Summary

Sally Grainger has gathered, in one convenient volume, her modern interpretations of 64 of the recipes in the original text. This is not 'recipes inspired by the old Romans' but rather a serious effort to convert the extremely gnomic instructions in the Latin into something that can be reproduced in the modern kitchen which actually gives some idea of what the Romans might have eaten. Sally Grainger, therefore, has taken great pains to suggest means of replicating the particular Roman taste for fermented fish sauce. It may sound unpleasant, but actually is not too far removed from the fish sauces of the Far East and any reproduction of Roman cookery must depend on getting this particular aspect right.

    The Course of History - Ten...

    Many decisions which have had enormous historical consequences have been made over the dinner table, and have been accompanied (and perhaps in influenced) by copious amounts of food and wine. In The Course of History Struan Stevenson brings to life ten such moments, exploring the personalities, the issues and of course the food which helped shape the course of history.
    
    From the claret consumed on the eve of the Battle of Culloden, through the dinners which decided the fates of George Washington, Archduke Ferdinand and Adolf Hitler, to the diplomatic feasts that decided future relations with Russia, China and the Middle East, each chapter covers every detail, character, decision and morsel which decided the course of history.

    Avocados, Nuts, Steaks, and Gold Nuggets of Information (Not Edible) to Get Lean Fast 
      
    What if there was truly a get-lean-quick formula? 
      
    At this time, you are in luck, because you just encountered one of the best publications about the ketogenic diet which will explain every little thing you need to learn about it. Sure, it's not the only publication about the diet, but I saw to it that there are some details in here you will not find in the google search engine that easily. This particular book contains unique parts of a medical formula I shouldn't have hidden from you for such a long time. But either way, here it is, and today you get the opportunity to study or listen to it. This book has sub-topics like: 
      
    - The reason why individuals have ended up being so much more overweight and what to do about it. 
      
    - Different components of the ketogenic diet that can influence your intellect and general health and wellness. 
      
    - Astonishing diet and lifestyle details you should really involve in your ketogenic process. 
      
    - Reasonable descriptions that illustrate exactly how the body acts in response to carbohydrates and wholesome fats. 
      
    - The messed-up way the world has pushed an overload of carbohydrates on our systems. 
      
    - As well as a lot more. 
      
    The moment you are in ketosis, most of these points will probably become even clearer, as your understanding will be substantiated by the application of it. Still, the initial step is to understand it, and for that reason, I urge you to begin looking at or listening to this publication. 
      
    Do yourself a favor already and buy it!

    In a world brimming with culinary delights and gastronomic wonders, few things rival the comforting embrace of a creamy milkshake, the tantalizing allure of a cheese-laden pizza, or the soothing warmth of a steaming cup of cocoa. Milk, with its myriad forms and versatile applications, has been a culinary cornerstone for centuries, enriching our diets and comforting our palates. 
    Yet, for an increasing number of individuals, this seemingly innocuous elixir of nourishment has become a source of discomfort, anxiety, and even danger. The rise of milk allergy and lactose intolerance has fundamentally altered the relationship between people and the dairy products they once adored.

In these pages, we aim to empower you with knowledge, unravel the mysteries behind these conditions, and provide guidance for those seeking to navigate a world that can be fraught with dietary obstacles. 
    For millions around the globe, milk allergy and lactose intolerance aren't just dietary restrictions; they're life-altering conditions that demand a fundamental shift in how one approaches food, social gatherings, and daily life. 
    The journey through diagnosis, management, and coping can be both bewildering and isolating. Our goal is to be your trusted companion on this journey, offering insights, strategies, and stories that resonate with your experiences. 
    By the time you turn the final page of this book, we hope to have provided you with a newfound understanding, a sense of empowerment, and a community of support.
