Beschreibung

In "Chocolate: or, An Indian Drinke," Antonio Colmenero de Ledesma presents a captivating exploration of cacao, intertwining the botanical, cultural, and culinary dimensions of chocolate. Written in the 17th century, this early treatise reflects the burgeoning interest in exotic substances following the Age of Exploration. Colmenero's literary style combines scientific observation with vivid descriptive language, inviting readers to understand the significance of chocolate not merely as a drink, but as an emblem of luxury and social status in European society. The book situates itself within the broader context of the Spanish Baroque period, characterized by an interplay between emerging scientific inquiry and cultural indulgence. Colmenero, a Spanish physician and explorer, was deeply influenced by his experiences in the New World, where he encountered cacao in its native environment. His background in medicine informs his detailed descriptions of the drink's purported health benefits, reflecting the 17th-century fascination with the medicinal uses of tropical botanicals. As a bridge between continents, Colmenero's work not only shares knowledge but also highlights the complex global interactions of his time. "Chocolate: or, An Indian Drinke" is a must-read for anyone interested in the origins of one of the world's most beloved indulgences. It provides invaluable insights into the interplay of culture, economy, and the culinary arts, making it an essential addition to the libraries of historians, culinary enthusiasts, and scholars alike.

    Jewish cuisine is a rich tapestry woven from centuries of history, migration, and adaptation. Rooted in biblical traditions and shaped by the diverse cultures of the Jewish diaspora, it reflects not only religious laws but also the unique influences of the lands where Jewish communities have settled. From the ancient meals mentioned in the Torah to the diverse dishes found in Jewish homes today, the evolution of Jewish food is a story of resilience, preservation, and adaptation. 
    The origins of Jewish cuisine can be traced back to the foods consumed in biblical times. The Torah and Talmud contain numerous references to ingredients and meals that were staples of early Jewish life. Grains, olives, figs, dates, and lentils were essential components of the diet, often accompanied by goat’s milk, honey, and fish. Meat was consumed in accordance with strict kosher laws, which dictated which animals could be eaten and how they should be slaughtered and prepared. These dietary guidelines, known as kashrut, continue to define Jewish cooking and eating practices today, ensuring that food remains a fundamental part of religious and cultural identity. 
    As Jewish communities spread across the world, their cuisine was influenced by local flavors and cooking techniques. The dispersal of Jewish populations following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE led to the formation of distinct culinary traditions. Ashkenazi Jews, who settled in Central and Eastern Europe, incorporated ingredients such as potatoes, cabbage, and beets, which were common in the region. Meanwhile, Sephardic Jews, who lived in Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, embraced the bold spices, fresh herbs, and rich stews characteristic of Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines.

    A revolutionary new keto diet program from Dr. Michael Mosley, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The FastDiet. Recent studies have shown that a keto diet not only produces significant—and rapid—weight loss, but also has many other benefits for long-term health. But it must be done the right way. In 21-Day Keto Magic, Dr. Mosley presents the latest science on the ketogenic diet—a diet high in fat and protein and very low in carbs—explaining how it works and why it is so good for you. The aim of a keto regime is to kickstart a process called ketosis, whereby your body goes from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel. Flipping this metabolic switch has the added advantage of making you feel less hungry, which makes the diet highly motivating and relatively easy to sustain. 21-Day Keto Magic offers a detailed, step-by-step program, along with easy tips and clear advice on which foods support ketosis and which ones stop it, how to tell if you are producing ketones, and how to ensure that you're following the diet safely. There are also 50 delicious recipes from Michael's wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, as well as shopping lists, weekly meal planners, and all the other tools you need to ditch stubborn fat and transform your health for life.
