Smoke and Spice: Cooking with Smoke, the Real Way to Barbecueby Cheryl Alters Jamison and Bill Jamison List Price: $16.95 Available from Amazon $11.02 On 7-22-2006
See Item's Page Product Review Barbecue is not about grilling food fast over high heat. That's something else, delicious in its own right, but something else entirely. Barbecue is about marginal cuts of meat (for the most part), about smoke, about fires burning so low and slow you hardly ever see the flicker of a flame. Barbecue is about succulent pork ribs as dark as sin just falling off the bone and dripping with glorious sweet pork godliness. Or enjoying the effects that 12 to 18 hours of smoking has on beef brisket. The trick is, how do you do it? How do you master a cooking technique all but ignored in favor of fast and hot? The answer lies in Smoke & Spice. authors Jamison and Jamison provide all the information you're ever going to need to run a real barbecue. Tips and techniques abound on every page--accompanied with countless recipes that stretch the barbecue imagination. And seeing that one cannot live on barbecue alone (though that's a challenge well worth considering) there are just as many recipes included for all the good food that accompanies barbecue--from Scalloped Green Chile Potatoes to South-of-the-Border Garlic Soup to Buttermilk Onion Rings and even Bourbon Peaches. If smoke in your eyes makes your mouth water, this is the primer for you! --Schuyler Ingle

TV Land--Detroitby Gordon Castelnero List Price: $22.95 Available from Amazon $14.92 On 7-22-2006 
See Item's Page Book Description An in-depth and personal look at the most popular and best-remembered local shows from the golden years of Detroit TV Long before cable, prepackaged syndication, infomercials, do-it-yourselfers, and reality shows cluttered the television dial, there was a brand of entertainment that has today nearly vanished from the airwaves: local TV. And with its colorful and quirky cast of characters, Detroit TV arguably offered some of the best of the best of local programming anywhere in the nation-a smorgasbord of exuberant, one-of-a-kind television shows. Based on actual interviews with the people who made Detroit TV, Gordon Castelnero's TV Land-Detroit awakens the emotional attachment and nostalgia our community has for these shows, bringing the beloved characters and memorable programs back to life. From the glamorous Rita Bell to the insanity of the Ghoul, the zany Jingles in Boofland to the opinionated and often confrontational Lou Gordon and the gruff-voiced and somnolent George Pierrot, Castelnero reacquaints us with the talent and behind-the-scenes people, of the creative spirit in Detroit, and the intimacy they shared with the community both on and off the air. Gordon Castelnero was a producer at WNIC radio for four years. He produced the acclaimed documentaries for WDIV and WTVS, Michigan, It Started Here! Michigan and the American Dream, and Titanic: The Final Chapter. He currently lives in Livonia, Michigan, and works at Technicolor in dvd and game media distribution. He can be contacted by e-mail at tvlanddetroit@yahoo.com |

The Food Lover's Companion to the Napa Valley: Where to Eat, Cook, and Shop in the Wine Country Plus 50 Irresistible Recipesby Lori Lyn Narlock, Lori Lyn, and Michael Carabetta List Price: $19.95 Available from Amazon $12.97 On 7-22-2006
See Item's Page From Publishers Weekly A foreword by Keller of Napa's famed French Laundry restaurant lends instant credibility to this volume, and Narlock, a former chef and food writer living in the Napa Valley who clearly has a deep adoration of the area and its culinary treasures, cements her own credibility as well. Written "as though I were making suggestions for a friend," this volume catalogues the best of Napa, from bakeries, beverages and burgers to sushi, tableware and taquerias. She also includes a selection of tantalizing seasonal recipes, such as Crostini with Pecorino Pepato, Honey and Orange Zest and Heirloom Tomato Salad with Capers and Golden Balsamic Vinegar. All recipes employ local delicacies, and many come from favorite area restaurants. This could be an enjoyable book to read from cover to cover, as Narlock includes brief anecdotes and quotes in her readable descriptions. But it's best used as a handy reference for those searching for the perfect cheese or a bustling farmer's market. Narlock is in the know about current offerings ("Les Landeck grows the most flavorful arugula I've tasted outside of Rome, and his romaine, when available, will spoil you"-but she will need to update the book regularly or much of the information may become dated. Copyright 2003 Reed business Information, Inc. Book Description This is the first of its kind: an insider's food guide to that gourmand's paradise, the Napa Valley. Author and longtime resident Lori Lyn Narlock goes behind the scenes to discover where chefs shop, the best places to take a cooking class, or where to get a grapeseed oil massage. With complete details on the where, when, how, and how much, plus dozens of artful black-and-white photographs, this indispensible guide for food lovers even includes 50 recipes honoring the region's local specialties. It's a mouthwatering roster of the best that Napa has to offer. |
