Beschreibung

Bread Baking Roots explores the fascinating culinary history of flatbread, revealing its pivotal role in ancient civilizations and its enduring importance in family traditions. From the Neolithic Revolution, which enabled grain cultivation, to its central place in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Levantine societies, flatbread wasn't just food. It was a cultural touchstone, deeply embedded in rituals and daily life. The book uniquely positions flatbread as a tangible link connecting modern families to their ancestral past, demonstrating how it evolved from basic sustenance to a powerful symbol of heritage and love.

The book delves into archaeological findings, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies to uncover flatbread's story. Did you know that analyzing ancient grains and art provides insights into early baking techniques? Or that comparative studies of flatbread recipes reveal cross-cultural connections?

Organized into three parts, the book begins by introducing flatbread as a cultural artifact, then examines specific ancient cultures and their baking traditions, and concludes by showcasing flatbread's continuing role in families worldwide through case studies and personal narratives. Bread Baking Roots adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending scholarly research with engaging storytelling. By connecting archaeology, anthropology, and sociology, the book illuminates how food shapes identity and fosters community. It demonstrates how a simple food connects us to ancient cultures and our own family's cultural heritage.

Red Sauce Brown Sauce: A British...

Felicity Cloake

The charming and joyful follow-up book from ‘the nation’s taster in chief,’ Felicity Cloake.
If there’s one thing that truly unites Britain, from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, St Ives to St Pancras, it’s an obsession with breakfast.
We all have an opinion on the merits of brown sauce versus ketchup on our morning bacon sarnie. In this eagerly awaited follow-up to One More Croissant for the Road, the nation’s favourite taster-in-chief Felicity Cloake sets off on a cycle trip of condimental proportions to investigate and celebrate the legendary Great British Breakfast. Travelling the length and breadth of the UK to establish once and for all what makes a perfect fry-up, she rates them on criteria from the crispness of the bacon to how long they keep her pedalling. But a woman cannot live by All Day Breakfast alone, so as well as recipes for the Savoy's Omelette Arnold Bennett and proper Scottish porridge, she lavishes her attention on the regional specialities she encounters along the way, from a desi breakfast in Birmingham to a Greggs Geordie stottie cake. This is a freewheeling gastronomical tour like no other.
Eaten with as much relish in The Wolseley on Piccadilly as in Glasgow’s University Cafe, Britain loves nothing more than a good breakfast. The only question is: what do you have with yours?
In RED SAUCE BROWN SAUCE, Felicity Cloake, the nation's favourite taster-in-chief, combines her love for cycling and cooking to present a unique travelogue. She explores the best of British breakfasts, from the Welsh desi breakfast to the Scottish stottie cake, making it a top pick for food and travel enthusiasts.
For fans of Stanley Tucci (What I Ate in One Year), Peter Mayle (My Twenty-Five Years in Provence), Nigella Lawson (Cook, Eat, Repeat), Max Halley (Max's Sandwich Book), and Janine Marsh (My Four Seasons in France).
