...snowy day, a woman named Vianne Rocher (Binoche) and her daughter Anouk (Victoire Thivisol) arrive in the staid if picturesque French village of Lansquenet. Their intent is to open a chocolate shop, the sensual products of which are bound to remind the locals that life has more to offer than churchgoing and spousal abuse. Their goodies place them in conflict with the rectitudinous mayor (Alfred Molina) but warm the chilled souls of various inhabitants (Judi Dench, Lena Olin, John Wood). Vianne eventually makes common romantic cause with a riverboat wanderer (Depp), who also scandalizes the town with his unsettled...

Now that America is beyond the "spaghetti-and-meatballs stage" of Italian cuisine, the award-winning Chicago chef is determined to move north-of-the-border cooks beyond the taco. Thanks to Bayless's 26-part PBS series, Mexico: One Plate at a Time, and this luscious new cookbook, he just may succeed...
...book to be taxidermic in form as well. Inspired by the burst stuffing of a deer on display in the Peabody Museum and some prints Rauschenberg did on deconstructed animal feed bags, Hulsey envisions a thinnish book whose unfolding mix of delicate vellums and sturdy opaque pages in sensual pinks and browns will mimic the layers of a dissected animal.
