Cook them, as Beard recommends, and eat them as Beard recommends - the only classical way - with gusto. #2 BEARD ON BREADJames Beard Drawings by Karl W. Stuecklen A Borzoi Book, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., New York, NY, 1979, 11th PrintingHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is very good, jacket is protected in clear archival sleeve Here is the acknowledged dean of American cookery on his favorite subject - bread - sharing his know how, his prejudices, his delights. Crusty on the subject of the ersatz products commercially sold as bread, rapturous as he describes a homemade loaf that has the right texture and a good "nose," relaxed and masterful about the various techniques of kneading, shaping, and baking. James Beard is so persuasive about the simple and joyous art of breadmaking that once you give yourself up to this book and plunge your hands in the dough, you will become a confirmed bread maker for life.Richly illustrated with Karl Stuecklen's sketches, drawn on the spot while hands kneaded and turned, while the dough was rising in the bowl, or at the moment when a fresh, crusty loaf was first broken into, this is a book where text and pictures combine to convey the whole satisfying and rhythmic process of breadmaking. #3 THE MAN WHO ATE TOO MUCH The Life of James Beard John BirdsallW.W. Norton & Company, Inc., New York, NY, 2020 First EditionHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is very goodIn the first portrait of James Beard in twenty-five years, John Birdsall accomplishes what no prior telling of Beard's life and work has done: He looks beyond the public image of the "Dean of American Cookery" to give voice to the gourmet's complex, queer life and, in the process, illuminates the history of American food in the twentieth century.In stirring novelistic detail, The Man Who Ate Too Much brings to life a towering figure, a man who still represents the vest in eating and yet has never been fully understood - until now. This is biography of the highest order, a book about the rise of America's food written by the celebrated writer who fills in Beard's life with the color and meaning earlier generations were afraid to examine.This interesting book is illustrated with period black & white photographs.*********************************Please see our other listings of signed and unsigned cookbooks.... we are happy to combine shipping fees!USPS Media Rate postage will be calculated @ 5 pounds weightGRADUATE OF BOOK SEMINARS INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM HOW IT WORKS WITH US:In other words; the fine print!For those buyers who reside outside the U.S.,We are now enrolled in eBay's Global Shipping ProgramWe like to have our auctions completed in a timely manner.If we have not HEARD FROM the high bidder by the FOURTH day after the close of the auction, we will file an UNPAID ITEM DISPUTE with Ebay.PLEASE: Bid Only If You Intend To Complete The Transaction.THANKS for your understanding in these matters.We are proud to let you know that we try to be ecologically responsible, nearly all of our packing materials are recycled or reused.
