From Publishers Weekly
Gray Nantucket winter days often need a little brightening, and Chase ( Nantucket Open House Cookbook ) does her best to dispel the windy gloom with such snazzy solace as curried lentil soup with chutney butter, pumpkin prosciutto with Parmesan lasagne, and braised lamb shanks with bourbon-barbecue sauce. This is intensely flavored, "happy" food culled eclectically from the author's catering experiences, her Polish roots and ongoing European travels. Not one for subtlety in either food or prose, Chase--self-acknowledged as one of the "new breed of chefs during the megatrend eighties, Ivy-educated and food-fad fed"--admits in her introduction to one chapter, "I find the recipes . . . magnificent." Actually, she's not far from the truth. Occasionally combinations may be a little madcap, as in seared squid with tamari beurre blanc or whole roasted foie gras with orange and ginger, but more frequently Chase's style and enthusiasm are contagious, and the impulse is to run to the kitchen to recreate salmon and wild rice fish cakes or warm tomato pie or walnut-rum-raisin applesauce cake. The variety of chapter choices, too, is frisky, beginning with "So Long Summer," with stops at "December Dazzle" and "Stormy Weather and Magic Mountains," and reaching an appropriate close with "The Tease of Spring." Illustrations not seen by PW.

Book Description
Whether your winter blows with snow and rain or is just a sunbelt state of mind, a trove of delicious, soul-warming fare awaits in COLD WEATHER COOKING, from the author of The Nantucket Open-House Cookbook with over 214,000 copies in print. Guided by a sense that winter is the season for seasonings-from ginger, garlic, and rosemary in Mixed Winter Squash Provencal to the cilantro and walnut crust on a dazzling Roast Rack of Lamb-this gifted cook and author provides dishes that are even gutsier than her summertime favorites. She pays special attention to the late harvest, helps cooks make the most of fall fruits and vegetables, offers chapters on winter grilling and cooking over the hearth. More than 300 recipes range from bracing drinks for the first sign of autumn to glorious spring dishes for an Easter celebration. Warm Tomato Pie. Wild Rice, Mushroom, and Oyster Bisque. Pasta with Gorgonzola and Spinach. Plus Scallops in Sweet and Hot Lime Sauce, Deviled Beef Ribs, Broccoli with Toasted Hazelnuts and Pancetta, Sweet Potato Pancakes, Pumpkin Bread Pudding, Chestnut Mousse Cake, and Christmas Truffle Tart. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club's HomeStyle Books. 112,000 copies in print.
Reader Reviews
This is a cookbook I turn to again and again. The flavors are wonderful, the recipes diverse and sophisticated (though you often can cut back on oil). Be sure to try the Saucisson Paysanne (leftovers are great on buttered parsley noodles; reduced fat kielbasa works fine, but don't use fat-free or really low fat...it gets tough), Italian Rosemary Potatoes, Bay Scallops Gremolata, the Orzo and Roasted Vegetable Salad (great for potlucks as it serves twice as many as the recipe says!), the Baby Carrots with Brown Sugar and Mustard, and the Mixed Greens with Spiced Pecans, Chevre and Hot Cider Dressing. Be sure to check out her Nantucket Open House Cookbook as well.
