Food and Feasting in Art (Guide to Imagery)
Sylvia Malaguzzi

Getty Publications, 2008

The book describes the significance of food and feasts as told in Scripture and in the lives of the saints; food and dining in Greek and Roman mythology and in later literature and history; and how artists through the ages have created allegories of gluttony and odes to the sense of taste, using, for example, artfully positioned fruits and vegetables in the golden age of the still-life genre in painting. Also discussed is the role of table ...

Fix-It and Forget-It: Feasting with your Slow Cooker: 2009 Day-to-Day Calendar

1 review
Phyllis Pellman Good

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008

Poorly formatted, but content is true to description
So, when I ordered a "day-to-day" calendar, I expected what I've gotten with every other day-to-day calendar I've ever owned in my life, including other cooking/recipe ones-- a separate page, each day, with the probable exception of Saturday and Sunday, for a total of six pages a week. What I received was, I have to admit, "over 100 recipes" as the description states. However, there are only ...

1 review

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

Well done
I've enjoyed what I've read so far. Good writers and a great idea of breaking up the four ways of seeing the scripture right on the same pages.

Vege Thai to Love
A very good local Thai restaurant had recently closed and my wife and I were looking for some replacement when we found this cookbook in a vege zine. The recipe's are great and easy to follow. We made the Tom Yum which is a lemon grass soup and it was excellent, just like the restaurant.

what's not to like here?
This is the handiest book! I've loaned it to a neighbor for a recipe she tasted and by the time I got it back she had ordered her own copy. Home recipes are great.

Keeping the Sabbath Wholly: Ceasing, Resting, Embracing, Feasting

8 reviews
Marva J. Dawn

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1989

A good "how-to" book
Finally a Sabbath book that doesn't seek to convince one of which day should be kept as the Sabbath, but focusses instead on HOW to keep the Sabbath. The book is broken into four major parts - ceasing, resting, embracing, and feasting. Each of those chapter breaks its subject down into seven areas. For example, the section on resting covers physical, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and ...

Feasting on the Word: Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary, Year B, Vol. 1

3 reviews

Westminster John Knox Press, 2008

Nice way to bring many facets of sermon prep together
So far I've been happy with the quality of information and the depth of imagination. I look forward to much more use. The layout is done very well and the writings are diverse and short enough to read quickly.

Patience Gray

Prospect Books (UK), 2004

Epitome of Great Culinary Writing. Buy it and Read it Now!
`Honey from a Weed' by Patience Gray, by my very informal survey of approximately 400 cookbooks over the last year is probably the single most cited culinary book after Harold McGee's `On Food and Cooking' and Julia Child's `Mastering the Art of French Cooking. And, I have been trying to place this most distinctive work in the world of culinary writing for about the same time. I think I am ...

Fish on Friday: Feasting, Fasting, and the Discovery of the New World
Brian Fagan

Basic Books, 2007

What gave Christopher Columbus the confidence in 1492 to set out across the Atlantic Ocean? Fish on Friday tells the story of the discovery of America as a product of the long sweep of history: the spread of Christianity and the radical cultural changes it brought to Europe, the interaction of economic necessity with a changing climate, and generations of unknown fishermen who explored the North Atlantic in the centuries before ...

Patrick Faas

University Of Chicago Press, 2005

If you wanted to know about Roman cooking, look here
Pretty awesome book... I must say. If you wanted to know about Roman cooking this is the book for you. It talks about all kinds of aspects of life and entertainment in Rome as well. Some ingredients don't translate well... Dolphin? Whats a good replacement for that? Good book though.

The Chumash World at European Contact: Power, Trade, and Feasting Among Complex Hunter-Gatherers
Lynn H. Gamble

University of California Press, 2008

When Spanish explorers and missionaries came onto Southern California's shores in 1769, they encountered the large towns and villages of the Chumash, a people who at that time were among the most advanced hunter-gatherer societies in the world. The Spanish were entertained and fed at lavish feasts hosted by chiefs who ruled over the settlements and who participated in extensive social and economic networks. In this first modern synthesis of data ...

The Mead-Hall: The Feasting Tradition in Anglo-Saxon England

2 reviews
Stephen Pollington

Anglo-Saxon Books, 2003

Time well spent
Focusing on the Anglo-Saxon institution of the mead-hall, the author leads us to a view of what may have been a basic building block of Germanic culture. While culling his evidence primarily from the wealth of A/S literature (which he translates himself), Pollington enhances his material with data derived from archeological finds. The accuracy of his presentation sets his book squarely in the ...

Mary Houser Caditz

Washington State University, 1996

Great Gift for Gourmets!
This cook book is informative, useful, and inspiring. The recipes are yummy and well worth the effort. Be sure to try the Walnut Torte with Chocolate Glaze! The book is divided into regions of Washington State, with an interesting narrative about each region in each section. There are historic photos, too, so Wandering and Feasting is a book to read, in addition to cook book as reference. ...

Fasting, Feasting

Anita Desai

Mariner Books, 2000

Fasting, Feasting by Anita Desai
In her novel, Fasting, Feasting, Anita Desai eventually accomplishes what many writers attempt and then fail to achieve. She uses light touch, simple language, uncomplicated structure, but at the same time addresses some very big issues and makes a point. Uma and Arun are children of Mamapapa, the apparently indivisible common identity that parents present. These parents, however, are not at ...

Feasting on the Spoils: A Must Read Book for Our Time!
Our country is in trouble. Big trouble. The amount of greed and corruption that is being allowed to run amuck these past seven years is staggering. With all of the terror mongering going on, many will turn the other way not wanting any more bad news. Do not make that mistake. Hettena has masterfully taken a complex, convoluted and just plain confusing history and woven a fascinating and ...

Feasting Free on Wild Edibles

5 reviews
Bradford Angier

Stackpole Books, 2002

excellent resource!
This is the first book I've found that ever really tells you what wild plants are edible. It's not a "read through" book, but it is eminently valueable for finding out if specific nuts/berries/roots are edible. There are line drawings and Latin names to help with identification. The writing style is informative but not persnicketty. Each plant has 'receipes' and occasionally anecdotes. Infact ...
