Sinossi

In "The Physiology of Taste; Or, Transcendental Gastronomy," Brillat-Savarin engages readers in a rich exploration of gastronomic philosophy, intertwining essays on culinary experiences with profound insights into human nature and culture. The work is characterized by its eloquent prose and meticulous attention to the sensory dimensions of eating, reflecting the Enlightenment's fascination with the senses as a pathway to knowledge. Brillat-Savarin's discourse transcends mere cooking, positioning food as an essential element of societal identity, morality, and enjoyment, thus carving a unique niche in the realm of culinary literature. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755–1826) was a French lawyer and politician whose passion for gastronomy was ignited by a fusion of intellectual curiosity and a distinguished palate. His experiences as a connoisseur and his travels across Europe provided him with extensive insights into various culinary practices. Drawing on the principles of natural philosophy, Brillat-Savarin crafted this seminal work during a period when culinary arts were becoming a matter of scholarly inquiry, culminating in a text that is as informative as it is indulgent. For those who appreciate the finer nuances of food and its cultural significance, this book is an essential read. It invites readers to reflect on the deeper connections between gastronomy and human experience, making it a compelling addition to both culinary collections and philosophical discourse.

    Egg - A Dozen Ovatures

    An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. 
    The egg is a paradox―both alive and not alive―and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. 
    From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich. 
    It has starred in global dishes from the Korean comfort food ttukbaegi gyeranjjim to the less regaled yet iconic soft-boiled egg. Stark writes a biography of French-born chef Jacques Pépin through his egg creations, and weaves in her personal experiences, like attempting to make the perfect omelet or trying her hand at pysanky―the Ukrainian art of egg decoration. She also explores her fraught relationship to the eggs in her body due to a familial link to cancer, and shares her delight in becoming a mother. 
    Filled with colorful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is playful, informative, and guarantees that you’ll never take this delicate ovoid for granted again.

    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.

    Read by the author. 
    Now more than ever, the world is hungry to gather and thirsty for connection. 
    Many of us wish to share a meal, share our faith, and share our lives with others. We want to open our home to friends and neighbors for the sake of meaningful community, but we're overwhelmed with hospitality hang-ups. How do I extend an invitation? What will they think of my house or the food? Our welcome has been influenced by the messages of the world that tell us hospitality is about our ability to be, host, live, and cook a certain way. 
    In Gather & Give, Amy Hannon inspires you to embrace the simple hospitality of the Bible that values connection more than perfection and people more than presentation. Amy shares scriptural principles and practical ideas to make everyday hospitality a natural, joy-filled part of your life. You will feel encouraged and equipped to view your home as:a holy wellspring of welcome to offer hope to a weary world;a strategic springboard for ministering to those around you; andthe perfect platform for influencing others for Christ. 
      
    Find freedom in knowing that the hospitality of the Bible is uncomplicated and effortless, that a welcome can be used by God to share His love and hope with the world, and that there is abounding joy in following the Lord in His hospitality command. Whether preparing shrimp and grits for a crowd or picking up barbecue with new neighbors, you can invite with intention, plate with purpose, and love others well. 
    Reflection questions and recipes are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
