  Tales from the Tummy Trilogy

  Calvin Trillin

  Calvin Trillin is America’s funniest food writer. He is passionate about good cooking—not haute cuisine but genuine good food. 
  What Calvin Trillin likes to write about is eating rather than food. Known to his fans as a "happy eater," he is also a highly-respected journalist and a nimble humorist. It is this unique combination of talents that makes The Tummy Trilogy such a wonderfully entertaining collection. Includes American Fried; Alice, Let’s Eat; and Third Helpings. 
  In the 1970’s, when Trillin was writing the "American Journal" feature for the New Yorker, he spent a great deal of time on the road, diligently questing after the best cooking in every city, town, and village he passed through. When approaching local people, his technique was simple, and simply brilliant: "Don’t take me to the place you took your parents on their 25th wedding anniversary; take me to the place you went the night you came home after 14 months in Korea." With this kind of attitude, whether he is writing about taking his own multi-course picnic on a no-frills flight to Miami, describing the perils of post eating, indulging in the pleasures of pigging-out in Hong Kong, or giving us the definitive history of the origin of the Buffalo chicken wing, the results are marvelously funny and will be a very special treat for people who love eating and relish good prose.

  Judgment of Paris - California...

  The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History houses, amid its illustrious artifacts, two bottles of wine: a 1973 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon and a 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay. These are the wines that won at the now-famous Paris Tasting in 1976, where a panel of top French wine experts compared some of France's most famous wines with a new generation of California wines. Little did they know the wine industry would be completely transformed as a result, sparking a golden age for viticulture that extends beyond France's hallowed borders to Australia, Chile, South Africa, New Zealand, and across the globe.Then Paris correspondent for Time magazine, George M. Taber recounts this seminal contest and its far-reaching effects, focusing on the three gifted unknowns behind the winning wines: a college lecturer, a real estate lawyer, and a Yugoslavian immigrant. At a time when California was best known for cheap jug wine, these pioneers used radical new techniques alongside time-honored winemaking traditions to craft premium American wines that could stand up to France's finest.With unique access to the main players and a contagious passion for his subject, Taber renders this historic event and its tremendous aftershocks in captivating prose, bringing to life an eclectic cast and magnificent settings. For lovers of wine and anyone who enjoys a story of the entrepreneurial spirit of the new world conquering the old, this is an illuminating and deeply satisfying tale.

  A celebration of Yuletide food through the centuries.   This mouthwatering book celebrates classic Christmas stories and their food and feasts. Each chapter covers a different era and the important foodie tales of time, including Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Jane Austen’s festive celebrations, and Christmas with Dickens. Claire Hopley rediscovers the joys of literary Christmases and the meals enjoyed by classic characters, including Harry Potter’s Christmas at Hogwarts with its impressive display of food, his first-ever feast after years of being neglected, and the Grinch’s failed attempt to ruin Christmas by stealing the Who-pudding in Dr. Suess’s children’s tale How the Grinch Stole Christmas.   With 40 must-try Christmas recipes, including a pork pie inspired by the one Pip gave to Magwitch in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations, a Christmas Pudding recipe like those described in Anthony Trollope’s Orley Farm, as well as a turkey curry based on Helen Fielding’s Bridget Jones’s Diary, this book is the perfect gift for people who love Christmas, its traditions, and its foods, as well as a must-buy book for foodie booklovers who want to know more about Christmas feasts in their favorite tales.
