Summary

Every wine has a story. In this collection of elegantly written essays from the past thirty years, updated with a new introduction and endnotes, renowned author Gerald Asher informs wine enthusiasts with insightful, engrossing accounts of wines from Europe and America that offer just as much for those who simply enjoy vivid evocations of people and places. Asher puts wine in its context by taking the reader on a series of discursive journeys that start with the carafe at his elbow. In his introduction, Asher says, "Wine . . . draws on everything and leads everywhere." Whether the subject is a supposedly simple red wine shared in a Parisian café or a Napa Valley Cabernet tasted with its vintner, every essay in A Carafe of Red is as pleasurable as the wines themselves.

    150 traditional favorites from Chicago’s famed Berghoff Restaurant alongside contemporary culinary creations, plus a guide to entertaining at home. 
     
    With The Berghoff Family Cookbook, fans of the beloved restaurant can now make Berghoff classics at home, including the famous Berghoff Creamed Spinach, German Potato Salad, Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Apple Strudel, Black Forest Cake, and many more treasured and—until now—secret recipes from the Berghoff’s celebrated kitchens. 
     
    More than a collection of wonderful recipes, The Berghoff Family Cookbook is a piece of Chicago history and an essential guide for cooking and party planning. What started as a small saloon in 1898 quickly became a Chicago dining institution when Prohibition prompted founder Herman Joseph Berghoff to start serving meals to stay in business. When Prohibtion ended in 1933, the Berghoff Restaurant was the first Chicago establishment to receive a liquor license, and it soon became famous for both its traditional German food and its Dortmunder beer. The Berghoff Family Cookbook offers a rare and personal glimpse into the history of a Chicago landmark, complete with full-color photographs of Berghoff’s no-nonsense waitstaff and legendary chefs, its iconic stained-glass windows and murals, the famous mahogany bar, and the chandeliers, as well as old menus and historical items never before seen by the public. 
     
    Jan and Carlyn Berghoff not only provide treasured memories about the restaurant, but they also offer their wealth of knowledge and experience on beer and food pairings, how to host a bourbon tasting, party planning, and tips for memorable and hassle-free gatherings. In addition, Carlyn Berghoff shares many of her favorite recipes from her successful catering company, including Shrimp Martinis, Pesto Cheesecake, Grilled Vegetable Wraps, Pan-Seared Tilapia with Tabasco Broth, and Almond-Pear Tartlets. The Berghoff Family Cookbook helps cooks everywhere create delicious food, special celebrations, and lasting traditions.

    “An enjoyable and practical guide to dealing with game in the kitchen. Partridge, duck, venison, pheasant and grouse are all managed imaginatively.” —The Express On visiting his local butcher, Norman Tebbit, food lover and family cook, wondered why people would rather buy tasteless, factory-farmed chicken when they could eat good-quality game often for less money. “I think mostly,” replied the butcher, “it’s because they don’t know how to cook them—and they think it would be very difficult.” First published in 2009 and unavailable for many years, this is a revised, updated and redesigned edition, now containing new recipes, of this immensely popular cookbook. Norman Tebbit showcases his favorite game recipes including pheasant, partridge, duck, grouse, wood pigeon, woodcock, deer, rabbit, and many more. Whether the recipe is a relatively simple casserole, or a more challenging dish, the easy-to-follow style guarantees consistent results. The book also includes a concise guide to game, instructions on preparation, advice on kitchen equipment, handy conversion charts, and individual hints and tips on the various game included. Written with humor, The Game Cook is a practical handbook of mouthwatering recipes for eco-cooks, traditional food-lovers and those who are looking for some money-saving ways to provide tasty, wholesome meat dishes to the family. “How to cook a catalogue of beasts [Norman] has stalked and bagged during a lifetime as a keen game shooter.” —Independent
