Beschreibung

Fork Pierces Food unveils the surprisingly rich history of the fork, tracing its journey from a rare curiosity to an indispensable dining tool. This exploration illuminates how a simple utensil catalyzed significant shifts in social behavior, culinary practices, and Western culture itself. The book highlights fascinating facts, such as the initial resistance to the fork due to concerns about its effeminate nature and its eventual association with hygiene and refined table manners. The book delves into the fork's symbolic role as a status symbol, its influence on table manners, and its impact on food preparation. By examining historical documents, artwork, and etiquette manuals, it reveals how dining customs evolved alongside the fork's adoption. The book emphasizes the profound implications of technological change beyond mere functionality, highlighting its influence on values associated with dining. Beginning with the fork's medieval origins and its slow acceptance across Europe, the chapters progress to examine its impact on formal dining etiquette and food presentation. This approach offers readers a unique lens through which to understand broader historical and social transformations, revealing how a seemingly minor innovation reshaped Western dining traditions.

    In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created. 
     
     
    Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells us so much about our culture and society, from the role of bread in the birth of human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, or the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie. Food history encompasses it all. 
     
     
    When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, knowledge is lost and skills are forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are often worth trying out (and mentions a few that should perhaps be left in the past).

    These days, high-quality coffee can taste all kinds of ways, thanks to roasting techniques that help draw out the qualities of the bean. In addition to that characteristic coffee taste, you really can find hints of fruit, chocolate, and nuts in your cup—all it takes is a little knowledge, a little practice, and the ability to slow down and savor. 
     
     
     
    In How to Taste Coffee, bestselling author Jessica Easto explains why flavor notes are not always as straightforward with coffee as they are with other beverages, such as wine, beer, and spirits. You'll learn how our senses perceive coffee, what creates and affects coffee flavor, and how to practice your sensory skills, using the same tools and resources as coffee professionals. 
     
     
     
    With nineteen exercises designed to help you identify and talk about what you're tasting, you'll come away with a more developed palate, an improved ability to choose coffee you're going to love, and a better understanding of the astounding complexity contained within these tiny beans.
