Discover 50 delicious curries from the kitchens across India.

India's greatest curries, made easy!

From world-famous classics to lesser-known regional specialties, 50 Easy Indian Curries is a collection of some of India's easiest (and most delicious) curries. With recipes for vegan dals, slow-cooked braises, coastal masalas, and fiery chicken, along with simple breads, rice, and curry pastes, this book teaches you how to create India's most loved food with ease and speed.

With "50 Foods," noted authority Edward Behr has created the definitive guide to the foods every food lover must know. A culinary "Baedeker, 50 Foods "will delight and inform the connoisseur as well as the novice.
Like Behr s celebrated magazine, "The Art of Eating, 50 Foods "presents simple, practical information about buying, using, preparing, and enjoying. Behr focuses on aroma, appearance, flavor, and texture to determine what the best means for each food. He tells you how to select top quality signs of freshness and ripeness, best season, top varieties, proper aging. If the way to prepare, serve, or eat something is little known, then he explains it (how to open an oyster, why the best way to cook green beans is boiling, how to clean a whole salted anchovy, when to eat and when to discard the rind of a cheese). Behr also names the most complementary foods and flavors for each of these fifty marvelous foods and the wines that go with them.
The fifty selections provide a broad sensory range for the modern gourmet. Most of the foods are raw materials, but some have been fermented or otherwise transformed into bread, ham, cheese. Six of the fifty are cheeses. As Behr explains, cheese is probably the best food, as wine is the best drink. Behr argues that food tastes more delicious when it is closer to nature. Skilled low technology is almost always superior to high technology. But with scientific insight, the old methods can be refined to achieve more consistent high quality.
We can t always have the best, but with the information in this book we can eat better every day. Knowing good food is part of a complete understanding of the world part of a full enjoyment of nature, a full experience of the senses, a full life.
For the connoisseur at any level, "50 Foods "is a beautifully written guide to deliciousness, with color illustrations by Mikel Jaso throughout."

The world of beer is undergoing a revolution. More beers and more beer styles are being brewed than ever before in the history of the best long drink on the planet. So it was no easy choice.

What will make the top 50, and will your favorite brew be included?

A love letter written in pie crust to every state in the union--a delicious portrait of the country with more than 50 recipes for extraordinary pies that taste just like home.

There's nothing quite so American as a slice of pie. That's what Stacey Mei Yan Fong learned growing up in Singapore and Hong Kong, watching movies set in the United States and dreaming about taking a road trip from coast to coast, stopping at diners along the way. After college in Savannah and a decade as a fashion designer, Stacey turned her passion for home baking into an ode to her chosen home: honoring the people, places, and flavors that made her love this country with a pie for each state.

Each pie is an impressive, whimsical tribute that encapsulates a state's unique flavors and honors its culture.
- For South Dakota, Stacey researched Indigenous ingredients with a Sioux nation chef to create her Wild Rice Pudding Pie.
- For Illinois, she created a Deep Dish Pumpkin Pie.
- For Nevada, she brought a Las Vegas all-you-can-eat-buffet into eight extraordinary savory and sweet slices.

And there are plenty of crowd pleasers, such as:
- Kentucky's Derby Pie with Blackberry Sauce
- Mississippi Mud Pie
- Idaho's Mashed Potato Pie with Hash Brown Crust and Scallop Potato Topping
- Georgia's Sweet Tea Peach Pie with Pecan Crumble
- North Dakota's Tater Tot Hot Dish Pie

With bonus pies to honor Stacey's trajectory from Southeast Asia to her Brooklyn home, like:
- A Pandan Custard Pie for her birthplace of Singapore
- A Kope Jahe Pie in honor of her childhood in Indonesia
- A Honey Peach Pie for her time at the Savannah College of Art and Design
- And a Bagel Order Pie to celebrate her new forever New York City home

Every pie is an opportunity to celebrate-or defend your home state's honor. Bake your way through and you'll taste the full range of flavors that America has to offer.

With recipes organized like the all-American roadtrip we've all wanted to complete, this book is a journey through the wonders of pie for bakers of all skill levels-and the story of one extraordinary woman who chose to make this place her home.
