  Knead to Know - A History of Baking

  In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.
  
  Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.
  
  When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).
  
  The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.

  Egg - A Dozen Ovatures

  An unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more. 
  The egg is a paradox―both alive and not alive―and a symbol as old as culture itself. In this wide-ranging and delightful journey through its natural and cultural history, Lizzie Stark explores the egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance through a dozen dazzling specimens. 
  From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich. 
  It has starred in global dishes from the Korean comfort food ttukbaegi gyeranjjim to the less regaled yet iconic soft-boiled egg. Stark writes a biography of French-born chef Jacques Pépin through his egg creations, and weaves in her personal experiences, like attempting to make the perfect omelet or trying her hand at pysanky―the Ukrainian art of egg decoration. She also explores her fraught relationship to the eggs in her body due to a familial link to cancer, and shares her delight in becoming a mother. 
  Filled with colorful characters and fascinating morsels, Egg is playful, informative, and guarantees that you’ll never take this delicate ovoid for granted again.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  Artificial food ingredients are substances added to food during processing to enhance its flavor, appearance, texture, or shelf life. These ingredients, often synthesized in laboratories, are designed to mimic or replace natural components found in food. Over the years, the use of artificial ingredients has become ubiquitous in the food industry, from sweeteners and colorings to preservatives and flavor enhancers. The advent of these additives can be traced back to the early 20th century when the demand for processed and mass-produced food grew, and there was a need to improve food preservation and make products more appealing to consumers. 
  Artificial ingredients serve a variety of functions. Preservatives, for example, help extend the shelf life of food, reducing waste and allowing for the distribution of perishable items over long distances. Flavor enhancers, like monosodium glutamate (MSG), make food taste better and more consistent across large batches. Artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, provide a sugar-like taste without the added calories, making them popular in diet foods and drinks. Colorants, like Red 40 or Yellow 5, make food more visually appealing, often by mimicking the vibrant hues of natural ingredients. 
  While these additives are generally considered safe by food safety agencies such as the FDA, there is ongoing debate about their long-term effects on health. Over the past few decades, concerns have been raised about potential links between artificial ingredients and various health issues, including allergies, hyperactivity in children, and chronic conditions such as obesity and cancer. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence proving harmful effects in the general population, some studies suggest that certain individuals, particularly those with sensitivities, may experience adverse reactions to specific additives.
