Publisher's Notes
"Know your fire", Chef George Hirsch's signature sign-off on his popular public television programs, means: Understand the fundamentals that go into good cooking - what to cook and how to cook it. Whether it's choosing the right cut of meat for your favorite stew, blending the right seasonings to add zing to a traditional recipe, exploring new ways to use familiar ingredients, or planning quick-and-easy meals for the family, you'll find just what you're looking for in the pages of this book. Ingredient selection, shopping tips, menu planning, cooking methods, preparation secrets, and more than 175 original recipes...Know Your Fire is comprehensive without being intimidating. Infused with the same friendly and knowledgeable voice that has made Chef George's cooking shows and other books so popular, this book includes plenty of practical advice, ranging from the most basic techniques of food preparation to sophisticated yet simple ways to add wonderful gourmet touches to any meal. And the recipes - from favorite classics to unusual variations - have been developed to highlight a wide array of ingredients and cooking methods that will be as useful to the novice chef looking to acquire basic skills as they will be to the more experienced home cook.

What Einstein Told His Cook
by Robert L. Wolke
Einstein's cook was lucky. But you, too, can have a scientist in your kitchen: Robert L. Wolke. Does the alcohol really boil off when we cook with wine? Are smoked foods raw or cooked? Are green potatoes poisonous? With the reliability that only a scientist can provide, Robert L. Wolke provides plain-talk explanations of kitchen mysteries with a liberal seasoning of wit. A professor of chemistry and a lifelong gastronome, he has answered hundreds of questions about food and cooking in his syndicated Washington Post column, "Food 101." Organized into basic categories for easy reference, What Einstein Told His Cook contains more than 130 lucid explanations of kitchen phenomena involving starches and sugars, salts, fats, meats and fish, heat and cold, cooking equipment, and more. Along the way, Wolke debunks some widely held myths about foods and cooking. Whether kept in the kitchen or on the reference shelf, What Einstein Told His Cook will be a friendly scientist at your elbow. 20 illustrations.

"This beautiful cookbook de art is sure to satisfy any artistic palette....It presents...an eclectic collection of (Gorman's) bronze and ceramic sculptures, prolific lithographs, pastels and oils. The foods are equally luscious, with 19 chapters of creations from Gorman's own kitchen and those of relatives, friends and neighbors, among them the famous and the not-so-famous....What makes this cookbook unique and fun is the earthy sense of humor complementing the art. Gorman himself offers some of the best tidbits." (Santa Fe New Mexican)
