Download or read book The Frittata Affair written by Judy Pochini and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When former Sunset Magazine trade publications editor Judy Thompson Hay married chef-trained Bob Pochini and started collaborating with him on four-star quality dinner parties for their family and friends, she realized she had a story on her hands. As a scion of a venerated tradition of restauranteurs, Bob not only could prepare the noteworthy cuisine offered at Pochini's Restaurant for 37 years, he could fuse the concepts of "old-country" Italian dishes with the cutting-edge cuisine and ingredients available in San Francisco, Northern California's gourmet capitol. Early on, Judy started recording the menus of special occasion luncheons and dinners to which she and Bob treated their guests. She understudied Bob as sous chef and began to learn the secrets and techniques of his cuisine. But her perfectionist husband jealously guarded his hard-earned culinary knowledge. Even his children had to show proper humility before he would share his inside information, literally gained by sitting at the feet of his father, the talented and creative Chef Leo. Gaining admittance to Bob's kitchen was a rare privilege. And he definitely did not give away his recipes. After all, one never knew what liberties an untrained recipient might take. That this travesty of preparation could happen came home to him when he shared just one family secret, the frittata recipe. Read about it in Living From Bite to Bite / The Frittata Affair, the keynote chapter of this book. When Bob was diagnosed with inoperable cancer he gave Judy permission to reveal some of the secrets of the Pochini's signature cuisine and their approach to Four-Star Dining at Home. This book with its stories and its presentation of the cuisine carries as well the underlying thread of gentle and loving collaboration between trained chef Bob and sous chef Judy as they presented their many festive dinners. Buon Appetito!

Download or read book Gloriously Gluten Free written by Annie Kaszina and published by The Endless Bookcase Ltd. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gloriously Gluten Free” by Annie Kaszina is a cook book full of gluten free recipes, perfect for anyone who wants to have a gluten free diet. “Gloriously Gluten Free” came about by chance as a result of a conversation with Gina Gardiner. Annie, an omnivore, had expected gluten-free eating to be a hardship and was surprised to find how much better she felt. She now believes that cutting out the automatic reliance on wheat products, creates the opportunity to develop a healthier, more nutritionally balanced diet. What the reviwers said... “Wow! I couldn’t taste the difference! And that Missisippi Mud Cake…I’d buy the cookbook just for that! What a fantastic taste-I could eat that every day.” Mia Kalyvides “I made an entire gluten free meal, and I was blown away. It tasted so good, and I couldn’t believe it was gluten free. The cakes, cookies- you would never have known they were gluten free at all. Well done and thank you Annie and Gina! I’m so grateful to have this resource, at last!” Cass. Cheung “The food was appetising and filling yet light in texture the chicken is succulent. You could really taste the ingredient with each mouthful” “The steamed fish just melts on the palate and was beautifully complemented by simple ingredients that enhance its natural flavour – they brought out the flavour and added a further ‘dimension’ to it “The coconut pie is sweet enough to satisfy any dessert lover’s palate and deliciously moreish without overpowering the senses. You could really distinguish the coconut in a ‘pure’ sense and it was deliciously ‘moreish’.” Farah Farahi “The chocolate cake was divine and had the balance of soft and melting with crusty for a satisfying bite just right. Not overpoweringly sweet and light to digest”. Overall, the best thing about the dishes these recipesproduce is that they fill you in a satisfying manner whilst not overpowering each other – you could reallyenjoy each. No bloated feeling or discomfort so, for once, you really can have your cake and eat it!!”. Rosha Khan “I anticipated gluten free food would be tasteless, heavy on the stomach and wholly unappetising or certainly several notches down from the artificially flavoursome nature of processed foods. In the event, I was pleasantly surprised by how good these recipes taste. They were light, truly packed with natural flavours, very satisfying on the palate and deliciously more-ish.” Shahnaz Farid

Book excerpt: Sanjana Feasts is a collection of dazzling recipes of modern Indian diaspora vegetarian and vegan food. Sanjana Modha’s flavourful and vibrant recipes are rooted in her Indian heritage, East African family background, and Yorkshire childhood. This book showcases the varied ingredients and unique combinations that are authentic to Sanjana’s upbringing, and includes signature dishes such as Ruffled Biryani, Madras Mac and Cheese with Naan Crumbs, Desi-inspired French Bread Pizza and Sticky Toffee Gulab Jamun, as well as delicious Indian classics. Over the last few years Sanjana has seen a visible shift in the Western understanding of what Indian food is. It’s gone from curry-house creations, to an exploration of regional food, to fusion cuisine and more recently, an appreciation of street food and casual dining. Today, Indian food is a cacophony of all these elements and more, and Sanjana is forging yet another new direction with the food of diasporic communities, and the flavours of a new generation. Sanjana Feasts will inspire you both to incorporate these delicious recipes into your everyday cooking, and to raise your game in the kitchen with her tips for the classics.

Download or read book Fast Fresh and Unbelievably Delicious written by Matt Preston and published by Plum. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My new cookbook is full of recipes for stuff that is quite simply delicious, and that I cook for my family and friends. It's a wee bit different from my first book in that the dishes are fresher, lighter, healthier... Well, that was the idea. I then suggested all those naughty, over-the-top dishes that I also love. These had to go into a sealed section because, like a Bangkok nightclub act, they are just a little too full-on for the delicate stomachs of some, and for the good of your health. That section is sealed for your own safety. Please resist opening it if you are a helpless slave to your passions. In short, this book is like me. It starts out with REALLY GOOD intentions for a while until it is overwhelmed by temptation and then, quite frankly, once self-control is gone it turns into a bit of an orgiastic free-for-all. Good times! Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, my friends, please grab a fork. Matt Preston This is a specially formatted fixed layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.
