Belgian beer pride is one of the things that unite this country. This third revamped, revised and updated edition of our iconic All Belgian Beers demonstrates that Belgium still lives up to its reputation of being a beer lover’s paradise. Over 600 new beers have successfully been introduced to the market since the last update of this beer bible in 2011. All of these new stouts, lagers, trappists, lambics, abbey beers, ales, tripels, wheat and fruit beers... have been included in this monumental bestseller, now featuring over 1600 beers!

All Belgian Beers offers an alphabetical overview of the beers brewed by recognized Belgian brewers, for their own assortment or for other beer companies. As in the previous editions, each beer is fully described and illustrated with pictures of the glasses and bottles.

Beers from industrial companies and smaller craft breweries, as well as microbreweries and home breweries have been included, as long as they are bottled and sold outside the brewery or local pub. Own-label beers for supermarkets, private label beers or occasional beers have deliberately not been taken into account. The new edition of All Belgian Beers holds many new discoveries and is still the most exhaustive and indispensable guide to the flourishing Belgian beer culture.

Annette Joseph shares recipes from the charming Lunigiana region of Tuscany that were developed at her medieval fortress, La Fortezza. This is the first book on the cuisine of this important slow-food area.

Lunigiana is a rugged, mountainous region of Tuscany, flanked by the Liguria coastline and Emilia-Romagna, whose cuisine has been shaped by its distinctive landscape and location. Author and stylist Annette Joseph purchased and renovated a stunning medieval fortress, aptly named La Fortezza (“The Fortress”), in this little-known area. Enamored by Lunigiana’s rich food heritage and traditions, Joseph sought out authentic and traditional dishes from the best chefs, home cooks, and slow-food purveyors in the region. This book showcases these rustic recipes, some of which have been enjoyed for centuries.

Lunigiana’s cuisine brings together the flavors of both the coast and the mountains and draws inspiration from the neighboring regions. It is home to unique ingredients, such as chestnut flour, and its specialties are often still prepared the ancient way. Lunigiana is also recognized by UNESCO as a sustainable region, and Joseph’s recipes highlight slow-food practices, such as sourcing seasonal ingredients from local producers.

Breathtaking photographs by David Loftus highlight the beauty of Lunigiana’s cuisine and countryside, as well as La Fortezza’s dreamy vineyard, orchards, and kitchen garden. This book is an incredible culinary and visual journey into an undiscovered region in Italy and a must-have for anyone who loves Italian food and culture.

Admit it. You're here for the famous honey cake. 

A glorious confection of ten airy layers, flavored with burnt honey and topped with a light dulce de leche cream frost­ing. It's an impressive cake, but there's so much more. Wait until you try the Dobos Torta or Plum Kuchen or Vanilla Cheesecake.

Throughout her baking career, Michelle Polzine of San Francisco's celebrated 20th Cen­tury Cafe has been obsessed with the tortes, strudels, Kipferl, rugelach, pierogi, blini, and other famous delicacies you might find in a grand cafe of Vienna or Prague. Now she shares her passion in a book that doubles as a master class, with over 75 no-fail recipes, dozens of innovative techniques that bakers of every skill level will find indispensable (no more cold but­ter for a perfect tart shell), and a revelation of in­gredients, from lemon verbena to peach leaves.

Many recipes are lightened for contem­porary tastes, and are presented through a California lens — think Nectarine Strudel or Date-Pistachio Torte. A surprising num­ber are gluten-free. And all are written with the author's enthusiastic and singular voice, describing a cake as so good it "will knock your socks off, and wash and fold them too."

Who wouldn't want a slice of that? With Schlag, of course.

There’s the "Al Capone", a mixture of rye and Campari that’s as charming and dangerous as its namesake.

There’s even the Stephanie St Clair, a cocktail with Caribbean rum that’s as smooth as she was.
