The induction into the Restaurant Hall of Fame inspired Tom Wilscam to write a book to help others achieve the dream of owning a successful restaurant. Initially, Tom owned and operated several well-known restaurants in Colorado and then took his restaurants national. He co-owned two franchise companies, and consulted on the opening of over 80 restaurants across the country. Additionally, Tom founded a company that later became known as Einstein Bros. Bagels. Tom’s career has spanned the development of concepts in the major segment of the restaurant industry—- fast food, fast casual and fine dining. While there are many "how to" books devoted to the restaurant industry, there are few, if any, on the step-by-step specifics of how to open a restaurant. So You Want to Open a Restaurant begins with the necessary first step of writing a Business Plan, and covers the essential critical steps in detail that most novices might never consider. Included are humorous, personal anecdotes related to Tom’s 50 years in the industry. If ever you want the satisfaction of sitting in your own successful restaurant, Tom Wilscams book is a guide to a perfect opening. Knowledge, Experience, Success, it’s all in this book. I call it: savoir-faire — I am Pierre Wolfe, and I should know. — Pierre Wolfe, Celebrity Chef and Radio Talk Show Host This book is a well-thought-out primer for anyone who wishes to open a restaurant. Author Tom Wilscam is a legend in Colorado, having mentored many of today’s successful restaurant owners. Readers will be able to use Tom’s experiences, both good and bad, to get started in what is a very difficult, but very rewarding, business. The days of "Mama cooks good chili and daddy can pour the drinks" are long gone. Today’s restaurant operators must have a solid foundation in hospitality business management principles. This book provides a great outline to get started, as well as a wonderful, personal description of the challenges and rewards of the restaurant business. — Peter M. Meersman, President & CEO, Colorado Restaurant Association This is a fabulous book. Have you ever considered opening a restaurant?

Fields of Greens: New Vegetarian Recipes from the Celebrated Greens Restaurant


Fields of Greens: New Vegetarian Recipes from the Celebrated Greens Restaurant


$3.95


The opening of Greens Restaurant on San Francisco Bay in 1979 changed forever the image of vegetarian cooking in America. From the restaurant’s imaginative mix of casual elegance, exciting tastes, and a subtle message of health and harmony, a distinctive cuisine was born that has continued to bring joy to many thousands of diners every year as well as to the hundreds of thousands of readers who delight in "The Greens Cookbook." In its latest incarnation, the restaurant has evolved toward a lighter, leaner, simpler cuisine, one that keeps all the spirit and refinement of the original menu but depends more on the excitement of sparkling fresh produce and its integral relationship to the dishes it inspires. In close to 300 original recipes, the new Greens style includes exuberant salads, soups, the legendary crusty Greens pizzas, curries and hearty stews, grilled vegetables, and intriguing turnovers made with filo pastry, tortillas, and savory doughs. And of course there are heavenly breads and the famous desserts, like ginger pound cake with poached apricots and cherries. This cornucopia of brilliant dishes focuses on tantalizing tastes, with a new simplicity, clarity, and liveliness as its hallmark. Annie Somerville, the executive chef at Greens, goes right to the heart of the matter: extraordinary produce that’s bursting with flavor, color, and texture. Some of her favorites–like crinkly Bloomsdale spinach, candy-striped Chioggia beets, succulent Rosefir potatoes–are highlighted in the text for gardeners and farmers’ market aficionados. But the Greens style is above all accessible; ordinary red beets will be just fine if more exotic varieties are unavailable. To help with availability, there’s information on locating farmers’ markets throughout the country as well as sources for plants, seeds, and local resources. Because the garden is at the center of this book, readers are encouraged to try their hand, in tiny backyards and windowsill boxes if necessary. Invaluable growing tips are offered from Green Gulch Farm, the source of much of the stunning produce served at the restaurant. Other special features include a section on low-fat cooking and another on pairing wine with vegetarian food. All of the abundance and exuberance that the title "Fields of Greens" implies is here, for the novice as well as the expert, for simple last-minute meals as well as extravagant occasions. For truly inspired contemporary vegetarian cooking, "Fields of Greens" is the essential sourcebook. Annie Somerville trained under Deborah Madison, the founding chef at Greens Restaurant. Under Somerville’s guidance as executive chef, Greens has become a culinary landmark. Her work has been featured in "Gourmet, Food & Wine, Ladies’ Home Journal, SF, " and "California" magazine. She also contributed to "The Open Hand Cookbook" and "Women Chefs" cookbook.

The Fourth Star: Dispatches From Inside Daniel Boulud's Celebrated New York Restaurant


The Fourth Star: Dispatches From Inside Daniel Boulud’s Celebrated New York Restaurant


$9.89


For foodies restaurant fans and restaurant workers chefs and chef-wannabes and for everyone who devoured Kitchen Confidential here is a revealing look at what goes on behind the scenes at the world-renowned Restaurant Daniel as chef/owner Daniel Boulud strives for perfection-and for the New York Times’ top four-star rating. The hushed elegant atmosphere of a fine restaurant often conceals an intensely stressful workplace where highly trained underpaid staffers work backbreaking hours against impossible dead-lines often at the whim of a driven and demanding yet creatively gifted boss. New York’s Restaurant Daniel is one such place. With the complete cooperation of Chef Daniel Boulud author Leslie Brenner spent a full year at the restaurant getting to know the staff in the kitchen the front of the house and the manager’s office. And she reports on it all with a vivid immediacy: the maître d’ shuffling reservations when a VIP shows up unannounced the young pastry chef who gets passed over for a promotion (and then gets the last laugh) even the financial arrangements that keep the restaurant’s doors open for business. And underlying all the daily drama is Chef Boulud’s obsession with getting a fourth star from the New York Times. From the Hardcover edition.

The Arrows Cookbook: Cooking And Gardening From Maine's Most Beautiful Farmhouse Restaurant


The Arrows Cookbook: Cooking And Gardening From Maine’s Most Beautiful Farmhouse Restaurant


$32.89


Part how-to-garden primer, The Arrows Cookbook combines more than 150 delicious recipes with time-tested techniques for growing herbs, vegetables, and edible flowers in a book that reconnects us to the land and the seasons. Cooking food from the backyard garden or farmers’ market — or even using herbs grown in pots in a sunny window — goes beyond a passion for freshness. On an elemental level, the process reawakens the cook to a cycle of nature that our ancestors understood intuitively but that, for most of us, has been lost in the modern world. When chefs Clark Frasier and Mark Gaier left northern California to open their dream restaurant in southern Maine, they had no intention of becoming culinary pioneers. But in 1988 in Ogunquit, Maine, finding enough fresh vegetables and herbs to power a sophisticated restaurant was indeed a challenge. So, like all can-do Americans, they did something. A ragged field of witchgrass behind the restaurant was turned into a garden where they learned to coax a nine-month growing season out of the chilly earth. They built raised beds, saved seeds, researched heirlooms, consulted experts, and started seedlings. Today, that acre of Maine yields 270 varieties of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and edible flowers that provide 90 percent of the produce served at Arrows. Born of great necessity, the garden is the soul of this destination restaurant. In The Arrows Cookbook, Frasier and Gaier tell us how they do it, charting the timeless journey from seed to supper. Recipes celebrate each season — Asparagus with Mizuna and Blood Orange Vinaigrette and English Pea Soup in spring; Grilled Antipasto Platter and Rib-Eye Steak with Herbs and Caramelized Onions on a summer evening; Napa Cabbage and Apple Cole Slaw and Roast Pork Loin with Rosemary and Garlic for fall; and Escarole and White Bean Soup and Winter Greens with Pink Grapefruit and Red Onion for the chilly, short days of winter. They also offer new takes on such New England classics as Boiled Dinner, Our Way to Steaming Lobster — Southeast Asian Style, as well as a glorious Thanksgiving feast complete with Roast Turkey with Gravy. The book is full of clear advice and instructions that will make you elegantly self-sufficient in both kitchen and garden: how to smoke a trout, preserve herbs, use raised beds to extend the growing season, make your own prosciutto, start seeds indoors, roast salmon on a plank, maximize garden space, freeze berries, select edible flowers, grow heirloom tomatoes, pickle hot peppers, find local farmers and fisherman for fresh meats and seafood, and more.

Great day in the morning, <I>BakeWise</i> is out! You are holding the book that everyone has been waiting for. Sure enough, Shirley did not hold back — it’s all here. Lively and fascinating, <I>BakeWise</i> reads like a mystery novel as we follow sleuth Shirley while she solves everything from why cakes and muffins can be dry to génoise deflation and why the cookie crumbles.<P>With her years of experience from big-pot cooking for 140 teenage boys and her classic French culinary training to her work as a research biochemist at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Shirley manages to put two and two together in unique and exciting ways. Some information is straight out of Shirley’s wildly connecting brain cells. She describes useful techniques, such as brushing puff pastry with ice water — not just brushing off the flour — making the puff pastry easier to roll. The result? Higher, lighter, and flakier pastry. And you won’t find these recipes anywhere else, not even on the Internet. She can help you make moist cakes; flaky pie crusts; shrink-proof perfect meringues that won’t leak but still cut like a dream; big, crisp cream puffs; amazing French pastries; light génoise; and crusty, incredibly flavorful, open-textured French breads, such as baguettes and fougasses.<P>There is simply no one like Shirley Corriher.

New – Dining out can be marvelous. Or dining out can be disappointing from the moment you open the menu to the moment you sign the check. You need a guiding hand, a soothing voice to tell you just where the newest hot place is, which chef is on top of his or her game, where the ambience telegraphs romance.

 Happy Trails to You: Stories By Julie Hecht


Happy Trails to You: Stories By Julie Hecht


$10.99


Now in paperback, the newest collection of stories from the acclaimed author of Do the Windows Open?, Was This Man a Genius?, and The Unprofessionals—a brilliant, complex work that delivers more of the exquisitely funny and beautifully observant prose that draws ardent praise from critics and readers. <P>• An exceptional author: Julie Hecht’s fiction has appeared in The New Yorker and Harper’s, and her books have received spectacular reviews from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, Time, and many other publications. All of the author’s books have been named New York Times Notable Books. <P>• A singular character: At her first appearance, Hecht’s anxious, beguiling, and anonymous photographer-narrator was an instant literary icon. Her strategies—macrobiotics, herbal remedies, a bit of Xanax—for surviving civilization’s decline have established her as one of the most enthusiastically read voices of the last decade. <P>• Our postmodern world, re-examined: With an unwavering gaze on the absurdities and ironies of the larger world, Happy Trails to You recounts the narrator’s attempts to find a place of unspoiled nature on the once peaceful island of Nantucket, where power mowers, nail guns, and speeding trucks have blocked out the sounds of birdsong and crickets. A visit to a friend or restaurant touches upon every subject from the color of paint to the world situation and infinity.

In the past few decades, many of us have become sophisticated about food, but we have not given the same attention to what we drink. In <I>How to Drink</i>, Victoria Moore aims to redress the balance, by showing how to drink well throughout the seasons and at all times of day.<P>She explains how to make the most delicious coffee and juices; how to choose wine that complements your food; and how to make cocktails for every occasion–whether to serve a garden barbecue, as a cold weather aperitif, or just to unwind with at the end of the day.<P>Here are recipes for mint juleps in the spring, sloe gin in the autumn, hot buttered rum in the winter, and year-round showstoppers including the world’s best gin and tonic. Moore is also an impassioned advocate of unfairly maligned drinks such as sherry, Campari and saki, and gives fascinating historical background on different spirits as well as invaluable advice on creating your home bar.<P><I>How to Drink</i> is a hugely readable, browseable and authoritative handbook, whose aim is to inform, entertain and crucially, make sure you can find the right drink at the right time.<P>”It doesn’t need to be either difficult or expensive to drink as well as you eat, it just requires a little care…”<P>”A splendid book. Victoria Moore is quite right–it’s not how much you drink but how you drink.” –Fergus Henderson, chef and co-owner, St. Johns Restaurant<P>”I loved <I>How to Drink</i>. For the first time in years I have broken open a bottle of vodka for a Bloody Mary, remembered how much better mulled cider is than mulled wine, drawn a fresh kettle for tea…” –Joanna Weinberg, author of <I>How to Feed Your Friends with Relish</i><P>”Anyone who loves their food should heed this unmatchable tutorial in the art of enjoying drink; Victoria Moore succinctly puts every sip in lively context, banishing the guilt from the pleasure of it all.” –Rose Prince, author of <I>The New English Kitchen</i>

Princess and the Frog


$29.99


Set in New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century, The Princess and the Frog concerns a poor African-American girl named Tiana who has a knack for cooking, and dreams of opening her own restaurant. Her best friend since childhood is a privileged white girl whose wealthy father employs Tiana’s mother as a dressmaker. When the friend’s family hosts a party for Prince Naveen of Maldonia, Dr. Facilier, an expert in black magic, turns the visiting royal into a frog. The now amphibious Naveen convinces Tiana that a kiss will reverse the spell, and if she obliges him he’ll provide the money she needs to open her dream eatery. However, their smooch not only fails to turn him back into a human, but transforms Tiana into a frog as well. The duo then sets out to find a voodoo priestess who can set everything right. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
