Ah, the perfect book on baking!
All I can say is, Wow. Tartine is not only one of the most delicious bakeries anywhere, but they have created a cookbook that lives up to the food they serve. The pictures are illustrative and gorgeous. The writing is clear and succinct. But best of all, the recipes ...

Chez Panisse Fruit
Alice L. Waters

William Morrow Cookbooks, 2002

Excellent Reference for Highly Seasonable Subject. Buy It.
`Chez Panisse Fruit' by Alice Waters and her staff is the companion volume to a similarly formatted and illustrated `Chez Panisse Vegetables'. While I gave the latter volume only four stars, I can give this very similar volume five stars simply because, to my ...

Serves up just that - "A Slice" of organic life,

Chez Panisse Café Cookbook
Alice L. Waters

William Morrow Cookbooks, 1999

More than a Cookbook, not quite a Classic
This book is, at the very least, a feast for the eyes due to the hauntingly Art Nouveau woodcut illustrations by David Lance Goines. This, together with Alice Water's substantial reputation sets the bar of expectations very high for this book. Waters has established a ...
  
  











  



  
My Bombay Kitchen: Traditional and Modern Parsi Home Cooking
Niloufer Ichaporia King

University of California Press, 2007

Read in bed, dream of mangoes
Some people use cookbooks, I read them. I believe a cookbook, especially an ethnic or exotic one, should be as entertaining as a novel, as detailed as a travel guide, and as warm and witty as a good neighbor's kitchen. It's rare to find a cookbook that fits the bill ...
  
  











  



  
The Seventh Daughter: My Culinary Journey from Beijing to San Francisco
Cecilia Chiang, Lisa Weiss

Ten Speed Press, 2007

Amazing - Couldn't put this book down
Although this is a cookbook, I was completely drawn to the memoir of the author Cecilia Chiang. As soon as I read the first page, I didn't put the book down until dinner, and then I resumed reading until there was no more to read. Cecilia Chiang was born into an ...

Alice Waters is my Hero
This is an excellent book. Alice Waters' love of the ingredients shows and she makes you love them too. Very good explanations of what to do with each vegetable.

Slow Food Nation: Why Our Food Should Be Good, Clean, And Fair
Carlo Petrini

Rizzoli Ex Libris, 2007

Slow Food: Rich in Character, Intelligence, and Hope
Carlo Petrini gave a lecture at NCSU in Raleigh earlier this year. His talk was in Italian, but his ideas were universal: if we want happiness and peace, we're going to have to change the way we eat. The book is fantastic. It is beautifully written, powerful, and ...

Chez Panisse Cooking
Paul Bertolli, Alice Waters

Random House, 1994

Great foodie read for understanding cooking and ingredients
`Chez Panisse Cooking' by Paul Bertolli, with Alice Waters, is a reminder of the kinds of things we miss in the downpour of fast cooking and low carb cooking books with which we have been showered in the last few years. Like most celebrity cookbooks, this can be seen ...

The Cheese Board: Collective Works: Bread, Pastry, Cheese, Pizza

Ten Speed Press, 2003

Awesome Little Book
I spent 6 years in Berkeley and I still go back occasionally. The one stop I always make is the Cheeseboard. Not only are they famous for wide cheese and olive selection, but their bakery is out of this world. I remember the days where I would get Brioche and munch ...
