Summary

Rice Wine Making explores how a simple grain transforms into a beverage deeply embedded in cultural traditions. This book reveals the science behind rice wine fermentation, explaining how microorganisms convert rice starch into alcohol, and examines its integral role in family ceremonies and social gatherings. Rice wine, predating many modern alcoholic drinks, embodies family heritage and social bonds, making it more than just a drink—it's a cultural artifact.

 
The book uniquely blends scientific explanations with cultural narratives, appealing to home brewers, culinary enthusiasts, and those interested in Asian culture. It begins with the history and cultural importance of rice wine, delving into the science of fermentation, including the microorganisms and chemical reactions involved. The latter half explores rice wine's role in life events like ancestor veneration and weddings, providing a holistic understanding by integrating perspectives from anthropology, sociology, and food science.

 
By combining scientific research with ethnographic studies, the book offers practical applications for improving homemade rice wine while respecting traditional recipes. It highlights the social and cultural significance of rice wine, demonstrating how a seemingly simple process contributes to social cohesion and represents cultural identity within communities.

    Fourteen stories of food, love and origin


An anthology of essays and personal recipes, this book invites the question: what does food mean to you? How is that bond with family passed down through food and the act of sitting down to eat? What happens when that is lost? Everybody has a story, a recipe, a memory - good or bad - that involves a meal with family. From displacement, to relocation, fleeing, or arriving at leisure, these essays explore what it means to be able to cook and enjoy the food of your home and your happiness. Ranging from Winberry Pie, Staffordshire oatcakes, to lamb chops with a Zimbabwean twist; Bouillabaisse, Moroccan Keftas and Filhoses, this is a round-the-world recipe book with bite.

'A delicious and moving compendium of memories, longing and recipes you will want to cook' - Jay Rayner

'Cooking always was (and is) an act of love. There is no better way of showing someone how much they mean to you than sitting together at the table sharing a meal you just prepared. Food is what brings us together, the cure for broken hearts and all other minor ailments.' Candida Nibau, Filhóses
