BowlFood Cookbook

People love bowl food. Bowl food is comfort food. It's soup for supper, or a hearty stew or creamy risotto. Bowl food is everything together--no segregated blue plate special with the meat here and the starch there and the vegetable over there, but all of it intermingling in a delicious matrix of taste and texture. Bowl food is eating your whole dinner with a spoon or chopsticks. It's casual, fun, and somehow it just tastes better. Lynn Aronson, one of America's "best young chefs" (Esquire), not only adores bowl food but has elevated it to a new level in her celebrated Manhattan restaurants, Lola and Lola Bowla. Now Ms. Aronson, along with fellow-chef and Lola Bowla alumna Elizabeth Simon, translates her vision of bowl food into a passionate cookbook with 200 dazzling, eclectic recipes. Bucking tradition and borrowing freely from cuisines East and West, BOWLFOOD COOKBOOK presents Soups and Stews: Lamb with Orzo and Curry Broth, Stewed Short Ribs, Thai Paella. Noodles and Pasta: Penne with Zucchini and Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette, Corn and Crab Tagliatelle, Peanut Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp, Capellini with Clams and Lobster Broth. Salads, Legumes, and Grains: Seared Steak Salad with Roasted Tomatoes, Braised Duck Risotto with Spicy Ginger Broth. Plus dumplings, desserts, sauces, broths--a boundlessly inventive world of food, and it all goes in a bowl.

Since 1978, when the first of its country markets opened in Westport, Connecticut, Hay Day has been a celebrated purveyor of the finest farmstand produce, breads, pastries, cheeses, comestibles, provisions, and take-out fare. Twenty years later, after having helped shape America's culinary revolution, Hay Day presents 250 of the recipes that keep its customers coming back again and again. Reflecting its passion for quality, freshness, inventiveness, and character, The Hay Day Country Market Cookbook mirrors the way the country cooks and eats today. It's not about trends or gimmicks, but about ingredients and a love for sound, deep, palate-pleasing flavor. About the delicious simplicity of Veal Chops in Mustard Sauce, the tangy surprise of Lemon Chevre Chicken, the perfection of the perfect Maryland Crab Cake. It's about the sophisticated--Wilted Radicchio with Gorgonzola and Walnuts--and the down-to-earth--Chunky Tomato and Bacon Soup. And it's about the integrity of cooking in concert with the seasons--New Potatoes and Fiddlehead Ferns in spring, Grilled Duck with Citrus Cherry Relish in summer, Wild Rice and Cranberries in fall, Rosy Root Vegetable Chili for the dead of winter. Now even without a Hay Day in town, you can still get the best market-based, seasonal dishes around.

A collection of over 140 recipes, steak lover's cookbook is divided between fancy uptown cuts (e.g., tenderloins, porterhouses, ribs) and the plainer but just as tasty downtown cuts (skirt, chuck, flank, round).

"He used coupons to pay for our anniversary dinner."-Dolly, New York, NY. "He truly believes there's no such thing as a bad pun."-Eleanor, New Haven, CT. "Every night, settling in, he grunts. I lie there waiting for him to quiet down. He sighs a long sigh and groans the same predictable words every single night. "Oh, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed. Oh, bed, bed, bed, bed, bed. Oh, bed, bed, bed"-Ellen, Cleveland, OH. Move over Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Dr. Ruth. Forget clich,s about toilet seats and the TV remote.

It's a country that boasts more three-star restaurants per capita than any other nation-including France. It's a country where home cooks--and everyone, it seems, is a great home cook--spend copious amounts of time thinking about, shopping for, preparing, discussing, and celebrating food. With its French foundation, hearty influences from Germany and Holland, herbs straight out of a Medieval garden, and condiments and spices from the height of Flemish culture, Belgian cuisine is elegant comfort food at its best--slow-cooked, honest, bourgeois, nostalgic. It's the Sunday meal and a continental dinner party, family picnics and that antidote to a winter's day. In 250 delicious recipes, here is the best of Belgian cuisine. Veal Stew with Dumplings, Mushrooms, and Carrots. Potato and Leek Stoemp. Smoked Trout Mousse with Watercress Sauce. Braised Partridge with Cabbage and Abbey Beer. Gratin of Belgian Endives. Flemish Carrot Soup. Steak-Frites. Belgian Steamed Mussels. Belgian Steamed Mussels. Cognac Scented Flemish Waffles. And desserts, some using the best chocolate on earth: Belgian Chocolate Ganache Tart, Lace Cookies from Brugge, Almond Cake with Fresh Fruit Topping, Little Chocolate Nut Cakes. As Belgians explain it, since one has to eat three times a day, why not make a feast of every meal? 57,000 copies in print.

Kids and pizza-it's an irresistible combination. And now for all kids comes the king of pizza, a magical story about the world's favorite food that marries a full-color illustrated storybook with a kid-size pizza plate, all piping hot and ready to be displayed in a custom-designed white pizza box.

Until, disguised as a beggar, he sneaks out of his palace and discovers Salvatore's Pizzeria. Mixing legend and fantasy, fun and food, Sylvester Sanzari weaves a classic tale of a King, a baker, a pizza and seven orphans-and a story about discovering and sharing the simple things in life. Accompanying the storybook is an unbreakable and dish-washer safe pizza plate printed in four-color. The white corrugated pizza box is die-cut to reveal the book cover and the plate within. It's one with everything.88,000 copies in print. Illustrations by John E. Hurst.
