Summary

Hillary Davis shows us in French from the Market that French food isn’t always haute cuisine. Traditional, daily French cooking is provincial and farm-driven. It is also an art, that uses the freshest and finest ingredients available from gardens, markets, and local vendors to put nourishing meals on the table. And, as Davis point out, French home cooking is not hard. The 100 plus recipes for starters, soups, salads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, and desserts in this cookbook, along with detailed instructions and tips, prove her right.

    From its first use by the Ancient Egyptians, the barrel has left an unmistakable imprint on human history. The Romans used the barrel in all corners of their vast empire, and explorers could not have charted the globe or opened up trade routes without barrels to store their food and water. And in all its thousands of years of use, the barrel's basic design has barely changed at all—a testament to its sheer and simple perfection. 
 
 
  
Cask Strength is more than a history book. In it, Mike Gerrard, an award-winning travel and drinks writer, investigates the making, buying, and selling of barrels and details how drinks like wine, tequila, rum, cognac, and others are enhanced by specific kinds of barrel production. 
 
  
  
Today, modern distillers, brewers, and wine-makers continue to use barrels in new, creative ways—with the barrel providing up to 60-70% of their flavors. Without the barrel, we would have no bourbon, no oak-aged chardonnay, no barrel-aged stouts . . . and no tabasco sauce, either. 
 
  
 
Gerrard's expertise and palpable passion for good beverages interestingly made will ignite the curiosities of booze fans and history buffs alike as Cask Strength traces the simple splendor of the barrel.

    A nerdy farmer—and doctor with expertise in nutrition—provides insight into how best to prepare and savor vegetables while recounting his journey in building an organic vegetable farm and discovering the family that farmed the same land some 200 years ago. 
  
Dr. Michael Compton shares his passionate approach to savoring vegetables daily from across eight plant families: the Brassicas, the Alliums, the Legumes, the Chenopods, the Aster Greens, the Umbellifers, the Cucurbits, and the Nightshades. Trading in city life for an old stone house and a fertile field in the scenic and historic Hudson Valley, New York, Compton built a compact, organic-certified vegetable, fruit, and flower farm. Sharing the joy and proud successes—like selling piles of gorgeous rainbow chard at the farmers market—as well as funny personal admissions—like failing at spinach every year and crying over stolen cabbage—you will discover the nutritive properties of numerous vegetables and be inspired to savor them as Compton does. In building his farm, Compton uncovered who farmed his fertile land long before him, coming to feel kinship with the Delamater family by understanding how they farmed and ate some 200 years ago. 
  
As a doctor of lifestyle medicine, prevention, and psychiatry, Compton shares lighthearted scientific facts, including why onions make us cry and beets can make our pee pink, while giving nutritional facts and “Free Health Advice.” And as a farmer, he recounts his delights in growing a bounty of clean, delicious, and nutritious food for himself and others. You might even find yourself wanting to test the greenness of your thumbs or determining whether or not you, too, are a natural-born berry picker.

    Herbs and spices have been an integral part of human culture for centuries, shaping our food, health, and even our daily rituals. From the rich, aromatic notes of basil in Italian cuisine to the vibrant warmth of cumin in Middle Eastern dishes, these tiny powerhouses of flavor elevate the ordinary to extraordinary. Beyond taste, herbs and spices also carry centuries of tradition, medicinal uses, and cultural significance. Whether grown in your backyard, balcony, or kitchen windowsill, the act of cultivating these plants provides a deeper connection to the food we prepare and the flavors we savor. 
Why Grow Your Own? 
While many of us enjoy the convenience of pre-packaged herbs and spices from the grocery store, there is something incredibly special about growing your own. Freshly picked herbs from your garden are unparalleled in both flavor and aroma. The difference between store-bought dried basil and freshly cut basil is striking; it’s not just about taste but also the vibrant green color, the essential oils, and the sheer joy of picking your own ingredients. Growing your own herbs and spices allows you to create a garden that’s uniquely yours, tailored to your tastes, and adapted to your climate. Additionally, when you grow your own, you have access to herbs and spices at their peak potency, without the added preservatives or packaging of store-bought varieties. 
The Basics of Growing: A Beginner’s Guide 
Starting a herb and spice garden is simpler than it may seem. Even if you have no prior gardening experience, herbs like basil, rosemary, and mint are relatively easy to grow and require minimal attention. Many of these plants thrive in a variety of conditions, making them perfect for beginner gardeners. Whether you’re planting in the ground or using containers, herbs are incredibly adaptable and can be grown in almost any space—from large backyards to small apartment balconies.
