America's Founding Food: The Story of New England Cooking

Author: Keith Stavely

From baked beans to apple cider, from clam chowder to pumpkin pie, Keith Stavely and Kathleen Fitzgerald's culinary history reveals the complex and colorful origins of New England foods and cookery. Featuring hosts of stories and recipes derived from generations of New Englanders of diverse backgrounds, America's Founding Food chronicles the region's cuisine, from the English settlers' first encounter with Indian corn in the early seventeenth century to the nostalgic marketing of New England dishes in the first half of the twentieth century.

Focusing on the traditional foods of the region--including beans, pumpkins, seafood, meats, baked goods, and beverages such as cider and rum--the authors show how New Englanders procured, preserved, and prepared their sustaining dishes. Placing the New England culinary experience in the broader context of British and American history and culture, Stavely and Fitzgerald demonstrate the importance of New England's foods to the formation of American identity, while dispelling some of the myths arising from patriotic sentiment.

At once a sharp assessment and a savory recollection, America's Founding Food sets out the rich story of the American dinner table and provides a new way to appreciate American history.

From Bangkok to Bali in 30 Minutes: 175 Fast and Easy Recipes with the Lush, Tropical Flavors of Southeast Asia

Author: Theresa Volpe Laursen

The authors present 165 fabulous recipes that use ingredients now found in supermarkets everywhere to create home-cooked southeast Asian meals in less than half an hour.

Publishers Weekly

In this tour through such countries as Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia, the authors present recipes perfect for a hot summer. Home cooks will be pleased to see the many recipes, including the familiar standbys that make Southeast Asian cuisine so popular: Rendang-Style Beef Curry, for example, and Thai-Style Stir-Fried Rice Noodles, as well as instructions for creating popular condiments, such as sweet vegetable pickles and Sweet Hot Thai Chilli Sauce. The Laursens (Theresa is a food writer and cooking teacher; Byron is a freelance writer) offer subtle twists on such recipes as Cambodian Steamed Mussels with Pineapple and Thai Basil; Pan-seared Tuna Steaks Au Poivre; and Chicken and Fennel with Thai Green Curry and Basil. Less certain to appeal are recipes with a Western spin, such as the Philly-Style Vietnamese Hoagies with BBQ Pork and the Bangkok-to-Bali Burgers with Grilled Onions. Rounding out these heat-inspired recipes are beverages (Vietnamese-Style Iced Coffee; Lychee Bellinis), appetizers (Spicy Stir-Fried Cashews; Fried Spring Rolls Filippino Style) and salads (Seared Scallops and Fresh Orange Salad with Mint Leaves and Crisp-Fried Shallots). The result is a mixed bag. While the sheer number of dishes may overwhelm some readers, those looking to expand their regional cooking repertoire will find much of what they need in these easy-to-follow recipes.

Library Journal

The Laursens are the coauthors of Victor Sodsook's excellent True Thai, and their new book grew out of their experiences with it. When a woman at a book signing asked if they could point out "three easy recipes...without any special ingredients" for a dinner party (and her kids), the idea for this cookbook, with its easy, approachable recipes adapted from or inspired by Southeast Asian cuisines, was born. The authors include both classics such as Thai Chicken and Coconut Soup and cross-cultural improvisations like Green Mango and Prosciutto. A glossary covers basic ingredients, with substitutions given where practical, and headnotes provide serving suggestions and ideas for variations. Readers will find the Laursens' enthusiasm contagious, their recipes approachable and inviting. Recommended for most collections. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
