  • SAVEUR, and Every Month We Share Our Favorite New Releases—Books That, Through One Avenue of Greatness Or Another, Have Earned a Place on Our Over-Stuffed Shelves
    Mar 6, 2014 Books Worth Buying: February and March's Best Food and Drink Releases The monthly guide to our favorite new cookbook releases We get dozens of cookbooks each week at SAVEUR, and every month we share our favorite new releases—books that, through one avenue of greatness or another, have earned a place on our over-stuffed shelves. This time, those books that piqued our interest came from all over the world —the Middle East, Myanmar, Paris, the American Credit: Laura Sant South—and covered a variety of recipes, from Palestinian mezze to cooking candy. OLIVES, LEMONS & ZA’ATAR: THE BEST MIDDLE EASTERN HOME COOKING (HTTP://WWW.AMAZON.COM/GP/PRODUCT/1906868840/REF=AS_LI_SS_TL? IE=UTF8&CAMP=1789&CREATIVE=390957&CREATIVEASIN=1906868840&LINKCODE=AS2&TAG=SAVEUR-20) by Rawia Bishara I have long been a fan of Tanoreen, Rawia Bishara’s Palestinian restaurant tucked away in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, where her inventive mezze, like fried Brussels sprouts drizzled with fresh tahini and pomegranate seeds and eggplant napoleons slathered in babaganoush cream, make the forty-five minute trek from Manhattan well worthwhile. So, I was thrilled when I finally got my hands on her cookbook, and the secrets behind the delectable dishes I’d eaten at her restaurant. The recipes for my favorites turned out to be shockingly easy, 5-ingredient affairs, and as I flipped through the pages of mouthwatering photographs and lovely asides about local culinary folklore and her own food memories, I also discovered simplified recipes for many Palestinian classics. For example, her recipe for Musakhan, a complicated festival dish of sumac-rubbed roast chicken served on rounds of fresh-baked taboon bread, is transformed from weekend project to weeknight meal with a simple pizza-like flatbread recipe and smart substitutions like quick sautéed boneless chicken breast.

  • Southern Living and the Progressive Farmer Magazines Select St
    SOUTHERN LIVING AND THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER MAGAZINES SELECT ST. JOE'S NEW RURALISM DEVELOPMENT FOR 2006 IDEA HOUSE Located at JOE's First WhiteFence Farms, set in Northwest Florida Hill Country TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, and BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA - (September 27, 2005) - The St. Joe Company (NYSE:JOE) announced today that Southern Living and The Progressive Farmer magazines have selected WhiteFence Farms, Red Hills, for a 2006 Idea House and Farmstead. WhiteFence Farms, Red Hills, is located just 15 minutes from downtown Tallahassee and 30 minutes from the coast in southeastern Leon County. When completed and open for tours in 2006, the farmstead home will serve as a public showcase for lifestyle ideas in the two sister magazines of Southern Progress Corporation. Developed and designed to recreate an "old farm and equestrian" feel, WhiteFence Farms is one of JOE's imaginative new real estate offerings that falls under the company's 'New Ruralism' concept in Florida. WhiteFence Farms will appeal to buyers, primarily Baby Boomers and their families, offering privacy, beauty, large space, and a way to reconnect with both nature and the land that was once at the heart of America's farms, ranches and rural communities. With the ever-quickening daily pace of life, homeowners are seeking alternatives to live, work and raise their families. "We are pleased to work with St. Joe on a first-ever joint magazine Idea House project for two of our top Southern Progress titles," said Bill McDougald, vice president and executive director of the Southern Progress Homes Group. "It's a great opportunity for readers of both Southern Living and The Progressive Farmer to see their favorite magazines display New Ruralism in action." Framed by two clusters of century-old live oaks and set in a meadow gently sloping down to a five-acre pond, the Idea House will rest on an impressive site that will include a detached garage, barn, workshop, and stable for horses.
