5. 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. Heaven on Earth Project
Michael Stadtlander
A celebration of food and its connection to the earth, Michael Stadtlander's
first book chronicles his summer 2005 Heaven on Earth project, following the
chef and his apprentices from planting to consuming the fruits of their labours.
Colour photos. Hardcover, 97 pp, $90.00.
7. The Silver Spoon
The trick for the team translating this classic Italian book(originally published
in 1950, now in its eighth edition) for English-speaking cooks was to balance
the English tendency to over-explain with the opposite impulse amongst Italians.
While shifting this balance and substituting ingredients where certain products
were unavailable outside of Italy, the team which included Tom Norrington-Davies
has managed to maintain The Silver Spoon’s distinctly
Italian character. Along with its 2000 recipes, this edition also features menus
from some of the most-renowned Italian chefs from the past 50 years. Mario Batalia,
Lidia Bastianich, Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray, and Aldo Zilli are among the group
of farflung chefs. Colour photos.
Hardcover, 1263 pp, $59.95.
8. Delectable Collectibles by

9. All About Braising
Molly Stevens
There are few things more comforting than a good stew whether short ribs braised

merguez sausages or a beef ragu. A Fine Cooking contributing editor, Stevens
is strong on technique. Colour photos. Hardcover, 481pp, $51.00.
