Still Going Strong or Antipasto Table

Still Going Strong: A History of Scotch Whisky Advertising

Author: John Hughes

Johnnie Walker Red Label, Black & White, Bells, J&B, Talisker, Lagavulin--all world famous brands, but what were their origins and what is their history? Whisky, perhaps Scotland's most famous export, has been produced for centuries, but in the nineteenth century, production moved away from small stills to the sorts of mass production we see today. With the growth in larger distilleries, there was a matching growth in whisky branding and advertising. Scotch, whether Malt or blended is now produced by large companies, and the brands are known the world over.

Author Biography: John Hughes was in the enviable position of being marketing director for the Famous Grouse and has been at the forefront of branding and marketing one of Scotland's most famous whiskies. This is his second book on whisky for Tempus Publishing.

Antipasto Table

Author: Michele Scicolon

Walk into any restaurant or trattoria in Italy and you'll be greeted by antipasto tables laden with platters of colorful salads, tender seafood dishes, regional salamis and cheeses, and fresh vegetables prepared in every way imaginable. With this inspiring collection of two hundred versatile, simple-to-prepare recipes, Michele Scicolone recreates these antipasto tables at home. The Antipasto Table includes many traditional favorites passed down by the author's family as well as new interpretations based on her own travels in Italy, and even some antipasti new to this country.

Imagine a table of hot antipasti -- fresh mozzarella rolled in bread crumbs and fried until crisp outside and melted within or grilled calamari with oregano and white wine. Or sample the cold dishes -- Sicilian eggplant salad or trout marinated in olive oil, vinegar, and sage. Bread-based antipasti include taralli, fennel-laced biscuits, perfect with a glass of red wine; and bruschetta, grilled country bread topped with fresh tomatoes and herbs or Gorgonzola and pine nuts.

This marvelous cookbook also features special sections on the art of preparing vegetables and selecting the proper wines to serve with antipasti. The Antipasto Table highlights the foods that make Italian cuisine so wonderfully appealing.

Publishers Weekly

Not to be confused with the ubiquitous Italian-American ``antipasto salad,'' genuine ``antipasti'' are delightful hot or cold hors de'oeuvres--the kind of delicacies perched on the ``antipasto table'' at restaurants and trattorie all over Italy. And although, according to Scicolone ( Fish Steaks and Fillets ) in Italian ``antipasto'' means ``before the meal,'' these ``are not mere appetizers.'' In some Italian restaurants, devouring antipasti is a course-after-course indulgence similar in concept to dining on Spanish tapassic . Recipes here, though admirably detailed with substitutions and well-organized methods, are particularly impressive for their simplicity and ease of preparation. Among them are sauteed peppers with balsamic vinegar, orange, parmesan and walnut salad, and mussels with caper mayonnaise--including a method for cleaning and preparing mussels and clams. Instructions for home-drying a bumper crop of ripened plum tomatoes are here, as well as recipes for such uniquely Italian specialties as crusty, chewy Tuscan bread, crispy semolina focaccia and crunchy Sardinian flat bread. An up-front ``antipasto pantry'' section and menus for combining antipasti make this volume doubly useful. Author tour; HomeStyle Book Club alternate. (June)

Library Journal

Scicolone, a cooking teacher and consultant, offers a large collection of simple but fresh and vibrant recipes, most of which can stand on their own as antipasti or be combined with other dishes as the centerpiece of a light meal. The Bread and Focaccia chapter is especially good; Fava Beans with Prosciutto and Parmesan, Wild Mushroom Corstini, and Smoked Salmon with Fennel are among the tempting dishes in other categories. A good companion to Christopher Styler's similar Primi Piatti ( LJ 3/15/89).

Disccookery or Vegetarian Cook Book

Disccookery: The Discdrive 20th Anniversary Cookbook

Author: Jurgen Goth

"The most intelligent radio [program] in the country."

- The Globe and Mail

Since its launch in 1985 DiscDrive has become a Canadian institution, with hundreds of thousands of loyal listeners from coast to coast (and even more listening daily across the northern U.S.).

From early on, food became an important ingredient in the DiscDrive mix: after all, Jurgen Gothe was already an award-winning food and wine journalist. Whether improvised on the spot, or based on what Gothe cooked that weekend, his food preparation ideas -- from the ridiculously simple to the ridiculously elaborate -- formed part of the afternoon delights. Listeners clamored for his recipes and the program's website posted selected ones.

In honor of the radio show's upcoming 20th anniversary, Gothe's inventive recipes have been assembled into one delicious volume: DiscCookery.

DiscCookery has more than 120 recipes, most of them from Gothe's own kitchen and some solicited from DiscDrive listeners. Each recipe is not only paired with an appropriate wine but also a suitable music selection.

Selections focus on:

• Soups and Salads


• Drinks


• Pasta, Fish and Seafood


• Stews


• Chicken and Duck


• Meat


• Snacks and Sides


• Desserts


• Extravaganzas (which includes Gothe's True North Chili made with musk ox, wild boar and caribou).

DiscCookery even includes Gothe's legendary Dinner and Ride Home for Cinderella: a stew of beef, peaches, corn, and vegetables, cooked and served in a pumpkin.

Vegetarian Cook Book: Substitutes for Flesh Foods

Author: E G Fulton

Originally published in 1904, this cookbook provides a fascinating insight into the huge variety of wholesome vegetarian dishes that were available a century ago.

Fulton has treated the subject from the commonly accepted definition of the term vegetarianism, which means to abstain from flesh foods, but allows the use of eggs, milk, and its products. After studying the vegetarian restaurants and the food questions for many years, Fulton has placed before you a book containing instruction in the preparation of wholesome dishes that will build up in place of tearing down the body.
