Dust jacket notes read: "What is as satisfying on a cold winter's night as a hearty stew? Or as refreshing on a hot summer's day as a cold soup? And who can ever resist a bowl of pasta? 'After too many seasons of precious, regional culinary idiosyncrasy, at last a hearty stew of a book …' writes Jeffrey Fiskin, food and wine critic of California magazine. The Good Food is the first single collection of recipes devoted to the celebration of these classics of casual cuisine. Betty Fussell, author of Masters of American Cookery, adds, 'Anyone who loves roasted peppers, garlic, anchovies, lemons, olives, and dill can be grateful for this well-traveled guide through the good foodlands of the Mediterranean and elsewhere ...' Drawing on the diverse cooking traditions of America, Italy, France, India, Morocco, and the Middle East, the authors have assembled 184 recipes that include not only the classic examples of each cuisine, but also unusual dishes that provide surprising gastronomic rewards. Here are such international classics as Gazpacho, Mediterranean Fish Stew, and Spaghetti alla Bolognese, as well as a number of unexpected delights-Chestnut Soup with Brandy and Cream; Duck, Sausage, and Okra Gumbo; and Lasagne with Chicken, Artichokes, and Mushrooms. The authors have included an additional section of accompaniments, which offers salads, appetizers, and condiments that complement the other entries. In The Good Food the emphasis is on the pleasure of preparing-and eating-excellent dishes. The result is certain to please the aficionado of haute cuisine as well as the peasant gourmet. "
