  Create delicious slow-cooked flavours with affordable ingredients using minimal energy with over 50 pressure cooker recipes.
  
  Pressure cookers enable the preparation of delicious meals cheaply, quickly and efficiently because the food is cooked in liquid at temperatures far higher than in a conventional saucepan, shortening cooking time by up to 70 per cent. After years in the culinary doldrums, the popularity of brands such as Instant Pot, has propelled all types of pressure-cooking gadgets back into favour and fashion. John Lewis says that purchases of pressure cookers have risen by 110 per cent, and their popularity is only set to continue with the current rises in energy prices and food costs.
  
  The pressure-cooking method is brilliant at sealing in flavour, so cheaper ingredients can be used to great effect and since the cooking time is shorter you save on energy too, making it one of the most eco-friendly cooking methods available. Time savings are impressive – braising beef takes just 30 minutes, a chicken casserole can be ready in 15 minutes. Pulses and grains cook in a fraction of the time, so it's great news for veggies too. A John Lewis spokesman said: 'The cooking method often used by our parents and grandparents to tenderise cheaper cuts of meat is once again popular as thrifty, time-poor cooks rediscover the time and fuel-saving benefits of these marvellous machines' (Daily Mail October 2022).
  
  Choose from over 50 recipes covering all tastes and occasions including Soups & Stocks, hearty Meat dishes, lighter Poultry & Seafood dishes, Vegetarian Dishes and Desserts.

  Fruit Diet - The Benefits of...

  A fruit diet, also known as a fruitarian diet, primarily consists of consuming raw fruits and may also include nuts, seeds, and some vegetables. This diet emphasizes the consumption of raw fruits, varying in strictness but generally focusing on fruits while excluding or limiting other food groups such as grains, meat, and dairy. Some variations of the diet allow for the consumption of nuts, seeds, and certain vegetables. 
    
  One of the main benefits of a fruit diet is the high nutrient intake. Fruits are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. Additionally, fruits are generally low in calories and high in fiber, which can aid in weight management. The high water content in many fruits contributes to better hydration, and the fiber promotes healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. 
    
  However, there are potential risks associated with a fruit diet. Relying solely on fruits can lead to deficiencies in protein, fats, vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and other essential nutrients. The high sugar content in fruits, though natural, can be problematic for individuals with blood sugar management issues. The acids and sugars in fruits can also contribute to dental erosion and cavities. A restrictive diet may lead to boredom and difficulty in maintaining the diet long-term.

  A Nation Fermented - Beer...

  How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard—the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law—become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination? 
   
   
   
  While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes. 
   
   
   
  Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.

  The Science of Muscle Growth -...

  Muscle growth, also known as muscle hypertrophy, is a complex process influenced by various factors including exercise, nutrition, genetics, and recovery. Understanding how muscles grow is essential for anyone looking to enhance their physique or improve physical performance. In this chapter, we will explore the fundamental principles behind muscle growth, the anatomy of muscles, and the role genetics play in shaping an individual's ability to build muscle. 
  At its core, muscle growth occurs when muscle fibers undergo stress or damage, usually as a result of resistance training. This process, known as muscle fiber microtearing, stimulates the body to repair the damaged fibers by fusing them together, making the muscle thicker and stronger over time. This adaptation process is key to building muscle mass and strength. 
  The human body has different types of muscle fibers: slow-twitch (Type I) and fast-twitch (Type II). Slow-twitch fibers are more endurance-oriented and are activated during prolonged, low-intensity activities like running or cycling. Fast-twitch fibers, on the other hand, are recruited during short bursts of high-intensity activities such as sprinting or weightlifting. Fast-twitch fibers have a greater potential for growth and are the primary target of resistance training, making them crucial for anyone focused on muscle building.
