An authentic culinary journey-part memoir, part cookbook-introducing readers to the people, places, and food of Umbria Veteran food critic Suzanne Carriero spent a year and a half in Umbria, and this is her intimate look at its ancient recipes, traditions, and the people who pass them on. Each of the book's eight chapters features local cooks, as their personal stories are as much a part of the cuisine's essence as are the crops they grow and the family dishes they prepare. Anecdotes, sidebars, and boxes are used throughout the book to further illustrate Umbrian life-from buying a rabbit in the country, to making torta di Pasqua for Easter, to reading the Italian wine label, and drinking cappuccino after lunch (a serious breach in tradition). With a food and wine glossary included as a reference for travelers, The Dog Who Ate the Truffle immerses the reader in the people, cuisine, and lifestyle that few are privileged to experience. Suzanne's colorful stories and authentic classic recipes make for an intimate and illustrious travel cookbook.

This small digital cook book contains Arnie's favorite recipes for 1) Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies 2) Delicious Apple Pie 3) "Nuts & Bolts" Canada's Holiday Treat 4) Orshanka Homestyle White Bread & Buns 5) Arnie's Sunnyvale Pancakes 6) Canadian Spaghetti 7A) Canadian Ice Tea 7B) California Ice Tea. These recipes come from several modern day sources and a little experimentation. All have been tested thoroughly with great success! Many of these recipes have their origins back in the early 1960's and have been passed down from generation to generation. While working on the 3rd Presidential Kids Art Album eBook, "4 Years Success! President Barack Obama & Family", I thought it would be fun to include a little bit of my own family baking history. With the 2009 Christmas holidays rapidly approaching these special family recipes were then shared with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the Kremlin staff, President Barack Obama, his family, and the White House staff. The recipes were greatly appreciated by both the Kremlin (Russian Government) and the White House (American Government) as a gesture of peace and friendship at the holidays. When an American President now travels to Russia on a working visit, he can be sure that a fresh American style apple pie will be waiting for him upon his arrival! Enjoy these delicious family recipes that have been a staple of my life for over 40 years!

The book that cracks the code, from the incomparable Patricia Wells. An acclaimed authority on French cuisine, Ms. Wells has spent more than 30 years in Paris, many as former restaurant critic for The International Herald Tribune. Now her revered Food Lover's Guide to Paris is back in a completely revised, brand-new edition. In 457 entries-345 new to this edition, plus 112 revisited and reviewed classics-The Food Lover's Guide to Paris offers an elegantly written go-to guide to the very best restaurants, cafés, wine bars, and bistros in Paris, as well as where to find the flakiest croissants, earthiest charcuteries, sublimest cheese, most ethereal macarons, and impeccable outdoor markets. The genius of the book is Ms. Wells's meritocratic spirit. Whether you're looking for a before-you-die Michelin three-star experience (Guy Savoy, perhaps, or Restaurant Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée) or wanting to sample the new bistronomy (Bistrot Paul Bert, Le Comptoir du Relais) or craving something simple and perfect (L'As du Fallafel, or Breizh Café for crêpes), Patricia Wells tells you exactly where to go and why you should go there. You no longer have to rely on the iffy "reviews" of Yelp or Trip Advisor. Included are 40 recipes from some of her favorite chefs and purveyors and, of course, all the practical information: addresses, websites, email, hours, closest métro stop, specialties, and more.

Fairfield County stakes a claim to some of Connecticut's most diverse terrain, an enviable proximity to New York City, and a discerning community of food lovers driving the demand for a vibrant dining scene. The Gold Coast boasts some of the country's toniest neighborhoods, such as Greenwich and Southport, as well as the state's largest cities, including the historic port city of Norwalk, the corporate-minded Stamford, and the diverse Bridgeport. Fine dining, dense downtown dining districts, and neighborhood bodegas are equally at home along this dense and diverse corridor. Along Fairfield County's suburban center are such towns as Ridgefield, New Canaan, and Westport, whose historic Main Streets and cultural landmarks draw a family-oriented population. As a result, reclaimed taverns, farmers' markets, and upscale dining districts scattered with family-friendly options abound. At the landlocked northern fringes, quiet enclaves such as Easton, Wilton, and Newtown have large swaths of protected and undeveloped land, as well as bountiful farmland and a handful of farm-to-table restaurants. With recipes for the home cook from over fifty of the area's most celebrated restaurants and showcasing over 200 full-color photos featuring mouth-watering dishes, famous chefs, and lots of local flavor, Fairfield County Chef's Table is the ultimate gift and keepsake cookbook for both tourists and locals.
