The French Laundry cookbook
\"Thomas Keller, chef/proprietor of the French Laundry in the Napa Valley is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses.\"--BOOK JACKET. \"From innovative soup techniques, to the proper way to cook green vegetables, to secrets of great fish cookery, to the creation of breathtaking desserts; from beurre monte to foie gras au torchon, to a wild and thoroughly unexpected take on coffee and doughnuts, The French Laundry Cookbook captures, through recipes, essays, profiles, and photography, one of America's great restaurants, its great chef, and the food that makes both unique.\"--Jacket.

Literary Sisterhoods
Building on scholarship, such as feminist criticism, that has contributed to an awareness of the distinctive perspectives on female experience revealed in women's writing, Heller reveals how women authors construct their female protagonists' quests for creative self-expression. By situating these narrative journeys in their own times and cultures, Literary Sisterhoods shows how they contribute to a common tradition that speaks to readers today.

The Bluestockings and Virtue Friendship
Drawing on the example of two friendships of Elizabeth Montagu, this essay argues that \"virtue friendship\" was the standard against which eighteenth-century men and women, especially the Bluestockings, measured their personal relationships. Deborah Heller argues that this virtue-based, rational ideal of friendship ultimately derived from Aristotle and his treatises on ethics. Feeling and affect are indeed essential components of this virtuebased model of friendship, but they need to be directed toward what is truly lovable, the friend's moral goodness. Although we see tokens of \"love\" language in Montagu's correspondence, they represent claims of sincerity and truthfulness toward the other person that must be redeemed over time. The only way of redeeming these claims is through continuous communication and mutuality. Heller argues, finally, that the intersubjective structure of virtue friendship had important social consequences as well—through its very pragmatics of subjective truthfulness and sincerity.
