Coonawarra is region that has a singular story based on a unique cigar-shaped strip of terra rossa soil over limestone. Established as a 'fruit colony' in the 1880s the region provided grapes for many of the great wines of the early 20th century. After a long period of significant decline the region became known for quality wine again after David Wynn established Wynns Coonawarra Estate in 1951. Through the second half of the 20th century Coonawarra and particularly Coonawarra Cabernet was one of the most sought after wines and wine regions in Australia. Older vintages of Wynns 'Black Label' and 'Red Stripe' hold a special place in Australian wine lovers' cellars and hearts. <br /> <br /> Over the years David Wynn engaged a number of artists and writers such as Tate Adams and Walter James to record and celebrate the Coonawarra region and Wynns Coonawarra Estate.<br /> <br /> An excellent copy and a significant work in the canon of Australian wine literature and art.<br /> </p> <br /> § OCLC only records 5 copies outside of Australia; 4 in the USA Sonoma UCLA Penn State and Carleton<br /> § Gabler G7040.<br /> </p> Lyre Bird Press unknown

193063169Austin & Minneapolis MN: Minnesota Utilities Company; Northern States Power Company - Home Service Department Cooking School; Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota ca. 1930-1936. Eight parts. 4to. 46 pp assorted separate numbering. w/ most leaves printed on recto only but 2 printed on recto & verso in mimeograph typescript stapled at upper left corners separately 1 part w/ “Seasons Greetings†printed in red minor age toning edgewear still a VG group. A culturally significant group of mimeographed recipes instructions and promotional flyers for the Home Economics & Cooking School demonstrations put on by Naoma Rice for three different Minnesota utility and public utility companies through the depths of the Great Depression. Spearheaded by Rice 1899-1937 the demonstrations emphasized the use and advantages of electric ranges and refrigerators as their popularity and use slowly became more widespread in the 1930’s with an emphasis on local produce and fruits. The first group of recipes includes instructions for such confections as Cranberry Sponge Cake Cider Sherbet Macaroon Pie Spagetti sic Sauce and Bran Refrigerator Rolls. Mixed through the other recipes there are instructions for Crunchy Potato Chip Cookies Apple Cheese Cake Parmesan Veal Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Corn Flake Crust. Several of the recipes emphasize the use of popular Minnesota fruits including Apple Quince Grapes and others.The importance of refrigeration was also emphasized in the “Cooking School†and Model Kitchens with instructions on temperatures needed for home rangers and refrigerators for cooked foods meats butter opened jelly or preserves cheeses and more. Rice suffered through an unspecified childhood illness by by the early 1920’s had become a public school Home Economics Teacher and then by 1928 was listed in Austin MN street directories as a “Demonstrator†for home economics and cooking classes. The Minnesota Utilities Company had been created in 1917 from several smaller utilities and my the Great Depression had grown large enough that it became subject to both the TVA and the Rural Electrification Project as Roosevelt’s New Deal programs attempted to encourage increased use of electricity and electric appliances to boost the economy. The Northern States Power Co. was based out of Minneapolis MN and extended across Minnesota Michigan into the Dakotas and operated an extensive Home Service Dept. The Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota appears to have been one of the short-lived outgrowths of WPA and PWA-sponsored programs under the New Deal. This cataloguer could not locate any similar surviving documents for Naoma Rice cooking classes or the Minnesota-based utility companies.

Among the legible signatures are the host chef Michael Demers of Alize Chefs Michael and Wendy Jordan of Rosemary's Chef Michael Mina of Aqua at the Bellagio Pastry Chef Megan Romano of Aureole at Madalay Bay and Chef Marc Poidevin of Le Cirque at the Bellagio. The other 5 signatures are difficult to decipher PHOTO UPON REQUEST but probably include other chefs participating in the tribute such as Chef Andre Rochat of Andre's Chefs Jean Joho and Juong Sohn of Eiffel Tower Restaurant at Paris Chef Luciano Pellegrini of Valention at the Venetian among others as listed in print on the facing page.

Sure the payoffs can be great but everyone knows the house always wins. Well maybe not always. One of the biggest gambles the city has taken in recent years is the transformation of the dining scene from all-you-can-eat prime-rib buffets to world-class restaurants. The hotels that invested in these new eating establishments are reaping financial rewards but the real winners are the residents and tourists who can now feast on some of the best food in the country. At every level from bakery to bistro noodle shop to nouvelle cuisine Vegas is firmly situated on the culinary map. One of the people who helped make it so was Jean-Louis Palladin who packed up his things in the Watergate Hotel in Washington D.C. and moved to the dining desert in the early 1990s. We lost Palladin to lung cancer last year but this event has been coordinated by his colleague André Rochat to honor the people and the city he touched. Rochat is gathering many of the chefs who helped the Vegas gourmet gamble pay off at his new restaurant in the Top of the Palms Casino and Resort Alizé which Ken White of the Las Vegas Review-Journal says "delivers" on all counts. Greeting the chefs will be Michael Demers a Johnson & Wales grad who worked with Daniel Boulud at Le Cirque and who is executive chef of Alizé. Demers moved to Las Vegas where he met Jean-Louis Palladin. Palladin mentored Demers and encouraged him to join the Napa restaurant opening team. When Napa closed after Palladin's death in 2001 Demers was recruited to Rochat's new project at the Top of the Palms. Rochat Vegas regulars will know was one of the first serious chefs to call the city of neon lights home. He opened his first fine French restaurant André's French Restaurant in 1980 bringing the cooking of his native Savoie to town before anyone on the Strip had ever even heard of Wolfgang Puck. Given all the changes that have ensued-Rochat himself opened a second restaurant in the Monte Carlo in 1997-it was impressive to read Heidi Knapp Rinella's review in the Review-Journal last year: "Was André's still able to stand up to what in the past decade had become very stiff competition Oh yeah. In spades." Last year he opened Alizé at the Top of the Palms. Beard Award winner Jean Joho climbed to culinary heights at Everest in Chicago not to mention Brasserie Jo and the Corner Bakery and he's scaling them again at the Eiffel Tower restaurant in Vegas's Paris Casino. Michael Jordan is another Vegas culinary pioneer who amid the frenzy of casinos importing chefs went local by opening an independent restaurant away from the Strip. Like Rochat Jordan and his wife and partner Wendy flouted the trend of bringing in chefs from someplace else by opening a branch of Rosemary's at the Rio in the former Napa space. Grant MacPherson came to Bellagio the long way via Singapore. He was chef at Raffles there until he was tapped to head the vast kitchens of Las Vegas's most expensive hotel to date where he oversees 20 restaurants and a food and beverage program that surpasses $200 million per year. Bellagio is the only Mobil Five-Star hotel in Vegas. One of the those restaurants is Aqua where Beard Award winner Michael Mina is in charge. Mina is chef of Aqua and Nob Hill in San Francisco and Las Vegas restaurants that have made a splash in fish cookery and fine New American cuisine. Charlie Palmer and his food tower over the competition in New York and the new Las Vegas. Dramatic presentations and ethereal flavors set his modern American cooking apart-and they are also the reason why he's received a James Beard Foundation Award. At the Vegas outpost of his beloved Aureole it's his food and the striking design that make the meals memorable. Celebrity restaurateur Piero Selvaggio would only put a gifted chef in charge of his sister restaurant. He found one in Luciano Pellegrini a native of Bergamo who came to Los Angeles to work for Selvaggio at Valentino then helped him open Primi and Posto before moving to Las Vegas. Rounding out the crew is Marc Poidevin executive chef of Le Cirque and Osteria del Circo in the Bellagio. He couldn't have been better prepared for the task having been chef de cuisine for Le Cirque 2000 in New York before heading west. Need any more encouragement to take Las Vegas American Italian and French dining seriously Les jeux sont faits.".

201026548Noida: Random House India 2010. Book. Illus. by Menon Anushka Nadia. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 200 pages. It is not often that one finds the classic versions subtle refined and delicately flavoured. Pratibha Karan gives us not just the definitive recipes from these regions but unearths rare and old dishes such as a biryani made with oranges Rose Biryani and Kebab Biryani. In the south the biryani has an equally distinguished lineage if not more so. There are the blueblooded biryanis of Hyderabad which include gems such as the Doodh ki Biryani Keeme ki biryani and Bater ki biryani. Away from the royal courts the biryani has adapted itself into a spicy local delicacy in Tamil Nadu with many towns like Salem Aambur Dindigul boasting of their own signature version of the dish. Kerala too is home to many - a prawn biryani spiced with curry leaves and aniseed a mutton one laced with star anise. There are as many stunning variations in the east and west-Goan biryanis using vinegar and olives; unusual dishes from the Parsi and Sindhi communities. Top right hand corner of front board is bumped and there is a very neat inscription to top edge of page 118 not affecting contents. Random House, India Hardcover

We see Boston Mayor later Governor and Secretary of Labor Maurice Tobin. We see a sensitively drawn portrait of . Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson who was Cutler's first boss in Washington. There are revealing glimpses of General George C. Marshall. and there is a vivid picture of James V. Forrestal. Through his friendship with Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Cutler was drawn into the inner circle supporting the candidacy of Dwight D. Eisenhower. Riding aboard Ike's 1952 campaign train as it crisscrossed the country Cutler worked day and night on speeches and saw at first hand Eisenhower's harsh ordeal in politics at the hand of men like Jenner of Indiana and McCarthy of Wisconsin. This book is much more than a public portrait. It is also a warmly human remembrance of a childhood. and a nostalgic memoir of college years spent in that great era when the term "World War" had not yet been thought of. General Cutler has an unusual story to tell and he tells it well." Jacket has edgewear some rubbing discoloration or soil and foxing notably on front on folds and on the reverse.
