presents .. . Anti-Defamation League® \ , D ;7- creasing fascination and interest in food on the part of the public. The Best Cookbook of the Year and the winners of -the Health and Special Diet Category, and the Jane Grigson Award, exemplify- ing distinguished scholarship, are reviewed below along with a se- lection of recipes from each. The Best Cookbook of the Year award was presented by the world's most enduring and enter- taining television cooks, Julia Child and Graham Kerr. And the winner was ... John Ash, for his book From the Earth to the Table: John Ash's Wine Country Cuisine by Dutton publishers, $29.95. Mr. Ash, who is culinary direc- tor of Fetzer Vineyards, Mendo- cino County, Calif, received the coveted crystal whisk, Academy Awards-style, to the cheers of more than 1,200 food profession- als. In this book, Mr. Ash main- tains that we are undergoing a profound change in how we think about and prepare what we eat. He notes the new American and especially wine country cui- sine, what I call development of the new "mother sauces." The original "mothers" were high in butter, cream and other saturat- ed fats. In my cooking today, much is replaced by new lighter sauces such as vinaigrettes, salsas, pestos, chutneys and juices. Mr. Ash's philosophy is carried out and influenced by ethnic in- gredients that are increasingly available and most important, have more flavor. From the Earth to the Table contains 300 recipes featuring seasonal ingredients and distinctive flavor combina- tions. Suggestions for matching food with wine are included with each recipe and handy culinary tips are scattered throughout the book. The recipes below reflect Mr. Ash's passion for fresh ingredients with pure flavors. , Winners of the Health and Spe- cial Diet category, the late Richard Sax and Marie Simmons, have reinvented the way we cook and eat. In Lighter, quicker, better: Cooking for the Way We Eat To- day, published by William Mor- row and Co., $25, recipes, traditionally on fat overload, have been trimmed, not necessarily eliminated, but taste is vibrant and authentic. This cookbook is a return to the simple foods in which, say the authors, our tastes are grounded. The delicious result is a collection of recipes for quick, tasty dishes — that happen to be good for you, too. In the 14 chap- ters from Appetizers to Cakes and Other Baked Goods, the variety of flavors and techniques accom- modate the lifestyles for today's busy cooks. There are healthful substitutions for baking, charts for greens, pastas and grains, a cluster of food facts, and helpful cooking instructions.
