MEDITERRANEAN STREET FOOD
Anissa Helou, Guest Instructor
Anissa Helou, Guest Instructor As a child in Beirut, Anissa Helou longed for the enticing foods like grilled lamb sandwiches sold by the street vendors, but her parents told her girls from good families didn’t eat street foods. So these foods became the “forbidden fruit” for Anissa and have remained the focus of her travels as a food writer and author of such cookbooks as Café Morocco and Lebanese Cuisine. A resident of London and an extensive world traveler who speaks fluent French and Arabic, Anissa has carefully translated and tested these recipes for the American home kitchen: Hommus; Vegetable Fritters; Meat Bread; Feta Cheese Salad; Marinated Meat & Chicken Kebabs Served with Assorted Salads & Dips; and Moroccan Shortbread Served with Mint Tea. $65 (price includes one copy of the paperback book)

Thanksgiving Turkey from the office of Alice Waters

Dear Friends,

With Thanksgiving coming, we thought you might like to know how to order a Heritage Turkey. The Bourbon Red and the American Bronze are two of the several historic breeds of turkey that our forebears ate before the market was monopolized by the Broadbreasted White, developed in the 1950s and now the sole variety in large-scale production. The Bourbon Red and the American Bronze have firmer, darker meat with much more pronounced turkey flavor than the standard bird; they are both delicious. Frank Reese Jr., whose turkeys are directly descended from the birds of the 19th century, and his coalition of five small-scale turkey farmers are growing these birds, and Heritage Foods USA is helping to distribute them. They deserve our support!

Fall Dinners at Chez Panisse

Dear Friends,                  

Alice thought you might be interested in two special dinners that we will be hosting at Chez Panisse.

Zuni Café celebrates the artistry of Paula Wolfert

by Carolyn Tillie

On Thursday, October 13, 2005, Judy Rodgers and Zuni Café celebrated the release of Ms. Wolfert's completely revised and updated The Cooking of Southwest France.  The original seminal edition, published over 20 years ago, laid the foundation and opened the doors to a regional cuisine then considered exotic. In an era when building your own pizza on store-bought Bobboli crust was considered "cooking Italian," The Cooking of Southwest France introduced concepts of rustic sophistication of French cuisine to an English-speaking public.  In researching and revising her original tome, Paula enlisted the aid of a small group of enthusiastic supporters via the internet to test and retest both old and new recipes.
