Sinossi

Unbelievable Food Facts unveils the hidden world behind our plates, exploring the surprising origins, obscured ingredients, and fascinating science that shape our culinary experiences. Did you know that the seemingly simple act of tasting involves a complex interplay of senses, genetics, and past experiences? Or that some vibrant red candies derive their color from insects? This book demystifies food production, ingredient sourcing, and the science of taste, revealing the cultural significance and historical journeys of everyday staples.

 
The book progresses through three major sections: uncovering the origins of foods, dissecting hidden ingredients in processed foods, and exploring the science behind taste and food cravings. By blending historical narratives, scientific explanations, and practical insights, Unbelievable Food Facts empowers readers to develop a deeper understanding of their diets.

 
This approach allows readers to make more informed choices, appreciate the global forces shaping our diets, and cultivate a healthier relationship with food, including mindful eating and sustainable food choices.

    ‘A lyrical, amiable and educational celebration of what may be our greatest achievement: the chippy.’ Stuart Maconie 
    Step inside and unwrap this deliciously entertaining look at Britain’s national dish. 
    There is a corner of every town and city in Britain where the air is tangy with vinegar and the scent of frying. Following the irresistible lure, Daniel Gray ponders the magic of chippies and the delights they have sprinkled among us for the last 150 years as he investigates the social – and sociable – history of fish and chips. 
    Travelling to chippies from Dundee to Devon via South Shields, Oldham, Bradford, Bethnal Green, the Rhondda Valley and more – Daniel Gray explores our fish-and-chip nation to show how chippies have helped emancipate women, promote equality for immigrants and shape local and national identity. 
    Whether you were raised eating scraps of Wolverhampton’s orange chips, London’s ‘wallies’ or Hull’s chip spice – even if you think you know whether tea, Vimto or dandelion and burdock is the best accompaniment – this mouth-watering book is as much about who we are as what we eat. 
    In this top non-fiction, Gray takes us on a regional journey through the ethnic corners of Britain, from English chippies to Scottish fry-ups, and Welsh delights. His narratives, as crisp as the chips he describes, serve as essays on cooking, culture, and identity. 
    For fans of Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), Jon Spurling (Death or Glory), Alan Partridge (Alan Partridge), Tim Rich (On Days Like These), and Pen Vogler (Scoff).

    Have you ever purchased coffee based on delectable flavor notes—strawberry jam, milk chocolate, hazelnut—only to find none of it in your cup? It's a common experience among coffee lovers. 
     
     
     
    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.
