The Great Pastamaker Cookbook - An exciting collection of fresh, healthy and easy-to-make recipes
Nobody knows when the first pasta was made, but it is certainly one of the world\'s oldest foods. The Chinese developed their noodles as early as 5000 B.C., and later introduced them into Japan through Korea. Early East European nomads car-ried a type of dried dough that was grated into boiling goats milk. In ancient Greece and Rome, cooks created a pasta known as Iaganon or laganum, similar to today\'s tagliatelle. And the early Arab world invented its own version of pasta, called couscous.

The Great Sausage Maker Cookbook
For Americans sausage evokes pleasant memories of ball games, picnics, backyard barbecues and just plain people having fun together, enjoying life. From the lowly hot dog or frankfurter to the Italian sausage or salami eaten as the family gathers around the table or to the more sophisticated thoughts of European sausages eaten in special restaurants like Tapas Bars, English Pubs, Greek Tavernas, French Bistros or even Italian Trattorias, the sausage holds a place in our hearts.

The Pasta Sauce Collection
Pasta is probably the most versatile of foods. It is made into literally thousands of variations around the world. But the secret of pasta's variety isn't just in the many different shapes. By far the greatest variety in pasta dishes results from variations of the sauce or topping used to add flavor to the pasta. And even if we focus on primarily European variations, the choices are still too numerous to count. In this book, we have collected a virtual buffet of tastes and styles, for healthy appetites and light eaters; for those with simple tastes, and those with a passion for the exotic. Indeed pasta pleases everyone. A five-year-old with spaghetti and meatballs is enjoying his supper every bit as much as a dinner guest savoring truffles in wine sauce.

Pesto - The Art of Cooking with Herb Pastes
"Classic" pesto is undoubtedly one of the world's great culinary pleasures. Made from fresh basil leaves, pale green virgin olive oil, a well-aged sharp sheep's cheese, garlic, and pine nuts, this sublime experience is usually enjoyed in summer months when fresh herbs are available. In Genoa, Italy, in the Liguria region where pesto originated, fresh basil is available year- round. Genovese cooks used a mortar and pestle to grind the pesto ingredients into a smooth green paste hence the name pesto.
