Sinopse

"Unique Thai Sweets" offers an unprecedented journey into Thailand's hidden dessert traditions, exploring confections that have remained largely unknown outside local villages and family kitchens. This comprehensive guide goes beyond common Thai desserts to uncover rare and regionally specific treats, combining detailed culinary instruction with rich cultural context.

 
Through extensive field research and collaboration with local dessert makers, the book preserves vanishing culinary traditions while making them accessible to modern cooks. The book's three-section structure progressively builds readers' understanding, beginning with an exploration of fundamental ingredients like indigenous palm sugars and specific rice varieties. It then delves into centuries-old preparation techniques, such as the intricate art of hand-pounding sticky rice and extracting flower essences.

 
The final section presents over 50 detailed recipes, including unique creations like khanom chan and distinctive sweets from Thailand's Muslim south, each accompanied by cultural context and regional variations. What sets this work apart is its seamless integration of practical cooking instruction with cultural anthropology and food science. While maintaining authenticity, the book adapts traditional methods for modern kitchens, making these rare desserts achievable for both culinary professionals and dedicated home cooks.

 
The research spans three years of fieldwork across Thailand, documenting techniques and recipes that have never before been formally recorded, ensuring the preservation of these valuable culinary traditions for future generations.

The Intellectual Fraud of...

Thomas Lepeltier

"To be a vegetarian when you can eat meat is to deny the animal in you."
"To slaughter an animal, you have to love animals"!
"When living beings start to eat stones, the problem [of meat] will no longer be an issue."
These are some quotes from philosophers and intellectuals that defy logic and encourage cruelty. Instead of recognizing that we should not cause suffering and kill sentient beings just for our pleasure, these intellectuals justify the consumption of animal products. They support a society that slaughters millions of animals daily because it does not want to change its eating habits.
This book enumerates and denounces all the arguments developed by carnivores so that this great massacre can stop and a constructive debate on the place of animals in society can finally begin.
Through books, articles and television appearances, experts and journalists criticize, denounce and mock the defenders of animals. This is not without consequences. Nowadays, few people remain insensitive to the fate of livestock. When a film is shot inside a slaughterhouse and broadcast in the media, most people are shocked. Then, confronted with the arguments of vegans and vegetarians, they look for answers. What to think? What to do? What to eat? And then these intellectuals come along and tell them that vegans and vegetarians are wrong. Each time, the basic ethical principle that we should not cause suffering and kill a sentient being just for our own pleasure is forgotten or misinterpreted. Instead, these intellectuals advance arguments that defy logic, have no rational basis, and encourage cruelty. But in so doing, they reinforce a society that unnecessarily kills a staggering number of animals because it does not want to change its eating habits. This book takes the position of denouncing them loud and clear; not for the pleasure of criticizing, but in the hope that this clarification will contribute to stopping the great massacre of livestock and serve to launch a constructive debate on their place in society.
