Judy Wicks, the owner of Philadelphia's renowned White Dog Cafe, has a clear agenda. "I use food to lure innocent customers into social action," she says. Since 1973, her restaurant has been known as much for the themed evenings it hosts to raise awareness for various causes as for the food prepared by Chef Kevin Von Klause, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. As in her restaurant, promoting causes is important in this book. Stories about trips to Cuba and to Nicaragua prove that Wicks is no sunshine hippie, but rather a deeply committed entrepreneur. (The Cafe serves coffee from organically grown beans imported by a company started by a fellow traveler she invited on one of those Nicaraguan trips, and it has ongoing relationships with a number of "sister" restaurants around the world.)

The White Dog Cafe may be furnished with a funky hodgepodge of pieces added over the years as the place grew from a takeout shop to an establishment seating 200, but the recipes are carefully written and the food is broadly appealing. Chilled Roast Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Crème Fraîche, French Mushroom Soup, and Sour Cream Coffee Cake are typical selections. They and the rest of the 200-plus dishes in this cookbook prove Wicks and Van Klause know how to serve up noncontroversial, popular food while promoting radical ideas. --Dana Jacobi -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

From Booklist

A combination of Ben & Jerry's social activist philosophy and Charlie Trotter's emphasis on fresh and native ingredients, this 250-recipe collection from the White Dog Cafetranscends the restaurant's location in Philadelphia. First, it is a manual in do-goodism, thanks to the efforts and beliefs of restaurant founder Wicks. Every chapter begins with a story of outreach, from exploring the organic gardens of a nearby prison to mentoring youth in a nine-month program. Second, it is a guide to food experimentation, mixing the best of ethnic cuisines into one rather spicy melting pot. Biscotti, under the tutelage of executive chef von Klause, becomes a savory cracker with rosemary, Parmesan, and pine nuts. Third, it is a repository of informational quick tips, including notes about the difference between New Mexican chili powder and the store-bought kind. Occasionally, recipes become a bit too complicated to duplicate in a land of fast dinners. But the cafe's imagination regarding both food and life should spark some great ideas. Barbara Jacobs

A great book for your kitchen shelf--you'll use it! 8. Juni 2000

Von drdebs

Format:Taschenbuch

I use this Cook Book all the time when I want to prepare a special meal without much effort or fuss. The White Dog Cafe Cookbook has never failed me: all of the recipes I've tried yield yummy food with a bit of a kick.

The White Dog Cafe is a progressive and socially-responsible restaurant in Philadelphia. While I've never eaten there, the next time I'm out that way I'm going to give it a try because the recipes here are so excellent.

The Soups, Salads and Light Meals, Main Courses, and Desserts sections are the ones I use most often. The Soups are fantastic. I'm a real soup lover, and am always looking for new and (more exciting) soups to try. Our favorites are the Sweet Potato and Lemon Grass Soup with Peanut Pesto (a Vietnamese-inspired dish), the Curried Aplle Bisque, and the French Mushroom Soup. The salads are equally impressive, especially the Warm Mushroom Spinach Salad which always wins great praise at dinner parties. Many of the main courses require demi-glace (kind of a pain) but the Chicken and Mushrooms in Marsala-Sage Sauce is excellent, as is the Rosemary-Mustard London Broil with Wild Mushroom Glaze. In desserts the Apple-Cranberry Deep-dish Streusel Pie has become a Thanksgiving tradition, and the Milk Chocolate Cream Pie will please all chocolate lovers, kids, and kids at heart.

I don't think you will be disappointed if you buy this book, but will turn to it again and again.

This cook book has great recipes and is a great read. 19. Mai 1999

I love this cook book. I love reading it. I love cooking from it. If you are looking for something different to read or to cook, this is the book for you. The Black Bean soup is the best I have found. The layered meat loaf is wonderful. The authors' commitment to good food and good community is inspiring, and reminds me of the role food - its preparation and its consumption - can play in making the world a better place.

very sloppily edited 7. November 1998

Mistakes galore-i.e. in one recipe 5 ounces of sliced wild mushrooms makes 2 cups and in another 1/4 pounds(sic) makes 8 cups. The recipe for veal glace is given as page 000, indicates that the vein can be pulled from a cooked shrimp and so it goes.
