Andrew Carmellini
Andrew Carmellini, two-time James Beard Award winner, acclaimed author of Urban Italian, and executive chef-owner of the hit New York City restaurants, Locanda Verde and The Dutch, takes readers on a wonderfully rich and diverse tour through the ingredients and cuisines that constitute the best of American Flavor (Ecco, $34.99).
Gabrielle Hamilton
In Blood, Bones, and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef (Random House, $26.00), chef-turned-memoirist, Gabrielle Hamilton recounts her life story. She begins with her idyllic-childhood-turned-sour, as a result of her parents’ divorce, then moves to her adolescence and young womanhood, which included drugs, menial jobs, and lack of direction, and to the launch of her celebrated East Village restaurant, Prune. Vogue magazine calls the story, ". . . moving, original, and quite beautiful . . .”
Jessica B. Harris
In High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America (Bloomsbury, $26.00), acclaimed cookbook author, Jessica B. Harris, tells the story of the African diaspora through food, from the foodstuff brought along with African slaves to barely maintain them on the Middle Passage to the undeniable imprint of African American cuisine on southern American and Caribbean food. "Plenty to savor in Jessica B. Harris’s latest book," says Saveur Magazine. Harris is the author or more than 20 cookbooks on Southern, African, South American, and Caribbean cuisine.
