Sinossi

Ancient Fermented Foods reveals how humanity’s relationship with microbes shaped civilizations, arguing that fermentation—not just fire or tools—fueled societal growth. Blending archaeology, history, and nutrition, the book traces fermented foods like 9,000-year-old Chinese beverages, Korean kimchi, and Roman garum (fish sauce) as cornerstones of survival. These foods preserved harvests, enabled trade, and became cultural touchstones, from Mesopotamian temple-brewed beer to Scandinavian fermented fish.Beyond practicality, fermentation co-evolved with human biology: microbes in foods like sourdough and kefir likely influenced gut health and immunity long before modern probiotics. The book progresses from ancient accidents—like spoiled milk becoming cheese—to sophisticated practices that supported urbanization. Fermentation turned toxic plants into edible staples (think fermented cassava) and transformed grains into digestible nutrients, fueling population booms.Modern science validates these traditions, showing how fermentation unlocks vitamins and combats food insecurity. The narrative bridges eras, pairing Babylonian beer recipes with studies on kimchi’s antioxidants, while highlighting Himalayan gundruk makers and Ethiopian injera bakers as living links to this heritage.Unique for merging granular history with actionable insights, Ancient Fermented Foods avoids nostalgia, framing fermentation as dynamic innovation. It balances academic rigor with vivid storytelling, describing tangy kefir or umami-rich soy sauce to engage both food enthusiasts and history buffs. By connecting temple rituals, sailor diets, and today’s probiotic trends, the book positions microbial alchemy as a timeless driver of human ingenuity—one that still flavors our lives.

    How to Butter Toast: Rhymes in a...

    How to Butter Toast is the antidote to cookbook-overload. In this fun and entertaining recipe book without any recipes, Ottolenghi co-writer Tara Wigley equips you with rhymes and confidence to cook great food instinctively. 
    Melted butter on hot toast and served up on a plate. 
    It seems like nothing, really, could be clearer or more straight. 
    But though, in terms of things required, the number is just two, 
    there is a lot of wiggle room for what there is to do. 
    Cook and author Tara Wigley had been to cookery school, read hundreds of cookbooks and developed recipes for over a decade. Yet she found the fewer the ingredients in a recipe, the more confusion there was about how best to make it. The result is How to Butter Toast, a collection of rhymes that will enlighten and entertain, reassure and ultimately liberate the culinarily confused. 
    The rhymes provide reassuring – and memorable – answers to the culinary conundrums we often face: How long should I boil an egg? What’s the best way to crush garlic? How do I make mayonnaise, a martini or indeed the perfect cup of tea? Tara’s playful take on these food quandaries seems effortless but belies her knowledgeable and carefully researched approach to cooking. 
    Beautifully packaged with bold and witty illustrations throughout, How to Butter Toast is the perfect gift for cooks of all levels. This is the first book in a series Tara is publishing with Pavilion. 
    ‘I can't think of many food authorities who can string together words which are as poignant and profound as they are entertaining and ear-pleasing.’Yotam Ottolenghi 
    ‘A total joy. Part Dr Seuss, part Ogden Nash, part Julia Child, 100% inspired and inspiring’ Samin Nosrat 
    ‘Fun and wise, Tara manages to capture the kinds of the things we cogitate about – sometimes without even knowing! – and provides reassuring answers to those confusing everyday conundrums. A collection for when you are weary of recipes and cooking, but not of life itself!’ Helen Goh 
    ‘Those who have followed her ditties on Insta since Lockdown will be delighted, but the detail, the skill, the Ballymaloe cookery school training, the years as co-writer with Yotam at Ottolenghi will save serious cooks a fortune in cookery school fees. How she manages to explain chemistry in rhyme is little short of genius.’ Gilly Smith 
    ‘Tara brings together her genius for both rhyming and cooking in this witty, illustrated book. Recipes are replaced by rhyming couplets that are entertaining, sometimes silly and always wise. The ditties make the instructions for how to poach an egg, make hummus or even roast a chicken easier to commit to memory.’ Ravinder Bhogal 
    “It feels gently revolutionary … Wigley’s book has the makings of a modern classic. Imagine the literary lovechild that might have resulted had Dr Seuss eloped with Elizabeth David. Smuggled within the sing-song is a trove of know-how … in other words: she’s got chops.” The Wall Street Journal 
    Tara Wigley, in her non-fiction masterpiece, How to Butter Toast, takes us on a quick journey through the comfort of simple cooking methods. Her narratives, akin to essays on tablesetting, are a top choice for those seeking culinary enlightenment. 
    For fans of Sabrina Ghayour (Persiana Everyday), Diana Henry (Roast Figs, Sugar Snow), Russell Norman (POLPO), Signe Johansen (Smorgasbord), and Mob Kitchen (Fresh Mob).

    Malört may be the worst thing you'll ever taste. 
     
     
     
    Known primarily for its intense bitterness, the infamous Chicago liqueur has been compared to "a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax." Yet lurking in the horror and the mockery lies the truth of Malört: we keep going back for more. For nearly a hundred years, we've gone back. 
     
     
     
    Jeppson's Malört could have died a hundred deaths in that time. Its survival wasn't always a given. There were cultural shifts and fortunate timing that helped transform a drink rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition into the American sensation it is today. 
     
     
     
    Malört is a story of love, relationships, and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. 
     
     
     
    Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships—involving secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and the 2018 sale of Jeppson's Malört, which made Pat Gabelick, a seventy-five-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary, into an unlikely millionaire. 
     
     
     
    Malört isn't just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.
