (1993) and Lois S. Webb's Holidays of the World Cookbook (1995, both Oryx). It includes groups that are difficult to find in other sources such as Carpatho-Rusyn-Americans, Hmong-Americans, and Slovene-Americans. Using these recipes will be a great motivation for students to learn about the varied heritage of our immigrant nation.-Sandra L.

Book of Tea

Author: Okakura Kakuzo

In 1906 in turn-of-the century Boston, a small, esoteric book about tea was written with the intention of being read aloud in the famous salon of Isabella Gardner. It was authored by Okakura Kakuzo, a Japanese philosopher, art expert, and curator. Little known at the time, Kakuzo would emerge as one of the great thinkers of the early 20th century, a genius who was insightful, witty and greatly responsible for bridging Western and Eastern cultures.
Nearly a century later, Kakuzo's The Book of Tea is still beloved the world over. In this edition, readers are treated to Kakuzo's delicious wisdom along with evocative quadratone photographs in an exquisite new package. Interwoven with a rich history of tea and its place in Japanese society is poignant commentary on Eastern culture and our ongoing fascination with it, as well as illuminating essays on art, spirituality, poetry, and more. The Book of Tea is a delightful cup of enlightenment from a man far ahead of his time.
Author Bio: Okakura Kakuzo (1862-1913) devoted his life to teaching, art, Zen, and the preservation of Japanese art and culture, working as an ambassador, teacher, writer, and, at the time of his death, as the Curator fo Chinese and Japanese Art at the Boston Museum.

Liza Dalby has lived intermittently in Japan since she was a teenager. She is the first non-Japanese ever to have become a geisha. She received a PhD in anthropology from Stanford University in 1978 and is the author of several books, including Geisha, and the upcoming Tale of Murasaki.

Booknews

Kakuzo was a leading figure in Japanese art and culture at the end of the 19th century, and this book, first published in 1906, is a classic treatise explicating the philosophical nuances of tea and the tea ceremony in Japanese culture. This edition contains an introduction by Liza Dalby who was the first American trained as a Geisha in the 1970s, and elegant photos by Daniel Proctor. Annotation c.
