ABRAMS cookbooks reflect the style and vision of the
world’s most inventive chefs, makers, artists, and writers.
Our authors see cooking as both a source of nourishment
and a means of creative expression.
We produce design-forward books that explore the ways
that food can open new doors, pay tribute to tradition, and
sometimes change the world—or at the very least, lunch.
ABRAMS The Art of Food and Drink
“I live in LA, where everyone is known
to be obsessively health-conscious and where dietary
restrictions are the norm. So I have to constantly think
about ways to modify dishes for certain diets, which
in a way has made me a better, more adaptable cook.
The point is to always use real foods—no fake meat or
fake sugar here—that also happen to be suitable for
vegetarians, vegans, or whomever you’re sharing your
meal with. Throughout, I provide notes that show how
just about any dish can be modified for specific tastes
and dietary needs. You can play with these recipes,
combining and shaping them to be nothing short of
everything you want to eat.”

Jessica Koslow is the chef and owner of Sqirl, which opened in 2011 in Silver Lake. Her restaurant has been featured in such publications as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Bon Appétit. In 2014, she was named Eater LA’s Best Chef of the Year.

“I would say that Koslow and I are culinary soul mates, but given the popularity of the place, it’s clear that I’m not the only one. This is food whose time has come.”
—Mark Bittman, New York Times
“Sqirl has everything I want, on one plate, over and over again.” —Besha Rodell, LA Weekly
ERIN GLEESON
“Because I am a home cook, my recipes are simple. Local produce in our weekly farm
box is my starting point. And I like to really highlight the
flavors of each vegetable, often just by using a little olive
oil and salt. And because of my background in art, I aim
for recipes that are colorful. This is the mentality that
informs my entertaining advice and the kinds of recipes
that I share in this book—food that is impressive enough
for a party but easy enough to whip together after a long
day of work.”
“Feeding the people I love is my favorite thing to do and The Forest Feast Gatherings has given me so much new inspiration to do it. From how to plan a menu to how to prepare simple-but-memorable recipes, Erin reminds us that we can all entertain our friends and families easily and our effort doesn’t need to be exhaustive to be effective. If you loved Erin’s first book, get excited: This one is just as wonderful.”
—Julia Turshen, author of Small Victories
Erin Gleeson is the author, illustrator, and photographer behind the New York Times bestselling cookbook The Forest Feast, The Forest Feast for Kids, and the popular blog forestfeast.com. She lives in a cabin in the woods in Northern California with her husband and son.

NICK FAUCHALD & KAITLYN GOALEN
“We work with the best recipe
creators in the business. These are all new and
appearing in print for the first time, but many have
been part of our personal repertoires for years. Some
were invented in spontaneous fits of ingenuity; others
have roots in our favorite restaurants, cookbooks,
and food mentors. They all evoke the feelings that
we love most about cooking and they all make great
springboards, offering up a lesson about an ingredient
that can be taken and improvised on until a new
recipe-less creation forms.”
“A food publication that is honest-to-goodness about cooking.”
—New York Times

SOHUI KIM &BEN SCHNEIDER
“Our whole business plan was that
Ben would build the restaurant and I would cook the food
I’d been making for friends at home, and somehow fill in the
blanks along the way. My father-in-law helped us name it The
Good Fork, a riff on the Italian slang la buona forchetta, which
in Italy is what they call a chowhound, or someone who loves
to eat. Without any announcements or press, we opened,
making a menu we weren’t sure how to explain. Soon we were
turning over tables two or three times a night. Ten years later,
we’re still here, better than ever.”

ALLISON KAVE &KEAVY LANDRETH
“When Keavy Landreth was
four, her parents found her hiding in our living room closet,
parked between the broom and the vacuum, chugging a
bottle of maple syrup. Keavy and I decided to open not just a
bakery, and not just a bar, but a bar and bakery, because we
knew that such a place ought to exist. Why enjoy a massive
slice of birthday cake on its own when you can alternate
bites with sips of bright, bubbly cava? Why dunk your
chocolate chip cookie in a glass of milk when you can dunk it
in a White Russian? You want a vanilla milkshake with a shot
of tequila and a slice of key lime pie swirled in? Yes, we will
happily make that for you (and great idea, by the way).”
“Butter & Scotch is my happy place. Although it’s a few thousand miles away from Paris, Allison Kave and Keavy Landreth opened their mash-up of my two favorite things—cocktails and desserts—in one swell joint, in Brooklyn.” —David Lebovitz, author of My Paris Kitchen

ROBB TURNER WITH JESSICA CARBONE
“Maple syrup is the most American of
products, a food sourced straight from nature that demands
we use our modern technology to properly unlock it from the
untamed wilderness. Maple syrup wasn’t a project for me to
retire on; it was a project that would inspire our family, and
does inspire us, every day. And that’s what we want you to
taste in this book—how extraordinarily inspiring, unique, and
complex the story of maple syrup really is, and what part
we’ve played in keeping the sugaring tradition alive.”

COLMAN ANDREWS
PRAISE FOR THE COUNTRY COOKING OF IRELAND:
“When Colman focuses his gastronomic zeal on a particular cuisine—digging up all its culinary roots—I know not only that he’ll find something delicious down there, but that his vivid and evocative prose will present it to us in an entirely new way.”—Alice Waters
“Whatever its origins or inspirations, what’s
now going on in Britain’s best kitchens is often uniquely and
genuinely British, grown out of fertile tradition, shaped by an
astounding natural bounty, and refined through the efforts of
many centuries of men and women who have understood food
well and pursued its creation passionately. The British table
today, at its best, is as good as any in the world.”

“I love all of Paula Wolfert’s books, but Paula Wolfert’s World of Food is my favorite. It’s so personal and diverse—you can tell these are Paula’s real favorite recipes to cook.”—Suzanne Goin
“Subjected to Visser’s anthropological eye, each ingredient emerges with its own enthralling history.”—Dan Barber, on Margaret Visser’s Much Depends on Dinner
“We’ve taken a page out of the Bras book —the schmear, the spoon drag, putting food on a plate like it fell off a tree.”
—Wylie Dufresne, on Michel Bras’s Essential Cuisine
“It is the book that has remained by my bedside for over a decade.”
—Skye Gyngell, on Judy Rodgers’s The Zuni Cafe Cookbook
JANCIS ROBINSON
“The aim of this book is to share my knowledge with you and make you a self-confident wine expert in twenty-four hours by stripping away the non- essentials and concentrating on what really matters.”
Jancis Robinson has been called “the most respected wine critic and journalist in the world” by Decanter magazine. She is the author/editor of dozens of wine books, including Wine Grapes, The Oxford Companion to Wine, and The World Atlas of Wine. She lives in London.
“Is any English-speaking wine authority in the world more influential than Jancis Robinson?”—Eric Asimov, New York Times
“World’s coolest wine critic.”—Bon Appétit
“Jancis Robinson is a force. The prodigious British wine writer hopped on the Internet long before most other wine folks could muster a blog post or a tweet . . . She seems to be everywhere at once, tasting, commenting, participating.” —S. Irene Virbila, Los Angeles Times
On Sale Date: September 20, 2016 ISBN: 978-1-4197-2266-0 US $12.95/CD $15.95Hardcover 5 x 7" • 112 pages 30 black-and-white illustrations
“It is our finest hope that this book
honors past, present, and future Americans alike. It no doubt
will also offer them a stiff drink. Our research team has delved
into several centuries’ worth of recipes culled from cookbooks
of the period, historical record, anecdote, and folklore. We’ve
also taken steps so that many of the recipes bear a waste-not-
want-not approach. That resourceful, DIY spirit is central not
just to our own philosophy, but also to the early American
spirit, which we know you’ll find as refreshing as we did.”
STEVEN GRASSE
“This is the ideal read for anyone with an affinity for the drink and a thirst for its bottomless history.”
—Dave Lombardo, Slayer
“Steve Grasse takes readers on a wild romp through America’s early drinking traditions, throwing in cordials, ciders, wines, ales, whiskeys, and a boatload of recipes from the early Republic updated for modern drinkers and toasty tipplers.”
— Matthew Rowley, author of Lost Spirits of Prohibition
