无花果和其他食谱的盘子
by David Tanis (Artisan, $35)

In this collection of 24 seasonal menus, chef David Tanis (of Berkeley’s famed Chez Panisse) celebrates the simple grace of family-style eating. If many of the menus seem suited for special occasions—take, for example, the wonderfully wintry Slow Beef menu, which includes Watercress, Beet, and Egg Salad; Braised Beef with Celery Root Mashed Potatoes; and Roasted Apples—that’s because Tanis thinks everyday eating is a special occasion. With a disarming blend of seriousness and whimsy, Tanis nudges the reader toward spending and enjoying more time, not less, in the kitchen.

Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life
杰米·奥利弗（Jamie Oliver）（Hyperion，37.50美元）

For this cookbook, his eighth, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver found all the inspiration he needed right in his own back yard (where he happens to have an amazing vegetable garden), and his jovial zeal for seasonal cooking just might inspire you to cook your way through the entire book. Look to the fall chapter for game, mushroom, orchard fruit, and pickle recipes and to the winter chapter for winter salad, pastry, leek, and squash recipes. Oliver’s instructions are always generously detailed, and his chummy prose makes him as good a kitchen companion as one might hope to find in a book.

萨拉·詹金斯（Sara Jenkins）和敏迪·福克斯（Mindy Fox）（霍顿·米夫（Houghton Miffl），35美元）

那里不乏地中海风格的食谱，因此对厨师萨拉·詹金斯（Sara Jenkins）和食品作家敏迪·福克斯（Mindy Fox）表示敬意，以提供充满惊喜的一本。It’s a delight to discover that there are plenty of new dishes and cooking techniques to try, such as a surprisingly delicious Strawberry Risotto that’s deeply flavored and not at all sweet, and a multigrain tabbouleh in which the bulgur is softened in lemon juice rather than cooked. These recipes, like all the others in this appealing book, are guided by simplicity—further proof that humble ingredients produce the most amazing fare.
