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.

Let's Eat - Jewish Food and Faith

Lori Stein, Ronald H Isaacs

The food that Jewish people eat is part of our connection to our faith, culture, and history. Not only is Jewish food comforting and delicious, it’s also a link to every facet of Judaism. By learning about and cooking traditional Jewish dishes, we can understand fundamentals such as kashrut, community, and diversity. And Jewish history is so connected to food that one comedian said that the story of Judaism can be condensed into nine words: They tried to kill us. We survived. Let’s eat.  Let’s Eat follows the calendar of Jewish holidays to include food from the many different Jewish communities around the world; in doing so, it brings the values that are the foundation of Judaism into focus. It also covers the way these foods have ended up on the Jewish menu and how Jews, as they wandered through the world, have influenced and been influenced by other nations and cuisines. Including over 40 recipes, this delicious review of the role of food in Jewish life offers a lively history alongside the traditions of

Pulse - Modern recipes with...

Eleanor Maidment

CELEBRATE beans, lentils and peas in all their glory with this delicious new book.

A MODERN spin on cooking with pulses and how they can be incorporated into EVERYDAY MEALS.

Affordable, sustainable, good for gut and overall health, good for the environment, a solution to eating less meat, packed with protein and fibre – pulses are the future of home cooking.

Health practitioners advise us to eat more fibre, environmentalists tell us to eat less meat and in Mediterranean Europe – a region that is widely considered to have the holy grail of healthy cuisines – eating pulses is a daily way of life. Zoe, which is a leading provider of science-led health research headed up by Professor Tim Spector, is constantly recommending that we eat more beans. It shares lots of pulse-based recipes on its Instagram channel and has described beans as 'magical food'.

Covering dried, canned and jarred pulses, and including recipes featuring meat, poultry and fish, this book demonstrates how easy it is to cook with pulses through 75 delicious recipes as well as highlighting their nutritional benefits. Pulses can be deeply comforting, light and delicate, crisp and crunchy or soft and luxurious. Knowing how to cook with them is key. Every recipe in this book will transform a humble bean or lentil into something aspirational and appealing.

5 AM Club The: Own Your Morning...

Vines Graener

Personal mastery is dependent upon your ability to detach from societal ideas about proper living. 
Each person has unique talents that, if cultivated properly, can lead to personal happiness and worldly success, and help people leave their mark on future generations. If you really want to find personal fulfillment and make an impact on others, you must detach from societal influences and mind-numbing habits like staying glued to your phone and worrying about what others think of you. Once you are able to quiet the external voices that dictate how you should live, you can listen to your own instincts, which are always your best guide.
