Book Description
Excerpt from Our American Hash: A Satire The following racy, warm, piquant, pithy, lofty, sententious, slashing, quaint, discursive, versatile, prosaic pointed periods and rhythmical stanzas, form the discourse of an artist, Quill Chromo, who, one day while he sat sketching in a glen, metes out to us, in prose and metre, his thoughts and feelings as the result of the way by which he sacrificed his dignity to the delectable luxury of Hash. But logically, if it had not been for the miseries of indigestion, self-inflicted by his own mouth, the reader would not have had the pleasure of reading his versified description of feasting on the peculiar substance known as Hash, of which he was so abundantly supplied the first day at his boarding-house in the village of Hashville. The fastidious may say, after reading his remarkable remarks on the repast, that the Hash made him feel a leetle too sensitive in giving vent to his pent-up feelings in such a ludicrous style of satire. The idea may enter the mind of a clergyman who may smile seriously at such a substance as Hash being so animating in its effects as to inspire monologues on the nature and dignity of man, and perhaps, wonder at the same time why it wouldn't answer equally as well as brain food for the production of sermons. The politician may snarl at the impropriety of his allusions to them and their doings, and put him down, not only as an eater of Hash, but also as a political rhinoceros, a trifle too savage, perhaps, and eager to reform abuses in our American political system of government, and wonder at the same time why he has made politics a leading idea through half the satire. But generally the reading public will set him down simply as a conscientious satirist of corrupt national affairs;and many who can forejudge the future of the nation may say: "Although ridicule flows freely throughout his details on Hash, the hero, you will find, is grave and serious enough, giving us information and thoughts upon our social and political condition most worthy to be considered." The proprietors of boarding-houses may want to know what right the author had to hurt their feelings with his impertinent remarks on profitable Hash. Now, to any of his readers who may feel their gastronomies irritated from swallowing the allusions of the subject matter of Hash, herein dished up to them, the author offers them his tender regards as a consoler for their sensibilities being so easily touched at every supposable incident they may fancy refers to them.

The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book

Book Description
“I’m drenched in cream, marinated in wine, basted in cognac, and thoroughly buttered by the end of The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book.” —Eula Biss, New York Times bestselling author of Having and Being Had A beautiful new edition of the classic culinary memoir by Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein’s romantic partner, with a new introduction by beloved culinary voice Ruth Reichl. Restaurant kitchens have long been dominated by men, but, as of late, there has been an explosion of interest in the many women chefs who are revolutionizing the culinary game. And, alongside that interest, an accompanying appetite for smart, well-crafted culinary memoirs by female trailblazers in food. Nearly 70 years earlier, there was Alice. When Alice B. Toklas was asked to write a memoir, she initially refused. Instead, she wrote The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, a sharply written, deliciously rich cookbook memorializing meals and recipes shared by Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wilder, Matisse, and Picasso—and of course by Alice and Gertrude themselves. While The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas—penned by Gertrude Stein—adds vivid detail to Alice’s life, this cookbook paints a richer, more joyous depiction: a celebration of a lifetime in pursuit of culinary delights. In this cookbook, Alice supplies recipes inspired by her travels, accompanied by amusing tales of her and Gertrude’s lives together. In “Murder in the Kitchen,” Alice describes the first carp she killed, after which she immediately lit up a cigarette and waited for the police to come and haul her away; in “Dishes for Artists,” she describes her hunt for the perfect recipe to fit Picasso’s peculiar diet; and, of course, in “Recipes from Friends,” she provides the recipe for “Haschich Fudge,” which she notes may often be accompanied by “ecstatic reveries and extensions of one’s personality on several simultaneous planes.” With a heartwarming introduction from Gourmet’s famed Editor-in-Chief Ruth Reichl, this much-loved, culinary classic is sure to resonate with food lovers and literary folk alike.

Book Description
"American Folklore Scholarship is rich reading, outlining the intellectual genealogy of American folklore and delivering many interesting historical tidbits. Folklore teachers will want to use this book in their introductory theory classes, while doctoral students will want to memorize the book before their qualifying exams." --Folklore Forum "... a welcome overview of the discipline in North America and the practitioners who established it." --American Anthropologist In this classic text, Zumwalt examines the split between literary folklorists and anthropological folklorists. The former looked at literary forms for folklore; the latter looked at the life and unwritten culture of the people. This struggle shaped the study of folklore in the U.S.

Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller Winner of the James Beard Award for General Cooking and the IACP Cookbook of the Year Award "The one book you must have, no matter what you’re planning to cook or where your skill level falls."—New York Times Book Review Ever wondered how to pan-fry a steak with a charred crust and an interior that's perfectly medium-rare from edge to edge when you cut into it? How to make homemade mac 'n' cheese that is as satisfyingly gooey and velvety-smooth as the blue box stuff, but far tastier? How to roast a succulent, moist turkey (forget about brining!)—and use a foolproof method that works every time? As Serious Eats's culinary nerd-in-residence, J. Kenji López-Alt has pondered all these questions and more. In The Food Lab, Kenji focuses on the science behind beloved American dishes, delving into the interactions between heat, energy, and molecules that create great food. Kenji shows that often, conventional methods don’t work that well, and home cooks can achieve far better results using new—but simple—techniques. In hundreds of easy-to-make recipes with over 1,000 full-color images, you will find out how to make foolproof Hollandaise sauce in just two minutes, how to transform one simple tomato sauce into a half dozen dishes, how to make the crispiest, creamiest potato casserole ever conceived, and much more.
