    AMISH CANNING AND PRESERVING...

    Canning sounds complicated, but it isn’t; it’s just another way of cooking your food, but instead of cooking each meal as you need to eat it, you simply cook foods you can store for the long term. 
    Why would you want to do that? 
    For several reasons. First, it’s a great way to ensure you have food available in an emergency, such as long-term power blackouts. Second, it’s a great way of ensuring that you have food to hand when you don’t feel like cooking a meal from scratch or don’t have the time. And third, it lets you preserve foods when they are at their best flavor, especially if you grow your own fruit and vegetables or get great seasonal deals at farmer’s markets or grocery stores. Imagine having homemade jams and jellies for breakfast, crunchy pickles, sauces, relishes, and even meat and fish, all prepared and stored by you. 
    Canning is one of the most common techniques for preserving fresh food in jars and killing bacteria and microorganisms using heat. That heat also stops certain enzymes that can make the food go bad, ensuring you can store your food for months. 
    When you heat the jars, the air is pushed out of the jar; as the jars cool, the lids seal, creating a vacuum that helps preserve the food. Because there is no air in the jars, yeast, microbes, and mold cannot form, thus ensuring the food doesn’t go bad

    Reflections of a Vintner recounts the lessons learned, relationships forged, and observations made from an insider's nearly fifty-year journey through the burgeoning wine industry in Napa Valley. From the mid-seventies, when there were less than fifty wineries, to the present, with over eight hundred, Tor Kenward shares his recollections as the region became a world-class wine destination. 
     
     
     
    In addition to the wine knowledge Kenward imparts, the vintner shares stories of his friendships with legends of the modern American food and wine scene, including Julia Child, André Tchelistcheff, Andy Beckstoffer, and Robert Mondavi, among others. 
     
     
     
    In the October 2021 Judgment of Napa, TOR Cabernet was judged to be #1, outscoring legendary Bordeaux châteaux, Napa Valley, and international peers by leading critics and sommeliers. TOR wines, coveted by connoisseurs worldwide, received seven perfect 100-point ratings from leading critics for their 2018 Napa Valley wines. 
     
     
     
    With Kenward's impressive connection to Napa Valley and his legacy of creating inimitable wines, Reflections of a Vintner offers entertaining insights into an often intimidating and complex but highly enjoyable world.

    Authentic Indian food from Manju, the world's oldest chef, and her award-winning restaurant in this homage to the vegetarian cuisine of Gujarat.
    
    2022 She Awards Outstanding Culinary Skills winner Manju Patel.
    
    The food being served at Manju's fabulous restaurant in Brighton is a homage to the cuisine of Gujarat, where vegetarian cooking is both a religious belief and an environmental cause. Living and growing up in Uganda, Manju was passionate about cooking and was taught to cook by her mother. At the age of 14, she was cooking and supplying 35 tiffins a day, just to make ends meet. In 1972, all East African Asians were exiled from Uganda and Manju arrived in London with little money and went to work in a factory where she stayed until she retired. Her dreams of owning and running a restaurant were forgotten for six decades, until her two sons realized her dreams by opening a restaurant in her honour. Every dish on the menu is cooked alongside her daughter-in-law and head chef Dipali, a highly trained chef, born and raised in Gujarat. So, if eating authentic Indian food intrigues, then try this wonderful collection of authentic Indian recipes, which includes delights such as Samosa Chaat, Surti Shark, Palak Paneer, and Masala Dosa.
