Temptation Cook Book From Anaheim White House Restaurant
If you’re frequent goers to the Anaheim White House Restaurant or fancy checking out the eclectic cuisine of this highly famed restaurant, then you probably won’t expect what owner and restaurateur Bruno Serato would come up with next. And indeed, his Temptation at the White House cook book startled many, but in a good way, as it comes out to be one of the most unique Italian cook books you’ve ever laid your hands – and eyes – on!
He did showcase a part of what’s in store on his 136-paged cook book during the release party wherein half-naked men clad the scene to raise the level of heat the food was already bringing to the scene. There is probably no other chef in the world who can achieve such prowess for food and sensuality, thinking these two adjectives are entirely on a different plane.
Flipping through the pages of the cook book, you will be treated to Bruno’s own masterpieces of delectable Italian dishes that were mostly not featured yet on his famed Anaheim White House Restaurant. Hence, those who’ve frequented his restaurants near Disneyland will have some more reasons to purchase this Italian cook book when it hits store shelves. After all, food is at the very heart of where Bruno Serato’s passion lies. But he wanted to make it so that this cook book will serve as a tool for individuals to sample his own masterpieces right at their very own home without having to drive over to Anaheim for that.
Whether you enjoy the view of sexy male models gracing almost every page on this book, he has artistically done so in such a way that the recipes offered in this cook book will suit your varying moods, whether you’re in for some Italian pasta recipes, sea foods, or gourmet recipes. Checking out those photos just provide an added incentive of slaving away at the kitchen! And with Bruno Serato as the brain behind this project, you can expect he’d go all out on ensuring that food fanatics will enjoy the recipes he’s prepared specifically for this book.
The idea that inspired the making and conceptualization for Bruno Serato’s Temptation at the White House basically came about in his wish to showcase what his restaurant is about. After 20 years in the business, he’s surely survived longevity test and has proven how the combination of food and sensuality makes up for an entirely satisfactory dining out experience. And with vast majority of the cook book-buying audience being women, Bruno was aware he hit the match by picking out those male models to grace those full-color pages!
Going back to staying true in his business, Bruno Serato tried to inflict a lot of assortment in his Italian food recipe offerings just as it does in his restaurant. You will therefore get lots of pasta choices, ravioli dishes, secret sauces that give life to every dish, salads, and a lot of other excellent meals to suit whatever your mood is for the day. With such wonderful dishes lined up for you while presented in erotic cook book goodness, Temptation at the White House is surely one of your best kitchen companions!

50 Chowders: One Pot Meals – Clam, Corn, & Beyond By: Jasper White $30 <P>When most of us think of chowder, New England-style fish or clam chowder is what comes to mind, but they are only two of the dozens of home-style chowders you can make from this book. Once you discover the diversity of ingredients you can cook into a chowder and see the scope of styles and colors open to you, you will wonder how we ever came to think there were only one or two chowders in the world.<P>Authentic chowder is characterized by generous chunks of local seasonal ingredients served in a moderate amount of broth. Another basic characteristic of chowder is its ease of preparation — even chowders that take more than an hour to make don’t require anything more than keeping an eye on the pot. A big pot of chowder is perfect for a large gathering of family and friends, and because chowder truly is best when made ahead, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your company.<P><I>50 Chowders</I> is the first hardcover cookbook to explore the many interpretations of chowders. On the familiar side, you will find a recipe for Corn Chowder explained with the kind of detail that ensures a sweet, mellow broth, succulent chunks of potatoes, and fresh golden kernels of corn. On the exotic side, there is a recipe for San Francisco Crab “Meatball” Chowder, an exciting dish whose deep and robust flavors make it really quite special. Here are a few of the more than fifty other chowders you will find: Shaker Fresh Cranberry Bean Chowder, Nova Scotia Lobster Chowder, Nantucket Veal Chowder, Pacific Northwest Salmon Chowder, and nine different clam chowders.<P>Among this book’s unique features: A chapter of chowder companion dishes, from Parker House Rolls to Buttermilk Biscuits; more than fifty illustrations of important cooking techniques and chowder ingredients; cook’s notes for each recipe, giving possible substitutions, required equipment, and serving suggestions; a list of reliable mail-order suppliers of seafood and other chowder ingredients.<P>Jasper White brings to <I>50 |

A French Affair: The Paris Beat, 1965-1998 By: Mary Blume $16.99 <P> America and France have always had a special relationship. In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the two have enjoyed a love affair of sorts, with all the love/hate dynamics that suggests. From Benjamin Franklin charming Louis XVI to Jackie Kennedy enchanting Charles de Gaulle, the two peoples have fascinated and repelled each other. Mary Blume has cultivated her own love affair with this often inscrutable land — France. <P> It is an affair that spans more than thirty years, from the time Mary Blume first came to Paris, beginning her renowned columns in the <I>International Herald Tribune</I> with a fine eye for the charms, and no aversion to skewering the pretensions, of her adopted home. As with the best chronicles of a time and a place, the narrator begins to emerge through the text. Only Mary Blume could have written these essays. Hers is a unique voice that has won her a devoted audience who have turned religiously, over decades, to her weekend features. <P> Quintessentially American, she has managed that fine trick of not assimilating, and yet coming to know, in the fullest sense, the place and the people in all their often sublime and sometimes ridiculous complexity. In the pieces themselves, whether she turns her penetrating lens on Frenchemen <I>or</I> their money <I>or</I> their socks, whether a bearded lady or Simone de Beauvoir, street performers or members of the Académie Française, whether the newest chic potato or the eternally chic St. Germain de Prés, whether the events of May ’68 or the last presidential elections, she sees what would pass unseen — were <I>she</I> not there to notice it. <P> In the simplest things, Mary Blume reveals the telling detail. In a piece ostensibly about cooking lessons given by two well-meaning aristocrats, she lays bare the acute French sense of class; in a deadpan explanation of the byzantine process of changing street names, she captures the Kafkaesque French bureaucracy; in looking |

A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table By: Molly Wizenberg $11.99 <p align=”left”> When Molly Wizenberg’s father died of cancer, everyone told her to go easy on herself, to hold off on making any major decisions for a while. But when she tried going back to her apartment in Seattle and returning to graduate school, she knew it wasn’t possible to resume life as though nothing had happened. So she went to Paris, a city that held vivid memories of a childhood trip with her father, of early morning walks on the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter and the taste of her first pain au chocolat. She was supposed to be doing research for her dissertation, but more often, she found herself peering through the windows of chocolate shops, trekking across town to try a new pâtisserie, or tasting cheeses at outdoor markets, until one evening when she sat in the Luxembourg Gardens reading cookbooks until it was too dark to see, she realized that her heart was not in her studies but in the kitchen. </p> <p align=”left”> At first, it wasn’t clear where this epiphany might lead. Like her long letters home describing the details of every meal and market, Molly’s blog Orangette started out merely as a pleasant pastime. But it wasn’t long before her writing and recipes developed an international following. Every week, devoted readers logged on to find out what Molly was cooking, eating, reading, and thinking, and it seemed she had finally found her passion. But the story wasn’t over: one reader in particular, a curly-haired, food-loving composer from New York, found himself enchanted by the redhead in Seattle, and their email correspondence blossomed into a long-distance romance. </p> <p align=”left”> In <i>A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table</i>, Molly Wizenberg recounts a life with the kitchen at its center. From her mother’s pound cake, a staple of summer picnics during her childhood in Oklahoma, to the eggs she cooked for her father during the weeks before his death, food and memories are intimately entwined.

A Stranger in the Family: A Novel of Suspense $10.99 <BR>From Robert Barnard, the internationally acclaimed Diamond Dagger–winning crime writer . . . <P></P>Kit Philipson has always felt like something of a stranger in his family. Growing up as the only child of professional parents in Glasgow, Scotland, he had every advantage. His mother was a teacher; his father, a journalist, escaped from Nazi Germany at the age of three on one of the 1939 Kindertransports. But on her deathbed, Kit’s mother tells him he was adopted and that his birth name was Novello. Soon, vague memories of his early life begin to surface: his nursery, pictures on the wall, the smell of his birth mother when she’d been cooking. And, sometimes, there are more disturbing memories—of strangers taking him by the hand and leading him away from the only family he had ever known. A search of old newspaper files reveals that a three-year-old boy named Peter Novello was abducted from his parents’ holiday hotel in Sicily in 1989. Now the young man who has known himself only as Kit sets out to rediscover his past, the story of two three-year-old boys torn from their mothers in very different circumstances. Kit’s probing inquiries are sure to bring surprises. They may also unearth dangerous secrets that dare never be revealed. <P></P><P>With sharp wit and deep insight, Robert Barnard sweeps away all preconceptions in this powerful study of maternal love and the danger of obsession. </P><BR> |
