Synopsis

"Hot Sauce Evolution" presents a fascinating journey through time, exploring how chili-based condiments transformed from basic food preservatives into a global culinary phenomenon. The book masterfully weaves together three compelling narratives: the scientific development of heat measurement through the Scoville Scale, the historical trade routes that globalized chilies, and the rich cultural significance of regional hot sauce variations across different societies.

 
Beginning with the domestication of wild chilies in 6000 BCE by indigenous Mesoamerican peoples, the narrative tracks how capsaicin-rich fruits became integral to both sustenance and medicine. The story takes a dramatic turn during the Spanish colonization period, when maritime trade networks carried chilies across continents, fundamentally reshaping cooking practices from Asia to Europe.

 
The book reveals how hot sauce development mirrors human migration patterns, offering a unique lens through which to view cultural exchange and culinary evolution. Structured in three comprehensive sections, the work progresses from the scientific foundations of capsaicin to the geographical spread of chilies, before culminating in an analysis of modern hot sauce culture.

 
Drawing from archaeological findings, colonial trade documents, and contemporary market data, the book presents its material in an accessible academic style that appeals to both casual readers and food history enthusiasts. This approach makes complex concepts digestible while maintaining scholarly integrity, offering valuable insights into how a simple condiment has shaped agricultural practices, preservation techniques, and international trade relationships throughout history.

    Uses for Obsession - A Chef's...

    An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world. 
     
    Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history. 
     
    In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese. 
     
    Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him. 
     
    At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.

    Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them. 
     
     
     
    Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature. 
     
     
     
    In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world. 
     
     
     
    Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.
