A Pike in the Basement or Green Tea

A Pike in the Basement

Author: Simon Loftus

"Simon Loftus is a man with a sense of adventure and a nose for the good things in life. In A Pike in the Basement he combines a love of food and travel with beguiling style and takes us on a voyage of discovery round some of the world's lesser-known culinary delights. He understands the importance of the right food in the right place at the right time, and the evocative power of tastes and smells to the traveller." Each of these sixteen traveller's tales ends with a recipe - fried eggs, bacon, boiled potatoes and salad, Devilled Spuds, Frozen Oranges and of course, Pike Quenelles - and wine suggestions to go with them.

Publishers Weekly

From frozen oranges in Asia Minor to catfish in Tennessee, Loftus is bent on one thing (and ready to travel extensively to find it): enjoyment and ambience in dining. The author ( Anatomy of the Wine Trade ) on his favorite omelet, pinned down in the ``deserted countryside'' of France: ``The ingredients were well combined: fresh eggs, good butter and the pleasure of the harvest, with the sweet smell of new hay drifting across from the other side of that tiny valley.'' Bursting with a desire to describe and evaluate everything he sees and tastes on four continents, and amply endowed to do so, the writer (who is an English publican) is such a food snob that he sneers at French truffles as pretentious and inferior, placed beside the ``white truffle of Piedmont,'' and even ventures the ``heretical'' view that ``I seldom think homemade bread is as good as that from a decent professional.'' This opinionated posture is so up-front, however, that readers won't mind. Brief and enticing recipes, with recommended wines, sing off each chapter. Illustrated. (Nov.)

Australian Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics - Publisher

...the first detailed treatise on tea's history and production. "Coverage of the subject matter is excellent.

Doody Review Services

Reviewer: Zhaoming Xu, BSc, MSc, PhD (University of British Columbia)
Description: This book provides an overview on a broad range of topics related to green tea with a focus on the chemical and biochemical functions and potential health benefits of tea polyphenols.
Purpose: It deals primarily with the health benefits of tea polyphenols, in particular tea catechins.
Audience: It seems that this book is aimed at those individuals who are interested in knowing more about the health benefit of green tea.
Features: This book begins with an introduction of the history of tea followed by information on the health benefits of green tea. This includes the antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral and anticarcinogenic activities of polyphenols, and cancer prevention and lipid lowering effects of green tea. It is interesting that this book also devotes one chapter to the practical and industrial applications of polyphenols and related commercial products. An overview on the production, processing, consumption, and trading of Japanese tea and recent trends in the Japanese tea industry are provided in the last chapter under the title of Tea in Japan.
Assessment: This book provides a comprehensive, but brief, survey on the health benefits of green tea. It is interesting reading material for tea drinkers and potential consumers as it provides sufficient information showing potential health benefits associated with green tea. Some of the information may be a bit overwhelming for those less advanced consumers. At the same time, researchers will likely find that the value of this book as a reference is limited.

Booknews

Twenty scientific papers trace the results of studies conducted over the past two decades by Hara, now a vice president of Tokyo Food Techno Co. Ltd., and other researchers.

Papers review the biosynthesis and fermentation processes in green and black teas, analyze effective methods for extracting tea polyphenols, and investigate the cancer-fighting and other beneficial properties of tea.

Pattis Pearls or Eating Out in Europe

Patti's Pearls: Gem's from a Traveling Cook

Author: Patti Griffin

Have you ever wanted to branch out and cook something spectacular? Author Patti Griffin has developed recipes from all over the world that are impressive yet simple. In Patti's Pearls she explains each recipe carefully so that even the most timid cook can prepare the dish with confidence.

Griffin traveled all over Europe and much of the United States as an Air Force Reserve officer. During these worldwide assignments, she was fortunate enough to try cuisines from different cultures. These adventures inspired Griffin to develop her own recipes that reflect the wonderful tastes of the world. Her eclectic recipes come from exotic locales such as Korea, Greece, Belgium, Italy, Morocco, and even from the kitchens of her mother and grandmother. She also provides personal anecdotes with each recipe that explain the origin and background of the dish.

Throughout her travels Griffin discovered that many recipes have one thing in common—passion. Every culture has a zeal of its own that brings uniqueness to the cuisine. Griffin has skillfully captured that passion and shares it in Patti's Pearls!

Eating Out in Europe: Picnics, Gourmet Dining and Snacks Since the Late Eighteenth Century

Author: Marc Jacobs

Europeans are eating out in unprecedented numbers-in cafés, pubs, brasseries, and restaurants. But what if we open up this concept of "eating out" to include any eating that takes place outside the home? What cultural shifts can we see through time? What does this tell us about pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial societies?

Eating Out in Europe addresses such questions as it examines changes in eating patterns. Case studies include the evolution of the pub, the rise of the fast food industry in Britain, picnicking in nineteenth-century France, snack culture in the Netherlands, industrial canteens in Germany, the rise of restaurants in Norway, and countryside traditions in Hungary. Fully comprehensive and illustrated, the contributors draw on examples throughout Europe from the late eighteenth century to the present day.
