Mangoes & Curry Leaves - Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent

Jeffrey Alford, Naomi Duguid

Sinopse

For this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.

A Perfect Glass of Wine -...

Brian St. Pierre

A down-to-earth, entertaining approach to the art of drinking wine—full of suggestions and advice—from the acclaimed wine writer. Many people see the enjoyment of wine as an intimidating and complicated matter, requiring a mastery of arcane rules and rituals. In fact, there’s no more to it than putting each wine to the ultimate test: Does it taste good? Wine writer Brian St. Pierre’s book begins by introducing the basic flavors of the several grape varieties used in making wines around the world. Once those are understood, all the rest flows smoothly—what distinguishes the colors and types, how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, and even how much to spend on a bottle. St. Pierre’s sensible approach combined with stunning photographs and elegant maps of the world’s great wine-growing regions make this the perfect no-nonsense guide or lovely gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy the fruit of the vine. “A more accessible and less daunting introduction . . . The lavish color photographs by San Francisco photographer Deborah Jones are probably more beautiful than useful, but the writing is reassuringly free of jargon and will probably encourage the timid to approach some wines, such as Italian and Rhȏne varietals, that they may have been unsure about.” —San Jose Mercury News “The only difficulty with the book may be where to keep it—it’s informative enough to use in the kitchen, entertaining enough to keep by your bedside, and attractive enough to display on your coffee table.” —Appelation
