The Great Outdoors explains how to cook on an open fire and presents the best outdoor cooking equipment and the most delicious recipes for different meals of the day. From on-the-go sandwiches to self-made pesto, preserved delicacies, or power food - this cookbook is an essential for your next road trip or camping vacation. Take it along and you will be sure to make new friends on the road and on the campsite.

From the author of The Newlywed Table (70,000 copies in print), The Hostess Handbook offers readers 100 easy entertaining recipes, party planning advice, and curated menus to pull off the most delicious and delightful of gatherings, from an epic holiday bash to a casual get-together in the backyard, or an inspired dinner party.

The beautiful tablespace or the eclectic mix of glassware? It's all of the above, and now, you don't have to sweat it because The Hostess Handbook shows how to master the art of entertaining.

Author Maria Zizka starts with the first rule of party planning (being, there are no rules!), then walks readers through some options and considerations to host guests comfortably-from serving supplies to decorating tips and strategies. The array of recipes includes snacks, sides, and salads so good they could be the whole meal, like Chicken Wings with Apricot-Honey-Chile Sauce and Toothpick Gnocchi with Oregano Breadcrumbs. Mains can be made ahead (Brisket and Harissa Buttered Carrots) and will have guests coming back for more (Potato Chip-Crust Chicken with Green Olive Relish). Plus, there are fabulous desserts fit for any type of celebration (from Gingersnap and Lemon Ice Cream Sandwiches to a Pavlova with Chamomile Cream and Citrus). Batch cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks-a Negroni Pitcher, a Sparkling Strawberry-Rhubarb Elixir-make bartending easy.

Throughout, Zizka offers expert advice to coach readers through the party-planning process, from setting the table to cleaning up the inevitable red wine spill. As a bonus, fourteen curated menus-including a pack and go picnic, a Sunday supper for the family, or a promotion party feast- take the worry of meal planning off your plate, making it even easier to get together with loved ones. After all, isn't that the whole point?

Sophisticated, evocative, and delicious, the martini will never go out of style. Appearing in countless movies — for example, any one of the Bond films — it’s one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek’s The Negroni, The Martini will give readers insight into the drink’s nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink — a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand.

Included are the author’s own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on very rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek’s father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ & Daughters Cafe’s own martinis, “The Lower East Side” and “The Smoked Martini.” There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.

About the Author:

Matt Hranek is the author of The Martini, The Negroni, A Man & His Watch, and A Man & His Car, as well as a photographer, a director, and the founder/editor of the men's lifestyle magazine WM Brown.

The East End’s Good Water Farms teamed up with top food bloggers and chefs to offer creative, microgreens-driven recipes. Traditionally used more for garnish, here microgreens are elevated to key ingredients in unexpected and delicious ways. More than twenty varieties of microgreens are featured. The sixty recipes include roasted figs with lemon balm and fennel microgreens; grilled red cabbage and purple radish daikon noodles with red shiso microgreen dressing; Parmesan and farro “risotto” with truffle, roasted monkfish, arugula, fennel, and red mustard microgreens; and coconut water microgreen pops.

Along with artful photography of plated dishes, this comprehensive cookbook includes a section on how to save money by easily growing your own microgreens at home year-round and a microgreens glossary.

A century ago the cocktail achieved perfection when, according to legend, Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender in Florence to stiffen an Americano by replacing the soda water with gin. The world never looked back. With its cosmically simple 1:1:1 ratio, its balance of bitter and sweet, its pleasant kick, its aura of sophistication, the Negroni has bewitched cocktail lovers ever since. Perhaps none more so than Matt Hranek, who intones this love song to his favorite drink and offers a curated collection of recipes, both the classic and dozens of variations, deviations, and delicious reinterpretations.

In 2019, the Negroni turned 100 years old, and it's more popular than ever. The drink's classic proportions are equal parts Campari, gin, and sweet vermouth, making it an easy cocktail to order and to make on your own. The Negroni will give readers insight into the drink's origins in Italy (it started as a twist on the Americano), and the tools to make over 20 simple variations from drink experts and bartenders around the world. Here's the Negroni Frappé from the famed bar Dante in New York City; the Negroni Spagliato from Bar Basso in Milan, where the gin is replaced with prosecco; and the author's own version, which goes heavier on the gin and lighter on the vermouth. Included will be details on garnish, bitters, tools, glassware; a section on the importance of the vermouth used; interviews with bartenders from around the world; where to get the best Negroni; and so much more. Beautiful original photography of the drinks along with archival imagery of famous Negroni lovers--like Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles--and vintage liquor ads make this gorgeous book an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a Negroni.

Recipes from the kitchens and restaurants of Italy's new culinary masters, who combine an innate sixth sense for quintessentially Italian flavor with a contemporary approach, defining an exciting new gastronomy.

Everybody loves Italian food. It is among the most talked about, written about, and globally popular. But as travelers have sought out culinary experiences in off-the-beaten-path destinations elsewhere in the world, in Italy even consummate foodies eat the same postcard versions of traditional dishes, occasionally making forays into a handful of fine-dining favorites. Yet by far the country's most interesting cuisine is to be found outside of well-trodden establishments, and it's as varied and full of personality as it is delicious.

This generation of chefs has come a long way from their nonna's kitchen: they approach tradition with a respectful yet emancipated perspective; they rethink the formats of the Italian restaurant; they are rediscovering foraging and farming; they introduce serious cocktail programs. This book covers thirty-two chefs and restaurateurs who are reinterpreting the "greatest hits" of Italian dining: from trattorias to fine dining, from aperitivo to pizzerias. Laura Lazzaroni takes her readers on a visual north-to-south tour of this new cucina italiana, stopping at restaurants, inns, farms, and pop-ups all across the country, showing in stories and recipes the multitude of approaches, influences, and ingredients that compose this movement, which is paving the way for the country's gastronomic rebirth.

About the Author:

Laura Lazzaroni is an award-winning journalist and the author of several previous culinary books in Italian. She was the first editor in chief of Food & Wine Italia, and has also worked as the features editor of L'Uomo Vogue and in New York for the weekly magazine of La Repubblica. Lazzaroni is also the co-author with 3-Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito of 10 Lezioni di Cucina (Giunti, 2015) and author of Altri Grani Altri Pani (Guido Tommasi Editore, 2017), and happily maintains a second line of work as bread consultant
