 | My Bread: The Revolutionary No-Work, No-Knead Method
Brand: W. W. Norton & Company
<strong>Laheyâs âbreathtaking, miraculous, no-work, no-knead breadâ (<em>Vogue</em>) has revolutionized the food world.</strong> When he wrote about Jim Laheyâs bread in the <em>New York Times</em>, Mark Bittmanâs excitement was palpable: âThe loaf is incredible, a fine-bakery quality, European-style boule that is produced more easily than by any other technique Iâve used, and it will blow your mind.â Here, thanks to Jim Lahey, New Yorkâs premier baker, is a way to make bread at home that doesnât rely on a fancy bread machine or complicated kneading techniques. Witnessing the excitement that Bittmanâs initial piece unleashed worldwide among bakers experienced and beginner alike, Jim grew convinced that home cooks were eager for a no-fuss way to make bread, and so now, in this eagerly anticipated collection of recipes, Jim shares his one-of-a-kind method for baking rustic, deep-flavored bread in your own oven.<br /> <br /> The secret to Jim Laheyâs bread is slow-rise fermentation. As Jim shows in <em>My Bread</em>, with step-by-step instructions followed by step-by-step pictures, the amount of labor you put in amounts to 5 minutes: mix water, flour, yeast, and salt, and then let time work its magicâno kneading necessary. Wait 12 to 18 hours for the bread to rise, developing structure and flavor; then, after another short rise, briefly bake the bread in a covered cast-iron pot.<br /> <br /> The process couldnât be more simple, or the results more inspiring. My Bread devotes chapters to Jimâs variations on the basic loaf, including an olive loaf, pecorino cheese bread, pancetta rolls, the classic Italian baguette (<em>stirato</em>), and the stunning bread stick studded with tomatoes, olives, or garlic (<em>stecca</em>). He gets even more creative with loaves like Peanut Butter and Jelly Bread, others that use juice instead of water, and his Irish Brown Bread, which calls for Guinness stout. For any leftover loaves, Jim includes what to do with old bread (try bread soup or a chocolate torte) and how to make truly special sandwiches. <br /> <br /> And no book by Jim Lahey would be complete without his Sullivan Street Bakery signature, pizza Biancaâlight, crispy flatbread with olive oil and rosemary that Jim has made even better than that of Italyâs finest bakeries. Other pizza recipes, like a <em>pomodoro</em> (tomato), only require you to spread the risen dough across a baking sheet and add toppings before baking. <br /> <br /> HereâfinallyâJim Lahey gives us a cookbook that enables us to fit quality bread into our lives at home. color photos throughout | *$16.29 |

At the heart of the book is the A-to-Z vegetable chapter, which describes the unique personalities of readily available vegetables, the sauces and seasonings that best complement them, and the simplest ways to prepare them. âBecoming a Cookâ teaches cooking basics, from holding a knife to planning a menu, and âFoundations of Flavorâ discusses how to use sauces, herbs, spices, oils, and vinegars to add flavor and character to meatless dishes. In each chapter, the recipes range from those suitable for everyday dining to dishes for special occasions. And through it all, Madison presents a philosophy of cooking that is both practical and inspiring.<br><br>Despite its focus on meatless cooking, <i>Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone</i> is not just for vegetariansâit's for everyone interested in learning how to cook vegetables creatively, healthfully, and passionately. The recipes are remarkably straightforward, using easy-to-find ingredients in inspiring combinations. Some are simple, others more complex, but all are written with an eye toward the seasonality of produce. Madison's joyful and free-spirited approach to cooking will send you into the kitchen with confidence and enthusiasm.

 | A History of the World in 6 Glasses
Brand: Walker Publishing Company
<DIV><DIV>From beer to Coca-Cola, the six drinks that have helped shape human history<BR>Throughout human history, certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period. <BR><BR><I>A History of the World in 6 Glasses</I> tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization.<BR><BR>For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations.

First made by nature in prehistory was beer. Finding it good, and more salubrious than plain water, mankind turned brewer. (And so the stage was set for cartoons set in barrooms eons later). From cuneiform beer ledgers, Standage's story hops to Dionysus and the oenophiles of Greece and Rome, who knew as much about the pleasures of the grape as any modern wine snob. Here, we learn the vintage that Caligula preferred. In Córdoba, distilled spirits formed rum. Allotments of rum, in turn, enhanced the fighting effectiveness of British tars against foreign sailors debilitated by scurvy. The attempt to pay for the recent revolution by imposing federal taxes on independent stills produced the short-lived Whiskey Rebellion in the new United States. Islam eschewed booze, but a sober gift from the Arab world was coffee. In 17th-century Europe, coffeehouses were not only as ubiquitous as Starbucks, they were 'information exchanges' where people traded news as 'vibrant and unreliable' as that found on a contemporary Internet blog. Tea, which tradition holds was first brewed some 4,500 years ago (our author dates it closer to the first century), became largely controlled, along with opium, by the East India Company. From British tea-time dominance, beverage history goes to that fizzy badge of American hegemony, Coca-Cola. We learn why drugstores once featured soda fountains and how Coke fought Pepsi in WWII. Don't drink the water: throughout history, beer, wine, whiskey, coffee, tea and soda pop were all more potable. Ironically, now that it's bottled and pricey, water seems to making a comeback. Standage offers a distilled account of civilization founded on the drinking habits of mankind from the days of hunter-gatherers to yesterday's designer thirst-quencher. History, along with a bit of technology, etymology, chemistry and bibulous entertainment. Bottoms up!"Â<I><B>Kirkus Reviews</B></I></DIV></DIV><DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"Historian Standage explores the significant role that six beverages have played in the world's history. Few realize the prominence of beer in ancient Egypt, but it was crucial to both cultural and religious life throughout the Fertile Crescent, appearing even in the Gilgamesh epic. Wine's history has been recounted in many places, and its use to avoid oftenÂpolluted water supplies made it ubiquitous wherever grapes could be easily cultivated. Spirits, first manufactured by Arabs and later rejected by them with the rise of Islam, played a fundamental role in the ascendance of the British navy. As a stimulant, coffee found no hostility within Islam's tenets, and its use spread as the faith moved out of Arabia into Asia and Europe. Tea enjoyed similar status, and it bound China and India to the West. Cola drinks, a modern American phenomenon, relied on American mass-marketing skills to achieve dominance. An appendix gives some modern sources for some of the primitive beers and wines described in the text.âÂ<I><B>Booklist</B></I></DIV><D IV> </DIV><DIV>"Standage starts with a bold hypothesisÂthat each epoch, from the Stone Age to the present, has had its signature beverageÂand takes readers on an extraordinary trip through world history. <I>The</I> <I>Economist</I>'s technology editor has the ability to connect the smallest detail to the big picture and a knack for summarizing vast concepts in a few sentences. He explains how, when humans shifted from hunting and gathering to farming, they saved surplus grain, which sometimes fermented into beer. The Greeks took grapes and made wine, later borrowed by the Romans and the Christians. Arabic scientists experimented with distillation and produced spirits, the ideal drink for long voyages of exploration. Coffee also spread quickly from Arabia to Europe, becoming the 'intellectual counterpoint to the geographical expansion of the Age of Exploration.' European coffee-houses, which functioned as 'the Internet of the Age of Reason,' facilitated scientific, financial and industrial cross-fertilization. In the British industrial revolution that followed, tea 'was the lubricant that kept the factories running smoothly.' Finally, the rise of American capitalism is mirrored in the history of Coca-Cola, which started as a more or less handmade medicinal drink but morphed into a mass-produced global commodity over the course of the 20th century. In and around these grand ideas, Standage tucks some wonderful tidbitsÂon the antibacterial qualities of tea, Mecca's coffee trials in 1511, Visigoth penalties for destroying vineyardsÂending with a delightful appendix suggesting ways readers can sample ancient beverages."Â<B><I>Publishers Weekly</I> (starred review)</B></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV ></DIV></DIV> | *$8.99 |

 | The French Laundry Cookbook
Brand: Artisan
Thomas Keller, chef/proprieter of the French Laundry in the Napa Valleyâ"the most exciting place to eat in the United States," wrote Ruth Reichl in <em>The New York Times</em>âis a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses.<br> <br> Most dazzling is how simple Keller's methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it sautées beautifully; poaching eggs in a deep pot of water for perfect shape; the initial steeping in the shell that makes cooking raw lobster out of the shell a cinch; using vinegar as a flavor enhancer; the repeated washing of bones for stock for the cleanest, clearest tastes. <br> <br> From innovative soup techniques, to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monté to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, <em>The French Laundry Cookbook</em> captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and extraordinary photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique. <br> <br> One hundred and fifty superlative recipes are exact recipes from the French Laundry kitchenâno shortcuts have been taken, no critical steps ignored, all have been thoroughly tested in home kitchens. If you can't get to the French Laundry, you can now re-create at home the very experience the Wine Spectator described as "as close to dining perfection as it gets." | *$26.50 |
