At Home In France: Eating and Entertaining with the French

If you've been to France and sampled the legendary hospitality of the French, At Home in France will trigger a sensual, nearly palatable nostalgia. If you've never been, this is the next best thing to actually sharing a well-laid table in Provence or at an ancestral vineyard in the Beaujolais.Though raised in New York, author Christopher Petkanas has lived in France since 1982 and has cultivated a gourmand's taste and an artist's discerning eye. In At Home in France, he takes us to 18 different homes and regions to discover the art of entertaining and eating with the French. Disdaining the Western luncheon practice of eating "a nasty sandwich ... while polishing off at least two other tasks," Petkanas revels in the French "atmosphere of care, respect, and attention that is all the more engaging for being automatic."
We visit the home of Simone "Simca" Beck, a chef, author, and colleague of Julia Child, at her home behind the Riviera and learn the secret to her Fricandeau de Veau de la Ferme aux Champignons. Later we tour a cottage on Ouessant, a remote island in Brittany, where furniture was often made with the wood of shipwrecks and learn authentic recipes for mussels filled with anise-flavored butter and pollack steaks en papillotte with dried island seaweed.
The hospitality of the people who opened their lives to Petkanas is simply amazing and their histories as are fascinating as the ease with which they entertain. The photographs by Jean-Bernard Naudin are as beguiling and sumptuous as the meals and the homes themselves must be. Spend a few hours with At Home in France and learn for yourself l'art de recevoir. --Dana Van Nest

At Home with the French Classics
Richard Grausman Manufacturer: Workman Publishing Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0894806335 |
Book Description
Despite our growing kitchen savvy, many Americans still find French food too intimidating, too time-consuming, and too complicated. Richard Grausman, a well-known teacher of French cooking, has had a long-time mission to dispel this fear and make French cooking accessible and understandable to the American home cook. The result? AT HOME WITH THE FRENCH CLASSICS.This compendium of over 250 classic and traditional French dishes offers recipes that are not only approachable, but are also geared to the contemporary American lifestyle. The author has cut back on salt, fat, eggs, butter, and cream without any loss of authenticity or taste. The recipes have been streamlined by the use of modern appliances. Certain classic techniques, which are neither sensible for the modern kitchen nor vital for the recipe's success, have been revised or eliminated.
Mediterranean Fish Soup. Roquefort Cheese Souffle. Zucchini stuffed with Mushrooms and Ham. Broiled Baby Chickens with Herbs and Mustard. Poached Chicken with Creamy Tarragon Sauce. Pepper-Coated Steak with Cognac and Cream. Rack of Lamb with Watercress. And for dessert, Pears Poached in Port Wine, Chocolate Mousse, and Rich Vanilla and Chocolate Custards.
Starting with first courses and ending with after-dinner chocolates, the book contains dozens of possibilities for entertaining. Many of the dishes can be made ahead of time. Others can be made in stages, from days to weeks in advance. Selection of Better Homes & Gardens Family Book Service and Book-of-the-Month Cooking & Crafts Club. 82,000 copies in print.

Only One Cookbook? Make it "French Classics".......2005-07-09
Provides clear, easy instructions.......2003-03-10
Now that I have some time, I was very excited to find Rick's book on the shelf. I turned to page 270 and made my favorite dessert, Profiteroles au Chocolat. The instructions and illustrations are so clear and so easy that, for the first time in over 25 years, I made perfect Profiteroles! Armed with this confidence I went on and made all of my favorites, and they came out to perfection. Here is a book filled with foolproof recipes.
Last night I made Chicken with Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Olives, Riz Pilaf and a Grand Marnier Souffle along with Salade Verte. It was so much fun watching my guests enjoy great food.
Step by step, word for word, illustration by illustration - this is a great book and I highly recommend it.

At Home Cooks!.......2001-07-06
Take his recipe for genoise. Before listing the ingredients, he recommends warming the eggs in hot water instead of beating them over heat. He also describes the classic French preprations and why his vary. Usually less butter or eggs for health concerns. Or just because he thinks his way is better. Less sugar if it's too sweet.
Many of his recipes contain a short list of ingredients and are easy to prepare. His chocolate mousse calls for chocolate, eggs, butter, and cream of tartar. That's it. And you'll enjoy reading about all the wonderful dishes that you can create with this versatile mousse.
I think Richard's book is a classic.

Commodity Options Spectacular Profits with Limited Risk.......2004-05-23
The author should apologize...........2004-05-02
The apology was most necessary and appropriate....
Larry Spears and his publisher should do the same---not merely in the Times, but in every financial publication in America....
I have started this book six times and have never gotten past page 20. The typographical errors are beyond counting.... Even students in a remedial Community College writing course could do better editing....
Sadly, the title was exactly what I wanted. The book, however, is an insult to Financial Writing....

Very basic.......2005-11-19
A BOOK FOR ALL INVESTORS.......2003-08-14
The second half of the book involves investment technique and how to find good quality sound investments. Much of the information in this section is consistent with what the greatest value investor of all time, Warren Buffet might have written. I back-tested some of the author's ideas and was amazed to find that they really work.
I think it is extremely useful for any investor, novice or veteran. We all think we know what works, but it is easy to stray from disciplined investment protocol, especially during a bubble era. Following the defined investment approach that Plemenos espouses in this book will almost certainly insulate an investor from being mauled by a bear market and enhance market returns during the bull.
I really liked it.

Economic Imperatives and Ethical Values in Global Business: The South African Experience and International Codes Today
S. Prakash Sethi , and Oliver F. Williams Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792378938 |
Book Description
This book undertakes an in-depth study and a systematic analysis of the workings of the Sullivan Principles and their impact on: (a) the operations of the US corporation in South Africa; (b) the process of the dismantling of apartheid and creation of a non-racial, democratic government in South Africa; and (c) the actions of multinational corporations from other countries and large South African corporations in emulating the behavior of US multinational corporations and thereby enlarging their impact through a multiplier effect. The over-arching objective of this book is to learn from the experience of the Sullivan Principles, and interpret how this experience might be translated into developing `rules of the game' and `codes of business ethics' as large multinational corporations continue to confront the issues of human rights, living and working conditions of workers in their overseas manufacturing operations, and where there is constant pressure on the corporations to pay more attention to environmental protection, sustainable growth, and preservation of biodiversity. Furthermore, the ethical conduct of multinational corporations and transparency in their dealings with important stakeholders is an increasing concern. The authors bring to this analysis their combined experience of more than fifteen years working with business corporations, non-governmental organizations, and other segments of the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa during the formulation and implementation of the Sullivan Principles. In addition, they have been engaged in extensive research, teaching, and consultation on various aspects of business ethics and global codes of conduct. The analytical framework created by the authors will help multinational corporations to understand societal expectations of business within a normative, economic, and contextual framework, and to evaluate the likelihood of success or failure of various strategic options and implementation formats that might be available for use in a given situation.
