This is just what I wanted in a treatise on making terrines, etc.- all the details, with clear instructions.
Now, this is what I call "stunt cooking", especially for home cooks...but I read about fancy cheffy stuff, and sometimes I want to try such! The ability of these dishes to use leftovers and eke them out into something even fancier than their origins intrigues me.
And it turns out I once did make 2 galantines! We ended up with an extra smallish turkey at Thanksgiving, and I turned it show more into 2 galantines for later use- quite tasty, too.
The vegetable and fish/seafood terrines are especially fascinating. I am contemplating a fish/seafood one to accompany our traditional clam chowder on Christmas Eve...
If you are at all intrigued by this kind of cooking, this is a fascinating cookbook! I look forward to trying a few recipes from it- meanwhile, I shall read and dream. show less

This superbly illustrated coffee table book published by Time Life Books should not stay on the coffee table; it belongs in the kitchen. It is just as well that the coffee table size book is supplemented by a smaller paperback size one that extracts all the recipes and so you can avoid the inevitable food stains spoiling some amazing photographs of foods and markets in India.
The introduction to the recipe book starts unpromisingly by stating that: "The recipes in the book have been selected show more to present the dishes that are most practical for British Cooks. Although some modifications were necessary, every effort has been made to preserve the authentic character of Indian Food" A quick glance inside and you will realise that these are not dumbed-down recipes; they just shout authenticity. The first recipe in the book is for garam masala an essential spice mix for many Indian dishes and this is followed by "ghee" (Indian Butter oil). There is no substitute for making your own ghee, your curries will take on a wonderful nutty taste, that you won't get with shop bought products.
The recipes cover all areas of Indian cooking; vegetarian dishes, rice dishes, meat, fish and poultry, breads, salads and yogurt dishes, chutneys, sweet dishes and sweet meats. The recipe index (there are over 115) is in both English and Hindi. The proof of any recipe collection is whether they work when you try them in your own kitchen. I have not tried every recipe in the book but those that I have work beautifully. I am particularly fond of Indian vegetable curries and there are some good ones here: Ghobi ki sabzi (curried cauliflower), Mattar pannir (home made cheese and peas) and Baingan ka tikka (aubergines baked with curried vegetable stuffing). The meat and fish dishes are excellent too with a full range of; dhansaks, goshts, kormas and koftis. Any Indian recipe book like this one that doesn't contain recipes for onion bhajis or chicken tikka masala has got to be in with a shout for some sort of authenticity.
A book well worth tracking down; ever since I got a copy in 1976 it has never been out of my kitchen and I will be using it again this week show less
The introduction to the recipe book starts unpromisingly by stating that: "The recipes in the book have been selected show more to present the dishes that are most practical for British Cooks. Although some modifications were necessary, every effort has been made to preserve the authentic character of Indian Food" A quick glance inside and you will realise that these are not dumbed-down recipes; they just shout authenticity. The first recipe in the book is for garam masala an essential spice mix for many Indian dishes and this is followed by "ghee" (Indian Butter oil). There is no substitute for making your own ghee, your curries will take on a wonderful nutty taste, that you won't get with shop bought products.
The recipes cover all areas of Indian cooking; vegetarian dishes, rice dishes, meat, fish and poultry, breads, salads and yogurt dishes, chutneys, sweet dishes and sweet meats. The recipe index (there are over 115) is in both English and Hindi. The proof of any recipe collection is whether they work when you try them in your own kitchen. I have not tried every recipe in the book but those that I have work beautifully.

Brief overviews of particular photographers, grouped every twenty years from 1860 through 1960. How does a Life survey not include Margaret Bourke-White, of all people? She had the very first cover of Life! Of the sixty-seven photographers featured, only two are women -- Julia Margaret Cameron in the 1860-1880 section and Dorothea Lange in 1920-1940.
This ties into a criticism of the Time-Life Photography series as a whole, which is that it is apparently almost inconceivable that a woman show more would be behind the lens instead of in front. Almost all of the photographers and movements feature throughout the series. This volume exists purely to canonize, which makes its exclusivity disappointing.
Even so, some great photographs. show less

Born in 1952, this book was a trip down memory lane for me. The 50's were a cookie cutter time of unrealistic idealism.
After WWII, the economy was booming, and so were the birth rates. The men in gray flannel suits left to work a 10-12 hour day while at home their lovely wives with beauty parlor smiles and permed hair wore barbie doll high heels when making jello salad.
The suburban driveway contained a 1957 Bel Air Parisian Blue colored Chevrolet or a 1951 Nash Rambler. Perhaps the suburban show more neighbor two doors down had a pink Ford Thunderbird, and the lucky guy next door might own a 1953 Kaiser Manhattan.
While the man ruled the house, Ike ran the nation as Richard Nixon verbally spared with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev who threatened to bury the US.
As the Soviets placed the worlds first artificial satellite in space, the tiny 184 pound Sputnik heralded a fast- paced race for US power both in the sky and on the land.
While the golden age of TV brought yet more unrealistic expectations right into the living room, Ricky Ricardo and his spunky wife Lucy made us laugh, helping us to forget that as we watched TV, a contractor was building a fall out shelter in the back yard.
While children, in fear of nuclear bombs, ducked and covered under their school desks, when they arrived home either a spam/baked bean casserole, or a Kraft macaroni dinner awaited them after they sat, eyes glued, to the small black and white box reflecting the shows of The Mighty Mouse Playhouse, Howdy Doody, My Friend Flika or Captain Kangaroo.
In the kitchen mom brewed Red Rose tea, licked her S&H green stamps and ordered her latest Tupperware container.
In the 1950's, the social fabric began to change as a mere five years after WWII we became embroiled in another foreign war, this time in Korea. As the Cold War with the Soviet Union escalated, the racial tensions in America, so long at a boiling point, erupted with a fury.
The illusion of a bright shining land of plenty came apart as blacks began to demonstrate and protest to gain what what rightfully theirs, ie the right to attend school, the right to a college education, the right to freedom and the right to drink out of the same fountain as the white !
The illusion that the women's place was in the kitchen, that the black person had a place as long as it was standing in the back of the line and that all power was in the hands of the white man was about to shatter as the 1950's hypocrisy set the foundation for the turbulent 60's and 70's. show less
