 Flavours
Donna Hay
In her fourth book in two years, Hay concentrates on flavours --
vanilla, lemon and lime, and ginger amongst them. While some ideas
are vintage Hay -- or at least as
vintage as someone barely 30 can be, the vanilla and lemon and lime
chapters seem fresh and particularly appealing. Softcover, $29.95.
Recipes: Veal
with Lemon and Spaghetti
with Lime and Rocket .
 New Cook
Donna Hay
Simple, elegant, easy to prepare. The New Cook makes new cooks out
of experienced cooks and give novice cooks the courage to try new
and unusual dishes. Colour illustrations. Softcover, $24.95.
New Food Fast
Donna Hay
The latest book from Australia's favourite food writer. Quick, elegant
and easy, the recipes in this book are a delight to the eye and the
palate. Colour illustrations. Softcover, $24.95.
  The 250 Best
4-Ingredient Recipes
Margaret Howard
This book will allow even the beginner to whip up home-cooked meals in only minutes
and with only four ingredients. Get cooking! Softcover, 192 pp. $19.95.
The Pleasures of Slow Food
Corby Kummer
The long-awaited debut from Kummer tells the history of the Slow Food Movement in
passionate detail. This is a gorgeously photographed journey across continents to
promote understanding of "how to taste the air and the earth in every bite of
cheese and every sip of wine, and how to help keep those tastes alive in the modern
world." The Tomato Soup With Poached Egg & Serrano Ham (p. 123) is a fabulous
one-pot meal. Hardcover, 174 pp. $65.00.
 Nigella
Bites
Nigella Lawson
The UK's latest, & certainly most stunning, celebrity food personality.
Let the backbiting begin in earnest. There are too many author photos, too
much borrowing
( but at least she cites her sources ), and what's with the trash
cooking ( Elvis's infamous fried peanut butter and banana sandwich again)?
However, a taste of slow-roasted
pork shoulder, aromatic lamb shank stew or raspberry and lemongrass
trifle will stop the critics cold. Give us more! $50.00. Recipe: Pasta
with Meatballs.
 How to Eat
Nigella Lawson
A former restaurant critic for the Spectator, current food columnist for British
Vogue, a Booker Prize judge, a sidekick of Nigel Stalter, and beautiful too.
Could we be more jealous? Subtitled The Pleasures and Principles of Good Food,
Lawson gives us plenty to digest for the brain as well as the stomach. With chapters
covering cooking in advance, feeding small children, small quantity and low-fat cooking,
she has hit upon all the flash points for today's busy lives. Rather idiosyncratic
photos. $70.00.
 Local Flavors
Deborah Madison
This lovely book is dedicated to cooking and eating from America's farmers' markets.
Fast, fresh, healthy ideas. The Apricot Cherry Crisp (p. 284) and the Savoury
Eggplant "Jam" with Cumin and Coriander (p. 169) are staff favourites.
Hardcover, 408 pp., $59.95.

 Home
for Dinner
Lucy Waverman
Like her enourmously popular Dinner Tonight $24.95,
Lucy Waverman's latest book is awash in both the common and the
familiar. Flip through the book and discover that even the ubiquitous
zucchini can be exciting again. With a nod to the slow food movement,
a dash of the Middle East, a pinch of India, Waverman translates
the trends without frightening off the timid cook. Softcover, 218
pp. $29.95. Recipe: Pork
Tenderloin with Rhubarb Sauce .
 Dinner Tonight
Lucy Waverman
Collected from her Globe & Mail column, television's Cityline and
the LCBO's Food & Drink magazine, Waverman's recipes always have
a little twist that raises them from the ordinary with very little
extra time or effort, likely the reason it has become a bestseller
at the store. Try the white chocolate parfit frozen. Yum! Colour
photos. Softcover, 208pp. $24.95.
