...crudely, a lute looks some-thing like a small, pregnant guitar. It is has a body like a pear split in half made of between nine and 50 hardwood ribs. Its short, broad neck is fretted like a guitar but ends in a long and sharply angled pegbox. It is difficult to say exactly how many strings a lute has. The strings are divided into "courses," which are either a pair of strings played together or a single string, and different kinds of lutes from different periods had different numbers of courses. This is one of the most interesting things...
...Enough to do Cinderella proud. For a bit more variety, the Harvest Ginger Bread is dense, not overly sweet and peppered with chunks of caramelized ginger. It is normally served with rice pudding ice cream (although quite tasty topped with the aforementioned pumpkin ice cream) and caramelized pear cranberry compote. A traditional yet exceptional thin-crust Warm Apple Tart ($8) is served warm enough to melt the homemade ice cream alongside into a slowly expanding pool of vanilla sauce.

But the dish was highly sophisticated, made from velvety, warm, bittersweet chocolate swirled with a touch of cream and punctuated by croutons of cinnamon pound cake. The second dessert, slices of wine-soaked strudel wrapped in phyllo pastry and served with poached pear, saves the tables from gluttonous chocolate saturation and coffee inevitably rounds out the meal...
...Scribner's most recent deal is with Jackie Onassis' chef of 25 years, Marta Sgubin, whose book will also be coming out next year. One celeb with a full menu is Sarah Ferguson, whose cookbook will reach stores in January. But don't bother salivating over such dishes as Pear-Port Quickbread, Roast Chicken and Chutney Tea Sandwiches and the Little Princess Birthday Cake. The trim Weight Watchers spokeswoman has renounced her claim to the title Duchess of Pork. The meals are all resolutely...
