Summary

In "Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies: Household Methods of Preparation," Maria Parloa presents a meticulous examination of the art of food preservation, offering readers an essential guide to canning fruits and making preserves and jellies. Parloa's writing showcases a didactic tone, blending practical advice with an accessible style that caters to both novice and seasoned homemakers. The book is set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a period marked by burgeoning industrialization and home economies, where knowledge of food preservation became not just a domestic skill, but a method of ensuring family sustenance and thrift. Maria Parloa, a pioneering figure in American culinary education, exemplified the shift towards more structured approaches to cooking in the domestic realm. As a food writer, educator, and advocate for culinary techniques accessible to all, her insights in this book were likely influenced by her own experiences in promoting efficient cooking and preserving habits among homemakers of her time. Parloa's contributions to the food preservation movement further highlight the intersection of practicality and tradition in American kitchens. For anyone interested in the art of home canning, Parloa's comprehensive guide serves as an invaluable resource. Her clear instructions and insightful techniques not only empower the reader to preserve seasonal bounty, but also celebrate the age-old traditions of food craftsmanship. This book is a must-read for aspiring home canners, culinary historians, and anyone eager to embrace a sustainable approach to food.

    A revolutionary new keto diet program from Dr. Michael Mosley, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The FastDiet. Recent studies have shown that a keto diet not only produces significant—and rapid—weight loss, but also has many other benefits for long-term health. But it must be done the right way. In 21-Day Keto Magic, Dr. Mosley presents the latest science on the ketogenic diet—a diet high in fat and protein and very low in carbs—explaining how it works and why it is so good for you. The aim of a keto regime is to kickstart a process called ketosis, whereby your body goes from burning sugar to burning fat for fuel. Flipping this metabolic switch has the added advantage of making you feel less hungry, which makes the diet highly motivating and relatively easy to sustain. 21-Day Keto Magic offers a detailed, step-by-step program, along with easy tips and clear advice on which foods support ketosis and which ones stop it, how to tell if you are producing ketones, and how to ensure that you're following the diet safely. There are also 50 delicious recipes from Michael's wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, as well as shopping lists, weekly meal planners, and all the other tools you need to ditch stubborn fat and transform your health for life.
