Download or read book Hotbox written by Matt Lee and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2019-04-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matt Lee and Ted Lee take on the competitive, wild world of high-end catering, exposing the secrets of a food business few home cooks or restaurant chefs ever experience. Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Known for their modern take on Southern cooking, the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside-out. It’s a realm where you find eccentric characters, working in extreme conditions, who must produce magical events and instantly adapt when, for instance, the host’s toast runs a half-hour too long, a hail storm erupts, or a rolling rack of hundreds of ice cream desserts goes wheels-up. Whether they’re dashing through black-tie fundraisers, celebrity-spotting at a Hamptons cookout, or following a silverware crew at 3:00 a.m. in a warehouse in New Jersey, the Lee brothers guide you on a romp from the inner circle—the elite team of chefs using little more than their wits and Sterno to turn out lamb shanks for eight hundred—to the outer reaches of the industries that facilitate the most dazzling galas. You’ll never attend a party—or entertain on your own—in the same way after reading this book.

Download or read book Dishing with Style written by Rori Trovato and published by Three Rivers Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you can combine great taste with beautiful presentation, well, that's when you captivate family and guests. And coming up with creative and clever styling and entertaining ideas as well as delicious food is what Rori Trovato has been doing in the pages of national magazines for years. Now she shares her secrets in DISHING WITH STYLE. The basic conceit of the book is so simple: share a great recipe and show two different ways of presenting it But it's the execu- tion that counts and Rori's ideas are just delightful. She starts with drinks (isn't the cocktail party the most basic form of enter- taining?) and offers a host of ideas. The dusting of cinnamon on those chubby marshmallows in the hot chocolate does make a difference in appearance, but why not go elegant, and serve cocoa in an oversized brandy snifter on a Tiffany blue napkin and truly delight your guests? Limeade in a glass? Sure, but why not in hollowed-out lime shells, set into a bed of ice? Rori takes us through hors d'oeuvre, starters and first courses, main courses, side dishes, and desserts, offering spectacular ideas all along the way. Delicious salads that look equally beautiful plated or presented family style. Butter-roasted chicken is presented classically, heaped with herbs and vegetables to be carved at table, but Rori then shows readers how to adapt the recipe to game hens a forest of little legs and wings that guests can help themselves to. DISHING WITH STYLE is packed with secrets that only a stylist can share. How do you get that neat mound of spaghetti in the center of the plate? What's the best way to get clean wedges of cheesecake onto a dessert plate? How do you choose fruits and herbs and vegetables to make your food look as good as that in a magazine. Rori answers all this and more.

And when she chokes to death from arsenic poisoning after dousing her main course in hot sauce, Tish suddenly finds herself fighting to save her business – and her reputation.
