Sinossi

Edible Insects Guide champions insects as a sustainable food source, highlighting their nutritional value, minimal environmental impact, and role in global food security. It tackles the "ick" factor head-on, presenting scientific evidence to dispel biases and offering practical solutions for integrating insects into our diets. The book underscores the environmental benefits of insect farming; for instance, their greenhouse gas emissions are significantly lower compared to traditional livestock.

 
The book systematically progresses from introducing entomophagy and its cultural significance to detailed nutritional profiles and environmental impact assessments. Readers will discover that insects offer comparable, and sometimes superior, protein, vitamins, and minerals when compared to beef or chicken. Recipes and cooking tips are included, demonstrating how to incorporate insects into familiar dishes.

 
Ultimately, the book argues that embracing insects as food is a viable step toward a more sustainable and resilient food system.

Sufi Cuisine

Nevin Halici

A dervish's training begins in the kitchen. The preparation and festive consumption of food is intrinsically connected to the spiritual practice of Sufism. Sufi Cuisine offers a sumptuous assortment of dishes inspired by the teachings of the thirteenth century Sufi mystic Rumi, alongside selections of his sayings and parables. Lavishly illustrated, it brings together more than one hundred easy to follow recipes – from chickpea soup and lamb served with plums and sweet spinach, to desserts including candied rose petals and almond halvah, followed by Turkish coffee.

This delightful cookbook provides a unique window into a rich cultural history. It is the ideal introduction to the transformative art of Sufi cooking – restorative for the stomach, spirit and soul. Combining culinary history with over one hundred sumptuous recipes inspired by the teachings of Sufism, Sufi Cuisine takes the reader on a sensuous journey of earthly and spiritual delights. As Nevin Halici explains in her introduction, the eating and preparation of food is at the heart of Sufi religious practices and beliefs, and the truly inspiring array of dishes - from preserved rose petals and snow helva, to baklava prepared with water in which oak ashes have been soaked overnight - illustrates this beautifully.

Full of charming anecdotes, poetry from the great Sufi mystic, Mevlana, and delightful recipes, Sufi Cuisine is a rare treat.
