Rigby offers a comprehensive exploration of confectionery and frozen dessert-making, reflecting a meticulous blend of empirical insight and accessible instruction. The book is structured as a practical guide, featuring various recipes that marry traditional techniques with innovative flavor combinations.

Set in the early 20th century—a period marked by the American embrace of sweets and ice cream—this work serves as both a record of culinary practices and a celebration of the cultural significance of these treats in everyday life. W. O. Rigby was likely influenced by the burgeoning interest in food science and industrial production techniques of his time, as well as by the growing popularity of soda fountains and candy shops across the United States.

Rigby's experience in the culinary field is evident in the precision and clarity with which he presents his formulas. This book is essential for anyone with a sweet tooth or an interest in the culinary arts. It not only serves as an invaluable resource for aspiring candy-makers and ice cream artisans but also invites readers to appreciate the artistry and science behind creating popular confections. Rigby's work is a treasure trove of delightful recipes that can inspire creativity and passion in the kitchen.

    Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book is a product of these combined gluttonies. 
     
     
     
    Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner's Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. 
     
     
     
    Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.

    99 Bottles is a highly opinionated, vibrantly illustrated wine guide from one of the country’s most celebrated—and unorthodox—sommeliers and winemakers. 
     
    In this entertaining, informative, and thoroughly unconventional wine guide, award-winning sommelier, winemaker, and wine educator André Hueston Mack presents readers with the 99 bottles that have most impacted his life. Instead of just pairing wines with foods, Mack pairs practical information with personal stories, offering up recommendations alongside reflections on being one of the only African Americans to ever work at the top level of the American wine industry. 
     
    The 99 bottles range from highly accessible commercial wines to the most rarefied Bordeaux on the wine list at The French Laundry, and each bottle offers readers something to learn about wine. This window into Mack’s life combines a maverick’s perspective on the wine industry with an insider’s advice on navigating wine lists, purchasing wine, and drinking more diverse and interesting selections at home. 99 Bottles is a one-of-a-kind exploration of wine culture today from a true trailblazer.
