 | Mexico One Plate At A Time
Brand: Scribner
<P> Rick Bayless has been acclaimed widely as America's foremost proponent of Mexico's thrillingly diverse cuisine. In this companion book to his 26-part Public Television series, he takes us, with boyish enthusiasm, through Mexican markets, street stalls and home kitchens to bring us the great dishes of Mexico, one "plate" at a time. And each "plate" Rick presents here is a Mexican classic. Take guacamole, for instance. After teaching us the essentials for a perfect, classic guacamole, Rick shows how to spin contemporary interpretations, like his Roasted Poblano Guacamole with garlic and parsley. Rick's cuisine is always lively, but rooted in strong traditions. <P> Always the teacher, Rick begins each "plate" with some never-before-found features: traditional benchmarks (Rick's idea of the best guacamole), when to think of the recipes (weeknight dinners or casual party food), and advice for American cooks (Rick's insight into the ingredients that make the dish). He rounds out each "plate" with suggestions for working ahead. <P> To complete the journey into the Mexican mindset, Rick, with help from his testers, ends each "plate" with a question-and-answer section detailing just about everything a home cook might want to know: What are the best cuts of beef for grilled tacos? The best cheeses for quesadillas? Is one grill better than another? Rick draws from his years of living in Mexico, pulling us into the Mexican kitchen, to teach us how to create authentic Mexican dishes in our American kitchens. <P> Rick is an Indiana Jones of the stove, a Julia Child of Mexican cuisine in black jeans and a T-shirt. Rick's goal: to enable folks all across the United States to create dishes that weave in the rich tapestry of Mexican flavor with ingredients that are widely available. He always provides ingredients that make the dish authentic, but he also delivers with the right substitute if an ingredient is hard to find. <P> Experience food you can't wait to make in a new and user-friendly cookbook that contains the full range of dishes -- Starters, Snacks and Light Meals; Soups, Stews and Sides; Entrées; Desserts and Drinks. Rick serves up such classic Mexican plates as Tomatillo-Braised Pork Loin, Quick-Fried Shrimp with Sweet Toasty Garlic, <I>Chiles Rellenos,</I> Cheesy <I>Enchiladas Suizas,</I> and Mexican Vanilla-Scented Flan. <P> And for an exciting taste of the unexpected, try Rick's contemporary interpretations of the classics -- Crispy Potato <I>Sopes</I> with Goat Cheese and Fresh Herbs, Grilled Salmon with Lemon-and-Thyme-Scented Salsa <I>Veracruzana,</I> Broiled Flank Steak with Tomato-Poblano Salsa and Rustic <I>Cajeta</I> Apple Tarts with Berry "Salsa." <P> Food and friends, food and family. Good cooking, for Rick, is the unspoken animator of friends and family as they gather to share a meal. Rick's recipes lend themselves to weeknight family meals or celebrations. Take part in a <I>tamalada,</I> the <I>tamal</I>-making party before the party, or the ritual of a <I>barbacoa,</I> an earthy experience that Rick has made possible with a kettle grill in the backyard. <P> <I>24 color photographs of finished dishes Photographs of Mexican location shots throughout</I> | *$17.50 |

 | The New Book of Middle Eastern Food
Brand: Knopf
In this updated and greatly enlarged edition of her <B>Book of Middle Eastern Food</B>, Claudia Roden re-creates a classic. The book was originally published here in 1972 and was hailed by James Beard as "a landmark in the field of cookery"; this new version represents the accumulation of the author's thirty years of further extensive travel throughout the ever-changing landscape of the Middle East, gathering recipes and stories.<br><br>Now Ms. Roden gives us more than 800 recipes, including the aromatic variations that accent a dish and define the country of origin: fried garlic and cumin and coriander from Egypt, cinnamon and allspice from Turkey, sumac and tamarind from Syria and Lebanon, pomegranate syrup from Iran, preserved lemon and harissa from North Africa. She has worked out simpler approaches to traditional dishes, using healthier ingredients and time-saving methods without ever sacrificing any of the extraordinary flavor, freshness, and texture that distinguish the cooking of this part of the world.<br><br>Throughout these pages she draws on all four of the region's major cooking styles:<br>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â -Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The refined haute cuisine of Iran, based on rice exquisitely prepared and embellished with a range of meats, vegetables, fruits, and nuts<br>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â -Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Arab cooking from Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan--at its finest today, and a good source for vegetable and bulgur wheat dishes<br>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â -Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The legendary Turkish cuisine, with its kebabs, wheat and rice dishes, yogurt salads, savory pies, and syrupy pastries<br>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â -Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â North African cooking, particularly the splendid fare of Morocco, with its heady mix of hot and sweet, orchestrated to perfection in its couscous dishes and tagines<br><br>From the tantalizing mezze--those succulent bites of filled fillo crescents and cigars, chopped salads, and stuffed morsels, as well as tahina, chickpeas, and eggplant in their many guises--to the skewered meats and savory stews and hearty grain and vegetable dishes, here is a rich array of the cooking that Americans embrace today. No longer considered exotic--all the essential ingredients are now available in supermarkets, and the more rare can be obtained through mail order sources (readily available on the Internet)--the foods of the Middle East are a boon to the home cook looking for healthy, inexpensive, flavorful, and wonderfully satisfying dishes, both for everyday eating and for special occasions. | *$21.62 |

 | 52 Loaves: One Man's Relentless Pursuit of Truth, Meaning, and a Perfect Crust
Brand: Algonquin Books
William Alexander is determined to bake the perfect loaf of bread. He tasted it long ago, in a restaurant, and has been trying to reproduce it ever since. Without success. But now heâs going to try againâevery week for one yearâuntil he gets it right. He will bake his peasant loaf from scratch. And because Alexander is nothing if not thorough, he really means <i>from scratch</i>: growing, harvesting, winnowing, threshing, and milling his own wheat. <br><br>Alexanderâs often hilarious quest takes our (anti)hero through dangerous back alleys of Morocco, where he bakes his loaf in an ancient communal oven; to Paris, where he enrolls in the <i>cours de boulangerie</i> at the famed Ãcole Ritz Escoffier; to a monastery in Normandy, where (his lack of French and faith notwithstanding) he becomes bread baker to the monks; and finally to his own backyard, where he builds a lopsided brick oven and learns that perfection is just a state of mind. Alexander also takes us along on entertaining visits to yeast factories and flour mills, seeks advice from master bread bakers, captures wild yeast to make his own <i>levain</i>, and enters the baking contest at the New York State Fair. <br><br>An original take on the six-thousand-year-old staple of life, <i>52 Loaves</i> explores the nature of obsession, the meditative quality of ritual, the futility of trying to re-create something perfect, our deep connection to the earth, and the mysterious instinct that makes every single person on the planet, regardless of culture or society, respond to the aroma of baking bread. <br><br><br> | *$14.70 |

<DIV><DIV>One of the nationâs top clinical nutritionists presents her 14-day program for treating and reversing gluten sensitivity, a condition that affects as much as 35 to 50 percent of the U.S. population and is a major contributing factor to an array of chronic illnesses<BR><BR>Struggling with weight gain? Plagued by fatigue? Suffering from joint pain? According to preeminent clinical nutritionist Dr. Shari Lieberman, these symptoms are among the hallmarks of a little-known but surprisingly common sensitivity to gluten, a protein in certain grains. Dr. Lieberman has been investigating gluten sensitivity for more than 20 years. In her experience, eliminating gluten can alleviate many troubling symptoms for which doctors often canât find a cause, as well as chronic conditions for which mainstream medicine offers little hope of reliefâincluding rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, lupus, and irritable bowel syndrome. <BR><BR>In fact, 85 percent of Dr. Liebermanâs clients who follow a gluten-free diet report dramatic improvement in their healthâand scientific studies support her results.<BR><BR>In The Gluten Connection, Dr. Lieberman presents a simple questionnaire to help readers assess their risk for gluten sensitivity and provides a 14-day eating plan to start them on the path to improved health and vitality.

T hen she got pregnant. Never one to accept conventional wisdom blindly, Nina found the usual advice about pregnancy and baby food riddled with myths and misunderstandings. In <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby</I>, Nina explains why many modern ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded and why traditional foods are best. While Nina can be controversialÂher op-ed in the <I>New York Times </I>on vegan diets for infants was one of the paperâs most e-mailed articles sheâs no contrarian. Readers applaud her candor; they also trust her research and welcome her advice. <P></P>Ninaâs basic premise hasnât changedÂwhole foods are bestÂbut some of the details are surprising. Pregnant women need meat and salt, not iron supplements. Nursing will be easier if you act like the mammal you are. Delaying the introduction of certain solid foods doesnât prevent allergies. Cereals are not the best foods for tiny eaters; meat and egg yolks are better. From conception to two years, the bodyâs overwhelming needs are for quality fat and protein, not for carrots and low-fat dairy. Even as she casts a skeptical eye on the conventional wisdom, Nina is reassuring. She shows you how to keep your baby healthy on good, simple food. <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby </I>will be the new classic on eating for two.</DIV></DIV><DIV><DIV><P>ÂNina Planckâs powerful concept, Âreal food,â has changed how we think about what we eat. Now Nina turns to the nutritional needs of the developing human being. Today, one can say that Âwomb ecologyâ is the most vital aspect of human ecology. In terms of public health, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of pregnant women. Thatâs why no task is more important than to study the factorsÂparticularly nutritional factorsÂthat influence a babyâs growth and development.âÂ<B>Dr. Michel Odent, author of <I>The Farmer and the Obstetrician</I> </B></P><P>ÂNina Planckâs personal story of life with baby Julian, from preconception to tending the first tomatoes at their own Small Farm, makes compelling reading.
