  In The Food and Wine of France, influential food writer Edward Behr investigates French cuisine and what it means, in encounters from Champagne to Provence. He tells the stories of French artisans and chefs who continue to work at the highest level. Many people in and out of France have noted for a long time the slow retreat of French cuisine, concerned that it is losing its important place in the country's culture and in the world culture of food. And yet, as Behr writes, good French food remains very, very delicious. No cuisine is better. The sensuousness is overt. French cooking is generous, both obvious and subtle, simple and complex, rustic and utterly refined. A lot of recent inventive food by comparison is wildly abstract and austere. In the tradition of great food writers, Behr seeks out the best of French food and wine. He shows not only that it is as relevant as ever, but he also challenges us to see that it might become the world's next cutting-edge cuisine.The Food and Wine of France is a remarkable journey of discovery. It is also an investigation into why classical French food is so extraordinarily delicious-and why it will endure.

  “An informed and enthusiastic culinary tour of the northern Italian region of Emilia-Romagna . . . [with] certifiably splendid . . . dishes” —Kirkus Reviews  
   
  Just when you thought you knew the best of Northern Italy, along comes Lynne Rossetto Kasper to introduce you to Emilia-Romagna, a fertile wedge between Milan, Venice, and Florence, as gastronomically important as any land in the world. The lush homeland of balsamic vinegar, Prosciutto di Parma, tortellini, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, this is a region venerated by Italy's food cognoscenti. “Ask an Italian where to take only one meal in Italy, and, after recommending his mother's house, he will more than likely send you to Emilia Romagna” writes Kasper. 
   
  The first American book to present the food of this singular northern region, The Splendid Table will take you from Parma, Bologna, Modena, Ravenna, and Ferrara to tiny villages in the foothills of the Apennines, from Renaissance banquet halls to the simplest of farmhouses, offering history, folklore, full-color photographs and substantive cooking tips along the way. 
   
  With over 200 recipes with wine and menu suggestions, including over thirty desserts and a fifty-six recipe pasta chapter containing many dishes never before seen in America, The Splendid Table will become a good friend, well thumbed and lovingly stained over years of good cooking and good reading. 
   
  “[Kasper] pays homage to recipes ranging from the 16th century . . . to the eighteenth . . . but pays equal and fascinating attention to modern inventions.” —Publishers Weekly 
   
  “One of the most informative and irresistible books ever written about the food of Italy.” —Anna Teresa Callen, author of My Love for Naples and Food and Memories of Abruzzo

  The master chef and seven-time barbecue champion shares 175 delicious, winning sauce recipes, plus grilling hints. 
   
  It’s easy for any backyard chef to serve up tantalizing food from the grill! Paul Kirk offers 175 winning recipes that impart bold, zesty flavor to every cut of meat. Kirk covers the classic American sauces—with tomatoes, mustard, sugar, or vinegar at their base—and offers up a wealth of fresh and creative brews flavored with such things as raspberries, pineapple, ginger, chile peppers, and more.  
   
  In special Master Classes and elsewhere, Kirk reveals the basic building blocks of spice mixtures, rubs, marinades, bastes, and sauces. He explains how to layer them during the cooking process, so that grilled or barbecued food not only smacks of flavor, but brisket is more tender, steaks form a crispy crust, and ribs melt in the mouth.
