"A lively and authoritative tour through Jose Andres's most beloved and often-cooked recipes from his home country Though renowned chef Jose Andres has made the U.S. his home, his roots in Spain run deep: it's where he thinks some of the best ingredients and most fascinating culinary techniques are celebrated every day and, as he says, it's "where I learned to cook, learned to eat, and most importantly, learned to enjoy food." This vibrant and exciting collection of recipes bears Jose's unique mark and proudly represents a culture that centers its life around the table. Though it's impossible to capture all its richness and variety, Essential Spain reveals Spanish cooking Jose's way - not only the cornerstones of the cuisine but also his favorite recipes to cook and eat, whether in his home kitchen, at his restaurants, of visiting family and friends in Spain. Not only do we discover his recipes for tortilla Espanola, gambas al ajillo, or paella Valenciana, but also those for bullit de peix, the unique fish and rice dish from Ibiza served in two courses; carrilleras, tender pork cheeks braised in a sauce of wine and stock; and a burnt Basque-style cheesecake called Tarta de Queso that has become an international phenomenon. Covering everything from tapas to desserts, soups to vegetables, seafood to meats, wine to cocktails, Essential Spain, written with Sam Chapple-Sokol, is inflected with Jose's distinctive voice and perspective, punctuated by personal stories and illustrative sidebars. It will not only be a reference book for home cooks to return to again and again, but a vivid and rich exploration of how Spaniards cook and eat from one of the country's beloved sons"-- Provided by publisher.

by Kevin R. Kosar
You might think moonshine only comes from ramshackle stills hidden away in the Appalachian Mountains, but the fact of the matter is we’ve been improvising spirits all around the world for centuries. No matter where you go, there is a local bootleg liquor, whether it’s bathtub gin, peatreek, or hjemmebrent. In this book, Kevin R. Kosar tells the colorful and, at times, blinding history of moonshine, a history that’s always been about the people: from crusading lawmen and clever tinkerers to sly smugglers and ruthless gangsters, from pontificating poets and mountain men to beleaguered day-laborers and foolhardy frat boys. Kosar first surveys all the things we’ve made moonshine from, including grapes, grains, sugar, tree bark, horse milk, and much more. But despite the diversity of its possible ingredients, all moonshine has two characteristics: it is extremely alcoholic, and it is, in most places, illegal. Indeed, the history of DIY distilling is a history of criminality and the human ingenuity that has prevailed out of officials’ sights: from cleverly designed stills to the secret smuggling operations that got the goods to market. Kosar also highlights the dark side: completely unregulated, many moonshines are downright toxic and dangerous to drink. Spanning the centuries and the globe, this entertaining book will appeal to any food and drink lover who enjoys a little mischief.
by M. F. K. Fisher
"M.F.K Fisher’s latest excursion into the art or science of gastronomy is more an anthology of the finest writing on the subject than strictly a text of her own composition . . . A royal feast, indeed!" —The New York Times Betty Fussell—winner of the James Beard Foundation’s journalism award, and whose essays on food, travel, and the arts have appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Saveur, and Vogue—is the perfect writer to introduce M.F.K Fisher’s Here Let Us Feast, first published in 1946. The author of Eat, Live, Love, Die has penned a brilliant introduction to this fabulous anthology of gastronomic writing, selected and with commentary from the inimitable M.F.K. Fisher. The celebrated author of such books as The Art of Eating, The Cooking of Provincial France, and With Bold Knife and Fork, Fisher knows how to prepare a feast of reading as no other. Excerpting descriptions of bountiful meals from classic works of British and American literature, Fisher weaves them into a profound discussion of feasting. She also traces gluttony through the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, and claims that the story of a nation's life is charted by its gastronomy. M.F.K. Fisher has arranged everything perfectly, and the result is a succession of unforgettable courses that will entice the most reluctant epicure.
by Fred William Sauceman
This book, the first of two volumes, chronicles a highly personal journey, with plenty of loafing stops along the way, through the hills and hollows of Southern Appalachia, in search of the tastes that define and sustain the region's people. Join food writer Fred Sauceman as the sorghum syrup thickens in September, as the First Family of Country Music repeats the late summer ritual of making the vinegary, vegetable-packed relish called chow-chow in Virginia, and as ramps, audacious cousins to the green onion, first push through winter's leaves on the forest floor near the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina. Learn pimento cheese techniques from octogenarian pharmacists, eat gas station pizza off a warm car hood, and revel in the simple but ingenious concoction called Beans All the Way.
