Knead to Know - A History of Baking

Neil Buttery

Sinopsis

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.

The Surprising New Truth About...

Vines Graener

Research involving goats, sheep, and cattle indicates that animals have an instinctual ability to select foods that provide essential vitamins and nutrients. Throughout history, humans have exhibited similar tendencies. Studies on various groups, including children, sailors, and pregnant women, have shown that people naturally gravitate towards foods containing compounds necessary for preventing diseases like rickets and scurvy. 
  
 The human body craves essential nutrients. In the past, nutrients and flavor were closely intertwined. However, modern food processing has detached flavor from its nutritional value. Artificial flavorings, concocted in laboratories to satisfy emotional cravings, contribute to cognitive and emotional deception. These synthetic flavors disrupt the natural connection between flavors and nutrients, leading to confusion about the nutritional content of foods. 
  
 Despite the prevalence of synthetic flavorings, it is still possible to prepare delicious meals using natural ingredients. Contemporary growers can produce foods bred for both flavor and yield, such as poultry from the Buckeye Recovery Project and tomatoes from Garden Gem varieties. With increased demand and careful cultivation, these nutrient-rich and flavorful foods can become accessible to all consumers.
