As Brian Glover explains in this beautiful book, there are myriad varieties of squash, ranging from tiny zucchini to huge pumpkins. Some squash have beautiful orange and red skins, others come in bizarre shapes and with knobby skins. What they all have in common is that they are an amazingly versatile ingredient, as demonstrated in this exciting collection of recipes. There are chapters of Light Bites, Soups and Salads, Rice, Pasta, and Grains, Entrees, and Sweet Things and Preserves. For a light meal or snack, try Zucchini and Ricotta Fritters, a winter warming Pumpkin and Coconut Soup, or deliciously quick Roasted Squash with Leek and Barley Pilaf. For an entree, cook up a hearty Beef Stew with Squash Moroccan-style Chicken and Butternut Squash Tagine or a Pork and Zucchini Meatballs with Honeyed Eggplant. For those with a sweet tooth there's Sweet Squash, Pecan, and Maple syrup Tart and Spiced Pumpkin and Apple Pie. These are just a few of the 50 recipes to get you started.

The sharp, fresh taste of lemons and limes is essential in any kitchen. A squeeze of lemon can bring a dull sauce or lackluster soup to life as its tartness pierces through rich food and brings out flavor in a subtler, more complex way than salt. The Mediterranean trinity of olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice instantly conjures up the smell and taste of Mediterranean food. Smaller, sharper, less juicy but more intensely fragrant than lemons, limes work with exotic, spicy flavors in recipes from Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Chapters include: Salads and Soups; Rice and Pasta; Fish, Meat, and Poultry; and Sweet Things. Brian Glover's Cooking with Lemons & Limes gives you lots of classics plus new, delicious ideas for cooking with both ingredients. Culinary delights from around the world, such as Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Preserved Lemons and Key Lime Pie, all photographed by Richard Jung....
