Gourmet Today: More Than 1,000 All-New Recipes for the Contemporary Kitchen BUY NOW
Cubberley Theatre, 4000 Middlefield Rd., Palo Alto
In no other period of our country's history has the food scene changed so rapidly. Exciting new ingredients are available everywhere, expanding our culinary horizons. Even casual meals have globe-trotting flavors. We want memorable dishes, and we want them to be healthy for our families and our planet. And with our busy schedules, we want them on the table faster than ever.
Gourmet Today responds to our changing foodscape. Each of the over 1,000 recipes was selected by editor in chief Ruth Reichl, a best-selling author in her own right, who wrote the introductions to each chapter. Every recipe has been tested and cross-tested in the Gourmet test kitchen so every cook, whether a first-timer or a veteran, gets impeccable results. Includes menus for holidays and other seasonal occasions, an authoritative glossary of ingredients (plus mail-order sources), and hundreds of sidebars on ingredients and handy techniques from the test kitchen.

Poetry with
Marcia Wolf: The Grandmother Poems BUY NOW
Marcia Katz Wolf's The Grandmother Poems operates at the fulcrum of her family's history. Some of the poems concern her parents after World War II; others embody Wolf's own vivid womanhood; still others, her grandchildren's first leaps. The final poem portrays Wolf and her husband singing as they push their grandson Yonatan on a swing. Like the grandmother herself, this collection has a long reach, and a warm, strong grasp.
Lauren Rusk: Pictures in the Firestorm BUY NOW
Rusk's poems range from evocative glimpses of the momentary to complex meditations on art and its relationship to the world.
"Pictures in the Firestorm is wide in scope, luminous in detail, and elegant in craft. Lauren Rusk's mastery of nuance and tone allows her to write with equal grace about 1960s San Francisco and about the enduring challenge and grief of a Holocaust museum. Her poems range from evocative glimpses of the momentary to complex meditations on art and its relationship to the world... --Betsy Sholl, Poet Laureate of Maine.
