Shakespeares Kitchen Renaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook by Francine Segan ISBN 0375509178

Shakespeare's Kitchen: Renaissance Recipes for the Contemporary Cook by Francine Segan, ISBN 0375509178

A noted food historian brings to life the classic foods of William Shakepeare's world in a series of updated, easy-to-prepare recipes, drawn from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cookbooks....'Shakespeare's Kitchen not only reveals, sometimes surprisingly, what people were eating in Shakespeare's time but also provides recipes that today's cooks can easily re-create with readily available ingredients.'
--from the Foreword by Patrick O'Connell

Francine Segan introduces contemporary cooks to the foods of William Shakespeare's world with recipes updated from classic sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cookbooks. Her easy-to-prepare adaptations shatter the myth that the Bard's primary fare was boiled mutton. In fact, Shakespeare and his contemporaries dined on salads of fresh herbs and vegetables; fish, fowl, and meats of all kinds; and delicate broths. Dried Plums with Wine and Ginger-Zest Crostini, Winter Salad with Raisin and Caper Vinaigrette, and Lobster with Pistachio Stuffing and Seville Orange Butter are just a few of the delicious, aromatic, and gorgeous dishes that will surprise and delight. Segan's delicate and careful renditions of these recipes have been thoroughly tested to ensure no-fail, standout results.
The tantalizing Renaissance recipes in Shakespeare's Kitchen are enhanced with food-related quotes from the Bard, delightful morsels of culinary history, interesting facts on the customs and social etiquette of Shakespeare's time, and the texts of the original recipes, complete with antiquated spellings and eccentric directions. Fifty color images by award-winning food photographer Tim Turner span the centuries with both old-world and contemporary treatments. Patrick O'Connell provides an enticing Foreword to this edible history from which food lovers and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike will derive nourishment. Want something new for dinner?

    1984 by George Orwell ISBN 0679417397

    1984 by George Orwell, ISBN 0679417397

    Portrays life in a future time when a totalitarian government watches over all citizens and directs all activities...(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
    'Nineteen Eighty-Four' revealed George Orwell as one of the twentieth century's greatest mythmakers. While the totalitarian system that provoked him into writing it has since passed into oblivion, his harrowing cautionary tale of a man trapped in a political nightmare has had the opposite fate: its relevance and power to disturb our complacency seem to grow decade by decade. In Winston Smith's desperate struggle to free himself from an all-encompassing, malevolent state, Orwell zeroed in on tendencies apparent in every modern society, and made vivid the universal predicament of the individual....

    Go Fish Full Frame

    Go Fish (Full Frame)

    DVD, R, 88 minutes, MGM Home Entertainment...A film-festival favorite, this 'groundbreaking picture' (The Hollywood Reporter) is a candid and honest look at women in love that is 'visually audacious, full of surprising charm and highly entertaining' (Variety)! In her directorial debut, Rose Troche ('Bedrooms & Hallways'), along with her co-writer and lead actress Guinevere Turner, delivers a lively, warm-hearted romantic comedy about the quest for Ms. Right that is 'original, witty and delightful' (Los Angeles Times)! Feisty, beautiful Max (Turner) is an outgoing young woman looking for romance. Tired of hearing her whine about the missing 'X' factor in her life, Max's roommate sets her up with bashful, older - but homely - Ely (V.S. Brodie). Needless to say, there's no sign of fireworks! But just as Max begins to think that she is destined to be alone forever, she discovers that some of life's best surprises come in plain, brown-paper packages.
