Best Sellers for January 2006
1.  Delectable Collectibles Mary
McGrath
2. Jamie's Italy
Jamie Oliver
One of the great delights of this business has been watching the maturation of
Jamie Oliver. In this culinary tour of Italy he celebrates the food which played
a major part in his early career with Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers at the River
Café, with Gennaro Contaldo, with Antonio Carlucci. There are some less
familiar versions of well-known dishes including some particularly seductive
risottos, one with artichoke, another with cauliflower. Not just content to pass
along recipes, Oliver also creates a sense of the place and of the personalities
which have shaped them and perhaps himself. Wonderful photograph of landscapes,
food, and people. Hardcover, 319 pp, $49.95.

6. Bones: Recipes History & Lore
Jennifer McLagan
To gnaw on bones in a world where most meat is sold skinless and boneless in

and tactile experiences which have largely been lost in modern cooking. From
stocks to desserts, from meat and game to fish,these dishes reward all the senses.

alas no plane tickets are included.
