Finalist for the 2018 James Beard Foundation Book Awards for "Restaurant and Professional" category The debut cookbook from one of the country's most celebrated and pioneering restaurants, Michelin-starred State Bird Provisions in San Francisco. Few restaurants have taken the nation by storm in the way that State Bird Provisions has. Inspired by their years catering parties, chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski use dim sum style carts to offer guests small but finely crafted dishes ranging from Potato Chips with Crème Fraiche and Cured Trout Roe, to Black Butter-Balsamic Figs with Wagon Wheel Cheese Fondue, to their famous savory pancakes (such as Chanterelle Pancakes with Lardo and Maple Vinegar), along with a menu of more substantial dishes such as their signature fried quail with stewed onions. Their singular and original approach to cooking, which expertly blends seemingly disparate influences, flavors, and textures, is a style that has influenced other restaurants throughout the country and is beloved by diners, chefs, and critics alike. In the debut cookbook from this acclaimed restaurant, Brioza and Krasinski share recipes for their most popular dishes along with stunning photography, and inspire readers to craft an unforgettable meal of textures, temperatures, aromas, and colors that excite all of the senses.
The Wisconsin Historical Society published Harva Hachten's The Flavor of Wisconsin in 1981. It immediately became an invaluable resource on Wisconsin foods and foodways. This updated and expanded edition explores the multitude of changes in the food culture since the 1980s. Well-known regional food expert and author Terese Allen examines aspects of food, cooking, and eating that have changed or emerged since the first edition, including the explosion of farmers' markets; organic farming and sustainability; the "slow food" movement; artisanal breads, dairy, herb growers, and the like; and how relatively recent immigrants have contributed to Wisconsin's remarkably rich food scene.
The United States is very much a nation of immigrants. Instead of having a number of favorite national dishes, thousands from immigrants from around the world brought their own cuisine to this country, which makes American cooking as varied as its people. All fifty states have their favorite types of food, and each knows how best to prepare its special dish. Like any country surrounded by oceans, Americans enjoy the ocean's abundance and thrive on delicious seafood along the coasts. The coastal states are very particular about "their" special way of preparing seafood. It's worth trying all of them. As American settlers moved westward, they brought their own recipes with them wherever they went. The Midwest is highly influenced by the original Germans and Scandinavians, who favored hearty, tasty, and simple dishes. Moving south, you'll find many recipes brought north by our southern neighbors. In many border states, Mexican dishes are American. Take a leisurely trip through this 50 States Cookbook and see what makes America great.
