Summary

Great Britain is a premium wine-producing region, with
around 650 vineyards in England and Wales covering some 2,750 hectares and
producing sparkling and still wines. English and Welsh wines have won many
prestigious awards recently and Stephen Skelton is the leading authority on the wines of the UK.
 
The wines of Great Britain is a
comprehensive survey of the history of UK wines, as well as of the current
state of the wine industry and its future prospects. After a short introduction
showing where UK wine is in 2019 and where it might go in the future Skelton
considers the history of winemaking in the UK from King Alfred in the fifth century, through the medieval period to recent developments in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. The wines of Great Britain then takes us on a tour of contemporary
viticulture and winemaking, examining trends in plantings and vineyard layout, varieties,
rootstocks and clones, vineyard sizes, modern wineries and styles of wine.
Skelton considers regional identities as well as the branding of UK sparkling
wines and their market position.
 
A substantial part of this
important book is the 21 detailed biographies of the most important, exciting and innovative producers and the wines they create. Wine businesses profiled in detail include Breaky Bottom, Chapel Down, Nyetimber, Oxney Organic Estate, Sixteen Ridges Vineyard and Yorkshire Heart Vineyard. Shorter entries on other significant or up and coming producers also feature.

    Book Description 
    In today’s modern world, there seems to be a new trending diet to try out or follow every week. Everyone wants to get the ideal body that society has sold us, and they want to get it quick. Our problem is that we view these dietary changes this way, as a means to an end rather than a lifestyle change. It can be discouraging to make lifestyle changes when the diets seem so complicated and expensive, especially for those people who don’t live in the first world. Things like Atkins and Keto just seem unrealistic. 
    In this guide, you’ll be reintroduced to a lifestyle that has been around for centuries. This diet is just as trendy as Atkins and is steadily on the rise. We’re talking about Veganism. We shouldn’t be dieting to lose weight and keep up with the unrealistic body standards of the day. We should make lifestyle changes that better us and our health. Veganism is a lifestyle change. One that results in better health overall. 
    The goal of this guide is to educate on Veganism as well as its origins in Africa, and its continuance throughout different African, and global, societies, and give tips and advice on how to transition into or maintain a vegan diet while living in Africa

    Discover how to drop the pounds permanently with this ketogenic diet cookbook. 
     
    You’ve hit it before—the dreaded weight-loss plateau that you just can’t break through. No matter what, the pounds won’t go even with calorie counting and traditional low-carb diets. Turns out there is a secret weapon to losing weight—fat (and lots of it). After decades of taking butter, bacon, eggs, and avocados off the table, it turns out that fats are far better for beating the battle of the bulge than “healthy whole grains” and high protein diets. Backed up by science, the LCHF diet is quickly becoming the hottest way to shed pounds and jumpstart a stalled metabolism. 
     
    Low-carb proponent and bestselling author Dana Carpender will guide you through the LCHF lifestyle and shed light on important questions such as:Is LCHF safe?Why does the traditional low-carb, high-protein diet not work for you?Which Are Good Fats? (Not all fats are created equal!) 
     
    In 200 Low-Carb, High-Fat Recipes you get tips for creating low-carb/high-fat meals, and find out why three meals a day may not be needed! With 200 recipes, including soups, breakfasts, appetizers, sides and sauces, you’ll never be cooked for delicious ideas! 
     
    Praise for 200 Low-Carb High-Fat Recipes 
     
    “If you are among the nutritionally enlightened, rejecting the outdated and destructive ‘cut your fat and eat more healthy whole grains’ message, and have ambitions for a sumptuous return to duck fat, lard, bacon fat, and coconut milk and doing it in style, then Dana’s new book is right up your alley.” —William Davis, M.D., author of #1 New York Times–bestseller Wheat Belly 
     
    “Fat is back and better than ever. Real food-based fats like butter, coconut oil, steak, cream, and cheese, are essential to help you burn fat, zap hunger and cravings, and optimize your health in ways you never thought possible. If you want to be in a state of nutritional ketosis, 200 Low-Carb, High-Fat Recipes is your new go-to resource.” —Jimmy Moore, author of Cholesterol Clarity and Keto Clarity
