Sinossi

"Global Cuisines" presents an enlightening exploration of worldwide culinary traditions, examining how food practices have shaped human societies throughout history. This comprehensive work delves into three crucial aspects of global food culture: time-tested cooking methods, ingredient migration across continents, and the cultural significance of specific dishes within different societies.

 
The book uniquely combines anthropological research with practical culinary knowledge, making complex food history accessible to both casual readers and serious food enthusiasts. The text progresses systematically through various regions, revealing fascinating insights such as the evolution of fermentation techniques in East Asia and the profound impact of the Columbian Exchange on worldwide cooking practices.

 
Through detailed case studies, readers discover how ingredients like tomatoes and chilies revolutionized traditional cuisines across continents, and how ancient cooking methods like earth oven cooking in Polynesia continue to influence modern gastronomy. The book stands out for its interdisciplinary approach, connecting culinary practices to chemistry, agriculture, and sociology while maintaining practical relevance for contemporary cooking.

 
Rather than simply presenting recipes, it equips readers with a deeper understanding of cooking principles and cultural contexts, allowing them to appreciate the complex relationships between food, society, and tradition. This approach makes it particularly valuable for culinary students, food historians, and home cooks seeking to understand the broader context of global cooking techniques and food traditions.

    At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
     
     
     
    In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
     
     
     
    The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.

    50 recipes for the deliciously fun and colourful Taiwanese tea drink that everyone's talking about!
    
    Bubble tea, also known as boba milk tea, is a Taiwanese drink that has been become hugely popular around the globe. The first bubble tea shop opened in Taichung, Taiwan, in 1988 and sold milk teas with chewy boba. Since then, bubble tea fever has spread all over Asia, Australia and beyond. In 2009 bubble tea shops began opening in North America and Europe and in the past few years the trend is growing at an exponential rate. Bubble tea is a drink made from tea and milk, and includes other ingredients such as tapioca balls, popping boba, fruit jelly or 'nata de coco' (coconut gel). It is often also finished with a whipped 'crown' topping made from cream cheese. The name bubble tea comes from the balls or boba that are added to the drink and float in the transparent cup when the drink is shaken. These are sucked up from the drinks through special oversized bubble tea straws.There are two main types of bubble tea base: the traditional black, green and oolong tea-based ones and fruit-flavoured drinks such as mango and strawberry, but you can make bubble tea from almost anything you fancy and it can also form the base of a whole range of virgin and alcoholic bubble tea cocktails too! If you haven't tried a bubble tea yet where have you been?
