Lena Tabori, Publisher

fal l

In 2011, I resolved to publish fewer titles and publish them better. Our backlist with RH moved last year to well over 50% of our business. Cooking with Italian Grandmothers went into its 4th reprint in 14 months. A third of our list is in reprint. This is all good. We have three spring titles on our list, each one more satisfying than the last. As the virtual bookstore is crawling into many of your laps, we don’t want our titles to vanish into a tablet. Ours want to be seen, to be held, to be in your house reminding you of who you are and telling the world that comes through your door something about yourself. They want to be wrapped up and given as gifts that convey the love, care, and respect you feel. They are not gift cards, we publish experiences. For Fall, I have five titles to offer you: two for your kitchen, your hunting lodge, your guy; one for your lover, your art lover, your museum goer; one for that person inside yourself who is looking for ways to give back or for that friend who is searching to bring some serious meaning to his or her life; and one for you or a family member who needs to say, “Thank you” to a nurse or “Congratulations” to a nursing graduate. Jesse Griffiths, author of Afield: A Chef’s Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish, is a superstar guide who will take you hunting feral pigs in Creepy Canyon, snipe in the newly cut rice fields, creek fishing for sunfish, and crabbing on the coast of Texas (to name a few). There is a rugged, human, real quality to this book, like a great photographic travelogue. And, then there is the bonus: eighty-five recipes and amazing step by steps all photographed by Jody Horton. Marissa Guggiana went back on the road for the second edition of Primal Cuts; Revised and Updated, adding seven more butchers from Seattle to Providence, Berkeley to Charleston. We will sell out again as the country leans toward the inexorable growth of the local and sustainable movement. We simply want to be healthier. Katrina Fried, our Associate Publisher and the author of American Farmer, and Paul Mobley, photographer of American Farmer, have teamed up again to create an astonishing book that profiles 50 everyday Americans who are changing the world. In photograph and interview, extraordinary ordinary people talk about their lives in non-profits and how they came to do the stunning things they have done, changing the lives of others for the better—sometimes hundreds of lives, sometimes thousands, sometimes only in America, sometimes in countries all over the world. I read their stories. Sometimes I wept. Mostly I was astounded at what they managed to accomplish, often starting from so little. Everyday Heroes is a book to give and to receive. It may change your life. This is our ambition. We rarely publish true art books at Welcome (although, in my Abrams and Stewart, Tabori & Chang days, I published many). This will go down as one of the great ones. Veronica Kavass’ romantic, ravishing, and astonishingly well-written Artists in Love: From Picasso & Gilot to Christo & Jeanne-Claude, A Century of Creative and Romantic Partnerships is addictive to read and so beautifully illustrated and designed that it takes my breath away. The couples met as early as 1902 and as late as 1989…they are mostly American but also German, French, British, Spanish, Swedish, Bulgarian, Irish, Serbian, Mexican, Russian, Swiss, Dutch, Italian, and Cuban… They loved, often married, worked alongside one another, often separated, sometimes remarried. Their work often influenced the other, as in the case of Krasner and Pollock, and sometimes to the point where they almost seemed to merge: Christo and Jeanne-Claude sometimes felt like two parts of one. They were sometimes equally acknowledged, sometimes not. Twenty-one of them are still alive. You will love this book. The American Nurse—photography and interviews by Carolyn Jones—arrived in our offices at the last minute but we had to make room for it on our list. Carolyn is brilliant and her passion and respect for the work of nurses is huge. This will be the book you will give to that very special nurse who took very special care of you or a loved one. This is also the book to give to the graduate who has chosen this compassionate, human career. What a list. Little but mighty.

By Veronica Kavass “Being in love and making art are both creative acts that require ingenuity, the ability to capitalize on failures, sense of humor and all sorts of other things. Artists in Love is a transfixing account of the way that artist lovers create their worlds of work and love.”

-Laurie Anderson, composer, musician & performance artist

For centuries, great artists have been drawn together in friendship and in love. In Artists in Love, curator and writer Veronica Kavass delves into the passionate and creative underpinnings of the art world’s most provocative romances. From Sonia and Robert Delaunay to Marina Abramovic & Ulay, Kavass’ intimate and daring text provides a generous glimpse into the inspiring and sometimes tempestuous relationships between celebrated artists throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. From poetic beginnings to shocking endings (and vice-versa), the various dimensions of the artist couple archetypes are ceaselessly explored. Some are enduring and collaborative, yielding astonishing parallel bodies of work, as with Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson and Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Others are adoring and explosive, such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and Lee Miller and Man Ray. Essays revealing what compelled these dynamic artists to partner, how their pairing influenced their work, and why their love may have faltered or endured, are accompanied by lush illustrations of their art and documentary photographs of the couple. The first major visual book to explore this subject in such epic scope, Artists in Love is a revelatory and riveting journey into the hearts and minds of our greatest artist couples.

Veronica Kavass comes from a diverse background in the arts, ranging from gallery and museum work in London and New York, to designing libraries for art advisors and collectors to running an artist residency in the Hudson River Valley. She has written extensively about artists and exhibitions for various publications. She most recently re-routed her way back to her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee through a visiting curator position at Cheekwood Museum (where she started looking at art as a child). She holds a Masters in curatorial practice and critical writing from Chelsea College of Art in London. In following her love for storytelling devices, she trained as an oral historian through her work with StoryCorps. Her first book, The Last Good War: The Faces and Voices of WWII, was a powerful chronicle of American veterans’ experiences during the war, and was a recipient of Foreword Magazine’s Book of the Year award. She currently lives in New York City and Nashville, Tennessee, where she teaches and writes about local art for the newspaper The Nashville Scene.

Photographs by Paul Mobley Text by Katrina Fried Foreword by Arianna Huffington In the tradition of American Farmer and The Last Good War, Welcome Books proudly presents Everyday Heroes: 50

Americans Changing the World One Nonprofit at a Time. This groundbreaking visual book introduces you to the stories, causes, and portraits of fifty courageous individuals who have made an astonishing difference in the lives of others. From activists who have rallied the support of hundreds of volunteers to bring such necessities as clean drinking water, economic support, and urgent medical care to developing nations, to educational leaders who are using their gifts to elevate the opportunities of the poor and disadvantaged, to crusaders of equal rights and women’s advocacy, and many more. Award-winning photographer Paul Mobley brings a grace and epic quality to his portraits of these extraordinary “ordinary” heroes. Traveling the country to capture his subjects where they live and work, Mobley has created a body of images that harnesses the spirit and energy of giving. Portraits are accompanied by first-person narratives by Katrina Fried, which share a unique view into the journeys of these heroes and their causes. These are stories of tenacity, passion, innovation, and daring, of regular people who’ve made an exceptional impact on those in need, often at great personal or financial sacrifice. You will hear, for instance, the inspiring story of Anne Mahlum, a young woman who stepped off the corporate ladder to found Back on My Feet, a nonprofit that uses the sport of running to help the homeless rehabilitate their lives; Geoffrey Canada, the president and CEO of the Harlem Children’s Zone, who’s pioneering efforts to reform education in northern Manhattan have touched thousands of students and families; Susan Burton who after fifteen years in and out of the justice system, rehabilitated herself and started A New Way of Life Reentry Project, which provides housing and support services to formerly incarcerated women in South Central Los Angeles; and Roy Prosterman, a man who has devoted an entire lifetime to securing land rights for the poor throughout the developing world. A complete directory of the organizations featured in Everyday Heroes is included.

PRIMAL CUTS COOKING WITH AMERICA’S BEST BUTCHERS By Marissa Guggiana Introduction by Andrew Zimmern Foreword by Dario Cecchini

D! E T A D P U & REVISED

Butchery was nearly a dead art until a recent renaissance turned progressive meat cutters into culinary cult idols.

Inspired by a locally driven, nose-to-tail approach to butchery, this new wave of meat mavens is redefining the way we buy and cook our beef, pork, fowl, and game. The momentum of this revived butcher-love has created a carnivorous frenzy, pulling a new generation of home cooks straight into the kitchen—Primal Cuts: Cooking with America’s Best Butchers is their modern meat bible. Marissa Guggiana, food activist, writer, and fourth generation meat purveyor, traveled the country to discover fifty of our most gifted butchers and share their favorite dishes, personal stories, and cooking techniques. From the Michelin star chef to the small farmer who raises free-range animals—butchers are the guide for this unique visual cookbook, packed with tons of their most prized recipes and good old-fashioned know-how. Readers will learn how to cook conventional and unconventional meat cuts, how to talk to their local butchers, and even how to source and buy whole animals for their home freezers. Much more than just a cookbook, Primal Cuts is a revealing look into the lives, philosophy, and work of true food artisans, all bound by a common respect for the food they produce and an absolute love for what they do.

“I think the butcher trend is just the meat part of simple living. I refuse to think that sustainability is going to fall out of fad.” —Josh Applestone, Fleisher’s, NY

“Somewhere along the way we realized that were were butchers, not meat cutters. It was an evolution.” —Tanya Cauthen, Belmont Butchery, VA

Dario Cecchini, the son of generations of butchers, continues the family tradition in his Antica Macelleria Cecchini in Panzano, Chianti. Everyone becomes one of the family when they enter his workshop or his restaurants Solociccia, Officina della Bistecca, and Mac Dario that he opened right next to the original butcher shop. Cited in many publications, including Bill Buford’s HEAT and Douglas Gayeton’s Slow: Life in A Tuscan Town.

Afield

A Chef’s Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish By Jesse Griffiths Photographs by Jody Horton Foreword by Andrew Zimmern Born from the principles of the local food movement, a growing number of people are returning to hunting and

preparing fish and game for their home tables. Afield: A Chef’s Guide to Preparing and Cooking Wild Game and Fish is at once a manifesto for this movement and a manual packed with everything the new hunter needs to know. Wild foods, when managed responsibly, are sustainable, ethical, and delicious, and author Jesse Griffiths combines traditional methods of hunting, butchering, and preparing fish and game with 85 mouthwatering recipes. Afield throws open the doors of field dressing for novice and experienced hunters alike, supplying the know-how for the next logical step in the local, sustainable food movement. Stemming from a commitment to locally grown vegetables and nose-to-tail cooking, Griffiths is a knowledgeable guide on this tour of tradition and taste, offering a combination of hunting lessons, butchery methods, recipes, including how to scale, clean, stuff, fillet, skin, braise, fry and more. Fellow hunting enthusiast and food photographer Jody Horton takes you into the field, follows Griffiths step-by-step along the way and then provides you with exquisite plate photographs of the finished feasts. Filled with descriptive stories and photographs, Afield takes the reader along for the hunt, from duck and dove to deer and wild hog. Game and fish include:

Doves, Deer, Hogs, Squirrel, Rabbits, Ducks, Geese, Turkey, Flounder, White Bass, Crabs, Catfish, and more.

Roasted Wild Duck with Tangerines Roasting a duck whole seems like the respectful thing to do—after all, this bird flew all the way from Canada (maybe a few times) before you went and shot it. The red-wine brine makes for a more flavorful, moist bird, accented by tart wine and spices, and tempers the assertive flavor of the duck. You will have to do some chewing no matter what—this is a primal preparation and will require picking up the duck and eating from the bones. Do not overcook a whole roasted duck, or it will be intolerably dry and have some of the livery iron flavor that game can have when overcooked. Choose mild-flavored puddle ducks like teal, gadwall, wigeon and mallards for roasting, and leave the diving ducks like ringnecks, redheads and bluebills for other preparations, like gumbo.

1. Brine the ducks in the red-wine brine per instructions on page 30. Remove the duck from the brine and dry very well. Rub the breasts with the softened butter, and then season with pepper. 2. Preheat the oven to 450°F. 3. Cut the tangerines in half and sprinkle with the sugar. Place the duck and tangerine halves, cut side up, in one or two large cast-iron pans. 4. Roast the ducks to medium-rare or medium (internal temperature of 135–145 degrees), about 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the duck. Small ducks, like teal, should only take a few minutes, but the larger mallards will take longer. Baste the duck with rendered fat every 10 minutes. 5. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Cut each duck in half down the breastbone and squeeze a roasted tangerine over the top.

Filleting Flounder

4 puddle ducks, plucked 1 gallon red-wine brine (page 30)

You will need a sharp, thin-bladed fillet knife.

8 tablespoons butter, softened Freshly ground black pepper 4 tangerines 4 tablespoons sugar

Serves 8 to 16

s e p t

2 01 2

Make a cut from behind the flounder’s gills to the tail at a point about halfway up the side of the fish.

Using the tip of the knife, follow the bones along the bottom fillet all the way to the fin.

Repeat this process, removing the top fillet by following the contour of the bones. Cut above the flounder’s head at an angle and remove the fillet.

Top fillets are removed.

Make a similar cut along the bottom side of the flounder from the gills to the tail, following the backbone.

Remove these smaller bottom fillets.

Grip the flounder skin at the tail end and cut the fillet away, keeping the knife at a slight angle.

Repeat with remaining fillets. Save the bones and skin; flounder makes excellent fish stock.

THE AMERICAN NURSE PHOTOGRAPHS & INTERVIEWS BY CAROLYN JONES

By Carolyn Jones This extraordinary book of 75 portraits, interviews, and biographies is the result of the American Nurse Project, an endeavor launched by Fresenius Kabi, a worldwide leader in infusion therapy and clinical nutrition. Enlisting the talents of Carolyn Jones, an award-winning filmmaker and creator of numerous photography books, and her producer, Lisa Frank, the project set out to capture and share the images and stories of nurses from all across America and to celebrate the role of the nurse in this country’s healthcare system.

In The American Nurse, readers are invited to think about nurses in a way that they may never have before, unless they have been under a nurse’s care. This body of work will inspire audiences to focus their attention on the nurses who serve as healers in their community, and whose wealth of knowledge needs to be tapped in order to solve today’s pressing healthcare issues. The challenge of creating a rich portrait of nursing in America began with a map of the U.S. and a red pen. Carolyn Jones wanted to cover as much territory as possible, with the hope that along the way she would capture stories touching on the kinds of issues that nurses are dealing with in every corner of the country. Some of the issues might be specific to a particular area, like the nurses who were charged with evacuating patients in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Others would be universal no matter where Jones visited, such as nurses providing emotional support to patients and families to help get them through the toughest times in their lives. The first nurse I met was Mohamed. He had himself been born into poverty in rural Guyana. Two things led to his decision to become a nurse once in the US: he had breathing problems as a child and spent an enormous amount of time in hospitals; and his father was a spiritual healer in their local community who treated people by gently blowing air.

— Carolyn Jones

The journey began in New York City, where Carolyn met nurses working in the district with the highest rate of hunger in the U.S., as well as nurses doing health outreach to at-risk teens. She moved southward, stopping in Baltimore to meet nurses on the cutting edge of healthcare and nurse educators training the next generation, and then travelled to San Diego, where she met nurses at a VA hospital that is home to the largest concentration of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. In Louisiana, she went behind bars and met nurses dealing with prisoners; and in Riverton, Wyoming she learned about the health needs of the Native American population there. Having crisscrossed the country, from rural Eastern Kentucky to Florida to New Orleans to Nebraska to Wisconsin to San Francisco and Chicago, Jones presents a compelling portrait of a key figure on the front lines of healthcare today: the American nurse.

New York City landmarks were born during two most stylish and dazzling decades: the 1920s and 1930s. The Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and the Waldorf-Astoria—as well as dozens of lesser-known but equally stunning office buildings and apartment houses grace this edition. Richard Berenholtz’s photographs of the finest examples of New York City’s art deco architecture are accompanied by literary text from the era.

This awe-inspiring visual odyssey through one of the world’s greatest treasures is an extraordinary publishing achievement. Beautifully photographed by renowned photographer Jon Ortner, this deluxe, numbered edition showcases over 200 images, including 100 panoramas and 10 gatefolds that open to four feet. Shot in over 60 locations across a 130,000-square-mile area, the images cover national parks, national monuments, state parks, wilderness areas, and tribal lands, including the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Petrified Forest.

Fink created forty original watercolor skyscapes, one for each chapter in the book of Exodus. This extraordinary text details the Jews’ enslavement in Egypt, their harrowing journey with Moses out of bondage, and the new laws established for them by their God. In these folio prints Sam Fink reaches his family across an ocean— and readers around the world—with breathtaking images that speak to this powerful story. Each watercolor is meticulously hand-lettered with the Old Testament text, in Hebrew and in the Jewish Publication Society’s 1917 English translation. Housed in a blue cloth-covered clamshell box.

It’s a beautiful thing, our country’s Constitution, and this extraordinary limited edition gives it its due. Nonagenarian Sam Fink’s unadorned, classically simple calligraphy and exquisite illustrations—originally done in pen-and-ink in 1987 and newly painted in color for these imposing folios (15" x 22")—are approachable and profoundly affecting, underscoring what an elegantly simple document our forefathers had the wisdom and forethought to craft. Housed in an exquisite deep clamshell box (16-1/4" x 23-1/4") and lined in blue Saifu cloth, it also contains a limited-edition print of the entire Constitution, newly calligraphed onto one sheet, signed and numbered by Sam Fink. It is a worthy addition to any home.
