Button brings the cuisine at Cúrate into the kitchen of every home cook, showing readers how to re-create classic Spanish dishes and adapt them using American seasonal ingredients.

"Katie Button is one the most inspiring young cooks who received the title of Best New Chef during my tenure as Editor in Chief at Food & Wine. "In this gorgeous book Chef Katie Button has captured the spirit and conviviality of Spanish cooking and brought it to the American table.

"Amazing book!"
"Amazing book by an amazing Chef!"
"A beautifully composed collection of delicious recipes!"
"Curate is one of my most favorite restaurants, and i am so glad to have this wonderful cookbook."
"I am really going to enjoy doing these recipes, it will be hard to choose which one, they all look so good."
"Very best authentic/american/spanish collection of recipes ever compiled into one book."
"I live in Asheville and make the pilgrimage to Curate every other year because as much as I love the food (and I ADORE the food) I just can't afford to make a habit of it. I sit at the counter during lunch and have the wait staff bring me food until I tell them to stop, which is next to impossible to do because every single dish they serve is outstanding."
Cocina Criolla no puede compararse con la generalidad de los libros de cocina. Pero por su encaje perfecto en la necesidad actual de literatura culinaria pr�ctica y �til y por la forma detallada y caracter�stica de sus rectas es, de por s�, �nico en su clase. Pelican also publishes the Spanish version of this book, Cocina Criolla, as well as the Spanish cookbook classic Juntos en la Cocina, written by Valldejuli and her husband, Luis F. Valldejuli.

Some cookbooks, like say Mimi Thorisson’s A Kitchen in France: A Year of Cooking in My Farmhouse, almost qualify as escapist literature: You know you’ll never live her life, even approximately, but maybe you can make some of her food."

You can imagine Ari’s family sitting in the kitchen as his grandmother taught his mother how to stuff mussels as the aroma rose into a delicious cloud, you feel like you heard the conversations of the village women as they kneaded the dough for the pasta before they hung it outside as the air carried the aroma of the herbs from the fields."

Best French Cooking, Food & Wine
This boxed set brings together Mastering the Art of French Cooking, first published in 1961, and its sequel, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume Two, published in 1970. Mastering the Art of French Cooking is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food and long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Out of their discoveries they made, for Volume Two, a brilliant selection of precisely those recipes that not only add to the repertory but, above all, bring the reader to a new level of mastery of the art of French cooking. Praise for Julia Child and Mastering the Art of French Cooking “Julia Child paved the way for Chez Panisse and so many others by demystifying French food and by reconnecting pleasure and delight with cooking and eating at the table. the grande dame of cooking, who has touched all of our lives with her immense respect and appreciation of cuisine.” —Emeril Lagasse, Emeril’s Restaurant. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining. By doing so, she greatly expanded the audience for all serious food writers.

Best Russian Cooking, Food & Wine
From the robust foods of the Baltic states to the delicately perfumed pilafs of Azerbaijan, from borscht and beef stroganoff to the grains and yogurts of Georgia, Anya von Bremzen and John Welchman take Westerners on a spectacular tour of the many and varied cuisines of the fifteen former Soviet republics. Anya von Bremzen, a native Muscovite, grew up on regional cooking and has traveled extensively throughout the former Soviet Union, visiting professional chefs, touring markets, and sampling and gathering dishes. Suggested menus also highlight the impact of other cultures on the vast U.S.S.R.: a Russian vodka party features French-inspired pate; an Armenian meze (appetizer) buffet with spiced feta and halvah is closer to the Middle East than the West; and a Passover dinner includes chicken pilaf with apples, raisins and quince, created by Jews of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, who now live in New York.

"This cookbook offers both; the recipes work (I should note I have the UK edition without US conversions)--many of the techniques are new to me and they work well--and the flavors are amazing. The first recipes I made from this book were the roasted cauliflower salad with celery, hazelnuts and pomegranate and the sofrito chicken. I am adding this cookbook to my top 10 list because a) it's a beautiful, well-written book, b) the recipes work very well when followed to the letter, but there's lots of room for improvisation, c) the flavor and texture combinations are complex, subtle and well-balanced, and d) the dishes are delicious."

Yotam Ottolenghi is one of the most exciting new talents in the cooking world, with four fabulous, eponymous London restaurants and a weekly newspaper column that's read by foodies all over the world. Ottolenghi's book "Plenty" rose to be a best seller in Britain on its release last year (it appeared here several months ago), and is among the most generous and luxurious nonmeat cookbooks ever produced, one that instantly reminds us that you don't need meat to produce over-the-top food. The recipes not only made vegetarian food sexy (note: Ottolenghi wants you to know he loves meat), they also made Western cooks crave Eastern Mediterranean flavors."

"His gift with produce, herbs and spices, and technique makes this such a joy to work with. The binding and paper quality is top notch. My youngest, who detests goat cheese, gobbled hers up and proclaimed it to be the only recipe where goat cheese was fine. 2) The Leek Fritters with their yogurty, garlicky, parsley, cilantro sauce were divine. 3) The Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Mango were so flavorful, fabulously fragrant, and pretty."
