"The Bread Bible"

many more cousins of the humble loaf.
"Dessert Circus at Home"

beautiful desserts in the confines of your own humble
kitchen, without even breaking a sweat? Thank heavens, it
really is. Jacques Torres's "Dessert Circus at Home" shows
you the way to sweet success.
"CUCINA EBRAICA": JOYCE GOLDSTEIN ON A MEDITERRANEAN PASSOVER
*************************************************************
"In 1989 a group of my favorite Square One regular customers
asked me to make Passover dinner at the restaurant, as they
didn't want to cook it themselves. This presented me with a
dilemma. At home we had not celebrated Passover, therefore I
didn't have family food traditions to fall back on. The
Jewish food I knew was based on my childhood dining
experiences in New York. However, for a few years I had
participated in a collective Seder with other San Francisco
chefs, so I understood the format and requirements of the
meal. And, because we all were good cooks, I knew the food
could be truly delicious." Read Joyce Goldstein's exclusive
essay for Amazon.com and enjoy two recipes from her recent
book, "Cucina Ebraica."

Easter time gives cooks the perfect excuse to whip up a
frenzy of cakes, cookies, pies, and tarts, and to fill the
house with the smell of freshly baked delicacies. These
scrumptious books are filled with ideas and inspiration for
your every baking desire.
