Invitation to Dinner
Author: Abigail Kirsch
Publisher: Broadway
ISBN: 9780385488174
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Abigail Kirsch is one of the country's preeminent caterers. In the course of a year she serves delicious, impeccably presented food to more than 125,000 people, but--like the rest of us--her busy schedule leaves her with little time to entertain friends and family. So, for all of us who want to know: "How can I possibly cook a dinner to impress the boss without taking a sick day to do it?" and "How can I give a formal dinner when I don't own china or silver--and wouldn't have time to polish the silver even if I owned it?," Abigail Kirsch has written the book that provides the answers--as well as solutions to such vexing dilemmas as what to do when the soufflé falls or it rains on the day of your cookout. Invitation to Dinner includes twenty-five complete menus for occasions as various as Casual Dinners, Celebratory Formal Events, Buffets, Grilling Parties, Brunches, Hors d'Oeuvre Parties, and Dessert Parties. Each full menu revolves around a main dish (which Kirsch has termed "the Main Event") and a dessert ("the Grand Finale"), but the appetizers and accompaniments are offered in two ways: one complex, such as an appetizer of Endive with Roasted Asparagus, Ribbons of Cantaloupe, and Vinaigrette, and a side dish of Herbed Potatoes with Two Cheeses; and a choice of easier-to-prepare alternatives, such as Sun-dried Tomato Guacamole in Radicchio Cups and Horseradish Mashed Potatoes. Either one will complement the Main Event, and the host is left to decide whether to go for broke or keep it simple. In addition to the menus themselves, there are tips on presentation and deciding what kind of party is best for you, a guide to beverage choices and quantities, and suggestions for essential equipment. In short, drawing on her years of experience, Kirsch takes the party giver by the hand, points out potential pitfalls before they occur, and ensures a successful event every time.

Zeus a Study in Ancient Religion
Author: Arthur Bernard Cook
Publisher: CUP Archive
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Detailing the mythology behind the Greek god Zeus, this volume also includes information about the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.?Sculpted in 432 BC by Greek artist Phidias, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia is one of the most recognized Ancient Wonders. Nearly 40 feet (12 meters) tall, the statue occupied half of the width of the temple where it sat. Ancient Greek geographer Strabo once noted in the first century BC that "if Zeus were to stand up, he would unroof the temple."?Made of ivory and gold-plated bronze, the statue sat in an intricate throne of cedar inlaid with ivory, gold, ebony and precious gems. In Zeus??right hand, he held a small statue of the goddess of victory, Nike. In his left hand, there was a scepter with an eagle perched on top.?It is believed that the Roman Emperor Caligula was the cause of the statue?s destruction. According to Roman historian Suetonius, Caligula gave orders that statues of gods that were especially famous, including that of Zeus at Olympia, were to be brought from Greece in order to have their heads removed and a marble head of Caligula put in their place. According to legend, just as workers were moving stones to disassemble the Statue of Zeus, there was a loud moment of laughter, followed by the collapsing of scaffolding and the structure, killing some workers and leaving others to flee for their lives.?Until recently, historians and archaeologists debated the time period in which the statue was built. The recent discovery of Phidias??workshop in the 1950s confirms that the temple was completed around the third quarter of the fifth century BC. Today, archaeologists continue to study the techniques Phidias used to construct the temple and the statue, and admirers of Ancient Greece admire the statue?s place on the Ancient Wonders list.
