Sinopse

"Hidden French Cheeses" unveils a fascinating world of endangered French cheese varieties that are at risk of disappearing due to modernization. From centuries-old monastery caves to remote mountain villages, this comprehensive exploration reveals the intricate relationship between geography, tradition, and cheese-making artistry in France. The book masterfully weaves together the stories of rare fromages that rarely venture beyond their birthplaces, examining how specific microclimates and indigenous mold species contribute to their unique characteristics.

 
The journey through France's lesser-known cheese heritage is structured in three distinct parts, beginning with a historical perspective that traces these dairy treasures from medieval monasteries to present-day artisanal producers. Through detailed profiles of forty rare cheeses, readers discover not only the technical aspects of production but also the cultural significance and traditional methods that have been preserved through generations. The final section confronts the modern challenges facing these traditional cheese-makers, highlighting conservation efforts within an increasingly industrialized food system.

 
What sets this book apart is its meticulous documentation of never-before-recorded techniques in English, supported by extensive research and interviews with multi-generation cheese-making families. While maintaining scholarly accuracy, the narrative remains engaging and accessible, serving both as a professional resource and an enlightening guide for culinary enthusiasts. The work particularly emphasizes the preservation of traditional methods, including specific aging conditions and PDO regulations, while exploring the broader context of French gastronomy and cultural heritage.

From Terrain to Brain - Forays...

Erika Szymanski

In From Terrain to Brain, Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine. 
 
 
 
Too often, wine science is presented as a comprehensive body of knowledge that enthusiasts aiming to become experts should memorize. This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon. By foregrounding recent research and developments in wine science, From Terrain to Brain presents wine science as a work-in-progress rather than a codified body of knowledge. 
 
 
 
Each chapter takes listeners on a journey or "foray" through a topic in wine science, such as minerality, climate, microbiome, and yeast. Chapters are organized from "terrain" (geography, terroir, soil) and cell "membrane" (microbiology) through "brain" (the experience of tasting) and "drain" (sustainability). Throughout, From Terrain to Brain emphasizes that wine science, wine culture, and tradition are interconnected and places scientific research in social and historical context.

Allergology - Allergies and...

Mike Crawford

Allergies are an overreaction of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people. These substances, known as allergens, can include food, pollen, dust, pet dander, insect venom, and certain medications. When an allergic individual comes into contact with an allergen, their immune system mistakenly identifies it as a threat and triggers a defensive response. This response can range from mild symptoms, such as sneezing or a skin rash, to severe and potentially life-threatening reactions like anaphylaxis.
The immune system plays a central role in allergic reactions. Normally, it defends the body against harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system misidentifies allergens as dangerous invaders. The primary component involved in allergic reactions is Immunoglobulin E (IgE), a type of antibody that binds to specific allergens. This binding signals immune cells, such as mast cells and basophils, to release histamine and other inflammatory chemicals, leading to symptoms like swelling, redness, itching, and respiratory distress.
Allergic reactions are classified into different types based on the mechanism and timing of the immune response. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions occur within minutes of allergen exposure and are mediated by IgE. These reactions include hay fever, asthma attacks, and food allergies. Delayed hypersensitivity reactions, on the other hand, take several hours or even days to develop and involve different immune pathways, such as T-cell activation. Contact dermatitis, a reaction to certain chemicals or metals, is an example of a delayed allergic response.
