Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll

Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll

An all-access history of the rise of the restaurant chef and the culinary culture of the 1970s and ’80s: “Fast, fun, and furious.” —The Wall Street JournalChefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll transports us back in time to witness the remarkable evolution of the American restaurant chef. Taking a rare coast-to-coast perspective, Andrew Friedman goes inside Chez Panisse and other Bay Area restaurants to show how the politically charged backdrop of Berkeley helped draw new talent to the profession; into the historically underrated community of Los Angeles chefs, including a young Wolfgang Puck and future stars such as Susan Feniger, Mary Sue Milliken, and Nancy Silverton; and into the clash of cultures between established French chefs in New York City and the American game changers behind The Quilted Giraffe, The River Cafe, and other East Coast establishments. We also meet young cooks of the time, such as Tom Colicchio and Emeril Lagasse, who went on to become household names in their own right. Along the way, the chefs, their struggles, their cliques, and, of course, their restaurants are brought to life in vivid detail. As the ‘80s unspool, we see the profession and the culinary scene evolve—all as the industry-altering Food Network shimmers on the horizon.Told largely in the words of the people who lived it, captured in over two hundred interviews with writers like Ruth Reichl and legends like Jeremiah Tower, Alice Waters, Jonathan Waxman, and Barry Wine, Chefs, Drugs and Rock & Roll offers an unparalleled 360-degree re-creation of the business and the times through the perspectives not only of the groundbreaking chefs but also of line cooks, front-of-house personnel, investors, and critics who had ringside seats to this extraordinary transformation.“Friedman’s passion for the subject infuses every anecdote, detail, and interview, making this culinary narrative an engrossing experience.” —Publishers Weekly“A lively, anecdotal romp through the rise of modern American cuisine from the early 1970s to the early ’90s.” —New York Post

Infantilização: leite condensado & jatobá & Diálogo surdo com o pâtissier que há em você

Infantilização: leite condensado & jatobá & Diálogo surdo com o pâtissier que há em você

Me emociona comer um jatobá - mais por esse torvelinho mental do tempo, da evocação forçosa de situações infantis, do que propriamente pelo gosto como consigo perceber hoje. O leite condensado, primeiramente complemento de dieta infantil, vendido em farmácias, decaiu quando, de novo, valorizou-se o aleitamento materno. Imagine que você é um chef dentro de uma cozinha e tem, para fazer sua sobremesa, apenas leite, creme de leite, ovos, açúcar, farinha e leite condensado. O que você faria?

The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World

The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World

An “engrossing” history of the restaurant atop the World Trade Center “that ruled the New York City skyline from April 1976 until September 11, 2001” (Booklist, starred review).In the 1970s, New York City was plagued by crime, filth, and an ineffective government. The city was falling apart, and even the newly constructed World Trade Center threatened to be a fiasco. But in April 1976, a quarter-mile up on the 107th floor of the North Tower, a new restaurant called Windows on the World opened its doors—a glittering sign that New York wasn’t done just yet.In The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World, journalist Tom Roston tells the complete history of this incredible restaurant, from its stunning $14-million opening to 9/11 and its tragic end. There are stories of the people behind it, such as Joe Baum, the celebrated restaurateur, who was said to be the only man who could outspend an unlimited budget; the well-tipped waiters; and the cavalcade of famous guests as well as everyday people celebrating the key moments in their lives. Roston also charts the changes in American food, from baroque and theatrical to locally sourced and organic. Built on nearly 150 original interviews, The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World is the story of New York City’s restaurant culture and the quintessential American drive to succeed. “Roston also digs deeply into the history of New York restaurants, and how Windows on the World was shaped by the politics and social conditions of its era.” —The New York Times“The city’s premier celebration venue, deeply woven into its social, culinary and business fabrics, deserved a proper history. Roston delivers it with power, detail, humor and heartbreak to spare.” ?New York Post“A rich, complex account.” ?Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent

Food and Cookery for the Sick and Convalescent

With information ranging from food and nutrition to specific recipes for different maladies this is not just another cookbook. In it are chapters devoted to body chemistry and digestion, infant feeding, child feeding, cooking for the sick, how to prepare and serve food trays for the ill, and more. Fannie Farmer regarded the book as one of her great achievements. She writes, "This work is designed to meet the demands made upon me by the numberless classes of trained nurses whom it has been my pleasure and privilege to instruct during my thirteen years of service as a teacher of cookery. "It is earnestly hoped that, besides meeting this long felt need, it will do a still broader work in thousands of homes throughout the land, where it will be of inestimable help to the mothers upon whom so much of the welfare of the family depends. "The opening chapters are equally valuable to those who care for the sick and those who see in correct feeding the way of preventing much of the illness about us. "Emphasis has been laid on the importance of diet from infancy to old age. The classification, composition, nutritive value, and digestibility of foods have been carefully considered with the same constant purpose of being a help to those who arrange dietaries. The chapter on infant feeding is an authoritative guide to aid in the development of the baby, while child feeding is considered with like care. Considerable matter has been introduced with reference to diet in various diseases, and the recipes for the diabetic have involved much thought and labor. "The hundreds of thoroughly tested recipes cover the whole range of the subject of cookery for the sick and convalescent They are, for the most part, individual, thus requiring but a minimum of time for their preparation, while many have their caloric value given. "I wish to express my sincere thanks for the sympathy, encouragement, and help I have received from pupils, superintendents of nurses, professors, and physicians, which have made this work possible."

De geuren van de wereld

De geuren van de wereld

Truffels die met de hulp van eencelligen ondergronds de geuren produceren die varkens en honden lokken om de truffels op te graven. Onze huid die metalig kan ruiken. Rauwe oesters die soms aan komkommer doen denken, sherry aan sojasaus en maïstortilla's aan honing. De aarde die aards ruikt als droogte plaatsmaakt voor regen. Harold McGee neemt ons mee op zijn zintuigelijke reis door de wereld van geuren: van de oorsprong van vluchtige moleculen in de interstellaire ruimte, via de geuren van de lucht en de oceanen, het bos en de stad, naar de geuren van voedsel en drank. Ontdek met hem de verborgen geuren van het gewone (natte bestrating en gemaaid gras) en het buitengewone (vers brood en chocolade); van het heerlijke (rozen en vanille) en het onaangename (bedorven vlees en rotte eieren). Op basis van de nieuwste biologische en scheikundige inzichten, verweven met persoonlijke observaties, laat Harold McGee zien hoe ons reukvermogen de kracht heeft om onzichtbare kanten van ons leven bloot te leggen. Zijn nieuwe meesterwerk is de complete wetenschap en taxonomie van geuren; het overrompelende resultaat van tien jaar onderzoek. Welkom in de wondere osmokosmos van Harold McGee.

A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes

Forget about getting back to the land, David Tanis just wants you to get back to the kitchen For six months a year, David Tanis is the head chef at Chez Panisse, the Berkeley, California, restaurant where he has worked alongside Alice Waters since the 1980s in creating a revolution in sustainable American cuisine. The other six months, Tanis lives in Paris in a seventeenth-century apartment, where he hosts intimate dinners for friends and paying guests, and prepares the food in a small kitchen equipped with nothing more than an old stove, a little counter space, and a handful of wellused pots and pans. This is the book for anyone who wants to gather and feed friends around a table and nurture their conversation. It’s not about showing off with complicated techniques and obscure ingredients. Worlds away from the showy Food Network personalities, Tanis believes that the most satisfying meals—for both the cook and the guest—are invariably the simplest. Home cooks can easily re-create any of his 24 seasonal, market-driven menus, from spring’s Supper of the Lamb (Warm Asparagus Vinaigrette; Shoulder of Spring Lamb with Flageolet Beans and Olive Relish; Rum Baba with Cardamom) to winter’s North African Comfort Food (Carrot and Coriander Salad; Chicken Tagine with Pumpkin and Chickpeas). Best of all, Tanis is an engaging guide with a genuine gift for words, whose soulful approach to food will make any kitchen, big or small, a warm and compelling place to spend time.
