The Art of Cooking: The First Modern Cookery Book (California Studies in Food and Culture) Review

`The Art of Cooking' was written by the fifteenth century Italian Renaissance chef identified as `The Eminent Maestro Martino of Como'. This is a truly impressive and fascinating piece of culinary scholarship published in the `California Studies in Food and Culture' by the University of California Press. For serious foodies, this book documents several trends which dozens of food writers often repeat with no historical support. The book contains four major sections by three different scholars.

The text from Maestro Martino himself is translated by Jeremy Parzen, a food historian and musician (I will wager that his musical speciality is the Renaissance). Fifty modern versions of Maestro Martino's recipes are interpreted by Stefania Barzini, a Roman food historian and journalist for Italy's National Food Channel (Shades of Molto Mario). The Introduction, endnotes, and textual editing are done by Luigi Ballerini, a poet, translator, scholar, and instructor of medieval and modern Italian at the University of California.

By far the most engaging part of this volume is the introduction that chronicles Maestro Martino's career and his times in Renaissance Italy. Allowing for the rather dryly scholarly presentation, this often reads like a pitch for a cinematic costume drama starring Tyrone Power or Errol Flynn, with the evil cardinal played by Orson Wells or Sydney Greenstreet. All this steps right out of the pages of Machiavelli's `The Prince'. So much so that Machiavelli even shows up as a character in the story of Martino's career. As a journeyman scholar, I can attest to the fact that the story is thoroughly documented so that anyone wishing to pick up where these authors left off will find plenty of material to establish a starting point.

From a culinary point of view, the most interesting facts spelled out by the introduction show that modern trends in decorative plating are a faint shadow of the kinds of extravagances created by chefs to the princes of the Italian city states and the cardinals, the princes of the church, who were often as wealthy as their secular brethren. The most important contribution of Maestro Martino appears to be the introduction of vegetables from the peasants' cuisine into the meat laden dining of the nobility. This confirms all the talk from experts of contemporary Italian cuisine that this is based heavily on the food of poverty, but it does not refute the very important observation by Paula Wolfert that one of the requirements for the rise of a great cuisine is a nobility and the corps of chefs enlisted to serve them. A secondary contribution of Maestro Martino is the extent to which he standardized culinary terminology in Italy. This was an era in which no dialect on the Italian peninsula was dominant. It was hardly a few hundred years after the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and Boccaccio's Decameron and the invention of moveable type. And, the unification of Italy was still almost 400 years off. The editor's citing this as an accomplishment reaffirms my concerns when I find culinary writers using the wrong term to describe certain cooking actions. This only reassures me that if words are not valued, the result is Babble.

By far the most interesting experience I have in reading the recipes is in the similarities I see in these Renaissance dishes to the Medieval fare described in `The Medieval Kitchen', written originally in French by Odile Redon, Francoise Sabban, and Silvano Serventi. Both books document the love the 13th to 15th century nobility had for the `cookie spices', nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and sugar. These ingredients literally show up in virtually every dish. No wonder there was such an interest in finding a way to get these little darlings more cheaply. One can almost hear the echos when we read of Sicilian cooks and recipes which like to add nutmeg to their greens. This practice is not only hundreds of years old, it is `home grown' and not as much an influence from the Saracens as one may think. And, Maestro Martino's introducing local vegetables may have been one of the things which changed tastes away from Asian spices, although I suspect their rarity and the arrival of New World ingredients had a lot to do with this trend as well.

As a source of no more than fifty recipes written so that a modern cook can follow them, this book will not be a very good practical cookbook, especially since the dishes will tend to be either too sweet or too tart for modern tastes. The modernized recipes really are best taken as a means of understanding the connection between Renaissance dishes and their modern equivalents. The only thing I would suggest to the scholars who gave us this really fascinating volume is that pairing the original recipe texts with the modern interpretation would have done much to show us what the original author said versus the modern interpretation of his recipe. I also missed a good recipe or explanation for `verjuice' which the Larousse Gastronomique describes as a sour extraction from grapes; very similar to the wine vinegars we use today.

This book and some of the others I have read recently really fuel my interest in reading a good history of gastronomy. And, if I can't find one, this book is a totally welcome treatment of food of the nobility in Renaissance Italy.

Highly recommended for anyone with scholarly interests.

The Art of Cooking: The First Modern Cookery Book (California Studies in Food and Culture) Overview

Maestro Martino of Como has been called the first celebrity chef, and his extraordinary treatise on Renaissance cookery, The Art of Cooking, is the first known culinary guide to specify ingredients, cooking times and techniques, utensils, and amounts. This vibrant document is also essential to understanding the forms of conviviality developed in Central Italy during the Renaissance, as well as their sociopolitical implications. In addition to the original text, this first complete English translation of the work includes a historical essay by Luigi Ballerini and fifty modernized recipes by acclaimed Italian chef Stefania Barzini. The Art of Cooking, unlike the culinary manuals of the time, is a true gastronomic lexicon, surprisingly like a modern cookbook in identifying the quantity and kinds of ingredients in each dish, the proper procedure for cooking them, and the time required, as well as including many of the secrets of a culinary expert. In his lively introduction, Luigi Ballerini places Maestro Martino in the complicated context of his time and place and guides the reader through the complexities of Italian and papal politics. Stefania Barzini's modernized recipes that follow the text bring the tastes of the original dishes into line with modern tastes. Her knowledgeable explanations of how she has adapted the recipes to the contemporary palate are models of their kind and will inspire readers to recreate these classic dishes in their own kitchens. Jeremy Parzen's translation is the first to gather the entire corpus of Martino's legacy. Illustrations: 1 b/w photograph

Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking Review

I first saw this book at my daughter-in-laws house and was impressed by the authenticity and simplicity of the recipes, as well as the beautiful photographs of the food that just made you want to try them out. I was also impressed that it covered many different regions of Indian cooking, not just one style. Lots of spices and techniques that I just wondered about were clearly explained. I read the book from cover to cover while there, taking some notes and was hoping my daughter-in-law would just tell me to take it home with me, but alas, I left empty handed. I just HAD to order it as soon as we returned home. I am going to buy another copy to give as a gift for relatives that we will be visiting in England who love Indian food.

Madhur Jaffrey Indian Cooking Overview

Chef magazine called this book’s author “the best-known ambassador of Indian food in the United States” . . . and the Boston Herald referred to her as “the renowned author and actress [who] teaches home cooks about the sophistication and infinite diversity of Indian fare.” The New York Times described her simply and succinctly as “the Indian cuisine authority.” For many years a best-selling cookbook, Madhur Jaffrey’s seminal title on Indian cuisine now has been totally revised, redesigned, enlarged, and enhanced with 70 brand-new full-color photos. With chapters on meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, as well as pulses, relishes, chutneys, and pickles, the author guides her readers through the delicious and colorful range of Indian food. More than 100 detailed recipes direct home chefs through step-by-step preparation of well-known classics like Tandoori-style Chicken and Naan Bread, as well as more unusual dishes including Salmon Steamed with Mustard Seeds and Tomato and Drunken Orange Slices. Ms. Jaffrey also presents comprehensive background information on spices and seasonings, kitchen equipment, authentic preparation techniques, and suggested menus. Taste-tempting color photos show prepared dishes.

First Book of Vegetarian Cooking : More Than 300 Recipes Combining Great Taste with Good Nutrition Review

The emphasis in this book is good nutrition with a vegan approach. The author teaches a whole type of cooking based on whole foods, dairy & egg substitutes, texturized vegetable protein (TVP), and a low-fat diet. I found the recipes simple and rewarding. This is a really good book to use as a main source of recipes for a vegan household. Each recipe provides calorie, fiber, sodium, protein, fat, and cholesterol analysis for people on restricted diets. A 20-page section at the end of the book on General Nutritional Information is useful for basic information. This is followed by a Glossary of Ingredients and Remedies which will explain some of the more exotic vegan foods to the uninitiated.

The New Native American Cuisine: Five-Star Recipes from the Chefs of Arizona's Kai Restaurant Review

A beautifully composed, historically compelling, artfully presented study of not only Native American cuisine, but for most, the forgotten Native American cultures that brought it all about.

Included is a "Glossary of Native American and Desert Foods" and a "Shopping Guide" for the ingredients needed to prepare the tempting dishes. "Shopping Guide" web sites are listed and one of the shops: Heritage Foods, USA is located near Detroit in Ann Arbor, Michigan. All go together to make the recipes doable for what will serve to be a one-of-a-kind feast. A sure hit for the holidays.

My fellow Michigan historians are as taken with this book as I am. It is a must-have.

The New Maine Cooking: Serving Up the Good Life Review

I was surprised and most pleased with the condition and short arrival time of my novice purchase of The New Maine Cooking: Serving Up the Good Life
A close friend who knows how much I love "from scratch" recipes that feature "from the wild ingredients" showed me her copy of subject cookbook. However, initial searching indicated it was out of print but finally located a copy on Amazon.com. I hesitated at first as it was so cheap but I was delighted when I unwrapped a clean almost new copy of a much desired out of print cookbook. Am having as much fun reading the book as I am preparing the recipes for healthy basic recipes; everything from Spring Goodies, eg. Sunchokes with fiddlehead fern,nettles, and dock to stuffed grape leaves,creme fraiche, and Maine lobster. Will definitely check Bexleybooks via Amazon.com for future books.

Home Book of Smoke Cooking: Meat, Fish & Game Review

I purchased this book WAY back in the late 70's when I was a meat smoking fool. Many years have past since those smoky days and now I find that I'm back at it again. (Smoking meat that is)Sadly my old copy of this book did not withstand the rigors of time...May it RIP! I was THRILLED when I found my old trusted friend listed here on Amazon.

This is a GREAT book if you're just starting or if you've been doing the smoking thing for years. You get recipes for different kinds of brines, seasonings, basting techniques and just about anything else you'll need to know for smoking.

This is a MUST HAVE book IMO! You can't beat the detailed in depth instructions on how to smoke and cure just about anything. I'm glad to see that after all those years this book is still right on top, this speaks volumes of how good a book it really is.

Ciao!

Harumi's Japanese Home Cooking: Simple, Elegant Recipes for Contemporary Tastes Review

At last, a really good English-language Japanese cookbook. We actually eat many of her recipes on a regular basis, because my wife uses her Japanese-language cookbooks. For what it's worth, her mom cooked professionally in Japan for 40 years and she praises Kurihara's books too. Unlike the other English-language Japanese cookbooks I've seen, she doesn't write about what might be served in restaurants, or an American image of Japanese food, but the sort of things that Japanese people actually like to eat at home. Her commentary on the food and Japanese attitudes towards it is also simple and accurate (IMHO), without any grandiose sociological claims about "Japanese culture," which is refreshing.

The best part for me? Udon, those thick, chewy noodles. I love the stuff, but we can only get it after a 2 hour drive, and it's expensive here in the US. My wife believed that it takes special flour to make, which we can't get, so even though we could eat it pretty much 365 days a year, we only had it occasionally. But Kurihara has a recipe that mixes AP and Bread flour that works! It requires some bad-ass kneading (like stomping on it for 20 minutes--literally) and it isn't quick (it is cheap, though), but they taste great. Even my wife gave it the thumbs up, which says a lot.

Not once did my mind wander off when she spoke. She spoke with such excitement and passion about her work, that it didn't even occur to me to how she was able to come up with 100+ recipies all including green tea, when it was true that you can see she just loved food!

During her talk, Mrs. Compestine showed us her cooking books, a slideshow of her life as well as the video of her incorporating green tea into one of her recipes in Discovery Channel's HOMEMATTERS. Let me just say that I didn't think twice on purchasing her book.

Therefore I strongly recommend this book! You will not just be motivated to lose weight but it would also prove to you that becoming healthy through eating your favorite food is key! Oh, and for those who are really looking into losing weight. The book also included a 3-day-eating plan, using her recipies which according to her, would let you loose 3-7 lbs. :D

The Road to Vindaloo: Curry Cooks and Curry Books (ENGLISH KITCHEN) Review

This excellent work traces the history of curry from medieval Europe and its early days in India through the Raj and Victorian England to modern Britain, where it is the most popular restaurant dish. David Burnett and Helen Saberi do this through a series of lively biographical sketches of cookbook writers, selections from their works, and many recipes. Some of these writers are fairly well known (Wyvern, Eliza Acton, Mrs. Beeton, Hannah Glasse), others less so (the South African writer Hildagonda Duckitt, Dr. R.F. Riddell, Daniel Santiagoe), but all played an important role in curry's evolution. The book contains comprehensive glossaries of curry terms and accompaniments and of curry ingredients, and is charmingly illustrated. The Road to Vindaloo is an invaluable resource for food writers and researchers, cooks, and curry lovers around the world.

The Road to Vindaloo: Curry Cooks and Curry Books (ENGLISH KITCHEN) Overview

This book traces the development of Anglo-Indian cookery, or curry, in English and Scottish cookery books from its earliest appearance in the 18th century through to modern works by Camilla Punjabi and Marguerite Patten. It wanders the lanes and byways of the British occupation of India, unearthing delightful accounts of Imperial eating and explaining how we have grown accustomed to the spice-box of the Raj.The broad intention is to reproduce early recipes for curry and accounts of Anglo-Indian food in their original words. The majority come from printed books, but some are drawn from manuscripts. The narrative traces our enjoyment of Oriental flavours from the 17th century through to the first appearance of a recipe for curry in Hannah Glasse in 1747. Thereafter, it looks at the various classes of cooks who produced popular and interesting recipes, from the female cookbook authors of the 18th century, to the club-cooks of Calcutta and London in the Regency, to the crusty colonels of late Victorian England and the refined French-influenced chefs of the fin de siecle and pre-First World War days. The whole is ornamented by tasty extracts from past literature on eating curries hither and beyond. There are full glossaries and index; illustrations are photographs and prints from old India.

Jack Ubaldi's Meat Book: A Butcher's Guide to Buying, Cutting, and Cooking Meat Review

Jack Ubaldi was, obviously, my grandfather. He knew a great deal about cooking from his restaurant and butcher shop, the cooking classes he taught, and just from the experience of cooking. His book contains not only the very fancy dishes, but quite a bit of how-to information on meat. I boned my first chicken breast with his book propped open! The illustrated hands are his, demonstrating each step. Plus, the stories he has printed are the ones with which I grew up; Italian immigrant who lived the dream!

Woman's Day Book of New Mexican Cooking Review

When I first bought this book in 1984, I found it to be an excellent reference book for Tex-Mex style cooking. There is a wonderful collection of creative recipes from salsas and beverages to soups, main dishes and desserts. I find myself referring back to this book time after time, with the end result being empty dishes (and that is a good thing!) I would recommend the book to all new brides, for their pantry reference. I plan on replacing my old, stained and dog-eared copy!

Tea in the City: New York Review

I had slight sticker shock and hesitated to buy this book. In fact, when it arrived, I was a bit unhappy with the small size. Having perused this small tome (with a cuppa in hand, of course), I've come to realize that my reservations were in vain. What a great book for the tea lover! This guide is not only informative, but well written. I'll be reading it again and again, and I'm sure that many a happy afternoon will be spent in the City (and here in Brooklyn, too) thanks to Ms. Knight. The only downside is that the fifth NYC borough is not mentioned... sounds like a great opportunity for someone in Staten Island to rise to the occasion for a possible (and hoped for by this reader) 2008 edition.

The Best of Clay Pot Cooking Review

This book is excellent! Do I really mean it, given the insightful critiques on this page with low ratings for the book?
Yes, I do; and I give it 5 stars to balance out the reviews. Every dish I've made so far has been absolutely delicious--from
the plainer whole chicken and whole turkey recipes to fancier ones like Chicken Tagine with Green Olives and Preserved Lemon and
Meditteranean Fish Stew. I can't wait to try out more recipes, my only regret being that the book is a small compendum rather than a large one with lots of recipes. What you eat, however, will be good!
So add this to your collection and enjoy it.

The Complete Book of Japanese Cooking Review

I received this book as a gift from my Sister-in-law, a Nisei herself. After about 10 years, she got a copy for herself and her mother, because she realized that she had never seen a better book on Japanese cooking. Her comment was that it had all the food that her family really fixed growing up, but that the recipes were in English measurements (i.e. cups, teaspoons, etc.), which made following the recipes much more convenient to actually use. Before, she and her mother used to laboriously convert the Japanese measurements to English ones, which was a pain. Besides trying all kinds of noodle recipes, I have used this book to make really good vinegared-rice sushi, which is always a huge hit at parties; everyone is just ga-ga; the presentation is just beautiful, truly artistic. The food is also very low fat and healthy, lots of fish. I think if I fed my family this cuisine for one month, we'd lose some serious weight. Japanese cooking is not really as difficult as you might think. There is a relatively simple cast of ingredients and untensils, most of which can be easily obtained at a Japanese grocery store in any good-sized US city. Also, it's quite possible to order Japanese specialty products on the Internet, for e.g at ethnicgrocer.com

The Complete Book of Japanese Cooking Overview

This is the cookbook for anyone who enjoys the simple, fresh and beautifully presented foods of Japan, and is the ideal introduction for those who have yet to taste these delights.

Marjie Lambert's New Bread Machine Book Review

Lots of great breads in this book--Banana Nut Swirl Bread, Moravian Love Buns, and whole-grain recipes. There are quite a few breads using the dough only cycle, including a selection of holiday breads from around the world. One thing that makes these books unique is their full size and lush color photos. [Use a cookbook protector as you'll be sorry to get them floured. ;^)]

If you've grown tired of throwing a mix in the machine and ending up with "box" bread, then this is the book for you.

Shunju: New Japanese Cuisine Review

I was put off buying this book because of two bad reviews that speak very poorly of it. But after finding it in a bookstore and looking through it, I was blown away by how beautiful it was. It is exactly the type of Japanese cookbook that I have always wanted and has quickly become my favorite cookbook.
Arranged into seasons, it has elegant modern Japanese dishes of the type found in classier izakayas. Dishes range from bamboo, sesame, and green tea tofus made from scratch, various Japanese dumplings, grilled ginkgo nuts, wild fruit and herb-infused tonics, and exquisitely beautiful but simple vegetable and meat / fish dishes. The dishes are very trendy and up market, and quite sophisticated. People that I have cooked for using this cookbook have been very impressed and I absolutely love the fact that it is arranged into seasons, keeping alive the tradition of eating seasonally as they do in Japan.
Some ingredients are exotic, but substitutions are included and there is also a mail order list of companies that sell Japanese ingredients in The US.
This book would best suit the type of person that likes elegant Japanese food and has some cooking experience with a base knowledge of Japanese ingredients. It is not really that suitable for beginner cooks, nor anyone unfamiliar with Japanese food.

Shunju: New Japanese Cuisine Overview

Shunju: New Japanese Cuisine takes you on a tour of the restaurants and philosophy at the forefront of Japan’s cooking revolution. Just as Alice Waters changed the way Americans thought about food, Takashi Sugimoto has revolutionized the act of dining in Japan.
