Smart Chicken and Fish Cookbook or Book of Sent Sov

Smart Chicken and Fish Cookbook: Over 200 Delicious and Nutritious Recipes for Main Courses, Soups, and Salads (The Newmarket Jane Kinderlehrer Smart Food Series)

Author: Jane Kinderlehrer

Now collected in one value-priced paperback—over 200 of Jane's inventive, delectable chicken and fish recipes for main courses, soups, and salads, all high-fiber, low-fat, low- or no-sugar, low sodium, and low cholesterol.

For the first time, here are Jane Kinderlehrer's collected recipes and tips involving fowl and fish preparations, a companion to her Smart Baking Cookbook, with her recipes on muffins, cookies, biscuits, and breads.

Regarding fish, Jane writes: "Fish is a valentine for your heart and your figure...it can pleasure your palate, your waistline and your well-being." Her 101 fish recipes, involving 26 varieties of fin-fish, cover all ways of preparation—baking, broiling, poaching, grilling, smoking, and sautéing—including appetizers, salads, chowders, gumbos, and main courses. Also covered are the facts you need about fish safety, selection, menu planning, and caloric and nutritional analysis.

Regarding fowl, Jane writes: "Though chicken is always a smart choice, not all chicken dinners are smart...a chicken dinner is smart when it is low in fat, sodium, and calories and served with high fiber accompaniments." Her 101 poultry dishes, plus stuffings & accompaniments, can be roasted, sautéed, poached, grilled, baked, and stir fried. Recommended by Julia Child, the tasty poultry offerings include dozens of chicken, capon, turkey breast, pot pie, and stew selections, plus a glossary on terminology and helpful hints on stuffing, carving, storing, and freezing.

For nineteen years she worked with Rodale Press as senior editor and then food editor of Prevention magazine.

Book of Sent SovŠ½: Medieval Recipes from Catalonia, Vol. 51

Author: Joan Santanach

The Book of Sent Soví, composed around the middle of the fourteenth century, is the oldest surviving culinary text in Catalan. It is anonymous and, like the majority of medieval cookery books, is the product of a complex process of transmission, with multiple manuscript copies and readers who have left their mark on it. The contents are eminently practical. Successive cooks have recorded their own methods of preparing the dishes and recipes included, blending several culinary traditions in a single work. Sent Soví is also a reliable source of information on the cookery of the territories of the Crown of Aragon before the revolution caused by the arrival of products from the Americas. This edition includes both an English translation, by Robin Vogelzang, and the original Catalan version. It has been the editor's aim to clarify the difficult passages in the book—sometimes corrupted because of the complex manuscript tradition—so that it can be understood as easily as possible by its twenty-first-century readers. Joan Santanach lectures on medieval literature at the University of Barcelona. Published in association with Editorial Barcino.
