Summary

Colorful Foods explores the vibrant world of food color, revealing its surprising connections to nutrition, health, and culture. The book delves into the science behind food pigmentation, explaining how pigments like anthocyanins and carotenoids not only give foods their appealing hues but also contribute to their nutritional content. For instance, the red in tomatoes indicates lycopene, an antioxidant, and the blue in blueberries signals anthocyanins, known for cognitive benefits. 

 
The book progresses from the biological basis of food color to its cultural significance across different societies and its impact on human health. It examines how colorful foods have been used in traditional medicine, religious ceremonies, and culinary practices, illustrating the deep-seated cultural connections to food.

 
By integrating scientific research with cultural insights, Colorful Foods provides a unique and informative perspective, empowering readers to make informed dietary choices and appreciate the rich tapestry of food traditions.

    An entertaining introduction to Scandinavian food containing over 80 recipes developed by Bronte Aurell, owner of the popular ScandiKitchen Cafe in London's West End.

This book features recipes for all occasions, ranging from morning buns, lunchtime savouries, hearty dinners and indulgent desserts, to bakes and other foods for special celebrations.

Enjoy fresh and simple open sandwiches, healthy Nordic salads, delicious traditional hot dishes and indulgent cakes. Discover new flavours and textures from mustard pickled herring and gravlax to sticky Kladdkaka cake.

There's so much more to Nordic food than pickled herring and meatballs. Stretching from the midnight sun of northern Norway to the flat, fertile fields of Denmark, Scandinavian food culture is a lot more varied than you might think. Dishes and ingredients link all the regions together, bringing a uniquely Nordic food experience to life that was created by thousands of years of heritage and shared culture. Scandinavian food is simple. Natives call it 'husmanskost' (farmer's fare). It's natural and honest. When you work with the very best produce, there's no need to overcomplicate it. Its appeal lies in the fact that it is healthy, wholesome, flavoursome, simple to make and beautiful to look at.
