 | CookWise: The Hows & Whys of Successful Cooking, The Secrets of Cooking Revealed
Brand: William Morrow Cookbooks
Can you tell whether a recipe will work before you cook it? You can if you really know what's cooking.<p>In the long-awaited <i>CookWise,</i> food sleuth Shirley Corriher tells you how and why things happen in cooking. When you know how to estimate the right amount of baking powder, you can tell by looking at the recipe that the cake is overleavened and may fall. When you know that too little liquid for the amount of chocolate in a recipe can cause the chocolate to seize and become a solid grainy mass, you can spot chocolate truffle recipes that will be a disaster. And, in both cases, you know exactly how to "fix" the recipe. Knowing how ingredients work, individually and in combination, will not only make you more aware of the cooking process, but transform you into a confident and exceptional cook -- a cook who is in control.</p><p><i>CookWise</i> is a different kind of cookbook. There are over 230 outstanding recipes -- from Snapper Fingers with Smoked Pepper Tartar Sauce to Chocolate Stonehenge Slabs with Cappuccino Mousse -- but here each recipe serves not only to please the palate but to demonstrate the roles of ingredients and techniques. A What This Recipe Shows section summarizes the special cooking points being demonstrated in each recipe. This little bit of science in everyday language indicates which steps or ingredients are vital and cannot be omitted without consequences.</p><p>Among the recipes you'll also find some surprises. Don't be afraid of a vinaigrette prepared without vinegar or a high-egg-white, crisp pâte â choux. Many of the concepts used here are Shirley's own. Try her method of sprinkling croissant or puff pastry dough with ice water before folding to keep it soft and easy to roll.</p><p><i>CookWise</i> covers everything from the rise and fall of cakes, through unscrambling the powers of eggs and why red cabbage turns blue during cooking but red peppers don't, to the essential role of crystals in making fudge. Want to learn about what makes a crust flaky? Try the Big-Chunk Fresh Apple Pie in Flaky cheese Crust. Discover for yourself what brining does to poultry in Juicy Roast Chicken.</p><p>No matter what your cooking level, you'll find CookWise a revelation. Different people will use <i>CookWise</i> in different ways:</p><ul><li><b>Home cooks</b> will value <i>CookWise</i> as a collection of extraordinarily good recipes.</li><li><b>The busy chef</b> can use <i>CookWise</i> as a reference book to look up and solve problems. Major headings are shown in the Contents and 42 At-a-Glance summary charts make problem solving quick and easy</li><li><b>Beginning cooks</b> can use <i>CookWise</i> as a howto book with easy-to-follow recipes that produce dishes looking and tasting like the work of an experienced chef.</li><li><b>Food writers and test-kitchen chefs</b> who are developing recipes can find the formulas and tips for successful recipes,</li><li><b>Anyone who wants to improve a recipe</b> can use <i>CookWise</i> as a guide. Here is how to make cakes moister, a pate A choux drier and crisper, a dish lighter or darker in color; how to make muffins peak better, cookies spread less, or a roast chicken juicier.</li><li><b>Everyone who cooks</b> needs to be able to spot bad recipes and save the time, money, and frustration that they cause. Many of the At-a-Glance charts point out specific problems.</li></ul><p><i>CookWise</i> is not only informative, it's engrossing, and many sections react like a mystery story. The knowledge you gain from its pages will transform you, too, into a food sleuth, an informed and assured cook who can track down why sauces curdle or why the muffins were dry -- a cook who will never prepare a failed recipe again!</p> | *$14.63 |

 | The Wild Vine: A Forgotten Grape and the Untold Story of American Wine
Brand: Clarkson Potter
A rich romp through untold American history featuring fabulous characters, <i>The Wild Vine</i> is the tale of a little-known American grape that rocked the fine-wine world of the nineteenth century and is poised to do so again today.<br><br><br>Author Todd Kliman sets out on an epic quest to unravel the mystery behind Norton, a grape used to make a Missouri wine that claimed a prestigious gold medal at an international exhibition in Vienna in 1873. At a time when the vineyards of France were being ravaged by phylloxera, this grape seemed to promise a bright future for a truly American brand of wine-making, earthy and wild. And then Norton all but vanished. What happened?<br>Â Â Â Â The narrative begins more than a hundred years before California wines were thought to have put America on the map as a wine-making nation and weaves together the lives of a fascinating cast of renegades. We encounter the suicidal Dr. Daniel Norton, tinkering in his experimental garden in 1820s Richmond, Virginia. Half on purpose and half by chance, he creates a hybrid grape that can withstand the harsh New World climate and produce good, drinkable wine, thus succeeding where so many others had failed so fantastically before, from the Jamestown colonists to Thomas Jefferson himself. Thanks to an influential Long Island, New York, seed catalog, the grape moves west, where it is picked up in Missouri by German immigrants who craft the historic 1873 bottling. Prohibition sees these vineyards burned to the ground by government order, but bootleggers keep the grape alive in hidden backwoods plots. Generations later, retired Air Force pilot Dennis Horton, who grew up playing in the abandoned wine caves of the very winery that produced the 1873 Norton, brings cuttings of the grape back home to Virginia. Here, dot-com-millionaire-turned-vintner Jenni McCloud, on an improbable journey of her own, becomes Nortonâs ultimate champion, deciding, against all odds, to stake her entire reputation on the outsider grape.<br>Â Â Â Â Brilliant and provocative, <i>The Wild Vine</i> shares with readers a great American secret, resuscitating the Norton grape and its elusive, inky drink and forever changing the way we look at wine, America, and long-cherished notions of identity and reinvention. | *$14.50 |

Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her <i>pavé au poivre, </i>the steak's<i></i>pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? LUNCH IN PARIS is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs--one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine. Packing her bags for a new life in the world's most romantic city, Elizabeth is plunged into a world of bustling open-air markets, hipster bistros, and size 2 <i>femmes fatales</i>. She learns to gut her first fish (with a little help from Jane Austen), soothe pangs of homesickness (with the rise of a chocolate soufflé) and develops a crush on her local butcher (who bears a striking resemblance to Matt Dillon). Elizabeth finds that the deeper she immerses herself in the world of French cuisine, the more Paris itself begins to translate. French culture, she discovers, is not unlike a well-ripened cheese-there may be a crusty exterior, until you cut through to the melting, piquant heart.<br><br>Peppered with mouth-watering recipes for summer ratatouille, swordfish <i>tartare </i>and molten chocolate cakes, <i>Lunch in Paris</i> is a story of falling in love, redefining success and discovering what it truly means to be at home. In the delicious tradition of memoirs like <i>A Year in Provence</i> and <i>Under the Tuscan Sun,</i> this book is the perfect treat for anyone who has dreamed that lunch in Paris could change their life. | *$14.14 |
