Barefoot Contessa at Home: Everyday Recipes You'll Make Over and Over Again

REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 08/21/2006

Garten's fifth cookbook (afterBarefoot in Paris ) follows her surefire formula: uncomplicated but elegant recipes for the home cook whose priority is spending time with friends and family, not in the kitchen. From breakfast to dessert, the Food Network star organizes this volume by meal, with an easy-to-navigate recipe list at the top of each section. Many entries provide a creative alternative to the basics: the Summer Borscht-which calls for fresh beets, cucumber and chicken stock-will make a cool, flavorful substitute for the predictable bowl of gazpacho, and the mayonnaise-based Jon Snow's Fish Salad-freshly roasted white fish filets (e.g., halibut) distinguished by the addition of diced fennel-will supersede tuna salad. But some of Garten's "feel-good" foods barely warrant inclusion-her recipe for Sunday Morning Oatmeal barely elevates the instructions on the Quaker canister. If not always inventive, these recipes (e.g., Cornish Hens with Cornbread Stuffing) should be reliable for seasoned but time-pressed or ambitious but inexperienced cooks. Striking a warm, personal tone, Garten also includes advice on designing a kitchen, making a grocery list, planning a menu and where to shop and dine in the Hamptons.(Nov.)

The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook

Every year, millions of people visit Colonial Williamsburg's re-creation of eighteenth-century America for the ambience, the education, and the unparalleled experience of glimpsing our prerevolutionary past.

Williamsburg's fascinating form of time travel encompasses not only the architecture and the artisans, but all the details of our rich cultural heritage, including the food. And "The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook presents that food, our nation's culinary heritage: from stews and slaws and soups to puddings and pies and pot pies--nearly 200 recipes in all. Focusing on Williamsburg's Southern roots and coastal proximity, the dishes owe their inspiration to the distant past, but their preparations have been tailored for contemporary palates--no need to run out and get some suet in which to cook your mutton over the open hearth.

Here are perennial standbys such as Brunswick Stew, Standing Rib Roast with Yorkshire Pudding, Virginia Ham with Brandied Peaches, and Cream of Peanut Soup, as well as Spoon Bread, Lemon Chess Pie, and Mulled Apple Cider. There are also unexpected twists on age-old favorites, such as Oyster Po' Boys with Tarragon Mayonnaise, Oven-Braised Gingered Pot Roast, and Carrot Pudding Spiced with Cardamom.

Just as the historic town of Colonial Williamsburg is a singular adventure in understanding our nation's history, so too this cookbook is a unique appreciation of our culinary history. In April 1772, George Washington, writing about one of the taverns in Williamsburg, noted, "Dined at Mrs. Campbells and went to the Play--then to Mrs. Campbells again" --twice in a single week. The hearty fare that Georgefound so enticing is enjoying a profound renaissance, and "The Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook will enable home cooks to relive the great American culinary tradition--the ultimate in comfort food.

REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 02/12/2001

John R. Gonzales, former executive chef of the four operating taverns at Colonial Williamsburg, and food editor Charles Pierce offer a winning companion to the Williamsburg Cookbook, which has sold a million copies since it was published in 1971. Their Colonial Williamsburg Tavern Cookbook presents nearly 200 recipes including vegetarian dishes based on America's Southern and coastal 18th-century culinary heritage, updated for the modern cook. Clearly explained recipes (from appetizers to ice creams) sit alongside glimpses of history, offering a perfect gift for the reader or cook inspired to re-create a taste of America's past. 70 color photos.

01/01/1996 REVIEW: School Library Journal

Gr 4-6--This recounting of the Pilgrims' first 15 months in the New Land is based on the text of Mourt's Relation and William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. Language has been modernized for contemporary readers. Retaining the primary sources' journal format, the Roops have chosen excerpts that show the major events of the time and give a sense of the struggles and details of day-to-day existence--finding food, building shelter, burying the dead. The narrative tone is understated. Some readers may find the selections featuring the settlers' relationship with the Indians to be overly positive. Interactions are shown to be generally cooperative and peaceful, especially those with Squanto and Samoset. Passages are included, however, that show the Pilgrims' desire to have ``the savages' fear them. Overall, this slim volume is successful at creating a human sense of history beyond facts and timelines. Rich, multi-hued paintings have a folkart quality. Although somewhat static, they adequately illustrate the narrative. Marcia Sewall's The Pilgrims of Plimoth (Atheneum, 1986) and Gary Bowen's One Year at Plimoth Plantation 1626 (HarperCollins, 1994) are similar titles for a slightly younger audience.--Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI
