What cookbooks have you bought recently, or are you lusting after? October 2013 edition!
- buttertart Sep 30, 2013 05:17 PM
Here we go with our new thread...trying to stay away from Amazon UK...I know I will be indulging in a number of the new crop, however. How about choo?
Essential Pepin, just waiting on delivery now.
Jacques Pépin New Complete Techniques
re: Sneef
I am so happy to have the New Complete Techniques! Long ago I left behind La Technique in a move, and this is more than a replacement. Bigger, and better. And though thick, it's compact enough not to be hard to use.
Just this week it helped me make something I haven't in decades: a classic omelet (with an omelet pan that was left behind at the same time, recently replaced via ebay. Now the SO wants to make one dinner a week omelet night; you bet. Thanks, M. Pepin.
re: ellabee
Is this the one that came out last year?
re: buttertart
Yes, it was part of last fall's torrent of appealing releases. I'd recommend to anyone as an outstanding reference, a great gift for young cooks who show signs of enthusiasm.
The pictures are significantly improved over the original 1970s book. Given its reasonable price, I thought more members at Eat Your Books would have it by now, but think/hope it may be one of those books that will sell a healthy number of copies year after year, over a long period.
re: buttertart
I got the Pepin at a nice discount at the Good Cook during the buggy launch of their new website. I got a couple of other things that had been on my wishlist that I've really enjoyed -- The Farm, by Ian Knauer, for instance.
But now I need to buy one more book (at a regular price) to fulfil my membership requirement so I can quit -- and I'm just not drawn to anything. A dull but useful reference like The Substitutions Bible is seeming like the best bet...
I didn't have a chance to report on new acquisitions and here it is.
Muffin Tin
Vegan Secret Suppers
Have not cooked from either yet - why not, you ask; and I hang my head in shame as I have no answer to this very reasonable question.
River Cottage Veg. Flipped through it at my daughter's; made ratatouille and fell in love. Came home, ordered and made ratatouille again - still in love. Have many recipes marked and making Quinoa with Zucchini and Onion on Wednesday for lunch with a friend; it will be side dish to Joan Nathan's Honey-Coated Baked Chicken with Preserved Lemons.
It is not a vegetarian book but a vegetable one which appeals to me as I am trying to make my daily meals more veg-centric without using fake foods that imitate animal proteins - I would rather have the real thing in moderation.
re: jpr54_1
I work at Amazon. Imagine how hard it is for me? :(
re: eperdu
George Lang's Cuisine of Hungary. I am getting ready to give Dear Daughter her inheritance, so I have been purging doubles and never used.
Forgot the couple of years when this was the first book to be grabbed for inspiration. Trips to Vienna tantalized, but the iron curtain kept me out. Loved reading the history and making the dishes. A blast from the 1970's. She will get this, but I only have 3 more weeks to have fun.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
this is one of my favorites-
it was also one of the first cookbooks
re: INDIANRIVERFL
Funny, we had Lang's version (more or less) of chicken paprikash with dumplings last night for dinner. yum.
re: INDIANRIVERFL
I'm planning to pick up a copy of All About Braising this week.
I am very excited about Tartine No 3 in November. I might preorder that one while I'm at it.
I lust for "My Calabria" by Rosetta Costantino, but my wife won't let me have any more cookbooks. I only have about 200 cookbooks just because I like to read them. I had to borrow this book from our local library.
Still waiting on the Pok Pok cookbook. Release is Oct 29.
re: ARenko
Me Too, mine did not come today it was pre ordered from amazon:(
"Mighty Spice Express" just showed up at my front door, and it looks WONDERFUL.
re: pikawicca
I made the Goan chicken the other night and it was a big hit.
re: pikawicca
I've pinned it to my wishlist so hopefully someone will buy it for me. Can't wait to get my heads on this.
Also lusting after Nigel Slater's Eat.
re: lilham
I already succumbed and it should be with me tomorrow or Friday. Yay!
re: greedygirl
It arrived yesterday and I haven't even finished paging through it yet. I love it though - I think it's his best book for ages.
re: greedygirl
My copy arrived 2 days ago and I've only read about a third of the book but everything looks great so far. It's not yet indexed on EYB though.
re: Gio
I made my first recipe tonight and it was a hit. Maximum flavour for minimal effort. I will report in the general Nigel Slater thread.
re: pikawicca
I've just gotten my copy too. I think the fact that I lasted until October without buying myself any cookbooks (aside from the one for my kindle) is pretty impressive. Of course mother's day brought a small bonanza and my husband's trips abroad and friends added to my collection ... but that doesn't count, rightt?? Anyway, very excited about MSE.
David Lebovitz has a new cookbook coming out..
re: rstuart
That sounds like a must-have.
re: The Dairy Queen
Will be for me!
re: rstuart
Ordered and on its way to moi as I type.
re: roxlet
Oh yes... all the books I pre-ordered seem to be shipping now. Just more birthday gifts for me to open!
re: Caitlin McGrath
OK. I think I better take a furlough from life for a while.
I totally misread the advisory. This is what it said,
" Your estimated delivery date is:
Friday, April 11, 2014 -
Tuesday, April 15, 2014"
I have several books arriving soon I got confused. Sorry, yet again. Thanks Caitlin.
re: Gio
re: Gio
No-no-no, don't take furlough from life - we'll miss you terribly and you'll get no compensation :) April sounds like October after a glass of wine, doesn't it ?
Twist of the Wrist just arrived today, but I haven't really had a chance to look through it yet.
Well, for $15 on Amazon, I couldn't resist getting Martha Stewart Cakes. I'll have it on Friday.
Just spent an hour in the cookbook section at B&N in Union Square (they have a great selection) and a few piqued my interest:
The New Midtwestern Table
Amalia's Guatamalan Kitchen (the chapter on stews looks fantastic!)
Gran's Kitchen: Recipes from the Notebooks of Dulcie May Booker (beautiful and the majority of the recipes seem to be focused on New Zealand baking)
re: rasputina
That does look like a good one. I'll have to take a look at it in a bookstore. I'm thinking this would be a good one to put on my Christmas Wishlist for mr bc.
re: emily
Union Square was a past COTM emily and you'll find lots of inspiration in those threads.
Coincidently I just made mr bc's favourite antipasti ever from that book....The Fagioli alla Toscana is outstanding and a dead ringer for an exceptional version of the dish that first won us over in Rome.
No plans to buy anything this month. I still have plenty of newer cookbooks that I need to explore more. I'm going to take another look at Pati's Mexican Table and Barbecue Addiction this weekend before I make my shopping list for the grocery store. I'm also continuing my weekend baking series and working out of the Bouchon Bakery cookbook. That's more than enough to keep me busy for a long time!
I might buy something new later in the month if the COTM interests me. Haven't participated in that since May.
We pulled over for a church rummage sale and I was delighted to pick up the following 2 books for $1 :
THE CAKE BIBLE by Rose Levy Beranbaum - first edition in pristine condition. Looks like it was never used.
MORNING GLORIES - RECIPES FOR BREAKFAST, BRUNCH AND BEYOND FROM AN AMERICAN COUNTRY INN - by Donna Leahy
Actually one of the lovely ladies at the sale also tucked another book into my bag. It's a Tailgating cookbook by Taste of Home Magazine. Old me would have kept it but new me plans to give it to my God daughter who is a big sports fan and just learning to cook.
re: Breadcrumbs
WOW. The Cake Bible for $1. You have the best thrift store/rummage sale mojo ever BC!
re: rstuart
Actually it was 50¢ rstuart...I got the pair for $1 !!! - both books are hardcover as well. I also got a beautiful antique pedestal glass fruit bowl for $1 and 2 old English ironstone hotel ware fruit nappy-sized bowls for 25¢ a piece. It made me wish we'd arrived earlier. I think the threat of rain scared people away!
re: Breadcrumbs
Even if you're downsizing your cookbook collection, the Cake Bible is very much worth having! We'll forgive you this time :)
re: roxlet
re: buttertart
Part of me is excited about the day when I have time to bake from all my wonderful books and the other part of me just hopes that at that point in my life we still want to eat baked goods or know others that do!!!
re: roxlet
re: buttertart
How does that book look on the Kindle/iPad? Does it have the photos next to each recipe?
re: roxlet
Haven't checked yet.
re: roxlet
I'm enjoying my MS Cakes very much. I made the Walnut Olive Oil cake with Apple Compote and Cream Fraiche this past weekend for a dinner party and it was a big hit among our guests. The cake itself was moist, not too sweet. I added sugar, however, to the apple compote and the home made cream fraiche.
Looking forward to doing more baking from this book. I pulled out MS Pie and Tarts for holiday planning. It is a keeper, as well.
re: pagesinthesun
re: buttertart
How does the book look on the iPad?
re: roxlet
The pics appear as a separate page before each recipe mo portrait view and beside each on landscape. Very satisfactory.
Krazy 'bout Kindle, which is essentially replacing TGC for me. In the past few weeks:
A Passion for Baking, Marcy Goldman
Martha Stewart's Cakes: Our First-Ever Book of Bundts, Loaves, Layers, Coffee Cakes, and more
One Bowl Baking: Simple, From Scratch Recipes for Delicious Desserts, Yvonne Ruperti
The New Midwestern Table: 200 Heartland Recipes,
Amy Thielen
And food writing:
Blue Plate Special: An Autobiography of My Appetites,
Kate Christensen
One Soufflé at a Time: A Memoir of Food and France
Anne Willlan, Amy Friedman
Food and Social Media: You Are What You Tweet (AltaMira Studies in Food and Gastronomy), Signe Rousseau
Stop me before I 1-click again :)
I just got a new 1/2" thick baking steel so i've been looking around for a good pizza book. Pizza: Award-Winning Pies for the Home Kitchen by Pete Evans came in for me but I have yet to cook from it (part of the hesitation is I feel like im intruding in my aunt's territory if I were to make a pizza.) Pizza: Seasonal Recipes from Rome's Legendary Pizzarium by Gabriele Bonci is about to be released tomorrow and im probably going to buy that as well.
Other than that...baking-wise, im just waiting for Four & Twenty Blackbirds.
Daniel:My French Cuisine and The Gramercy Tavern Cookbook is on my list as well.
Then theres Pok Pok but I dont really plan to buy it. David Thompson is my go to for Thai food but im willing to check it out of the library to see if he includes the real fish sauce chicken wings recipe they use in their restaurant. The recipe Andy Ricker gave to Food&Wine isn't it and hes obviously withholding a secret. >:(
He needs to give it up already.
re: PrinceZuko
Pizza: Seasonal Recipes from Rome's Legendary Pizzarium and Southern Italian Desserts are waiting on my doorstep.
re: emily
emily and PZ, have either of you been to Pizzarium? We love Rome, we love pizza and we especially love pizza in Rome but I hadn't heard of this place. I'm curious now...
To me, what makes pizza in Rome so special is a wood fire oven. I'd love to get mr bc one some day...when the prices drop here in the Great White North.
re: Breadcrumbs
Here's what Elizabeth Minchilli has to say about Pizzarium:
"Most famous pizza place in Italy? Possibly."
Via della Meloria 43 (near Vatican, metro Cipro
re: Breadcrumbs
No, I've eaten pizza in Rome that was a similar style, but not at Pizzarium...
I am loving Southern Italian Desserts. So many interesting recipes and beautiful pictures.
re: Breadcrumbs
Haven't eaten there but would love to. Anyone called "the Michelangelo of pizza" must be good. Like Gio mentioned, the Pizzarium has an extremely high reputation. Both CNN and Vogue have said his pizza is the best.
And actually, in Rome, pizza isn't made in a wood fire oven. The pizza in Rome is Pizza al Taglio which is normally made in an electric oven.
re: PrinceZuko
We bought a baking steel this summer, as well. It makes some amazing pies!
My all time favorite pizza cookbookbook is American Pie by Peter Reinhart. It's a must have for home pizza bakers.
re: elenacampana
I am looking forward to it, but I must admit, I wonder how I am going to get the ingredients they will use here in NC.
re: LulusMom
You might just.
When i think of Venice and its food, I tend to think more interms of octopus and other fish that may not find their way over to Raleigh (actually....Morrisville).
We have a hard enough time with Asian ingredients (we mostly cook Chinese/Thai).
re: Westy
So I did stop by WFs yesterday and asked about octopus. He says that they used to carry it, but given that it is in the red zone (endangered) they don't so so any more. Have you tried any of the Asian places in the area? Might be worth a shot, although i can't remember having an Asian octopus dish.
re: LulusMom
Thanks for the update.
I am pretty sure I can ask over at Ocean Depot. I am less a fan of the big Asian markets over in Cary.
re: LulusMom
These octopus balls are a regular of my childhood
re: lilham
I'm happy to be proven wrong, and those look delicious.
Westy, have you tried the Durham Asian store - that big one that opened a couple of years back? I haven't, but it might be nicer than the Cary stores. And we can keep our fingers crossed for the new mall.
re: LulusMom
I've seen frozen octopus at grand Asia market in cary.
I stopped into Williams Sonoma and perused the "of the day" series. I liked the offerings in One Pot of the Day, but I have several books that cover similar recipes. I'll most likely wait until it is cheaper in the used section of Powell's. OTOH, Salad of the Day is calling my name. I don't have a salad cookbook.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
I've had the salad and the veg "of the day" books on my wishlist for a few weeks now. I wouldn't mind having the whole series.
re: pagesinthesun
Me too, I wish they sold it as a set.
re: free sample addict aka Tracy L
I like these also and I looked at The Dessert of the Day at WS. It looks interesting although truthfully may not offer anything particularly new but the format is appealing.
re: buttertart
Now is a good time :)
re: buttertart
Oh it's out? I knew it was being released but forgot the date. Please post a review, I have a love/hate relationship with them.
re: buttertart
I caved on this one too, as well as Martha Stewart Cakes and Against all Grain (ironic combination, don't you think?). Darn Costco! I am really trying to be good but Fall is such a hard time, since so many cookbooks are released. Then there is TGC sales....
On my "to get" list:
1. Nora's dinners
2. Susan Spicer's cookbook (forgett eh name). Will wait until I can get a good, used cheap copy
3. Bistrode
4. Thinking about getting "treme" Not so much because I like the show, but i would really, really like to cook more NO recipes. I have Mr. B's cookbook, but it is a little more complicated than i am apt to make.
5. The Eagle. Gotta love gastropubs
6. John Besh's Family cookbook. Will wait for Christmas unless I see a great deal.
re: The Dairy Queen
Just what i saw in a bookstore. it looks very good.
re: The Dairy Queen
Do you (or anyone else) have a good NOLA cookbook in mind?
re: Westy
I'm definitely not the best person to answer that question, but if you want a John Besh NOLA one, you want "My New Orleans" not "My Family Table." My family table isn't especially regional...
Here's a pretty comprehensive (albeit older) thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/688279
re: The Dairy Queen
I strongly agree with the My New Orleans recommendation over My Family Table. I love the former and have yet to find an occasion to make anything from My Family Table.
The Folse Encyclopedia listed by Rasputina below is probably overkill for most people but it is a beautiful and thoroughly comprehensive tome.
re: The Dairy Queen
My appetite for cookbooks last year well surpassed my time to cook from them so I've made a concerted effort to not buy many new ones until I get around to cooking at least one dish from every book I bought last year.
I think I am going to have to break down and buy Valerie Gordon's Sweets though soon:
which is easily worth the price if only to read the recipe for the Blum's Coffee Crunch Cake.
re: bg90027
I was looking at that earlier, but it seems there are some flavor combinations of which I am not terribly fond. Let us know how it is if you get it.
re: Westy
"Do you (or anyone else) have a good NOLA cookbook in mind?"
The Picayune's Creole Cook Book
Who's Your Mama, are you Catholic and can you make roux? books 1 and 2 by Marcelle Bienvenu
Louisiana Real and Rustic by Emeril Lagasse
The Encyclopedia of Cajun and Creole Cuisine by John Folse
After the Hunt by John Folse
Hooks, Lies and Alibis by John Folse
The New Orleans cookbook by Richard Collin
Besh's My New Orleans is also good as is
Real Cajun by Donald Link and
Pirates Pantry by the junior league of Lake Charles
Obviously I added some cajun cookbooks in there
re: Westy
My mother's family is from Abbeville, LA. The only Louisiana or Cajun cookbook she uses is Alex Patout's Cajun Home Cooking. She always has a home made dark roux in the fridge. We made an okra/eggplant/tomato casserole last weekend. It was great!
I need to get a copy of this for myself.
re: The Dairy Queen
I have it, but I prefer his My New Orleans cookbook.
I'm looking seriously at the Balaboosta cookbook. Don't know if it would be overkill with my Ottolenghi collection...
re: Harters
I pre-ordered this because I loved the program. I feel the book is a great collection of his found recipes from the program.
I learned quite a bit.
re: Harters
Funnily enough, I have a guest visiting from Australia, and he is currently reading Rick Stein's memoirs. He says he's met him a few times because he (apparently) spends half the year in Australia now with his new wife. I got all excited about the connection and I think my friend was a *little* weirded out.
re: LulusMom
Just a note to say that my visiting friend gave me his copy of the Rick Stein memoirs, which I thought was very kind. Not sure this counts in any serious way for this thread, but he is a cook ...
re: Harters
Fun. Hi Harters! Hope all OK at your end, long time no communicate!
re: buttertart
Hi, there. Things good with me. Better for you than when we last chatted?
I was at Costco today and there sat winking at me Fresh and Light by Donna Hay - very nice looking and sounding recipes at a first glance and so it came home with me. It is indexed on EYB which is always a bonus.
Going to make Crispy Lemon Fish (cod) with yogurt tartar tomorrow - sounds delicious and will be a good test of how my expectations are met:)
re: LulusMom
It accompanied his Channel 4 series. I usually like Hopkinson (he comes from my part of the world, by the way) but I found the series surprisingly disappointing and havn't bought the book.
re: Harters
Nerts. Well, at least I feel fairly sure that he'll be good company, even if the recipes aren't that appealing. And yes, of course he's from your part of the world - you have similar charms ...
thegoodcook.com is having a sale this weekend. All books are $12.99, including unreleased titles. I bought two for my husband's upcoming birthday -- the new Patricia Wells (her bistro book is one of his all time favorites), and the Grand Central Station Oyster Bar Cookbook, which is one of his favorite places to stop for a meal when he's between town and his train. I think he'll enjoy both. For myself, I got the Payard Pastry Book. I'm mulling a couple of others, but I may stop here.
re: roxlet
Just an iPhone sale to Gazelle - they give you a bit extra if you choose an Amazon GC.
re: buttertart
Peyton and Byrne
re: buttertart
I'm making the Potato + Chicken Curry from My Vietnamese Kitchen for lunch today.... extremely tasty.
I just picked up All About Braising and The Kinfolk Table.
Next month I'm limited to one purchase! Tartine No. 3, which I'm so excited for.
Re the CI Baking book: I think anyone who had any interest whatsoever in baking but never tried it could have excellent results with this. The recipes are great, and include most of the baking recipes from the last few years, as far as I can see.
re: emily
I have that and I thought tons of stuff looked good in it too, but I haven't managed to make anything yet. Am seriously considering starting a "cooking from" thread on it just to kick myself in the behind.
Just bought "The French Market Cookbook" for my brother..
Looks really good (and fellow Canadians: I got it for $15 at Homesense!
)Also got Elinor Klivan's Slice and Bake cookies for my mother; will give it to her at Christmas. I may need to test it...
re: rstuart
I love her.
Yesterday I snagged the last copy of the Cook's Illustrated Baking Book at Costco. Like most of the Cook's various tomes, this seems to be largely a rehash of material covered in their other books. Despite that, it's great to have the baking recipes all together in one place. Today I made the Almond Biscotti, and they were a hit with my son.
re: roxlet
My Costco just replaced their book table with Christmas items. I'm sad...
I am deciding between
In the charcuterie: the fatted calf
Charcuterie by ruhlman
Any thoughts?
On Andrea Nguyen's suggestion I bought "Vietnamese Street Food" It is delightful. My copy arrived this afternoon. It was written by Tracey Lister and Andreas Pohl. She runs a cooking school in Hanoi. Originally published in 2008 in Australia and then London, Measurements are in metrics so get your scales out.
The book is broken in to 5 different chapters Rools (wrapped rolls like spring rolls, Grilled and Roasted, Boil Steam, Fry, Baguettes/Salad,Sweets, Sauces and Condiments.
My only problem is what to make for dinner tonight. Everything is so inviting. If you like Vietnamese food you are going to want this book.
re: Westminstress
Great deal! I did the same thing - twice out of the library and then I realized I really needed to own it. Haven't regretted it for a moment.
re: LulusMom
Add me to the same twice-checked-out-then-bought-and-glad-I-did club!
re: Caitlin McGrath
Is there a list for "bought it on everyone's recommendation without even checking it out"? Cuz, I'm on that list.
re: The Dairy Queen
I'm right beside you, TDQ. Although, I had her Plenty already and liked those recipes too.
re: The Dairy Queen
Check it out first, TDQ. I took it out of the library too and returned without making Thing One!
re: The Dairy Queen
The balsamic chicken we made a few weeks ago was very good and everything fit on a single sheet pan.
re: Westminstress
Oh I love anything that results in fewer dirty dishes.
re: The Dairy Queen
Me too, and there are a bunch of (especially chicken) recipes that fit the bill in this book.
i'm sure a bunch of people have mentioned these already but i'm currently loving Jersulame and Plenty by Ottolenghi. I'm currently coveting Ottolenghi which is now available in the U.S.
re: wontonfm
I just got Ottolenghi as a birthday gift - I will say that of the three, Jerusalem is still my favorite, but Ottolenghi has some very intriguing recipes, too.
I also bought Keepers on Kindle - my first Kindle cookbook. Nothing groundbreaking (especially if you've been cooking out of Ottolenghi) but lots of recipes that look appealing and fit into my lifestyle.
re: Savour
Please let us know if you try anything out of keepers. I have that book too and am very excited by it, but haven't cooked anything out of it yet.
re: The Dairy Queen
I was going to make the deviled chicken thighs last night, but my mom offered to feed me her homemade stuffed cabbage instead, so I accepted. Will probably make it some time this week.
re: Savour
You made the right call. :)
re: The Dairy Queen
OK, I buckled down and cooked out of Keepers - nothing fancy - just the deviled chicken thighs (chicken thighs dipped in an egg/mustard/spice mixture and then breaded with panko/parmesan and baked) and two of the "toasts" - the mushroom, where you cook mushrooms with shallots, deglaze with wine, add a bit of cream, and fresh tarragon, and the broccoli, which is basically cooked broccoli with lemon and cheese. Both were great - very good versions of dishes I've had before. I actually love the idea of the toasts for dinner - they looked like appetizers on the plate but ended up being a surprisingly satisfying meatless Monday meal.
I can see myself turning to this pretty often for ideas, although I wish I had gotten the hardcover - it was my first Kindle cookbook purchase that I've really tried to use and I prefer flipping through a book. The recipes lend themselves well to variations.
re: Savour
Thank you for reporting back! The deviled chicken thighs are on my list, actually. Were they too spicy for an adventurous toddler?
re: The Dairy Queen
Not spicy at all. I was a little light on the cayenne, probably, but both kids (6 year old who thinks raisins are spicy, and 18 month old who eats everything) gobbled them up.
re: Savour
Savour, could you share the spice mixture recipe? The rest seems self-explanatory. We love chx thighs, and I'm always looking for new ideas. Thanks.
re: pine time
Off the top of my head, it was some herbs (I think dried tarragon but I used herbes de provence), dijon mustard, garlic powder and cayenne plus s+p. Just threw pinches in with the eggs, dunked the chicken, and then mixed with panko, parmesan and a little melted butter.
re: Savour
Keepers wasn't on my radar. Thanks!
The New Midwestern Table, Amy Thielen
LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. It arrived yesterday and I just got a chance to look at it tonight. So smart and beautiful and real. I kept calling out recipes to my husband (born and raised Minnesotan) as I flipped though the book and he was so excited to have some of these.
Thank you to rasputina to encouraged me to have a look at this book sooner rather than later. Here's what I have marked so far. Most of it leans very seasonally in the winter/fall direction, but there is a lot of nice spring and sumer stuff, too.

And I've often been hard on my fellow Twin Citean Andrew Zimmern, but I love what he says about this book "Thielen has done the impossible, breaking new ground on a well-worn food meme and defining the food of our "place" in a way that's never been done before. Beautifully written, culturally meaningful, and loaded with brilliant cookery..."
re: The Dairy Queen
P.S. when I said above that "most of it" leans towards winter, I meant most of what I selected and listed above. The book has recipes from all seasons.
Her blog:
Wild rice recipes (I don't think all of these are in the book):
Food Network recipes:
On Food.com (take care--the title says 20 recipes, but it's actually only the first 6 or 7 that are hers):
On MPR:
Food & Wine:
In the Mpls Star Tribune:
And if you want to see the pieces for which she won the James Beard Award (on beans, walleye, and mortar and pestle) plus read a quick snippet about her second book on, here: http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/...
Star Tribune archives with some of her essays here:
In the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
And, darn, she was speaking just a few miles from my house about a week ago and I missed her. :(
re: The Dairy Queen
I posted a Cooking From thread for it http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/921430
I hope you don't mind I added the very useful info you posted, in this thread, to it
re: The Dairy Queen
I am going to keep an eye for your posts on this cookbook. Sounds really good.
re: The Dairy Queen
I'm glad you are loving it too. We need a "cooking from" thread for this cookbook!
I've spent the last few weeks reading her blog and copied some recipes and enjoyed her posts about pig butchering. Especially since we just went through this a few months ago when my husband, step father and nephew went hog hunting and came back with I think it was 6 hogs?
re: rasputina
That's a lot of hogs! Thank you for starting the thread. I'm glad you found the links helpful and hope others will, too.
AOC, Pok Pok and The Four & Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book arrive next week!
From the Eater preview of Blackbirds:
And these are (mostly) not your grandmother's pie recipes: the Elsens make strawberry balsamic pie, sweet corn custard pie, salted caramel apple pie, and green chile chocolate pie...
Just received a couple of old commercial baking books that I've been going through. "Cookies and Crackers Old and New" $12 and "A Treatise on Cake Making" $8, and I am truly impressed by both these oldie but goodie-makers.
Every wonder how they make that chocolate coating for snack cakes like Hostess Ding Dongs? It's in CCOAN! Graham Crackers, Cheese Crackers, Ginger Snaps, Chocolate Chip Biscuits, Cream and Jelly Fillings!!!
Treatise is written for the retail cake baker of yesterday, which means the recipes and formulas are easily translatable/scalable for home use.
I would highly recommend picking up both these books as they contain a wealth of information on baking that is not always so easily attainable.
Lard: The Lost Art of Cooking with your grandmas secret ingredient.
Couldn't pass it up as I love fish and chicken fried in lard, lard pie crust and biscuits.
OMG! OMG! OMG! "The A. O. C. Cookbook" just arrived a few minutes ago. My hands were practically shaking as I flipped through it. I don't think there's a recipe in it that I don't want to make RIGHT NOW. Is it too early to nominate it for COTM?
"A Girl and Her Pig" arrived at the same time. Oh, embarrassment of riches! Where to start?
re: The Dairy Queen
I've barely had a chance to flip through it. It's not a menu cookbook as Lucques is. Chapters are Cheese, Charcuterie, Salads, Fish, Meat, Vegetables, From the Wood-Burning Oven, and Desserts. All but the first two and the Wood-Burning Oven chapter are further divided into seasons. Each recipe serves 6. Many of the recipes are compound, as they are in Lucques, but they seem, at least at first glance, less involved than the recipes in her first book. She says the Wood-Burning Oven recipes have been tested for the book in a hot oven, and although they don't have the smokiness factor, she says she thinks "you will be pleased." Could be the understatement of the month.
I wouldn't even know where to begin to try to list some of the recipes. Every single one of them sounds spectacular. Atlantic Sea Scallops with Saffron Potatoes and Blood Orange-Meyer Lemon Salsa. Lamb Paillards with Risotto Carbonara, English Peas, and Chanterelles. Coq Au Vin with Bacon, Potato Puree, Cipollini Onions, and Black Trumpets. Chocolate Mascarpone Tart with Pistachios in Olive Oil. Really. I could just go through page by page and type out every single recipe.
Gotta turn away or I'll start hyperventilating again.
re: JoanN
Interesting method of organization! That Coq Au Vin is calling me, as is the tart. I wonder if there are recipes floating around out there now that the book is out?
Eater's blurb: http://eater.com/archives/2013/10/25/...
Not many out there yet, it seems. Here's one:
Fattoush salad with fried pita, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta and sumac
re: The Dairy Queen
A very quick perusal isn't turning up any online recipes from the book. Probably too new for the bloggers to have delved into it yet. There are a handful of recipes on Epi that are from the restaurant ( http://www.epicurious.com/tools/searc... ), but although one or two are similar, none are exactly the same as the recipes in the book.
re: The Dairy Queen
Oh, I've been wanting to try Coq Au Vin at home! I think she has a pork rillette recipe in there, as well.
I saw the paperback "ATK 2013"-episodes cookbook at Costco, so added it to my on-line wish list. Wow, received it in the mail today as a gift, and it's the 99 lb. hardback.
I've already marked a bunch of stuff. Finally getting a KA tomorrow (also at Costco, no I don't work there), so all set for a baking frenzy.
re: pine time
Someone loves you (as of course, they should) to both notice your online wish list and act on it!
I just bought Jerusalem too! like a lot of the readers. I LOVE this book. I just made this Roasted eggplant dish. Changed it up a bit because I had quinoa on hand and not bulgur
Roasted Eggplant + Quinoa
adapted from 'Jerusalem' by Ottolenghi
makes 2 servings
2 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chile flakes
1 tsp cayenne
1 tbsp lemon zest
Salt + pepper
1 large eggplant
1 cup cooked quinoa
3 tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/2 stalk green onions, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt, pepper
1/4 cup greek yogurt
Mix first 5 ingredients in 2 tbsp of olive oil. Add salt and pepper
Cut eggplant lengthwise, score deep crisscrosses but don't puncture skin!
Spoon herb mixture on the flesh and roast cut side-up at 400F for 30-40 minutes
Mix chopped cilantro, green onion with the cooked quinoa and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper
When the eggplant is done, serve quinoa on top, spoon some yogurt, sprinkle some cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil
pictures here!
I was recently gifted a copy of this cookbook:
and to my great surprise it's pretty darn interesting.
An entertaining cookbook from the vendors and personalities surrounding this landmark food emporium.
Not a must have, but a fun off the beaten path kinda cookbook.
I bought America's Test Kitchen Pressure Perfection. It is not my most interesting book culinary wise, but it answers many of my pressure cooker questions. I still need a better guide, but it is a nice start.

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Senate Democrats are preparing a catchall government funding bill that denies President Barack Obama money for implementing signature first-term accomplishments like new regulations on Wall Street and his expansion of government health care subsidies but provides modest additional funding for domestic priorities like health research.
The measure is the product of bipartisan negotiations and is the legislative vehicle to fund the day-to-day operations of government through Sept. 30 -- and prevent a government shutdown when current funding runs out March 27.
Passage in the Senate this week would presage an end to a mostly overlooked battle between House Republicans and Obama over the annual spending bills required to fund federal agencies.
The bipartisan measure comes as Washington separately girds for weeks of warfare over the longer-term budget.

|Register your Internship for Credit
The Center for Career Development coordinates the registration of undergraduate student internships for credit. Below are the policies and procedures for doing so.
Graduate student internships are registered for credit through each academic program. Graduate students should contact their Program Directors to inquire (and Tell Us About Your Internship, because we love to know!)
Please Contact Us with any questions.
International Students
International Students must inform the Office of International Student Services (OISS) of any internship to obtain approval and work authorization.
See F-1 Student Internships for more information.
Internship Course Requests
Complete the Internship Course Request Form with all of the details of your internship, including supervisor contact information and expected responsibilities. You will be notified by the CCD if your request is accepted, and you will be emailed a personalized Learning Agreement for approval by certain faculty and staff.
Faculty Internship Advisors
Students usually register for internships under their major departments and must secure a Faculty Internship Advisor from that department. They may also do one internship outside the department for interdisciplinary credit. Faculty Internship Advisors will sign off on the internship, advise the student during the Internship course, and submit a grade for the course. Not every professor is authorized to be a Faculty Internship Advisor. Contact the CCD or your major department if you need assistance in obtaining a Faculty Internship Advisor.
Signatures and Registration
Check-in and Evaluations
During Fall and Spring Semesters all students receiving credit for their Internships must attend a mandatory Mid-Semester Check-in Meeting at the CCD and submit an evaluation of their internship experience so far. These are group sessions of 5-10 students and last approximately 30 minutes. During Summer and Winter sessions, only evaluations are collected; students are not required to attend meetings. If you have any concerns prior to or after your meeting/evaluation, contact the CCD immediately so we can assist you.
Submit your Mid-Semester Evaluation
The deadline to register an internship is the Add/Drop deadline set by the Registrar for the given semester. Extensions to register past the Add/Drop deadline may be granted on an individual basis. Contact the CCD for information.
Summer and Winter Internships
As for-credit Internships are registered as courses through the Registrar's office, students must pay per-credit tuition if they wish to receive credit for their Summer or Winter Internship. Contact the Registrar's Office or Student Accounts for pricing details.
Hour Requirement and Credits Earned
Students may earn 1 - 3 credits for an Internship course. The number of credits for the course is chosen by the student (following the minimum requirements below) at the time of registration. The number of credits earned for an Internship course may not be changed (increased or decreased) after the Add/Drop deadline. If students believe extenuating circumstances apply, they should consult the CCD for assistance.
During the semester of the internship, students must work a minimum of 40 hours per credit earned. This is a minimum requirement for credit and does not dictacte the student's work schedule.
Please make sure you are on track to fulfill this hour requirement:

You wouldn't be to blame if you avoided Travis simply because it's the latest in a long line of U.K. bands being hyped as the "next big thing." Yeah, yeah, it was a No. 1 in Britain, big deal. But you'd be missing out on one of the best records of the year. The Man Who is the most unexpectedly accomplished sophomore record in recent memory. Dropping its Oasis-wanna-be pretensions, Travis has fashioned an album full of warm, soft and, occasionally, dark pop songs. It would be easy to characterize this as the best record Radiohead didn't make this year -- the chiming guitars and chug-chug bass of the opener, "Writing to Reach You," ebb and flow in sort of a "Paranoid Android" way, only much sadder -- but Travis is very much its own band and one that's decided to trumpet earnestness over any retro-rock pretenses. Sure, there's a lot of Radiohead (minus the Pink Floyd/prog rock element) -- but there's also some of the big ambitions of Joshua Tree-era U2, as well as some glam tendencies. Singer Fran Healy emotes on a par with the dynamics even as Nigel Godrich's (Beck, Radiohead) production builds the songs into mini-epics of living room-closeness.
"Reach You" is a seesaw that goes up on big beats and clanging chords and comes down with simple strumming and vocals. Throughout, Healy wears his heart in his throat, exposing his frailty even if the music isn't always delicate. The band relies on acoustic guitars for the main thrust and only allows the electrics to shimmer across the surface of songs.
The band has a delicate touch -- even when letting the floodgates of guitars open now and then -- which lets it delve into other styles without losing its identity. Similarly, the swirl of keyboards and jangled guitars that close out "The Fear" give it a space rock edge without taking the song into the stratosphere. And those are just the first two tracks.
The hit U.K. singles "Driftwood" and "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?" highlight the differences in our two cultures. "Driftwood" is a mellow, acoustic-tinged rock song, while "Rain" updates the bouncing beat of the Monkees' "Daydream Believer" with strings. Neither song stands much chance of breaking through the airwaves here, because there isn't anything artificial or contrived about them. No carefully packaged imagery, no dance-routine videos, just four guys and four chords.
The record has problems, to be sure: The falsetto vocals of "The Last Laugh of the Laughter" nearly sink the piano-heavy number, and Healy's moan is, at times, a bit too much like Radiohead singer Thom Yorke's, while the back-to-back ballads "Luv" and "She's So Strange" slow the pace down some toward the end. But these are relatively minor complaints. Otherwise, it's simply lovely, despite the hype.

ALMAGUIN – At least one parent is worried about fate of local childcare programs.
"At a time when they're implementing full-day kindergarten because they know the importance of early learning, I can't believe they would even consider cutting these programs," said Emmalee Glover of Callander.
The Ministry of Education is currently working on a new funding formula that will dictate the District Social Services Administration Board childcare budget for 2013. The new formula is expected to become public next month.
Glover said she's worried the funding won't account for the continuation of child care programming offered by the Parry Sound District Social Services Administration Board, including the one her children attend at M.T. Davidson Public School in Callander.
"As a mother and registered nurse, I am well aware of how important a child's early years are," said Glover. "Why then would our elected officials choose to close a program that is actively and effectively assisting parents to provide their children with the best possible opportunities early in their lives?"
According to Cec Barks, DSSAB manager of children's services, she has no idea what could be coming down the pipe as far as budget cuts for next year.
"It's concerningm not knowing," she said.
Currently, the DSSAB uses Ministry of Education funding to host licensed child care centres for pre-school and school-aged children in Emsdale, South River and Powassan, as well as Early Years/Best Start child and family centres for adults and their children up to six years of age at the DSSAB office in South River, at M.A. Wittick Public School in Burk's Falls, and M.T. Davidson Public School in Callander.
"It's a way of supporting young families and getting kids ready for school," said Barks. "Parents and caregivers can network and join groups and workshops. It gives kids a chance to socialize."
According to Barks, the childcare centres have very high attendance.
"The South River program is very busy," she said. "And the program in Burk's Falls, at M.A. Wittick, is extremely busy."
Glover said the centre is a lifeline for parents.
"A lot of the area they service is rural, so they don't have access to the YMCA or other programs," she said. "This is the one chance that kids have to socialize before they are school aged."
Through the program, the DSSAB offers free parenting workshops that are designed to strengthen and promote positive adult-child relationships. The workshops help parents and caregivers develop skills to better deal with the joys, challenges and stresses of raising children.
Glover's two children, Georgia, 4, and Mitchell, 2, both attend the Callander-based program.
"It's been a great resource," she said.
As part of the Early Years/Best Start programs, an early literacy specialist works with program organizers and other community agencies such as child care centres, nursery schools, libraries, school boards, health departments and adult literacy programs.
Glover said she is in a better position than many other families if the programs are discontinued because she lives close to North Bay.
"If you had a family in Magnetawan or Kearney there would be no access to early literacy specialists, so if there was a developmental problem, it wouldn't be identified until they started school," she said.

DAYTON, Va – Smoke hung in the air near where the Rockingham County Mill caught fire.
Rockingham County Fire Chief Jeremy Holloway said the fire started at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
A feed truck hit a propane tank, busting one of the gas lines off the tank. The fire came from propane burning out of the broken gas line.
Holloway said fire crews shut the fuel lines off and let the tank cool. They also replaced the line for the propane tank. He said the feed was not interrupted by the incident.
Holloway said this type of situation is not unusual.
"We've had some small incidents in the past, but nothing major and this is really not a major incident, just something that occurred," said Holloway.
There were no major damages and no one was hurt.

Hello Ms. Shalini,
This test is useful to understand the psychological balance level of candidate and for skill based interview assessment we can have competency based interview evaluation and primary requisite for this is preparation of competency dictionary for each position.
Please find attached a ideal competency dictionary from Harvard University, which will be a bench mark for preparation of your own organizations competency dictionary.

Digital Projection International (DPI), an Emmy® Award-winning manufacturer of high-performance projection systems, Scalable Display Technologies, a leading provider of software for automatic edge-blending, and Electric Picture, a leading systems integrator recently collaborated on a significant system upgrade to STAR Center's maritime training simulator in Dania Beach, FL. This upgrade resulted in increased imagery resolution and vertical coverage, improved color management and made overall system maintenance more efficient.
In operation since 1993, STAR Center (Simulation, Training, Assessment & Research) is regarded internationally as a top destination for ocean-going and inland professional maritime training and research. A division of the AMO Safety and Education Plan, STAR Center is the primary training provider for the U.S. merchant marine officers represented by American Maritime Officers.
At a time when some training facilities are compromising on overall experience by implementing flat-panel based simulators, STAR Center's 16' tall, 360° immersive ship bridge training display delivers an incomparably realistic experience. The sought-after training facility is so well respected that, with its previous components in place, the bridge simulator often operated from 7:00 a.m. to beyond 1:00 a.m., at least five days a week, for eight years. Not surprisingly, the bridge simulator was ready for a performance and modernization overhaul in 2012.
STAR Center contacted Melbourne, Florida-based Electric Picture, the integrations company that installed the original simulator components, regarding the ideal components for the upgrade. There were three main items that Brian Long, director of STAR Center, wanted the upgrade to address: the image quality from the outdated projectors wasn't up to standard, the external warp and blend boxes in use needed regular maintenance, and the system needed overall color controls. As the system was in such a high-use application, a long-term components warranty was also important to ensure the simulator performed at top level for years to come.
"The upgrade was a resounding success," commented Brian Long. The existing projectors were replaced by nine of DPI's higher-resolution HIGHlite WUXGA 660 projectors with built-in advanced warp and blend capability, courtesy of their internal Fusion software. With the ability to run in both single and dual-lamp mode, the HIGHlite displays allow the STAR Center to accentuate extreme brightness or increased lamp efficiency based on the configuration. Additionally, the HIGHlite displays came with 3-year factory warranties. A further benefit resulting from the projector upgrade allowed Electric Picture to increase the simulator's vertical field of view, which, as Long noted, was "a very big deal indeed. The extra projected height reinforces that feeling of depth and full immersion and gives the simulator a much more realistic feel. The experience is very similar to being on an actual ship."
Scalable Display Manager software is used to automatically calibrate the warp and blend for the full display. Scalable Display Manager is a patented camera based system that provides STAR Center the ease of use of "one touch" calibration. This installation also features advanced color matching to ensure the simulator appears unified and seamless.
Long and the entire STAR Center team take their training responsibility very seriously. "Our central goal at STAR Center is to help produce the most well-trained, prepared maritime officers in the world. The newly upgraded bridge simulator will help us achieve that goal for years to come."

School day's end is also a beginning at Nashua after school program
Instructor Jonathan Starks shows Rebeca Lins, 10, and Mariana Sierra, 9, the different parts of a silkscreen machine so they can learn how to make their own custom T-shirts. (BENJAMIN C. KLEIN PHOTO)
In order for a school to qualify for the program, roughly a third of the student population must be eligible for free or school lunches. Once a school is eligible, every student is eligible to enroll in the program that, at a maximum, costs $50 a month for a child to attend every day.
Kim Moreno said that because she and her husband work, having an affordable after-school program for 7-year-old Dmitri and 10-year-old Juliana is a huge help.
"My children are here so we can work, but they also like it. The program offers activities that would typically be much more expensive to participate in," she said.
Sue Almeida, director of the 21st Century After School Program, said that the program is funded by a federal grant administered through the state. She added the program is currently up for reapplication for the five-year grant.
"I am not worried about losing our funding," she said. "We are one of the biggest programs in the state and well established."
Superintendent Mark Conrad said that along with the Adult Learning Center, a nonprofit organization that rents space in all 12 elementary schools for a pre-school and after-school program, 21st Century is a necessity for the district.
"Both programs do an excellent job of coordinating with students' teachers to ensure that any subject they need extra help with is emphasized after school," Conrad said, who added no money from the district goes to either program.
Almeida said 21st Century programs have been in the district since 2000 and are currently located in Amherst Street, Dr. Crisp, Fairgrounds, Ledge Street and Mount Pleasant elementary schools and the Elm Street, Fairgrounds and Pennichuck middle schools.
"We have only been in the middle schools for the last four years. Five or six years ago they wouldn't have qualified," she said.
For kids, the after-school program is not something where they get to run around unstructured and unsupervised.
Deb Kudalis, Amherst Street Elementary School 21st Century Program coordinator, said 3 to 4 p.m. is homework time, 4 to 5 p.m. is spent in enrichment class, and 5 to 5:45 p.m. is for downtime as children wait to be picked up. Children are also provided a free snack and given a brief recess.
"A lot of these students have 10 to 11 hour days with school and the program combined, but they love it. There are times when students ask to be picked up early, and when parents show up early the kids don't want to go home and get very upset. I tell parents not to listen to the kids in the morning," Kudalis said.
Rosemarie Dillingham ran into just such a problem with her daughter Kaysi, 6, when she went to pick her up Thursday.
"She just gave me attitude because I came to pick her up early," Dillingham said with a laugh.
Dillingham said she enrolled Kaysi, an only child, into the program so that she gets as much social experience with other children as possible.
"I absolutely think this program is great. I love that I don't have to go somewhere else, and she doesn't have to get on a bus to go to the program. It's right here, and with the school all secure it is even better," she said.
Kudalis said the program offers a wide variety of programs, including athletics, arts and crafts, and academics.
Classes include karate, beading, fun math problems, science classes, silk screening, basketball and more. Almeida said each program at each school is different because "the culture of each school is different."
"A cheerleading class in one program that is very popular might not work in another school," she said.
The long days don't seem to bother the children at all.
Gwen Dockham, 9, and Martha Patino, 8, were goofing around during a beading class, proudly proclaiming that they are BFFs or "best friends forever."
Both said they enjoyed the program, with Gwen saying she would rather be in there than at home after school.
Rebeca Lins, 10, and Mariana Sierra, 9, are learning how to make custom T-shirts in a silkscreen class using equipment donated by the PTO.
Instructor Jonathan Starks reminded the girls that along with learning how to use the machine, they always have to clean up afterwards.
Zianna Ramos, 9, said that it isn't so bad being in the after-school program, despite having to do homework.
"It's really fun here, I don't mind coming here. It's not all about school work. Sometimes it's about having fun," Ramos said.

Two former military intercept officers are alleging that personnel at the National Security Agency listened in on and shared personal phone calls made by Americans living abroad.
The Washington Post reports that the Senate Intelligence Committee is looking into the allegations that NSA employees "improperly eavesdropped on the phone calls of hundreds of Americans overseas, including aid workers and U.S. military personnel talking to their spouses at home." Some of the listening was done as part of the eavesdropping program to catch terrorists, according to the article.
The article also states that the "chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.), yesterday termed the accusations "extremely disturbing" and said his staff had begun gathering information and may consider holding hearings. "Any time there is an allegation regarding abuse of the privacy and civil liberties of Americans, it is a very serious matter," he said.
It was also reported that:
The alleged intercepts were described by two linguists who said they witnessed the activity while assigned to the NSA's giant eavesdropping station known as Back Hall at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Adrienne Kinne, 31, a former Army reservist, was an intercept operator at the site from 2001 to 2003, while Navy linguist David Murphee Faulk, 39, held a similar position from 2003 to 2007. Both provided accounts to investigative journalist James Bamford for his book "The Shadow Factory," due for release next week, and also in interviews with ABC News. Both said the NSA's intercept program was intended to pick up intelligence about terrorists and their plans -- which sometimes happened. But the operators also would frequently tap into phone calls by Americans living abroad -- usually satellite phone calls made from the Middle East, or routine calls made by U.S. military personnel from phones in Baghdad's Green Zone, they said in interviews broadcast yesterday.
A U.S. official told the Post that internal investigations could not substantiate the allegations. However, he or she also noted that it is legal for the United States to monitor conversations of government employees in war zones, although it is not legal for them to keep or share conversations that are not related to intelligence.

Indian Puranas constitute one of the richest sources of Hindu Literature as well as mythology. They contain some important components of both
as well as
. The Puranas narrate various stories about the Gods and the Goddesses, rights and rituals and hymns. These scriptures have been passed from one generation to the other, either by word of mouth or stored scriptures. There are about 18 major Puranas along with some minor ones, which have been merged in various ideas from different faiths. The Indian Puranas are classified into the Mahapuranas (great) and the Upapuranas (lower, additional) and the classification of Puranas depends on the importance of each of these Indian Puranas.
Origin of Puranas
According to researches, the Puranas represent the earliest traditional history. Tradition has it that the Puranas were composed by
Ved Vyas
at the end of Dwapara Yuga, though the exact origin of Indian Puranas is not known. However modern scholars state that Indian Puranas existed from the 4th century BC to the 1st millennium AD. The Puranas undoubtedly reach back to great antiquity and are rooted in
Vedic Literature
; many a legend, already familiar from
Hymns of Rig Veda
and from the
, reappears in the Puranas. Furthermore, history depicts that Puranas existed even before the advent of the Vedic texts. Age of the Puranas lies in the antiquity and in those past days, Puranas were given enough significance for the developed civilisation.
But, just as undoubtedly, those works which have come down to us under the title of " Purana" are of a later date, and up to the present day books are fabricated which assume the proud title "Purana," or claim to be parts of ancient Puranas. Even the latest productions of this literature have the external form and the archaic frame of the oldest Puranas.
Meaning of Puranas
The word "Purana" means originally nothing but Puranam Akhyanam, i.e. old narrative. In the older literature, in Brahmanas,
and old Buddhist texts, the word is generally found in connection with
. But the Itihasas and Puranas or Itihasapurana so often mentioned in olden times, do not mean actual books, still less, then, the epics or Puranas which have come down to us. It is indeed likely enough that the Puranas are only recasts of older works of the same species, namely, of works of religious didactic contents, in which were collected ancient traditions of the Creation, the deeds of the gods, heroes, saints and ancient ancestors of the human race, the beginnings of the famous royal families, and so on.
This fact of the later recasting of the Puranas is verified by the fact that none of these Puranas conforms to the definition of the term Purana as given in themselves. According to this old definition, every Purana is to have five characteristics (pancalaksana) i.e. it is to treat five subjects: 1) Sarga, creation, 2)
, secondary-creation, i.e. the periodical annihilation and renewal of the worlds, 3) Vamsa, genealogy, i.e. the genealogy of the gods and Risis, (4) Manvantarani, the Manu-periods of time, i.e. the great periods, each of which has a
or primal ancestor of the human race, and 5) Vamsanucarita, the history of the dynasties, viz. the early and later dynasties whose origin is traced back to the sun (solar dynasty) and the moon (lunar dynasty).
It has been seen that these five things only partly form the contents of the Puranas handed down to us. Whereas some contain much more than what is included in the five characteristics, others scarcely touch upon these subjects, but deal with quite different things. What is especially significant of almost all Puranas is their sectarian character, i e. their being dedicated to the cult of some god or other, of Lord Vishnu or
Lord Shiva
, is completely ignored by the old definition. In most of these works there are also considerable sections on the rights and duties of the castes and of the Asramas, on the general Brahmanical rites, especially the funeral sacrifices (Sraddhas), as well as on particular ceremonies and feasts (Vratas) in honour of Vishnu or Shiva and frequently also sections on
Samkhya philosophy
Content of Puranas
The Puranas are texts that represent the Indian culture and civilization as well as the history and the geography of the world since its creation. Geography in the Puranas is the chief topic of discussion from early times in connection with recreation; and many of the existing Puranas contain chapters on these topics. According to Puranic tradition, the earth consisted of seven dvipa or continents, such as Jambu dvipa, Plaksa dvipa, Saimali dvipa,
dvipa, Kraunca dvipa, Saka dvipa, Puskara dvipa. According to the description given in the Puranas, each of these seven dvipa or continents was divided into a number of varsas or subcontinents. These dvipas were surrounded by seven oceans containing water which salt, sugarcane-juice, wine, clarified butter,
and good drinking water mixed in the water of the ocean.
The Indian Puranas speak quite extensively about the battle between the Gods and the Demons. The Puranas give detailed account of Hindu lore, religious practices - Yoga, prayers, sacrifices and everyday customs and they complement the metaphysical seriousness of the Upanishads, the magical and sacrificial lore of the
Atharva Veda
, and the orthodoxy of the
Rig Veda
Indian Puranas also speak at length about the various gods and goddesses. Puranic Deities of India includes
Lord Brahma
, Vishnu and Shiva. According to the Puranas, Vishnu and Shiva were visualized as forming a harmony with Brahma. These Puranic deities were introduced to the religions during the 4th and 5th century A.D. These gods were witnessed as almighty. Moreover, the gods were given a particular identity depending on their power. The Puranas also narrate the incidents of various influential kings, their supremacy as well as the rivalry between princely clans.
The Puranas are works that represent the deep mystic structuring of Indian civilization. They are viewed as expanding, modifying, and transforming the orthodox Brahmanism of the Vedas, through bhakti or devotion.
