Sinopsis

"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.

    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.

    Catching Hell - The Insider...

    In Catching Hell, longtime seafood mogul Allen Ricca and author Joe Muto take readers behind the scenes of the high-end restaurant world and the international market for seafood, and how that industry has been impacted perhaps like no other due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
     
    This book exposes the fact that the American diner is being lied to on a regular basis. The culprit varies – sometimes it’s a chef or restaurant owner trying to cut corners to save money; other times it’s an unscrupulous supplier looking to pass off poor product to an unwitting receiver. And the cost of that scam eventually gets passed on to the consumer, whether it be in the form of higher prices at restaurants and markets, lower quality (or even counterfeit) product getting delivered onto your plate, or – God forbid – food poisoning. Furthermore, Ricca argues, the pandemic has only increased corruption in this industry.
     
    This book serves as both an exposé and a call to arms, empowering consumers with the knowledge to make more informed choices when dining out. 
     
    Some of the things this explosive book reveals:
     
    -The one fish you should never order, one that’s always a rip-off. (And the one fish that’s always a delicious, virtually-unknown bargain.)
     
    -Why restaurants that advertise “fresh” fish are almost always lying.
     
    -How to get your favorite restaurant to treat you like royalty – without dropping thousands of dollars.
     
    -How the covid-19 pandemic has impacted our food supply chain and what it has meant for the everyday worker.
