Summary

The Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist explores Poland’s vibrant and modern culinary life in this beautifully photographed cookbook with 90+ recipes. 
 
For too many people, the term “Polish cooking” conjures to mind heavy, greasy, flavorless food. But historian and journalist Anne Applebaum, who has lived in the country since before the fall of Communism, knows better. With recipes inspired by her home in the Polish countryside, Anne sets the record straight about this fresh and delightful cuisine.  
 
From a Polish Country House Kitchen offers a tantalizing look at Poland’s cultural heritage, turbulent history, and culinary rejuvenation. With recipes including Caviar and Blini, Steak Tartare, Zupa Gryzbowa, Trout with Lemon Cream Sauce, as well as pierogis, pancakes, latkes, and desserts, Anne shares the sustaining foods of her Polish country home with home cooks the world over.
Available since: 11/09/2012.
Print length: 296 pages.

    A delightfully informative guide to two of the world’s most rewarding pleasures—fine wine and great literature—that make for an irresistible pairing.   Nothing in the world is more satisfying to the soul than a glass of excellent cabernet sauvignon, pinot grigio, bordeaux, or any number of fine varietals—unless it’s curling up by the fire with a truly exceptional novel, history, or collection of short fiction. Now Patrick Alexander, wine aficionado and author of The Illustrated Proust, combines these unparalleled pleasures in a unique guidebook to delight connoisseurs of both Gatsby and the grape.   In The Booklovers’ Guide to Wine, Alexander shares his passion for the culture and history of wine and his love of great authors and their enduring works. Eschewing the traditional pairings of food and drink, he explores instead the most pleasing combinations of reds, whites, and rosés with their most compatible writers—be it Shakespeare with sherry, Jane Austin with chardonnay, or J.R.R. Tolkien with albariño. In addition, he examines the most interesting and thought-provoking wine references in literature while providing an intriguing history of the beloved beverage from biblical times to the latest trends.   Chock-full of intriguing facts, expert opinions, and entertaining anecdotes, The Booklovers’ Guide to Wine is a book to be savored by anyone who appreciates the complexity of a full-bodied shiraz or the unmistakable flavor of a great author.
