John Lee, Kate Leahy, Ara Zada

Summary

“A colorful culinary journey . . . This book explores what Armenian cuisine looks like today in a very authentic and beautiful way.” —Marcus Samuelsson, award-winning chef and restaurateur   This cookbook not only reveals how to make the ubiquitous and doable flatbread lavash, the UNESCO-recognized bread of Armenia, but also shares more than sixty recipes of what to eat with it, from soups and salads to hearty stews paired with lots of fresh herbs. Stunning photography and essays provide an insider’s look at Armenia, a small but fascinating country comprising dramatic mountains, sun-drenched fields, and welcoming people. With influences from the Middle East and the Mediterranean as well as from Russia, the food of Armenia is the next cuisine to explore for people who want to dig deeper into the traditions formed at the crossroads between the East and West.  “An incredibly complete book of foods from Armenia, part cookbook, part coffee-table photo journal, and part history book. The culinary culture of Armenia is ancient, profound, and a doorway to understanding the people and culture of that country—and this book and John Lee’s incredible photos truly do justice to this culinary tradition.” —Serj Tankian, poet, visual artist, activist, composer, and lead vocalist for System of a Down  “At last, Armenian food gets its due! Lavash takes us on a captivating journey through Armenia, sharing stories of this ancient land’s history and people, along with the secrets of its remarkable cuisine. The flatbread recipes alone are worth the price of the book, but there’s so much more revealed here—piquant salads, whole-grain porridges, and soothing soups and stews.” —Darra Goldstein, founding editor of Gastronomica: The Journal of Food and Culture

Mediterranean Vegetables

Clifford A. Wright

“Finally a definitive book on the way the world is eating today. . . . Savory, vibrant, and healthy, and destined to be an instant classic.” —Bobby Flay

With Mediterranean Vegetables, Mediterranean food expert Clifford A. Wright gives us a new world of great tastes. Never before has such a wealth of information on vegetables of the Mediterranean been collected in one place. Each entry describes a vegetable and its varieties, explains its origins and its culinary history from ancient times right up through the present, and details how to grow and harvest is and where to buy it. Included are many vegetables that you may use every day, such as spinach, carrots, peppers, and tomatoes, as well as those you regularly see in markets but are unsure how to prepare, such as celeriac, kohlrabi, and taro. There are also those that you can easily cultivate in your garden or find growing wild, such as borage and garden cress.

You’ll find authentic recipes for such classics as ratatouille, gazpacho, and tabbouleh, as well as recipes for such less familiar dishes including Artichoke Hearts in Citrus Sauce and Golden Breadcrumbs, Fried Eggplant with Yogurt, etouffee of White Beans, Carrot Frittata, and more. Comprehensive and eminently accessible, Mediterranean Vegetables is, quite simply, a must-have reference and cookbook.

“There are so many interesting flavors and combinations here. Having had the honor of eating some of these dishes cooked by Cliff’s own hand, I know how good they really are. I can’t wait to cook them myself.” —Deborah Madison, author of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and The Greens Cookbook

The Good Fork Cookbook

Rachel Wharton, Sohui Kim

“A wonderful collection of warming recipes and stories perfect for the multicultural way we eat, entertain, and live today.” —Anita Lo, Michelin-starred chef and author of Solo 
 
For more than 10 years, The Good Fork has been one of Brooklyn’s favorite restaurants. It’s a neighborhood spot that offers a rare treat in the crowded, slick New York food scene: a restaurant that feels like home. Chef Sohui Kim and her husband live down the block, blurring the lines between their kitchen at home and the restaurant kitchen. The Good Fork Cookbook is packed with Kim’s recipes for flavorful, globally inspired cuisine that a home cook can make any night of the week. Her influences and techniques range from French and Italian to American and Korean, but every dish is comforting, unfussy: Pork Dumplings; Korean-Style Steak and Eggs with Kimchee Rice and Fried Eggs; Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Waffles; and more. The Good Fork Cookbook shares the recipes that made The Good Fork Brooklyn’s favorite mom-and-pop shop. 
 
“I believe that deep down inside, every American cook wants to cultivate the delicate touch, thoughtful spirit, and audacious flavors found in Sohui’s cooking. Her distinctive style of combining Korean traditions with contemporary American flavors in such a personal way makes her cooking, her restaurants, and now her cookbook a reference point for all that is good in our food world today.” —Michael Anthony, James Beard Award-winning chef, Gramercy Tavern  
 
“With this book, you can—at last!—re-create Sohui’s incredibly flavorful, soulful, and comforting food in an actual home.” —Michelle Williams, actor
