Treme

Inspired by David Simon’s award-winning HBO series Treme, this book is a vibrant celebration of the culinary spirit of post-Katrina New Orleans. It features recipes and tributes from both real and fictional characters who highlight the Crescent City’s rich foodways.

From chef Janette Desautel’s own Crawfish Ravioli and LaDonna Batiste-Williams’s Smothered Turnip Soup to the city’s finest Sazerac, New Orleans’ cuisine is a mélange of influences from Creole to Vietnamese—at once new and old, genteel and down-home. In the words of Toni Bernette, it is all "seasoned with delicious nostalgia."

As visually rich as the series itself, the book includes 100 heritage and contemporary recipes from the city’s heralded restaurants such as Upperline, Bayona, Restaurant August, and Herbsaint. It also features original recipes from renowned chefs like Eric Ripert and David Chang, alongside other Treme guest stars.

For the six million who come to New Orleans each year for its food and music, this book is the ultimate homage to the traditions that make it one of the world’s greatest cities.

The first lesson Lister learned about space travel was you should never try it. But Lister didn't have a choice. All he remembered was going on a birthday celebration pub crawl through London. When he came to his senses again, with nothing in his pockets but a passport in the name of Emily Berkenstein.

So he did the only thing he could. Amazed to discover they would actually hire him, he joined the space corps—and found himself aboard Red Dwarf, a spaceship as big as a small city that, six or seven years from now, would get him back to Earth.

What Lister couldn't foresee was that he'd inadvertently signed up for a one-way jaunt three million years into the future—a future which would see him the last living member of the human race, with only a hologram crew mate and a highly evolved cat for company. Of course, that was before the ship broke the light barrier and things began to get really weird...
