The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen
Matt Lee - 2013
Growing up in the heart of the historic downtown, in a warbler-yellow house on Charleston’s fabled “Rainbow Row,” brothers Matt and Ted knew how to cast for shrimp before they were in middle school, and could catch and pick crabs soon after. They learned to recognize the fruit trees that grew around town and knew to watch for the day in late March when the loquats on the tree on Chalmers Street ripened. Their new cookbook brings the vibrant food culture of this great Southern city to life, giving readers insider access to the best recipes and stories Charleston has to offer. No cookbook on the region would be complete without the city’s most iconic dishes done right, including She-Crab Soup, Hoppin’ John, and Huguenot Torte, but the Lee brothers also aim to reacquaint home cooks with treasures lost to time, like chewy-crunchy, salty-sweet Groundnut Cakes and Syllabub with Rosemary Glazed Figs. In addition, they masterfully bring the flavors of today’s Charleston to the fore, inviting readers to sip a bright Kumquat Gin Cocktail, nibble chilled Pickled Shrimp with Fennel, and dig into a plate of Smothered Pork Chops, perhaps with a side of Grilled Chainey Briar, foraged from sandy beach paths. The brothers left no stone unturned in their quest for Charleston’s best, interviewing home cooks, chefs, farmers, fishermen, caterers, and funeral directors to create an accurate portrait of the city’s food traditions. Their research led to gems such as Flounder in Parchment with Shaved Vegetables, an homage to the dish that became Edna Lewis’s signature during her tenure at Middleton Place Restaurant, and Cheese Spread à la Henry’s, a peppery dip from the beloved brasserie of the mid-twentieth century. Readers are introduced to the people, past and present, who have left their mark on the food culture of the Holy City and inspired the brothers to become the cookbook authors they are today. Through 100 recipes, 75 full-color photographs, and numerous personal stories, The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen gives readers the most intimate portrayal yet of the cuisine of this exciting Southern city, one that will resonate with food lovers wherever they live. And for visitors to Charleston, indispensible walking and driving tours related to recipes in the book bring this food town to life like never before.

Appetites: A Cookbook
Anthony Bourdain - 2016
And for many years, first as a chef, later as a world-traveling chronicler of food and culture on his CNN series Parts Unknown, he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. These days, however, if he’s cooking, it’s for family and friends.Appetites, his first cookbook in more than ten years, boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and globe-trotting to a tight repertoire of personal favorites—dishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdain’s opinion) know how to cook. Once the supposed "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girl—a role he has embraced with enthusiasm. After years of traveling more than 200 days a year, he now enjoys entertaining at home. Years of prep lists and the hyper-organization necessary for a restaurant kitchen, however, have caused him, in his words, to have "morphed into a psychotic, anally retentive, bad-tempered Ina Garten."The result is a home-cooking, home-entertaining cookbook like no other, with personal favorites from his own kitchen and from his travels, translated into an effective battle plan that will help you terrify your guests with your breathtaking efficiency.

The Belgian Cookbook
Mrs. Brian Luck - 1915
This dish is not obligatory; recollect that it is but aculinary work of supererogation.SOUP: Let your soup be extremely hot; do not let it be like theLaodiceans. You know what St. John said about them, and you would besorry to think of your soup sharing the fate which he describes with suchsaintly verve. Be sure that your soup has a good foundation, and avoidthe Italian method of making _consommé_, which is to put a pot ofwater on to warm and to drive a cow past the door.FISH: It is a truism to say that fish should be absolutely fresh, yetonly too many cooks think, during the week-end, that fish is like themanna of the Hebrews, which was imbued with Sabbatarian principles thatkept it fresh from Saturday to Monday. I implore of you to thinkdifferently about fish. It is a most nourishing and strengthening food--other qualities it has, too, if one must believe the anecdote of theSultan Saladin and the two anchorites.MEAT: If your meat must be cooked in water, let it not boil but merelysimmer; let the pot just whisper agreeably of a good dish to come. Do youknow what an English tourist said, looking into a Moorish cooking-pot?"What have you got there? Mutton and rice?" "For the moment, Sidi, it ismutton and rice," said the Moorish cook; "but in two hours, inshallah,when the garlic has kissed the pot, it will be the most deliciouscomforter from Mecca to Casa Blanca." Simmer and season, then, yourmeats, and let the onion (if not garlic) just kiss the pot, even if youallow no further intimacy between them. Use bay-leaves, spices, herbs ofall sorts, vinegar, cloves; and never forget pepper and salt.Game is like Love, the best appreciated when it begins to go. Onlyexperience will teach you, on blowing up the breast feathers of apheasant, whether it ought to be cooked to-day or to-morrow. Men, as arule, are very particular about the dressing of game, though they may notall be able to tell, like the Frenchman, upon which of her legs apartridge was in the habit of sitting. Game should be underdone ratherthan well done; it should never be without well-buttered toast underneathit to collect the gravy, and the knife to carve it with should be very,very sharp.VEGETABLES: Nearly all these are at their best (like brunettes) justbefore they are fully matured. So says a great authority, and no doubt heis thinking of young peas and beans, lettuces and asparagus. Try to dresssuch things as potatoes, parsnips, cabbages, carrots, in other ways thansimply boiled in water, for the water often removes the flavor and leavesthe fiber. Do not let your vegetable-dishes remind your guests ofFroissart's account of Scotchmen's food, which was "rubbed in a littlewater."
