Deceptively Delicious

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

The New York Times–bestselling cookbook that shows frustrated parents how to hide healthy ingredients in their kids' favorite foods! As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves battling with kids who refuse to eat their vegetables. Her book is filled with kid-approved recipes—stealthily packed with veggies so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, and tips on how to deal with the kid who "must have" the latest sugar bomb cereal. Along with recipes and tips, Seinfeld addresses the big-picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. Deceptively Delicious provides an arsenal of information on kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. This book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent who wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come. "I found the techniques for adding vegetables to meals extremely creative and the recipes fantastic." —Bob Greene, New York Times–bestselling author of The Best Life Diet "Sound tips for learning to say no to junk when kids ask, encouraging conversation, getting children to participate in prep and cleaning, and developing age-appropriate eating habits." —Publishers Weekly

A Taste of Paris

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

“Skillfully combines culinary history with reports from . . . the city’s most tasteful arrondissements. . . . [blends] the past with the present in gorgeous style” —The New York TimesIn his trademark witty and informative style, David Downie embarks on a quest to discover “What is it about the history of Paris that has made it a food lover’s paradise?” Long before Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake!” (actually, it was brioche), the Romans of Paris devoured foie gras, and live oysters rushed in from the Atlantic; one Medieval cookbook describes a thirty-two part meal featuring hare stew, eel soup, and honeyed wine; during the last great banquet at Versailles a year before the Revolution the gourmand Louis XVI savored thirty-two main dishes and sixteen desserts.Following the contours of history and the geography of the city, Downie sweeps readers on an insider’s gourmet walking tour of Paris and its environs in A Taste of Paris, revealing the locations of Roman butcher shops, classic Belle Epoque bistros serving diners today and Marie Antoinette’s exquisite vegetable garden that still supplies produce, no longer to the unfortunate queen, but to the legendary Alain Ducasse and his stylish restaurant inside the palace of Versailles. Along the way, readers learn why the rich culinary heritage of France still makes Paris the ultimate arbiter in the world of food.“A joyous romp through time.”—Alice Waters, James Beard Award–winning chef, founder, Chez Parnisse“A gastronomic jaunt through the city that tells how Paris distinguished itself as a world capital of eating.” —Eleanor Beardsley, NPR’s Paris Correspondent“[A] delightful, thoroughly researched culinary history.” —Publishers Weekly

A Bone to Pick

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

Since his New York Times op-ed column debuted in 2011, Mark Bittman has emerged as one of our most impassioned and opinionated observers of the food landscape. The Times’ only dedicated opinion columnist covering the food beat, Bittman routinely makes readers think twice about how the food we eat is produced, distributed, and cooked, and shines a bright light on the profound impact that diet—both good and bad—can have on our health and that of the planet. In A Bone to Pick, Mark’s most memorable and thought-provoking columns are compiled into a single volume for the first time. As abundant and safe as the American food supply appears to be, the state of our health reveals the presence of staggering deficiencies in both the system that produces food and the forces that regulate it. Bittman leaves no issue unexamined; agricultural practices, government legislation, fad diets, and corporate greed all come under scrutiny and show that the issues governing what ends up in our market basket and on our tables are both complex and often deliberately confusing. Unabashedly opinionated and invariably thought provoking, Bittman’s columns have helped readers decipher arcane policy, unpack scientific studies, and deflate affronts to common sense when it comes to determining what “eating well” truly means. As urgent as the situation is, Mark contends that we can be optimistic about the future of our food and its impact on our health, as slow-food movements, better school-lunch programs, and even “healthy fast food” become part of the norm. At once inspiring, enraging, and enlightening, A Bone to Pick is an essential resource for every reader eager to understand not only the complexities inherent in the American food system, but also the many opportunities that exist to improve it.

Cheesecake

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

A história se desenrola na movimentada Manhattan dos anos 1970, onde a culinária vai além do simples ato de comer e revela o status social dos habitantes. Entre as sobremesas mais apreciadas estão o strudel de semente de papoula, o bolo de sorvete de praliné e o tradicional cheesecake nova-iorquino. Esse cenário muda quando uma família de imigrantes gregos, especialistas em queijos, inaugura um restaurante na cidade. No menu, destaca-se um cheesecake inspirado na receita mais antiga conhecida, registrada por Catão, romano do século III a.C. A versão adaptada, agora com cream cheese e biscoito — ingredientes ausentes na época de Catão —, mantém o sabor doce e leve sem revelar o mistério da receita original. A aposta em conquistar um público mais exigente dá resultado: o cheesecake torna-se febre no bairro estimulando a criatividade dos moradores que passam a experimentar novos ingredientes. Em meio a essas inovações desenrolam-se conflitos, encontros, fracassos e sucessos, revelando o cotidiano diverso de artistas, comerciantes, religiosos e imigrantes, todos imersos nas transformações daquele tempo. "Cheesecake: um romance com história" oferece ao leitor um retrato vívido de um lugar e de uma época marcantes na história recente da cidade, além de aguçar o desejo pela garfada na sobremesa queridinha de muita gente: o cheesecake.
