Cornucopia or Indian

Cornucopia: Being a Kitchen Enterainment and Cookbook

Author: Judith Herman

The Cornucopia, published to wide acclaim in 1973, is an exquisitely annotated collection of five centuries of European and American culture as seen through the eyes of both the chef and the gourmet. Drawing on more than 150 sources, beginning with The Forme of Cury (1390), through to the 1890s and some of the most beautiful examples of culinary Victoriana, this richly good-humored book tumbles out a virtual treasury of food lore, commentary and opinion, custom and attitude, and more than three hundred delectable recipes, given in their original format.
From a 1598 recipe for "four and twenty blackbirds baked into a pie," to an exquisite 1653 Izaak Walton recipe for stuffed pike, to an 1898 formula for a drink improbably named "the Bosom Caresser" (sherry, brandy, sugar, an egg yolk, and a pinch of cayenne pepper), this unique volume is all the food lover could ask for.

Caribbean Rum or Hospitality as Holiness

Caribbean Rum: A Social and Economic History

Author: Frederick H Smith

Christopher Columbus brought sugarcane to the New World on his second voyage. By 1520 commercial sugar production was underway in the Caribbean, along with the perfection of methods to ferment and distill alcohol from sugarcane to produce a new beverage that would have dramatic impact on the region. Caribbean Rum presents the fascinating cultural, economic, and ethnographic history of rum in the Caribbean from the colonial period to the present.

Drawing on data from historical archaeology and the economic history of the Caribbean, Frederick Smith explains why this industry arose in the islands, how attitudes toward alcohol consumption have impacted the people of the region, and how rum production evolved over 400 years from a small colonial activity to a multi-billion-dollar industry controlled by multinational corporations. He investigates the economic impact of Caribbean rum on many scales, including rum's contribution to sugarcane plantation revenues, its role in bolstering colonial and postcolonial economies, and its impact on Atlantic trade. Smith discusses the political and economic trends that determined the value of rum, especially war, competition from other alcohol industries, slavery and emancipation, temperance movements, and globalization.

The book also examines the social and sacred uses of rum and identifies the forces that shaped alcohol use in the Caribbean. It shows how levels of drinking and drunken deportment reflected underlying social tensions, which were driven by the coercive exploitation of labor and set within a highly contentious hierarchy based on class, race, gender, religion, and ethnic identity, and how these tensions were magnified by epidemic disease, poor living conditions, natural disasters, international conflicts, and unstable food supplies.

Foreign Affairs

In his autobiography, Colin Powell recalls that his Jamaican-born parents exclusively served Appleton Estate rum produced on their native island: "To serve anything else was considered an affront." In Caribbean Rum, anthropologist Smith adds knowledgeably to the growing body of commodity-based histories, using rum to elucidate, in this case, the history of the Caribbean. He takes us on a journey beginning with the use of alcohol in indigenous Carib religious rituals, continuing through the impact of the American Revolution on British Caribbean rum makers (very negative), and moving on to more contemporary temperance movements. Depending on the sociohistorical context and the quantities consumed, rum can be enslaving or empowering, a symbol of colonialism or nationalism, commonplace or exotic, killer or elixir, sacred or profane. No single thesis unites Smith's entertaining narratives, although it is abundantly clear that the sugar and rum industries have repeatedly used political leverage and trade preferences — and claims of medicinal virtues — to win market shares from brandy, whisky, and gin.

Hospitality As Holiness: Christian Witness amid Moral Diversity

Author: Luke Bretherton

Hospitality as Holiness seeks to address the underlying question facing the church within contemporary moral debates: how should Christians relate to their neighbours when ethical disputes arise? The problems the book examines centre on what the nature and basis of Christian moral thought and action is, and in the contemporary context, whether moral disputes may be resolved with those who do not share the same framework as Christians. Bretherton establishes a model - that of hospitality - for how Christians and non-Christians can relate to each other amid moral diversity.

Hostess: Hospitality, Femininity, and the Expropriation of Identity

Author: Tracy McNulty

The evolution of the idea of hospitality can be traced alongside the development of Western civilization. Etymologically, the host is the “master,” but this identity is established through expropriation and loss—the best host is the one who gives the most, ultimately relinquishing what defines him as master. In The Hostess, Tracy McNulty asks, What are the implications for personhood of sharing a person—a wife or daughter—as an act of hospitality? In many traditions, the hostess is viewed not as a subject but as the master’s property. A foreign presence that both sustains and undercuts him, the hostess embodies the interplay of self and other within the host’s own identity. Here McNulty combines critical readings of the Bible and Pierre Klossowski’s trilogy The Laws of Hospitality with analyses of exogamous marital exchange, theological works from the Talmud to Aquinas, the writings of Kant and Nietzsche, and the theory of femininity in the work of Freud and Lacan. Ultimately, she contends, hospitality involves the boundary between the proper and the improper, affecting the subject as well as interpersonal relations. Tracy McNulty is assistant professor of romance studies at Cornell University.

American Cookbook: A History

Author: Carol Fisher

When colonists arrived in America, their knowledge of cooking sometimes had little in common with available ingredients. Eventually they adapted recipes from the old country for use with native foods and cooking methods. The resulting infusion nourished an enthusiasm for cookbooks, as cooks from all walks of life recorded and exchanged old and new recipes.

This book serves up the American cookbook as a tasty sampler of history, geography and culture, revealing the influence of political events (e.g. wartime rationing), social movements (temperance), and technological change (new packaging and cooking methods). Skimming antiquity, the author whisks us through history to the first American cookbook, published by Amelia Simmons in 1796. Next she examines the cookbook revolution of the 1800s that was sparked by vigilant interest in household management and fueled by professionals and cooking schools. She heralds the charity and community cookbook, which has roots in the Civil War and thrives today. Regional and ethnic cookbooks merit discussion in their own chapter, which is followed by consideration of themes, product promotion, special collections and unusual formats. Cookbook aficionados will find familiar titles in the final chapter, "Most Influential Cookbooks of the Twentieth Century." Multiple bibliographies list notable American cookbooks, product cookbooks and booklets, alternative format cookbooks, and culinary books (books about food), as well as the author's research sources. A selected list of libraries and archives with significant cookbook and culinary collections is included, and a unique appendix reprints selected pie recipes from American cookbooks published from 1796 through 2000, demonstrating an evolving recipe format.

Library Journal

Former teacher and freelance writer Fisher explores the fascinating story of the nation's cookbooks and the impact they have had on America's kitchens. Beginning with the "Great American Recipe Exchange" between colonists and Native Americans, she examines all aspects of American cookbooks, enlightening readers on how the construction of recipes has evolved. Arranged into 14 chapters, the work encompasses all types of American cookbooks, including charity-community, regional and ethnic, promotional and advertising, chef and restaurant, and alternative format. Fisher also looks at the most influential cookbooks of the 20th century, highlighting such works as The Joy of Cooking and Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook. An extensive bibliography and index, including a list of libraries and archives with significant cookbook collections, round out the book. Anyone interested in the development of cookbooks in America will find this a joy to read. Recommended for all libraries, especially those with culinary collections.-Nicole Mitchell, Birmingham, AL Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Russian Cuisine: Exclusive Prime-Time Recipes

Author: Tatiana Oborina Lawson

Centuries of mysterious Russian history have produced a unique Russian cuisine. Generations of Russians experimented with new spices and ingredients that came from different parts of the world. Russian Cuisine gracefully combines recipes of two different continents--Europe and Asia--to create unique, immense flavors.

Peter the Great; Ivan the Terrible; Kathryn the Great; and Nicolas the Second, the last Russian Czar, were all gourmets. Kathryn the Great used to have fifty-course dinners just for everyday meals. Her holiday menu could have up to five hundred different dishes just for one dinner.

Most of the unique and extraordinary recipes that constitute Russian Cuisine are approximately five hundred to six-hundred-years old. However, all of the recipes are still commonly used in contemporary Russia.

Fish & Seafood

Author: Patrik Jaros

Saltwater fish, crustaceans, all culinary delights of the sea are joined together in this illustrated cookbook. The distinctive component here is the concentration on different ways of preparing the dishes: turbot is sauteed and baked, other fish are steamed, boiled, grilled, poached, fried, baked in a salt crust or are the extra something special in a stew. Preparation of each recipe is shown with detailed directions: from cleaning to removing the scales and filleting the fish to preparing lobster, crab and octopus. Recipes for fish stock and classics like Rouille or white wine sauce round off this diverse cookbook.

Publishers Weekly

"From caviar to grouper, mussels, salmon and shrimp; from filleting to poaching." These words on the title page are most of the explanation readers will get in this beautiful cookbook. But judging from the brief and garbled introduction, they should be grateful ("Large fish, small fish, crab, mussels, shellfish, algae, sea urchins, prawns-each desiring to be prepared freshly and flavoursome"). Primarily, it's the colorful full-bleed photographs and spreads that tell this cookbook's story, while the recipes are succinct and to the point. In fact, the photos sometimes offer more explanation than the recipes, as in Cod on a Bed of Beetroot with Warm Beans and Marinated Herbs (the photograph shows would-be cooks that they should use long, green beans, not round, brown ones). The beautiful images also offer blow-by-blow details for tasks like "Preparing a sea bream" (eight sequential photos accompany the directions). The recipes are organized by degree of difficulty in the table of contents (one star being the easiest, three the most complex) and are clearly marked throughout the book with stars and large numbers that give prep time. Measurements from around the world (in liters, fluid ounces or cups) make this an international book, which also means the fish and seafood included may not all be familiar to American readers (e.g., whelks, brill, Dublin Bay prawns, Saint Peterfish). The preparations are international too, drawing on the cuisines of Britain, France, Italy, Japan and elsewhere. (Sept.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Author: Dewey Markham

The First Complete Guide to the 1855 Bordeaux Classification—A Fascinating Account for Wine Lovers and an Authoritative Reference for Wine Industry Professionals The 1855 Bordeaux Classification has been a fixture of the wine world for almost 150 years, yet the origin of the system and the thinking behind it have never been thoroughly researched and presented in detail—until now. How was the 1855 classification drafted? Who was responsible? What was the rationale for the cru classé rating, and what criteria were used to determine inclusion and ranking? 1855: A History of the Bordeaux Classification answers these central questions and more. Drawing on primary source material gleaned through professional organizations, municipal archives, and author visits to each Médoc, Graves, and Sauternes property listed in the 1855 classification, this immaculately researched book demystifies every key aspect of the subject. Appendices give readers direct access to documents from the archives of the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce, selected Bordeaux wine price quotations, and other valuable information. With thoughtful conclusions on the continued viability of the 1855 classification today, this book is essential reading for informed wine industry professionals and wine lovers alike.

Winetasters Secrets or The Food That Went with the Whine

Winetaster's Secrets

Author: Andrew Sharp

Taste is a funny thing. Not ha-ha funny, but peculiar funny. Even the definition of the word is a little confusing. It is both a verb and a noun. It means to eat or to drink; to have or to get experience ; a manner or style. This, then, is the first barrier to enjoying wine.

All too often the wine lover is fed information from a taster rather than from his own palate because the tools necessary, the how-tos of tasting itself, arent` readily available. Sure, we all know what we like and dislike, but the world of wine, once it is opened up, is a wonderous and varied one. What is needed to capture the full breadth of wine is a knowledge of how to read your own senses and an understanding of what factors determine your preferences. Winetaster's Secrets focuses on this very facet of wine.

Step-by-step this book reveals how it's done; how the experts, and now you, can determine and evaluate wine quality. It does son in a manner that neither simplifies or complicates the subject. The object is threefold: - to encourage the reader to expand the use of his/her natural senses, increasing the enjoyment of all wines

- to help develop the ability to judge consistently and accurately the quality of a wide array of wines, independent of the tastes of others

- to foster appreciation of the differences in qualitative and nonqualitative wine characteristics.

In addition, Winetaster's Secrets addresses the issues that have often been avoided in previous publications, including:

- age in the taster and the wine

- burnt wine - brandy

- how to taste it and judge it

- a chilling experience

- ice wine

- tasting techniques

- scoring systems, how they work and which systems work better than others.

The result is a precise, enjoyable book.

Fine English Cookery or Chafing Dish Possibilities

Fine English Cookery

Author: Michael Smith

These recipes are taken from cookery books collected over many years and spanning several centuries.

English food has long been overshadowed by the cuisines of Continental Europe but now, with a new generation of chefs adding novel twists to traditional recipes, it is enjoying a renewed vitality and rerum to popularity. Michael Smith's highly acclaimed book is centered on recipes from the eighteenth century, before the Industrial Revolution wrought such dreadful damage to English cooking and the influx of French chefs after 1789 did so much to change culinary fashions.

Traditionally, English cooking is generous in its use of herbs and spices and adventurous in its combining of flavors. This collection contains such delights as mustard soup, baked sea bass with fennel, mushroom soup with madeira, salmon in red wine, butter'd oranges and a full range of potted meats and fishes. Based on the wide variety of ingredients found in a temperate climate, traditional English cookery was on occasion rich and heavy, but more often than not nutritious and healthy, as recipes for fried cucumber with dill, parsley soup, pippin pie and gooseberry and rosemary ice-cream all testify.
