Book Description

April 20, 1999
Here is an irresistible collection of recipes for every meal and every season, from the proprietor of Loaves and Fishes, the distinguished catering and prepared-food establishment in Sagaponak, Long Island, and The Bridgehampton Inn.

At The Bridgehampton Inn, Anna Pump pampers all of her guests as if each were a personal friend, which is, no doubt, why they return year after year. At Loaves and Fishes, each dish seems exactly as though it had been created in a regular home kitchen.

Now, with Country Weekend Entertaining, she shares her secrets so that home cooks, too, can soothe and pamper guests with simple, elegant, and delicious meals, from breakfast through dinner, all year long. In fact, instead of waiting for company, you can treat yourself and your family like guests and enjoy dishes such as Anna's Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese, Fresh Chives, and Popovers; her Grilled Veal Chops with Peach and Coriander Relish; and her Crumb-Topped Coffee Cake. Impressive enough for any formal event, every dish in this treasure trove of original recipes is nevertheless simple enough to prepare at whim, without waiting for a special occasion.

Arranged by season and illustrated with beautifully evocative color photographs, the more than 175 recipes in this book are certain to become the favorites of discerning home cooks everywhere.


Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Anna Pump grew up on a farm in Germany, near the Danish border, surrounded by a bounty of fresh vegetables, fruits, home-baked bread, and hand-churned butter. After moving to the U.S. in the 1980s, Pump established Loaves and Fishes, a catering and take-out shop in the seaside yet rural part of Long Island, New York, known as The Hamptons. She then opened a bed-and-breakfast called The Bridgehampton Inn in 1994.

Pump's cooking relies on excellent fresh ingredients in season, so her 175 recipes are grouped as Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Grilled Chicken Salad, succulent from breasts marinated with soy, sesame oil, and white wine; Potato and Corn Salad with unexpected fresh herbs; and Spinach Salad with Sliced Peaches are typical Spring/Summer dishes Pump offers. Reflecting Scandinavian influences in her cooking, dessert might bring the luxury of fresh currants and raspberries transformed into Red Grits with Cream. (Once made with barley meal, hence its name, corn or potato starch is now used to thicken this ruby jewel of a dish.)

Fridays, year round, Pump bakes a huge ham glazed with marmalade, apple cider, and mustard. Guests enjoy slices of it with their eggs at breakfast and in sandwiches later in the day. You may prefer it for dinner, accompanied by Pump's cauliflower, mashed and roasted with garlic and olive oil. Complete the meal with a Macadamia Nut Tart, cranberries studding its pecan pie-rich filling. Sixteen color photos and short poems and quotes praising the good life punctuate this book with charming thoughts. --Dana Jacobi

Review

Advance Praise for Country Weekend Entertaining:

"Every one of Anna's recipes is a showstopper! I couldn't wait to see this book all summer long while I was feasting on the food from Loaves and Fishes. You'll love it as much as I do."
--Sheila Lukins, coauthor, The Silver Palate cookbooks; food editor, Parade magazine; author, All Around the World Cookbook and USA Cookbook

"We continue to be devout customers of the wonderful Loaves and Fishes, and now we have an added bonus-- book three of Anna's mouth-watering recipes."
--Julie Andrews

"We always look forward to the arrival of spring because it means, after a long winter, that Loaves and Fishes will soon reopen. What a treat it is, in the meantime, to have our most favorite, delicious recipes in this wonderful book."
--Jo Carole and Ronald S. Lauder

"I love going to Long Island because it means I can fill up my car with fabulous food from Loaves and Fishes. But my car is never big enough to hold everything I want, so it's great to have this book of Anna Pump's mouthwatering recipes to make at home."
--Lauren Bacall

5.0 out of 5 stars A cookbook for special occasions............., September 6, 2010
This review is from: Country Weekend Entertaining: Seasonal recipes from loaves and fishes and the Bridgehampton Inn (Hardcover)
This is certainly a cookbook for special occasions, not just holidays, but nice family dinners, small cozy groups, Hellos & Goodbyes. The menus take a little more time, but oh my - are they ever worth it.

The book is organized into Spring and Summer (Breakfasts, Salads, Soups, etc.) followed by Fall and Winter(8 sections of recipes-Main Courses, Side Dishes, Desserts etc.). Wine pairings are suggested for every Entree' and there are lovely quotes alongside many of her recipes. Chicken pistachio pate', Salmon baked in ginger sauce, Beetroot salad with fresh rosemary, Pear and walnut muffins, Blueberry rhubarb tart are all wonderful. I will soon be on the lookout for Quince, her recipe for Quince chutney is to die for.

Not all of her recipes are over the top, Turkey meatloaf is everyday fare and easily made in the food processor. Baked ham with mustard and orange glaze is a great addition to any buffet or Sunday brunch.

Anna shares a great deal of her early life and describes the daily running of the Bridgehampton Inn. You might want to check out the Inn on the internet - it is beautiful and very gracious. Anna and her husband purchased an older residence in Bridgehampton that had once been an Inn and began slowly and lovingly to transform it into a welcoming B & B.

The biggest drawback to this book is the price. It almost has a cult following and while it is not as well know as Anna's Loaves and Fishes book, is "special" in many ways.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Cooking, September 22, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Country Weekend Entertaining: Seasonal recipes from loaves and fishes and the Bridgehampton Inn (Hardcover)
I've had this book for 3 years now, and finally felt the urge to write a review because of the lack of reviews on this site. It is, put quity simply, a good cooking cookbook. Anna is a friendly writer, who doesn't name drop like other cookbok authors who live in our area do. The recipes are not way "out there" and the home cook can make them, just fine. I'm awaiting Anna's next cookbook, hoping there will be one.
