Books are piling up on my desk again, and if I’m going to keep sitting here, something has to go.
If you want one, or more than one, please e-mail me at jennie.geisler@timesnews.com with your NAME, HOME ADDRESS and TITLE OF THE BOOK you’re interested in. You can put more than one request in your e-mail.
Here’s what I have:
“Ultimate Camp Cooking,” by Mike Faverman and Pac Mac, includes recipes you can cook over an open fire. The authors are also stand-up comedians. 208 pages, somewhat water resistant cover.
“Food From Many Greek Kitchens,” by Tessa Kiros, an elegant, beautiful, very heavy 333-page tome including elegant, beautiful recipes and photographs. Would work as a coffee table book, or highly sophisticated cookbook for advanced cooks interested in authentic Greek cuisine. Also contains stories and personal photographs.
“Tomatoland,” by Barry Estabrook, formerly a contributing editor at the defunct Gourmet magazine. It’s another in what’s become its own genre of anti-agribusiness exposes. This one is about what big business has done to the people who help raise tomatoes and other produce. Highly recommended with cover blurbs from Eric Schlosser (the Godfather of the genre), Ruth Reichl, Jacques Pepin and others.



I just sent a message, cant wait to read the books! Thanks so much!
