Now she’ll have to turn up the heat on the investigation before Chef Savannah finds herself slinging hash in a prison cafeteria.

In this exquisitely designed and photographed volume, Britain's favourite Italian chef brings forth the work of a lifetime: combining old Locatelli family stories and recipes with the contemporary must-have dishes from his celebrated London restaurants. 'I am an Italian chef who has cooked in Paris and come of age in London, ' says Giorgio Locatelli. 'Innovative, imaginative food is what people expect from me, but everything I do has its roots in classical, regional Italian cooking.' This is the book that fans of Locatelli have been waiting for ever since he first made his name at Zafferano. The recent opening of Locanda Locatelli, widely regarded as one of the most exciting restaurants in London, has fuelled interest in this master chef. Locatelli lights up Locanda with his big, welcoming personality, seamlessly marrying style with an all-Italian mission simply to bring people together at the table to share food, relax and enjoy good company and conversation. In the same way, his delight in food shines through on every page of this exciting new book. Whether he is reminiscing about the dishes of his native Lombardy, suggesting a starter combining the simplest and freshest ingredients, or explaining how to make the ultimate risotto, Locatelli transports the reader into his own kitchen to savour the real tastes of Italy. Full of the insight and historical detail you might expect from a food writer, combined with the hands-on expertise of a top chef, peppered with evocative stories, and funny and often outspoken observations on the state of food today, this is the contemporary Italian food bible, from the acknowledged master of modern Italian cooking.

I love Enzo's unique vision of modern Italian cooking. He is a creative chef and restaurateur, and shares his passions and challenges for both in this book. Try his recipe for raw onion salad, crispy and delicious; I love the texture of the onion petals layered with caviar. A puree of anise over a perfectly cooked fish, a rabbit in artichoke prosciutto crepinette, or his pasta with Parmesan parsley foam; all inspire me to dream in culinary Italian. Chef Michel Richard, 2007 James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Chef in America Award winner and author of "Happy in the Kitchen." I had the pleasure of meeting Enzo when he was only 17 and at the beginning of his culinary career. I have always admired his talents, his artistic work and enjoyed his friendship. "Visual Eats" tells decades of realistic restaurant stories while its recipes help to spread a better understanding of great Italian cooking across America. Bravo, Enzo. I am proud of you! Chef Roberto Donna, 1996 James Beard Award winner and Esquire magazine Chef of the Year for 2001 I enjoyed reading "Visual Eats." It is a wonderful cookbook and a spot on approach in telling realistic and funny tales of the restaurant industry. Love Enzo's creativity and his precise details in executing all the featured dishes. His vision of modern Italian cooking breaks away from traditionalism in a fun and playful way while preserving the essence of quality and professionalism. "Visual Eats" is a perfect marriage of words and recipes.

Offering a panoramic view of the history and culture of food and drink in America with fascinating entries on everything from the smell of asparagus to the history of White Castle, and the origin of Bloody Marys to jambalaya, the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink provides a concise, authoritative, and exuberant look at this modern American obsession. Ideal for the food scholar and food enthusiast alike, it is equally appetizing for anyone fascinated by Americana, capturing our culture and history through what we love most--food! Building on the highly praised and deliciously browseable two-volume compendium the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, this new work serves up everything you could ever want to know about American consumables and their impact on popular culture and the culinary world. Within its pages for example, we learn that Lifesavers candy owes its success to the canny marketing idea of placing the original flavor, mint, next to cash registers at bars. Patrons who bought them to mask the smell of alcohol on their breath before heading home soon found they were just as tasty sober and the company began producing other flavors. Edited by Andrew Smith, a writer and lecturer on culinary history, the Companion serves up more than just trivia however, including hundreds of entries on fast food, celebrity chefs, fish, sandwiches, regional and ethnic cuisine, food science, and historical food traditions. It also dispels a few commonly held myths. Veganism, isn't simply the practice of a few "hippies," but is in fact wide-spread among elite athletic circles. Many of the top competitors in the Ironman and Ultramarathon events go even further, avoiding all animal products by following a strictly vegan diet. Anyone hungering to know what our nation has been cooking and eating for the last three centuries should own the Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink.
