Greatest Dishes!: Around the World in 80 Recipes

Author: Anya Von Bremzen

Anya von Bremzen has traveled far and wide in search of the world's greatest flavors. Along the way she has gathered a definitive collection of classic recipes and a lifetime's worth of stories. Here the award-winning, globe-trotting food writer presents eighty of the world's best-loved dishes, from more than twenty-eight countries, an all-hits international food tour for cooks and readers everywhere.

No matter how far she travels or how many cookbooks she acquires, Anya observes that, like most cooks, she returns to the same recipes time and time again: pad thai, bouillabaisse, apple pie, couscous, gazpacho, risotto -- the classics that we all know and love. In this book she sets out to find the best, most authentic recipes for these iconic dishes by collecting and perfecting dozens of recipes from the stoves of cooks the world over. Over time, Anya tested, revised, and honed these eighty classic recipes, allowing home cooks to recreate, at last, their favorite foods -- with delicious results.

With these clear, accessible recipes at your fingertips, you don't have to go to Spain to get the best paella or to Italy for the best pizza or pesto -- you don't even have to go to a lot of country-specific cookbooks. Accompanying the recipes are delightful, illuminating essays detailing the dishes' origins and how they are prepared and enjoyed today. Packed with historical information and portraits of the contemporary food culture of dozens of countries, the essays bring these eighty classics to life and are indispensable reading on their own. Whether you are a seasoned home cook, a world traveler, or an armchair adventurer,The Greatest Dishes! will provide youwith unprecedented firsthand information about these emblematic foods, along with the legends, controversies, and passions they have inspired throughout history.

Publishers Weekly

One of the more personally idiosyncratic cookbooks to come along in some time, the latest from von Bremzen (Please to the Table: The Russian Cookbook) reflects her country hopping as a Travel & Leisure editor. As she journeys, she collects esteemed recipes and here arranges favorites from Apple Pie to Wiener Schnitzel, with stops for Hamburger and Peking Duck in between. She provides historical tidbits, notes on recipe influences and cooking tips. Her tastes stretch well beyond geographical boundaries. When it comes to meatballs, she turns not to Italy but to Shanghai for Lion's Head Meatballs. For cheesecake, she combines the richness of Paskha from her Russian childhood with New York's traditional cream cheese in Chocolate-Glazed Lemon Cheesecake. A BBQ fan, she includes both Memphis Barbecued Ribs and their Asian cousins, Korean Barbecued Short Ribs. Restaurant-inspired dishes feature Potato Gnocchi with Cauliflower Gorgonzola Sauce, derived from a dish at an obscure Tuscan trattoria; Classic Andalusian Gazpacho from a traditional eatery in Ronda, Spain; Lobster Rolls from Fore Street in Portland, Maine; and a simplified Rose Pistola Chocolate Budino Cake from San Francisco. Readers may disagree with her choice of what constitutes the world's top 80 dishes ( such as Chinese Stir-Fried Greens), but cooks will also discover new dishes and new approaches to old standbys.

Library Journal

Previously, Travel & Leisure columnist von Bremzen has written about Russian (Please to the Table), Southeast Asian (Terrific Pacific), and Latin American (Fiesta!) fare. Now she presents all her favorite recipes from her travels in one eclectic volume, a self-described "Gold List of the world's greatest hits." There are certainly classics like Feijoada (the Brazilian national dish), Creme Br lee, and Roast Chicken, but readers will also find idiosyncratic choices such as Laksa, "a rococo Malaysian-Singaporean slurpfest of noodles and seafood," and simple Chinese Stir-Fried Greens. Any compendium like this (see also David Rosengarten's Taste: One Palate's Journey Through the World's Greatest Dishes) is sure to trigger debate; what, for example, makes the Chocolate Budino from San Francisco's North Beach restaurant, Rose Pistola, the classic chocolate cake? Nevertheless, the title alone ensures interest. For most collections. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Easy as Apple Pie or Odiyan Country Cookbook

Easy as Apple Pie

Author: Caroline Barty

In addition to Mom's apple pie, here are recipes for chocolate and pecan pie, cranberry pie, strawberry and rhubarb lattice tart, and many more, 45 recipes in all. This book's duotone photos provide a nostalgic look at mid-twentieth-century America, and the recipes are for pies that are simply old-fashioned delicious. The photos focus appropriately enough around the kitchen range and dining room table--and if Mom and Dad seem a bit too formally dressed for dinner at home, we should recall that it was the way middle American households were depicted in ads and magazine features, circa 1950. The recipes for pies are easy for today's home cooks to follow, and are guaranteed to produce mouth-watering results. Many are complemented with food-related anecdotes. Here's a trip down memory lane, as well as inspiration for tasty desserts you can serve today.

Creative Pickling or Pies

Creative Pickling: From Classic Dills to Ginger Pears, 50 Sweet, Savory and Tangy Recipes

Author: Barbara J Ciletti

Pickling isn't just dill pickles and sauerkraut (although both appear in this book). Pickling is also Spiced Whole Onions, Tomato Peach Salsa, Almond Stuffed Jalape¤os, and more. In fact, pickling can stock a pantry with jars of tangy, sweet, or savory condiments that can make a 20-minute meal taste like a carefully crafted dinner. Pickling is preserving food in a vinegar or salt solution, which makes the product high-acid and reduces the processing required for long-term storage. No pressure canner is required; rather, the processed recipes in this book require only a hot-water bath averaging 15 to 20 minutes. Some are simply refrigerated or frozen. This is pickling for today's cooks. The recipes don't call for bushels of produce, dozens of jars, or a quarter-acre garden. A good grocery store or farmer's market will do. Nor do they presume a family of 12. Instead, all recipes are made in small batches for today's smaller households. The book does assume a love of creative cooking and a wide-ranging interest in varied cuisines. In addition to the pickle recipes, there are also 12 recipes for dishes using the pickled products: Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons, Grilled Tuna in Maui Marinade, Rosemary Olive Bread, and more.
