Recipes and food photography from the 1940s, '50s, and '60s assembled with humorous commentary.

Banana Meatloaf Tomato Soup Cake, and Spam Smoothies -- borderline tummy-turners to downright doubtful -- Retro Food Fiascos is a showcase of culinary curiosities from some of America's favorite magazines, cookbooks, and food companies. Actual recipes and images of some of the most claring dishes to ever leave the kitchen combine with commentary and quips to pay homage to those foods we'd rather forget. In the name of nutrition and creative cooking, the marketing and recipe writers of the 1950s cooked up some very suspicious combinations. Innovations in food processing and new products tempted everyone from the amateur cook to the professional chef to play with their food. And the results? We'll let you be the judge. Book jacket.
For food that's as beautiful as any photograph - and tastes every bit as good as it looks. 'A great book, full of unsurprisingly wonderful photographs... even the most lumbering home cooks can create beautiful dishes' The Sunday Times Magazine 'This ravishing book is a tribute to the passion, flair and creativity with which Frankie transforms my piles of recipes, bringing their 3D tapestry to life so brilliantly and palpably in my books. Revealing her tricks and tips, with delicious, achievable recipes, her book is as beautifully written as it is to behold' Michel Roux, O.B.E. It's true that 'we eat with our eyes'. This beautiful, clever book provides a fantastic toolkit straight from the world of professional food styling, and it promises to change the way you cook for ever. The recipes in The New Art of Cooking include all the little preparation, cooking and serving details that make a difference to the end result: without even trying you'll pick up tips that can be applied to the rest of your repertoire. Recipes include beetroot soup with cream clouds; sticky baked feta with radicchio cups; bittersweet salad with whipped goat's cheese; pork belly roast with shaken rhubarb; fancy puff-pastry fish pie; chocolate mousse with crushed praline; salted caramel wedding cake; and strawberries and cream ice lollies. From simple workday suppers to indulgent feasts for friends and family, this is an approach that will make your cooking look better than ever and taste wonderful too.
From satirist Lileks comes a hilarious collection of questionable childcare tips from a bygone era.
In this book, we have hand-picked the most sophisticated, unanticipated, absorbing (if not at times crackpot!), original and musing book reviews of "The Gallery of Regrettable Food." Don't say we didn't warn you: these reviews are known to shock with their unconventionality or intimacy. Some may be startled by their biting sincerity; others may be spellbound by their unbridled flights of fantasy. Don't buy this book if: 1. You don't have nerves of steel. 2. You expect to get pregnant in the next five minutes. 3. You've heard it all.
Lileks delivers a jaw-dropping retrospective of the worst of the worst rec rooms, dens, bedrooms, and other interior spaces of homes in the years when shag rugs ruled. Everything here is straight out of the pages of 1970s interior design magazines, books, and other supposed arbiters of style and taste.176 pp.
When people think of Russian food, they generally think either of the opulent luxury of the tsarist aristocracy or of post-Soviet elites, signified above all by caviar, or on the other hand of poverty and hunger—of cabbage and potatoes and porridge. Both of these visions have a basis in reality, but both are incomplete. The history of food and drink in Russia includes fasts and feasts, scarcity and, for some, at least, abundance. It includes dishes that came out of the northern, forested regions and ones that incorporate foods from the wider Russian Empire and later from the Soviet Union. Cabbage and Caviar places Russian food and drink in the context of Russian history and shows off the incredible (and largely unknown) variety of Russian food.
This social history tells the story of America's transformation from a nation of honest appetites into an obedient market for instant mashed potatoes. The author investigates a women reformers at the turn of the twentieth century--including Fannie Farmer of the Boston Cooking School--who were determined to modernize the American diet through a "scientific" approach to cooking. It reveals why we think the way we do about food today.--Publisher's description.
