Used: Acceptable. Hardback with D/J in very good condition. 2001 first edition. The Reunion of Food and Family. Amazon-"Dining together allows us to better understand who we are, regardless of our social status, " writes Art Smith, author of Back to the Table, a cookbook that explores the meaning of the dining ritual while providing 150 recipes to "strengthen bonds between loved ones." Personal chef to Oprah Winfrey and a contributing editor to her magazine, O, Smith grew up in the Southern cooking tradition, the underpinning of this enticing home-style collection. Smith's reiterated message that we return to the "sanctity of the table" is unassailable; his recipes, however, really make the point. Readers looking for good food to cook and share will find the book a much-turned-to treasure. Chapters like "Breaking Bread, " "The Family Meal, " and "Food Is Love" organize recipes around the communal eating theme. "The Family Meal, " for example, includes exemplary everyday formulas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, such as Zucchini and Tomato Frittata, Carrot-Ginger Soup with Minted Yogurt, and Grilled Fish Fillets with Watercress Mustard and Tarragon. Other outstanding recipes such as Mushroom, Provolone, and Rosemary Pizza, Sunday Dinner Pot Roast, and Spring Vegetable Lasagna reflect and encourage shared cooking and enjoyment. Formulas for sweets are woven throughout the book and include such delights as Kumquat-Ginger Pound Cake, Chocolate Pecan Pie, and an old-fashioned Peanut Brittle. Illustrated with photos that depict the food and cooking processes or show people enjoying meals together, the book reminds readers of the culinary and spiritual pleasures of the shared table. Art Smith is Oprah Winfreys personal chef. Smith provides readers with an array of mouth-watering recipes that represent the very best of home cooking. He also discusses how to set the table in a way that gives reverence to the food and the guests; how various cultures give blessings before a meal; how different kinds of foods and dishes can contribute to an atmosphere of family unity; and so much more! Back to the Table is illustrated throughout with stunning photos of the food and of people sharing their tables, and their lives. He has cooked professionally for the families of celebrities and heads-of-state for almost 20 years. -used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.

I loved this cookbook right from the start. The beautiful photographs of simple food are enough to keep me turning the pages. The recipes are really easy to follow, and turn out as expected. My favorites are the homemade naan bread and the love goddess cake, which has become my husbands request for his birthday every year. He also has a good pasta dough recipe that I have used many times, and wonderful recipes for comfort foods that do not disappoint. This is also a very soulful book, with the authors own thoughts on food and why it is so important, how it brings us together. This book always inspires me to spend time in my kitchen, and reminds me of the family meals we had when I was a child, when life was so much simpler!! A very satisfying book, both to look at and to cook from.
