Medium Raw : A bloody valentine to the world of food and the people who cook order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author: Bourdain Anthony
In Stock: 4
Anthony Bourdain's long-awaited sequel to Kitchen Confidential, the worldwide bestseller. A lot has changed since then - for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business-and for Anthony Bourdain. Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author's bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he's seen and what he's seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food. And always he returns to the question 'Why cook?' Or the harder one to answer 'Why cook well?' Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs he compares to a Mafia summit, Bourdain, in his distinctive, no-holds-barred style, cuts to the bone on ... more

My Life in France order quantity

NZ$ 35.00 each
Paperback
Author: Julia Child
In Stock: 4
When Julia Child arrived in Paris in 1948, a 'six-foot-two-inch, thirty-six-year-old, rather loud and unserious Californian', she spoke barely a few words of French, and didn't know the first thing about cooking. 'What's a shallot?' she asked her husband Paul, as they waited for their sole meuniere during their very first lunch in France, which she was to describe later as 'the most exciting meal of my life'. As she fell in love with French culture, buying food at local markets, sampling the local bistros and taking classes at the Cordon Bleu, her life began to change forever, and we follow her extraordinary transformation from kitchen ingenue to internationally renowned (and internationally loved) expert in French cuisine. Bursting with Child's adventurous and humorous spirit, "My Life in France" captures post-war Paris with wonderful vividness and charm.

Chancers and Visionaries : A History Of Wine In New Zealand order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 49.99 each
Paperback
Author: Stewart Keith
In Stock: 1
Most people know about the impact of Dalmatian immigrants on our wine industry. Some may remember that in the 1820s vines were planted at various places in the Far North. But given how vital the industry is these days and how much attention our distinctive New World wines get from overseas judges, we are all surprisingly hazy about what happened in
between. How many New Zealanders know that had it not been for the Temperance movement and the aggression of the beer industry, we’d have had a thriving wine industry a century earlier than we did? How many know that if it weren’t for Catholic priests, winemaking may have died out altogether?
In this carefully researched, engagingly told history, well-known wine writer Keith Stewart uncovers the
fascinating history of wine in this country and highlights the remarkable characters who believed in it and
whose passion drove it forward, even in its darkest decades.
