Summary

“[A] fantastic new book and entertaining guide . . . Lends guidance on gatherings from a Mardi Gras Jamboree and a Polynesian Luau to a Goblin Fest.” —myNewOrleans.comAuthor Brian Theis presents a well-rounded cookbook that takes us back to the mid-twentieth century and the foods that fed the nation’s craving for comfort and world travel. In seasonal chapters from New Year’s to the winter holidays, he provides curated and themed menus, easy to follow recipes, and kitchen tips. From casseroles and comfort foods, a Valentine’s Day party and a Mardi Gras Jamboree to a Fiesta Mexicana and Thanksgiving Bons Temps Rouler, the dishes are just as delicious as they are picturesque! Interviews with celebrity chefs and restaurateurs, including Gabriele Corcos, Billy Oliva, JoAnn Clevenger, and Phillip Lopez, and a tribute to Leah Chase round out the offerings in this amazing cookbook!“This new cookbook has a spectacularly retro vibe, with midcentury-style illustrations and graphic design, and food photography that evokes the finest images in the Good Housekeeping oeuvre. The concept itself is rather retro, offering menus for fun, quasi-kitschy theme parties throughout the year. And, as you’d expect from a lifelong student of Creole food who calls New Orleans home, Theis’ recipes for a Mardi Gras jamboree are dynamite.” —The Takeout“A fun guide to graciously hosting loved ones. Brian Theis does a great job melding his innate Southern Charm with experience gained from travel and time abroad. His book will be a welcome addition to people who enjoy sharing food and drink with friends.” —Jacques Pépin

They discuss familiar and unfamiliar grape varietals, local terroirs, and the vagaries of Mother Nature—as well as how new technologies are revolutionizing historic winemaking practices.   Complete with personal recipes, maps of winemaking regions, and an aroma wheel capturing the vast array of wine's complex flavors and aromas, The Winemaker’s Hand is a globe-hopping tour through the world of wine.

    The author of Le French Oven introduces the flavors of Southern France with more than 100 recipes—plus tips, stories and more in this illustrated volume. From easy weeknight meals to more elaborate Sunday dinners, learn the recipes and cooking methods of the "other" French cuisine—the light, fresh flavors of the French Riviera. Like most Mediterranean fare, Cuisine Niçoise uses olive oil rather than butter, and focuses on fresh, locally sourced produce rather than rich sauces.   Cooking instructor Hillary Davis was a resident of the Niçoise region for more than a decade. Now she shares recipes and cooking techniques that celebrate the South of France in Cuisine Niçoise. The recipes range from salads to pizzas and from starters to desserts. Traditional Salade Niçoise, Pistou Tomato Tart in a Basil Crust, and Limoncello Cake with Towering Meringue are just a few of the featured delights.   Filled with information, tips, and stories, this complete guide also includes sidebars about Niçoise culture and food markets; additional recipes from three cutting-edge Niçoise chefs; a section on typical Niçoise ingredients; and more.

    “Brilliant and original . . . From slow feasts to fast food, Linford shows that, no matter what we are cooking, time is of the essence.” —Bee Wilson, TheSunday Times 
 
The Missing Ingredient is the first book to consider the intrinsic yet often forgotten role of time in creating the flavors and textures we love. Through a series of encounters with ingredients, producers, cooks, artisans, and chefs, acclaimed author of The Chef’s Library Jenny Linford shows how, time and again, time itself is the invisible ingredient in our most cherished recipes. Playfully structured through different periods of time, the book examines the fast and slow, from the seconds it takes for sugar to caramelize to the centuries it takes for food heritage to be passed down from our ancestors. From the brevity of blanching and the days required in the crucial process of fermentation, to the months of slow ripening that make a great cheddar and the years needed for certain wines to reach their peak, Linford dissects each segment of time needed to cook—and enjoy—simple and intricate cuisine alike. Including vignettes from the immediacy of taste (seconds), the exactitude of pasta (minutes), and smoking and barbecuing meats (hours), to maturing cheese (weeks), infusing vanilla extract (months), and perfecting parmigiana and port (years), The Missing Ingredient is an enlightening and essential volume for foodies, bakers, home cooks, chefs, and anyone who appreciates a perfectly-executed dish. 
 
“Something quite remarkable: a treatise on the single most vital and most overlooked element of food and cooking that’s as page-turning as a thriller. A glorious, essential addition to every food lover’s book shelves.” —Marina O’Loughlin, restaurant critic
