John Schreiners Okanagan Wine Tour Guide or Substitutes for Flesh Foods

John Schreiner's Okanagan Wine Tour Guide

Author: John Schreiner


Explore British Columbia's world famous wine region with wine expert John Schreiner.

The lush Okanagan Valley is internationally acclaimed for its wine industry. Updated and revised with 30 percent new material, John Schreiner's Okanagan Wine Tour Guide provides succinct, insider profiles of each winery.

Included are thumbnail sketches of proprietors, winemakers, and well-known wineries as well as many new ones. Schreiner peppers the book with fascinating facts acquired through his winery visits: Crowsnest Vineyards offers a red wine from the improbably named Samtrot grape; Hunting Hawk Vineyards has a second winery at the historic O'Keefe Ranch in Vernon, British Columbia; and Two Thumbs Up was the name of the Okanagan's first $100-a-bottle Meritage wine.

Schreiner guides the wine tourist to the best wines by sharing his own favorites from the region. Maps, addresses, telephone numbers and website addresses round out this valuable tour guide.

Sugar Mill Caribbean Cookbook

Author: Jinx Morgan

In The Sugar Mill Caribbean Cookbook, the Morgans show that you do not need to live in the Caribbean to cook in the island style. In more than 250 recipes that use ingredients easy to find in American groceries, they demystify island cooking. They celebrate the many roots of Caribbean cuisine - native Carib and Arawak, African, Cajun, Latin American, and European - and they make it accessible to home cooks without sacrificing its authenticity or its subtle nuances. Caribbean food features intense flavors, lively combinations of spices, and delectable juxtapositions of coolness and heat, sweetness and tang. From their California roots, the Morgans bring an emphasis on fresh seasonal produce and a light and elegant style. With menu suggestions for sophisticated entertaining, and with a wealth of ideas for simple and terrific everyday meals, this book is the ideal companion for travelers who have visited the islands and want to recreate its cooking at home and for fans of global cooking who want to master a new and fascinating cuisine with ease.

Publishers Weekly

Columnists for Bon Appetit magazine, the Morgans also own the Sugar Mill resort in Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and so are no strangers to the Caribbean and its culinary delicacies. The 250 recipes gathered here come mainly from their restaurants' menus, which in turn draw from the region's cuisine and ingredients. Directions are friendly and straightforward yet detailed enough to help even a kitchen tyro succeed. Organized by meals ("Sunrise Specials") and main ingredients ("From the Fish Pot," "Sugar Island Sweets"), recipes range from Sweet-Potato Waffles with Orange Butter to such late-day libations as a Banana Daiquiri or Coffee Rumba. Salad specialties include Hearts of Palm Carnival, brightened with hot peppers; Green Papaya Salad with a mustard dressing; and Green Bananas simmered in milk and served with an olive vinaigrette. The fish and seafood recipes are understandably strong: Ginger-Lime Scallops with Toasted Walnuts; Coconut Shrimp with Vegetables; a variety of firm fresh fish fillets can be used in dishes like Fish with Tomato and Banana. Many of the recipes for beef and, especially, pork, use barbecue and grilling techniques. Such sauces as Major Morgan's Mango and other chutneys, sauces and salsas accompany many recipes. (Oct.)

Chocolate on Trial: Slavery, Politics, and the Ethics of Business

Author: Lowell J Satr

At the turn of the twentieth century Cadbury Bros. Ltd. was a successful Quaker-owned chocolate manufacturer in Birmingham, England, celebrated for its model village, modern factory, and concern for employees. In 1901, Cadbury learned that its cocoa beans purchased from Portuguese-owned plantations on the island of Sao Tome off West Africa were produced by slave labor. Chocolate on Trial: Cadbury, Slavery and the Economics of Virtue in Imperial Britain gives a lively and highly readable account of the events surrounding the libel trial in which Cadbury sued the London Standard, following the newspaper's accusation that the firm was hypocritical in its use of slave-grown cocoa. As compelling now as at the turn of the previous century, the issues probed by Lowell J. Satre give invaluable historical background to contemporary issues of business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and globalization. The story Satre tells illuminates what a stubbornly persistent institution slavery was and shows how Cadbury, a company with a well-regarded brand name and logo, endured ethical dilemmas and challenges to its record for social responsibility. Chocolate on Trial brings to life the age-old conflict between economic interests and the value of human life.

Nathalie Dupree's Southern Memories: Recipes and Reminiscences

Author: Nathalie Dupre

"For years, television host and author Nathalie Dupree has led the renaissance of Southern cooking, bringing the best of the region's fare to the rest of the country. Now available in paperback for the first time, Nathalie Dupree's Southern Memories is the culmination of her lasting love affair with Southern food and Southern living. It is a heartfelt tribute to the people and places that have shaped her philosophy of cooking and entertaining." "Join Nathalie as she explores the glorious South, from the oyster beds of North Carolina to the rice fields of Louisiana, with dozens of delicious stops in between and foolproof recipes for more than 150 regional favorites. This culinary tour of the region she has called home for more than forty years pays homage to the old and the new. Offering recipes for such Southern classics as Hopping John, Frogmore Stew, Angel Biscuits, and Country Ham Cooked in Coca-Cola, Nathalie also presents a hearty helping of less traditional fare, including Beef Tenderloin with Oysters Rockefeller Sauce and a savory Vidalia Onion Tart." Gorgeous full-color photographs capture the South's gracious ambience, and Nathalie's personal recollections highlight the history and customs that have influenced the way Southerners eat today.

Publishers Weekly

Southerner Dupree ( Nathalie Dupree Cooks for Family and Friends ), a restaurateuse, columnist and television host, reflects, ``My South is the South where I ate fried fish for my wedding supper on the island of Ocracoke . . . the South is my soul.'' Here she feeds the body, too, with such favorites as ``Fish Muddle'' (a stew), fried catfish, microwave peanut brittle and other no-nonsense indulgences from south of the Mason-Dixon line. Pure pleasure has rarely been so immediately apparent in a culinary album: pictured plenty beams from almost every page, and it's unsurprising to find a ``Spring Garden Cake'' adorned with candied violets at rest in one photo under lavishly draped festoons of wisteria. Dupree's vision combines comfort with luxury as though there were no other choice; her taste is never pretentious, and her scruples about buttermilk, shortening and bacon are few and far between. But that's the South, and she doesn't reform it, leaving that chore to whatever Puritans may remain and inviting the rest of us to enjoy a full and flavorful repast. (Oct.)

Land of Milk and Honey: Travels in the History of Indian Food

Author: Chitrita Banerji

A culture as ancient as India's, as layered and as plural, inevitably rejoices in a fascinatingly rich history of food, feeding and eating. The most ancient scriptures prescribe and proscribe on the subject, life cycle rituals are intricately bound up with it, and the symbolism of food is part of everyday life. Land of Milk and Honey tells the stories of India's food. Rich in detail and discovery, the essays included here range from the rituals of propitiatory meals - from feeding the gods, the priest, the son-in-law or the dead - to the historic symbolism of milk, and from the probable fifteenth century Portuguese origins of the traditional sweets of Bengal to the intricate variety of art connected with food and ritual.

Sugar Pie and Jelly Roll: Sweets from a Southern Kitchen

Author: Robbin Gourley

Raised on a farm in North Carolina, Robbin Gourley started baking as a child the day she got her first toy oven. She's been producing beautiful paintings for almost as long. Her newest cookbook is a perfect combination of all of Gourley's talents, bringing together over sixty of her classic Southern dessert recipes (ranging from Chocolate Chess Pie to Syllabub), and over seventy-five of her delicate watercolors. Taking us back through reminiscences of her youth, Gourley shares how sweets wound their way through her childhood and family: the Raspberry Summer Pudding that her mother made with their freshly picked berries, the Pumpkin Chiffon Pie her uncle couldn't resist, and the Sugar-Crust Pound Cake that became her father's favorite. Divided into sections, the cookbook features easy-to-follow recipes for Pies, Crisps, and Crumbles; Puddings and Custards; Candy, Cookies and Bars; Favorite Cakes;Chilled and Spirited Desserts; Embellishments and Sauces.

Just the thing to round out the meal, Sugar Pie and Jelly Roll makes creating desserts as much fun as helping them disappear.

Library Journal

This charming little book offers 60 recipes for favorite Southern treats, such as Opera Creams and Burnt-Sugar Cake, illustrated with the author's delightful watercolors. The text is forthright, informative, and often amusing: "The problem with chess pies is that despite the sublime pleasure they deliver, they are ugly as sin--so don't present them as le grande finale" (she's right, but it's reassuring to have someone say so), or, " sickly marshmallows sandwiched between undistinguished chocolate wafers--[do] not a moon pie make. This [one] is a dreamy mocha cream." A good companion to James Villas's excellent My Mother's Southern Desserts, this is recommended for most baking collections.

Is God a Vegetarian?: Christianity, Vegetarianism, and Animal Rights

Author: Richard Alan Alan Young

Close readings of key biblical texts pertaining to dietary customs, vegetarianism, and animal rights comprise the substance of this book. Rather than ignoring or offering a literal, 20th-century interpretation of the passages, Young analyzes the voices of these conflicting dietary motifs within their own social contexts.

Choice Magazine

As a proponent of a narrative ethic of virtues, [Young] portrays the main biblical story as one of moving from the nonviolent peace of creation to the Peaceable Kingdom at the end with, in between, a divine permission of meat eating and sacrifices as a concession to human limitations and existing customs. He invites his readers to enter this story, he provides vegetarian recipes with each chapter and an epilogue on how to achieve a healthful vegetarian diet, and he answers the typical arguments of meat-eating biblical Christians. A valuable addition to any collection that deals with vegetarianism or Biblical studies.

Publishers Weekly

Young, who teaches New Testament at Temple Baptist Seminary, is as concerned with how to read scripture as he is with vegetarianism. As a result, he offers an insightful account of biblical ethics combined with an accessible argument for vegetarianism. Rather than mining scripture for proof texts, he searches for "directional markers" that serve as "flexible guidelines" for Christians looking to make moral decisions about animal rights and vegetarianism. His argument against cruelty to animals is not grounded in an abstract set of rights but in a narrative account that depicts a God intimately related to the whole of creation. Not set simply on proving that Jesus was a vegetarian, Young describes a peaceable kingdom where harmonious relations among creatures is more consistent with the Hebrew understanding of God than is a world marked by violence. Young returns repeatedly to biblical images of a peaceable kingdom and asks how we can evoke similar images in our own places and times. Each of his 13 chapters ends with two vegetarian recipes, and the epilogue offers a simple but well-documented account of "going veggie." As a whole, the book is a practical introduction to ethics made particularly accessible by sustained attention to a single popular issue. It is also an articulate case for vegetarianism that is neither simply a popular treatise on health and diet nor a political treatise on animal rights. Young's book offers a thoughtful reflection on a world of peace and justice in which, though we may not be what we eat, what we eat, and why, is an integral part of who we are. (Oct.)

Library Journal

Religions have been used to justify variations of human behavior ranging from how to wage war to ways of preserving peace. The religious reasons why humans should restrain from eating meat are the concern of these two books. Berry, historical adviser to the North American Vegetarian Society, has compiled essays discussing how the world's religions (Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Judaism, Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity, and Sufism) have dealt with vegetarianism. Accompanying each essay is an interview with a vegetarian practitioner of that particular faith, usually a clergy member, monk, or self-proclaimed follower. The true value of this book is in these interviews, where the scholarly interpretations of religious texts come alive in the daily practices of the believers. Unlike Berry, Young (New Testament studies, Temple Baptist Seminary) restricts his perspective to biblical interpretations of text concerning the dietary laws and customs of Christians and Jews. It is through this careful reading of the Bible that he engages the reader in a discussion of the dilemma, both religious and social, of whether "real" Christians should be vegetarians. He expands his thesis to include animal testing and experimentation, the fur industry, and animal factories. Both books strongly advocate vegetarianism, and the theological arguments are biased toward non-meat eating, but this does not distract from the deep scholarship performed by both authors. For those who are seeking a religious basis for their vegetarianism, these two books are essential reading. Recommended for all libraries.--Glenn Masuchika, Chaminade Univ. Lib., Honolulu

One Fish Two Fish Crawfish Bluefish or Champagne and Sparkling Wines

One Fish, Two Fish, Crawfish, Bluefish

Author: Carole C Baldwin

America's top chefs present delectable and ecologically sound seafood recipes.Earth's oceans were once thought to be inexhaustible sources of food, but we now know that they cannot sustain the demands we are placing on them. Overfishing has led to the depletion of once abundant fish and shellfish species. Yet seafood is a healthy and desirable choice in our diets. So what is an ecologically conscious, seafood-loving cook to do? Carole C. Baldwin and Julie H. Mounts have solved the dilemma. Rather than suggest avoiding consumption of seafood for conservation purposes, they present an array of U.S. seafood species to choose from that are fished or farmed in an ecologically sound manner. Furthermore, they have assembled delicious recipes from America's top chefs based on these species: try Alice Waters's Dungeness Crab Salad with Meyer Lemon, Endive, and Watercress; Mario Batali's Atlantic Mackerel in Scapece with Lemon Thyme and Sweet Peppers; or Sautéed Soft-Shell Crabs on Asparagus from Jacques Pepin. By diversifying our seafood consumption, we can lessen the demand for problematic species and distribute the burden among a broad spectrum of well-managed stocks—and still prepare delicious meals. Beautifully illustrated with 25 color illustrations by Charlotte Knox.

Bon Apppetit - Nancy Rommelmann

For those looking for a chocolate challenge will enjoy Chocolate Passion by Tish Boyle and Timothy Moriarty. The book eases readers in with an opening chapter on the origins, history and preparation of this universally loved food, then wham! hits us with recipes that are not for the faint of heart.

Publishers Weekly

Boyle and Moriarty, both editors at Chocolatier Magazine, offer 54 recipes for truffles and candies, souffl s, meringues, mousses and cakes. Marble Tuiles with Pistachio Praline White Chocolate Mousse (a chocolate-flavored cookie cup filled with pralines and mousse and topped with tangerine sauce) falls on the complicated end of the book's spectrum. But even simpler recipes don't lack flavor: Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies with Milk Chocolate Frosting is juiced with Frangelico liqueur. There's Flourless Bittersweet Chocolate Cake with Milk Chocolate Drizzle, retro selections, such as Individual Baked Alaskas and the unusual, such as Ganache-Filled Fried Wontons with Ginger Ice Cream and Chocolate Sorbet. Home cooks' initial enthusiasm may diminish after reading instructions for these elaborate creations: except for a handful, the desserts take upwards of 1 1/2 hours to prepare--and that doesn't include time spent baking, chilling and freezing. Devoted home bakers and professionals who have high kitchen tolerance, however, will be inspired enough to invest the time. (Nov.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

Atlanta Cooknotes was added in the spring, and backordered because we had to order them from a different source. They have come in, and this is the sample I owe you. I believe this one is already in the Ingram system.

Williams-Sonoma New Healthy Kitchen: Main Dishes

Author: Georgeanne Brennan

With New Healthy Kitchen Main Dishes, you can improve your diet while enjoying recipes such as Honey-Glazed Lamb Chops with Apricot Salsa, Quail with Roasted Fresh Figs, or Tabbouleh with Lemony Scallops. This colorful series of healthy cookbooks takes a commonsense approach to eating right. Food fads and trendy diets may come and go, but your family doctor can tell you that you will never go wrong eating a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, and legumes.

We all know that we're supposed to be eating several servings of each of these foods every day. But you might not know that we're also supposed to be eating as many different colors of fruit and vegetable as possible. The naturally occurring pigments that give vibrant colors to fruits and vegetables also offer an array of unique health benefits, boosting your immune system and fighting common diseases and conditions as you age. These pigments and other plant compounds -- known as antioxidants and phytochemicals -- work in tandem with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to keep our bodies strong and well.

The amazing benefits of colorful foods, whole grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts are being studied in labs across the country and touted by government experts on nutrition. But all the good advice in the world won't help you put a healthy dinner on the table. The books of the New Healthy Kitchen series -- Starters, Main Dishes, and Desserts -- will do just that.

The 60 recipes in these pages, grouped by the color of a key ingredient, offer dozens of appealing and easy ways to bring a rainbow of fruits, vegetables, and grains into your daily meals. Even better, 24 "Fresh Ideas" suggest simpleways of enjoying fresh produce as a snack or side dish.

With New Healthy Kitchen Main Dishes, eating right won't be a sacrifice or a chore. In these books, healthy food means good food, simply prepared and a pleasure to eat.

Publishers Weekly

Fitting in squarely between Starters and Desserts, the two other volumes to date in the New Healthy Kitchen series edited by Chuck Williams, this richly illustrated volume proposes the rainbow approach to dining. It's not about calories or carbs, it's about reds and greens and browns; for each color has its own "phytochemicals," a word that appears as often in these pages as "butter" slides across the works of Julia Child. The organizing principle, which acknowledges its roots in the work of the Produce for Better Health Foundation, keys each recipe to the color of its principal ingredient. Otherwise the book is not particularly distinguished from others serving up new California cuisine-light, bright, herb-strewn and agreeably complex without being truly complicated. This is mostly scratch cooking, with exceptions for the likes of prepared horseradish and chicken stock. The one notable deviation is the Chickpea, Corn & Cilantro Salad, which calls for canned chickpeas; here taste and texture were apparently sacrificed to minimize the aggregate prep and cooking time. What the recipes don't mention is how much shopping time is required and how critical it is that the cook have access to specialty grocers in order to whip up a quick dish with purple asparagus or Puy lentils.

Library Journal

Each volume in this new series includes 60 recipes, arranged by color of the main ingredient. The general introductions emphasize the nutritional benefits of a diet "rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains," as well as of "eating the rainbow," listing the health benefits of each color group. Brennan is a well-known cookbook author (e.g., Foods and Flavors of Haute Provence), and Langbein, a prolific cookbook writer from New Zealand. The recipes are simple and uncomplicated, and there are suggestions for other easy dishes in each section as well. Lavishly illustrated with color photographs, these large-format books have a design somewhat similar to that of Donna Hay's popular cookbooks. For larger collections.
