Sinossi

Mrs. Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery is an authoritative compendium of recipes and culinary advice that reflects the Victorian era's fascination with domesticity and efficiency. Mrs. Beeton employs a straightforward, accessible prose style, making the text not only practical but also inviting. Organized thematically for ease of navigation, the book encompasses a wide array of dishes and techniques, addressing the needs of both novice cooks and seasoned homemakers. This work situates itself within the broader context of 19th-century cookery literature, contributing to the burgeoning genre of domestic guides that sought to elevate the status of household management among women. Born Isabella Beeton in 1836, Mrs. Beeton became an emblematic figure in the realm of culinary literature. Her experiences as a young bride and her observations of middle-class domestic life informed her writing, allowing her to resonate with readers seeking guidance in an increasingly industrialized society. Her own struggles with disease and motherhood also imbued her work with a sense of empathy and realism, bridging the gap between elegance and practicality. I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Beeton's Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery for anyone interested in the historical context of cooking or seeking inspiration for contemporary meals. This seminal work is not only a treasure trove of recipes but also a window into the sociocultural dynamics of the Victorian home, making it an essential addition to both culinary enthusiasts and scholars alike.

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.

Most importantly, he provides 50 recipes created by him and some of the world's leading bartenders. These exceptional drinks showcase the different characteristics of bitters and how they can refine a cocktail in unique ways.
