Reviews
Paul Prudhomme hails Nathalie Dupree's Matters of Taste "Never before have I read a book that better shows the importance of food in the human relationship. These poignant essays combined with easily prepared recipes bring nourishment not only to the stomach but to the heart and spirit. Nathalie Dupree has opened a new era in cookbooks!" Praise for Nathalie Dupree's New Southern Cooking "Atlanta's Nathalie Dupree has been one of the South's highly regarded cooking teachers, though a well-kept secret north of the Mason-Dixon line. Luckily, she is no longer a strictly regional treasure." -- Bert Greene, New York Daily News "Her emphasis on flavorful, authentic, easy-to-prepare recipes for a busy generation has made her TV's hottest chef sensation." -- Margaret Happel, Redbook "One of the biggest advocates of the new style of Southern cooking is Nathalie Dupree, a down-home belle who is known for her myriad cooking activities." -- Barbara B. Buchholz, St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Dupree believes that Southern food represents the finest and most distinctive regional cooking in America, and she wants to share it with the rest of the country." -- Carol Taylor, Mother Earth News
Synopsis
In her new book (and television series) Matters of Taste, Nathalie Dupree gives us recipes drawn from all over America, encompassing some of the diverse ethnic influences that make up today's melting-pot style of cooking. There are twenty-seven menus -- something for every occasion -- with recipes that are fresh, flavorful, varied, and often easy to prepare ahead. Coping with difficult dinner guests? Nathalie suggests a buffet-style dinner so that everyone can serve him- or herself -- wrapping Charcoal Rib-eye Steaks in tortillas or pancakes and choosing from a variety of sauces and condiments -- to help break down everyone's reserve. Inviting friends who are on a diet? Try the elegant Zucchini and Red Bell Pepper Soup, Chinese-style Asparagus and Chicken Breast, and Tiny Meringues with Lemon Yogurt and Strawberries. Planning a summer wedding feast for a crowd? A cool Spinach and Tortellini Salad, do-ahead Lemon-Roasted Cornish Hens, and a finale of Cream Puffs would be just the right thing. Why not make a special breakfast that will bring the whole family together? Perfectly poached eggs, Maple-Glazed Ham Steak, Baked Cheese-Grits Casserole, and Nut Bran Muffins are what Nathalie recommends. Knowing that the pleasures of food are invariably linked with moods and memories, Nathalie weaves around each menu a story taken from her popular newspaper column, which has been running in the Atlanta Journal/Constitution for the past two years. Above all, as a TV performer she has the gift of being direct, relaxed, and practical. She is the next-door neighbor sharing a recipe, offering advice and inspiration. And she is right here for us on every page of this beguiling book.

    Item as described - though listed as used, but it really appeared like a new item that I could find at a retail bookstore. Item packed without issue upon arriving, it was mailed quickly and it arrived much sooner than expected. The transaction went well. I'm happy with the item, and I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

    I would say it was as described, but it was actually even better than expected, really lovely item and came very well-packed for shipping. Lots of care taken in the handling for shipping. Price for both item and shipping cost were more than fair. I have a recipe book that came out two years after this one by the same publisher. My grandmother used it as a regular go-to cookbook her whole life & then it came to me & I still use it too. Very excited to now have this companion volume to go with it!
