Then wash it all down with Lady Strickland’s Strong Mead or some Right Red Dutch Currant Wine. These are just some of the delightful Georgian recipes found in the receipt books of Sabine Winn, the eighteenth-century Swiss-born wife of Sir Rowland Winn, 5th Baronet Nostell of the impressive Palladian mansion, Nostell Priory in Yorkshire. Using centuries-old cookbooks, newspaper clippings, old family recipes and contributions from noble friends, Lady Winn created a wonderfully eclectic collection of mouthwatering dishes that are presented in this new volume for modern readers to enjoy. Mistrustful of English doctors, Sabine’s receipt books also contain scores of remedies for a whole series of complaints, such as: The Best Thing in the World for Languishing Spirits or Fatigue after a Journey; Mrs Aylott’s Excellent Remedy for Colic; Aunt Barrington’s Cure for Pleurisy; An Approved Medicine to Drive the Scurvy or any other Ill Humour out of a Man’s Body; and A Diet Drink to Cure all Manner of Hurts and Wounds.“I found the herbal use in the recipes intriguing, creative, and sometimes delightfully odd . . . provides an interesting slice of 18th century Georgian life in England.” —American Herb Association QuarterlyZum Buch

It is full of gorgeous spreads, amazing tofu recipes, delicious vegan cookies and salad ideas.” —Mette the Homeopath “The cookies are all of that slightly healthy, hippy ilk, but in a good way. These cookies are perhaps too good for a meditation retreat: I would probably spend more time obsessing which cookies they were putting in my bag lunch, than meditating into a Zen state of detachment . . . but hey, maybe that’s just me.” —The Back Yard Lemon TreeZum Buch

"Which seeds will you be eating first? There are so many to choose from! Seeds have been and continue to be some of the most nutrient-dense foods available. They serve a variety of purposes, improve your health, and make a tasty addition to any meal. Seeds are high in fiber, low in sugar, contain essential fatty acids, protein, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. All of these work together to boost your cardiovascular health, manage blood sugar levels, improve cellular health, and aid digestion. Some of these seeds contain high amounts of specific nutrients that serve other purposes such as increasing fertility or preventing cancers. With so many benefits in a spoonful of seeds, adding them to your diet shouldn’t be a question at all. As with any food, seeds can cause adverse reactions. Use the information in this book to understand what could happen, and always talk to a medical professional if you are uncertain about whether adding seeds to your diet is right for you. Introducing any new food to your body takes time, so don’t rush into eating a bunch of seeds on day one. This will only cause digestive discomfort and might put you off using seeds in the future. It is much better to introduce one type of seed at a time, and only consume a small amount (about a teaspoon) for several days before you build up to larger daily amounts. If you do want to get the benefit from multiple seeds, then purchase a mixed bag, and add them to your diet."Zum Buch

A richly evocative memoir from the man whom the New York Times dubbed the “dean of American cookery,” recalling the flavors of his past In this delightful culinary journey, James Beard takes us back to the earliest days of his childhood when he started developing his precocious palate and lifelong “taste memories”—the ability to savor and remember the tastes and sensations of food. His enthusiasm for flavors, no matter how bold, would define Beard for the rest of his life. From devouring a raw onion as an infant to scouring the globe in search of local flavors as an adult, Delights and Prejudices is full of witty and illuminating stories that open a door into the world of one of America’s first and perhaps greatest epicures. Packed with more than one hundred fifty recipes, including corn chili soufflé, fried oysters, and peach preserves, this very personal account of his life is as close to an autobiography as Beard ever penned. For those who love to cook or simply love to eat, there remains no better teacher than James Beard.Zum Buch
