The Granite Club: Capturing the SpiritThe Granite Club: Capturing the Spirit
Nigel Didcock
The Granite Club: Capturing the Spirit is a multifaceted celebration of the venerable Toronto club: a salute to the seasonal rhythm of club life; an opportunity to learn from and be inspired by Chef Nigel Didcock; a thank you from the chef to those who nurtured him in his career and to those who assist him now. From Cobb salad to the gorgeously-plated pan-seared pork tenderloin, Julia Aitken has translated the chef’s recipes, making them accessible to the home cook. The design team of Heather Cooper and Eric Graham has created a package that reflects the polished elegance of the club. Colour photos. Hardcover, 224 pp. $60.00.

Au Pied De Cochon: The AlbumAu Pied De Cochon: The Album

Martin Picard
Just when we think that after reading cookbooks every day for the last 23 years we have seen it all, something comes along that makes us absolutely giddy with pleasure. This book from the celebrated Montreal restaurant is such a book. Both the book and the restaurant it chronicles marry traditional Quebecois cuisine to the French brasserie then immerse it in the wild abandon of a medieval feast. Day-in-the-life photos and the Steadman/Searle-esque illustrations of Tom Tassel and Marc Sequin aid and abet the air of unrestrained pleasure. The accompanying DVD reinforces both the sense of revelry and the inherent respect for the ingredients and traditions which inform the cooking of Martin Picard. Hardcover, 191 pp. $74.95.

Susur A Culinary Life	Susur: A Culinary Life
Susur Lee
The accolades started rolling in even before the proverbial ink dried in this book. As it does to raise a child, so with this book it took almost a village to bring it to life. At the centre are two creative geniuses: Susur Lee whose recipes supplied the raison d’etre for the book and Sara Angel whose “fused book” vision perfectly represents the seamless whole that Lee has woven between his culinary life and the life lived beyond the kitchen. The Book One essays which chronicle Lee’s life, are credited to Jacob Richler. The recipes which comprise Book Two, will provide inspiration to other chefs as those of Trotter, Ducasse, and Keller have. For the talented amateur they will provide challenge. Throughout the photography of Shun Sasabuchi and Edward Pond are breathtaking. This is a truly stunning achievement which confirms Lee ’s place in the heights of international culinary stardom. Hardcover, 2 books of 128 pp each, $60.00.
