...gatefold reproduction of the glowing Davis mural. Under the panels for each season are a few of Rosenzweig's most popular dishes for that time of year. Among her best: corn cakes with creme fraiche and caviars, chimney-smoked lobster, roast quail with savoy cabbage and kasha, wild mushroom tarts and such knockout desserts as macadamia nut tarts, lemon curd mousse and chocolate bread pudding. It would be a pity to cook by this book, thereby soiling pages with dabs of butter and egg yolk. Better photocopy recipes and keep the book on the coffee table, where it belongs...
Near-amateur enthusiasts can provide valuable books on aspects of food dearest to their hearts and palates. Two cases in point: Linda Merinoff's The Glorious Noodle -- A Culinary Tour Around the World (Poseidon; $16.95) and Margaret Leibenstein's The Edible Mushroom -- A Gourmet Cook's Guide (Fawcett Columbine; $14.95). Merinoff, a journalist and caterer, is obviously beguiled by all things pasta -- Italian, Greek, Hungarian, Israeli, African, Alsatian or Asian.

...Jugendstil-designed hotel in Merano. He stirs the pasta pots for Operator Tony May, who masterminds Palio's spacious and vaguely Japanese- looking dining rooms. So far Hellrigl's esoteric offerings have been uneven. They may be as institutionally dull as his lackluster codfish with potatoes or the watery mushroom terrine or as wonderfully executed as the ricotta dumplings with truffle butter or a risotto with sweet red peppers. "It is a challenge to give Americans a taste of my style," Hellrigl says. "Some definitely do not like the food," admits May, "but they may not understand...
...From a file drawer he fetched evidence from criminal cases his office has dealt with. The point was, it seemed, simple citations can lead to bigger things. One example: a bicycle obscured an auto license plate. The car was stopped, and it yielded eleven bags of a "brown mushroom substance I can't pronounce (psilocybin), although I know it's a dangerous drug," some marijuana and pills. Large cases or little, the marshal said, you have to be on your toes. Mothers used to come down to the saloons and leave their children outside on the benches until all hours...
