› Find signed collectible books: 'The Best Vegetarian Recipes: From Greens to Grains, from Soups to Salads 200 Bold-Flavored Recipes'
The key to successful vegetarian cooking is blending intriguing flavors and interesting textures with balanced nutrition. Don't worry about the absence of meat--you'll never miss it with these flavorful recipes. With over 20 cookbooks to her name, Martha Rose Shulman really does know the best vegetarian recipes. "A good recipe ... is one that both a beginner and a seasoned cook can follow with consistent results," says Shulman. "And those results must be enticing, pleasing to the palate, with familiar but evocative flavors."
An introduction to vegetarian cooking, instructions on how to follow a recipe, and a list for the well-stocked pantry lead into the chapters "Spreads, Dips, and Condiments," "Salads, Soups, Eggs, and Cheese," "Grains and Beans," "Pasta and Pizza," "Vegetable Side Dishes, "Stews, Stir-Fries, and Gratins," "Tofu," and "Desserts." Start with a Spicy Red Pepper Spread on crostini followed by an Arugula, Pear, and Walnut Salad. For the main dish, serve Farfalle with Asparagus or maybe Pizza with Summer Squash, Goat Cheese, and Herbs. Round out the meal with Citrus and Date Gratin or the light Lemon Sorbetto.
The recipes in The Best Vegetarian Recipes are clear and easy to follow, plus Shulman tells you how far in advance you can prepare them and how long they will keep in the fridge. She uses ingredients you probably already have in your pantry but maybe haven't tried together (Mashed Potatoes with Kale). Vegetarian or not, this would be a great addition to any cook's kitchen. --Dana Van Nest [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Biba's Taste of Italy: Recipes from the Homes, Trattorie, and Restaurants of Emilia-Romagna'
It's been more than 40 years since Biba Caggiano came to America from her home in northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region, and she still yearns for the luscious food that has earned the region a coveted spot on the culinary map. Long an accomplished author, television cooking-show host, and restaurateur, Caggiano still finds a constant source of inspiration in the cooking of her homeland--from the rich stuffed pasta dishes and complex ragus of Emilia to the simple grilled fish dishes and lusty brodettos (seafood stews) of Romagna.
Biba's Taste of Italy is a fascinating culinary tour of Caggiano's beloved region. In chapters on every course from antipasti to dolci, Caggiano introduces readers to the succulent dishes of the area and paints a vivid portrait of both the food and the people. Her salty-sweet Eggplant Parmigiano stars the region's own Parma ham and Bolognese sausage; Seafood Risotto recalls the irresistible bounty of the Adriatic sea that laps the shores of Romagna; and the trademark of Emilia-Romagna cooking--stuffed pasta--appears frequently in dishes like Squash Ravioli with Squab Ragu and Balsamic Vinegar and Cannelloni with Meat Stuffing
In the spirit of the region's small villages, Caggiano offers recipes for unassuming dishes like Roasted, Marinated, and Skewered Eel, in which the delicately sweet flavor of this unusual fish is expertly balanced with the simple yet robust flavors of extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, fresh sage, and pancetta. Roasted Stuffed Breast of Veal is a truly classic Emilian dish, and Caggiano's version--stuffed with a mixture of sautéed vegetables, Parmigiano, nutmeg, and eggs, then roasted golden brown with a crisp crust--is among the most delectable. Desserts run the gamut from the light, delicious Chestnut-Ricotta Fritters to the dense, sweet Honey-Walnut-Raisin Pie to a refreshing Strawberry Gelato.
The clear, easy-to-follow instructions accompanying each recipe make the book a joy to cook from and the beautiful page design makes it a pleasure to peruse. A brief chapter on the wines of the region and another on Where to Eat in Emilia-Romagna make the book complete. --Robin Donovan [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Chinese Kitchen: Recipes, Techniques, Ingredients, History, and Memories from America's Leading Authority on Chinese Cooking'
In this unique book, Eileen Yin-Fei Lo delves richly into Chinese cuisine, reflecting in its complexity the nation's culture, history, geographic diversity, and philosophies of health and living. Regardless of how many Chinese cookbooks you already own, The Chinese Kitchen is sure to bring you new information and recipes. And no one else can offer the intriguing family recipes she includes, such as her mother's lean, steamed loin of pork marinated in ginger juice and oyster sauce.
Lo grew up in Canton (now Guangzhou). Her stories about her visits with Ah Paw, her maternal grandmother, become lessons she shares with us. Lo learned about cooking and received much wisdom from this sparrow of a woman, whose feet were bound, in the old way, when she was a child, to keep them four inches long, but who fiercely brought her daughter and granddaughter into modern times. She also taught Lo about Confucius and the ancient traditions such as the Seven Necessities of rice, tea, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and firewood.
When Lo talks about ingredients in the "Chinese Larder" chapter, she provides Chinese characters in the margin that can be photocopied so you can show them at stores to be sure you get the right ingredients. Familiar recipes in The Chinese Kitchen, from Orange Beef to Moo Shu Pork, are followed by more exotic choices such as Shrimp Stir-Fried with Garlic Cloves and Hakka Bean Curd, stuffed with dried shrimp and lightly fried. An entire chapter is devoted to Buddha Jump over the Wall, a kind of a Chinese Babette's Feast. This special recipe from the Fuzhou region requires two days to make and calls for 28 ingredients, mercifully not including the fish lips, duck gizzards and other items used in the true Fuzhou version but which Westerners generally shun. This robust, country dish, combining chicken, duck, ham, and lamb in a kind of pot-au-feu, is so alluring that supposedly the Buddha himself, a vegetarian, could not resist it. It provides insight into Chinese cooking at its most complex.
Fans of Chinese tea will delight in the chapter devoted to this revered beverage. For everyone, simply reading The Chinese Kitchen will enhance enormously the pleasure of dining out in Chinese restaurants. --Dana Jacobi [via]

Martha Rose Shulman is famous for her supper clubs, where she entertains up to 25 paying guests at a time in her apartment in Paris. But, as she points out, if she has even one guest for dinner (and he's not trying to sell her something), she's entertaining. An enthusiastic advocate for healthy eating, Shulman describes her attitude towards entertaining as "light on the pocketbook as well as the arteries."
With years of catering, teaching, and grand-scale entertaining behind her, Shulman is the perfect person to turn to when you have company coming. The key, as she explains in her introduction, is organization. Every recipe includes an Advanced Preparation note, in which she describes what part of it can be made ahead and when. And her instructions are so precise--down to the number of minutes to sauté the first ingredient before adding the second and how many minutes to do this before your guests arrive--that you'll always feel confident that you are prepared. The first section of the book is dedicated to hors d'oeuvres, and it begins with a list of "aperitifs," basically a terrific list of recommended wines for pouring while your guests are nibbling. To keep the party moving, Shulman suggests that all hors d'oeuvres should be able to be eaten with one hand. The almost 50 recipes that follow ensure that your guests will never need to put down their drinks. And with recipes such as Spicy Zucchini Purée on Red Pepper Pieces, Tuna or Salmon and Horseradish Tartare, and Crackers with Goat Cheese Spread and Sun-Dried Tomatoes, your guests won't know that they're watching their fat and calories.
Shulman follows generally accepted healthful guidelines, but notes that this is not a diet cookbook. Rather, she keeps fat to a minimum--with the emphasis on flavor--avoids rich meats, and serves a lot of fish and fresh vegetables. Her menus are well-rounded and there's no chance that anyone will leave hungry. Some of her menus are more elaborate, such as An Elegant April Sit-Down Dinner, which starts with a Pinot d'Alsace, then Dried Porcini Soup with Tarragon Bruschette, followed by Asparagus and Herb Lasagne, Savory Baked Tomatoes, and Simple Salad of Arugula and Lamb's Lettuce. For dessert, there's Rhubarb, Honey, and Blood Orange Sorbet and a bottle of Tokay Pinot Gris d'Alsace. For those of us easily intimidated, she has wonderful, friendly menus such as A Simple Menu for Friends, which starts with a Piperade au Basilic (a Provençal dish of peppers, onions, eggs, garlic, and basil) and Christine's Baked New Potatoes, followed by a Tossed Green Salad (with a wide array of vinaigrettes to choose from), and then Apricot Tart for dessert. Whatever your occasion, Shulman has a menu for you that will leave both you and your guests smiling. --Leora Y. Bloom [via]

Are we what we eat? What does food reveal about how we live and how we think of ourselves in relation to others? Why do people have a strong attachment to their own cuisine and an aversion to the foodways of others? In this engaging account of the crucial significance rice has for the Japanese, Rice as Self examines how people use the metaphor of a principal food in conceptualizing themselves in relation to other peoples. Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney traces the changing contours that the Japanese notion of the self has taken as different historical Others--whether Chinese or Westerner--have emerged, and shows how rice and rice paddies have served as the vehicle for this deliberation. Using Japan as an example, she proposes a new cross-cultural model for the interpretation of the self and other.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Runaway Rice Cake'
Although they have rice flour enough for only one nián-gäo--the Chinese New Year's rice cake--the Chang family is determined to make the best of their holiday treat. But when Momma takes the cake out of the steamer, "something incredible happened--the rice cake came alive!" Stunned, the Changs watch as it pops out of the pan and rolls right out of their kitchen, crying, "Ai yo! I don't think so!" Much like the family in the traditional classic, The Gingerbread Boy, the Changs chase that pastry all through the village, but it eludes them every step--until it runs smack into an old woman. Generous Da, the youngest son, upon discovering that this woman is hungry, too, offers to share the nián-gäo. This leaves nothing for the Chang family's New Year's feast, but their kind-hearted deed reaps them benefits they never imagined from the approving Kitchen God.
Ying Chang Compestine's tale of compassion and generosity teaches a valuable, perennially fresh message. Tungwai Chau's acrylic paintings of the family celebrating their most important holiday are rich with details of traditional Chinese life. A note about the Chinese New Year includes recipes for nián-gäo, the good-luck cake that is said to bring safety and fortune to the entire family all year long. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter [via]
