Synopsis

"Fermented Foods" explores the fascinating world where history and cooking intersect, revealing how fermentation has shaped culinary traditions and food preservation across cultures. This book argues that fermentation is more than a method; it's a cornerstone of global cuisines. Intriguingly, the practice dates back to ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, who brewed beer, and Korea, where kimchi-making thrived. Fermentation not only ensured food security but also contributed to unique regional flavors and dietary habits.

The book uniquely blends historical narrative with scientific explanations, detailing the microbiology behind the process. It progresses logically from fundamental principles to historical applications, examining the health benefits and nutritional value of fermented foods. Readers will discover how microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts, and molds transform raw ingredients, enhancing gut health through probiotics and increasing nutrient bioavailability.

Furthermore, the book clarifies common misconceptions and provides an accessible pathway for understanding both the science and the cultural significance of fermentation. It adopts a narrative non-fiction style, covering key principles, historical contexts, and scientific aspects, while also offering practical guidance for home fermentation. Although it doesn’t cover every fermented food, the book focuses on representative examples to illustrate core techniques and principles. The book aims to provide a balanced perspective, even addressing ongoing debates and potential risks associated with certain fermentation practices.

Girl on the Block - A True Story...

Anonyme

A memoir of coming of age behind the counter, exploring butchery as an art form and taking an incisive look at an industry on the brink. 
When sixteen-year-old Jessica Wragg applied for a job at her local farm shop in Derbyshire, England, she never expected to land a position behind the butchery counter. Wragg was younger than many of her colleagues by decades and she was one of the few women on staff, struggling to earn her keep among colleagues who were reluctant to share the tricks of their trade with a novice. Breaking down carcasses by day, and studying animal anatomy by night, Wragg was soon hooked and determined to establish herself in an industry that is steeped in tradition, and often resistant to change.  
From the English countryside to the streets of London, Girl on the Block blends Wragg’s personal coming of age story with a lyrical exploration of her craft and a rich history of butchery. She also examines the modern meat industry and the ever-changing ideologies around ethical meat consumption, as an often-conflicted carnivore who has spent time in an abattoir and witnessed slaughter firsthand. A raw tour through one of the world’s oldest, dirtiest, and most fascinating professions, Girl on the Block is Wragg’s tale of returning home with blood on her boots at the end of fourteen-hour days and finding her way in the end.

The book begins with the Greek, Roman, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions before the boot-shaped peninsula was even called “Italy,” then takes readers on a journey through Europe and across the ocean to America alongside the poor but hopeful Italian immigrants who slowly but surely won over the hearts and minds of Americans by way of their stomachs.Featuring evil villains such as the Atkins diet and French chefs, this is a rollicking tale of how Italian cuisine rose to its place as the most beloved fare in the world, through the lives of the people who led the charge.With savory anecdotes from these top chefs and restaurateurs:Danny MeyerTony MantuanoMichael ChiarelloGiada de LaurentiisGiuseppe CiprianiNigella LawsonAnd the trials and triumphs of these restaurants:Da SilvanoSpiaggiaBottegaUnion Square CaféMaialinoRao'sBabboIl Cantinori“Mariani captures the history and elemental beauty of a cuisine that really does seem to appeal to more palates than any other . . . you owe it to yourself to read this book.” —Las Vegas Weekly

Forbidden - A 3000-Year History...

Jordan D. Rosenblum

Jews do not eat pig. This (not always true) observation has been made by both Jews and non-Jews for more than three thousand years and is rooted in biblical law. Though the Torah prohibits eating pig meat, it is not singled out more than other food prohibitions. Horses, rabbits, squirrels, and even vultures, while also not kosher, do not inspire the same level of revulsion for Jews as the pig. The pig has become a symbol for people to signal their Jewishness, non-Jewishness, or rebellion from Judaism. 
 
 
 
Starting with the Hebrew Bible, Jordan D. Rosenblum historicizes the emergence of the pig as a key symbol of Jewish identity, from the Roman persecution of ancient rabbis, to the Spanish Inquisition, to Shakespeare's writings, to modern memoirs of those leaving Orthodox Judaism. The pig appears in debates about Jewish emancipation in eighteenth-century England and in vaccine conspiracies; in World War II rallying cries, when many American Jewish soldiers were "eating ham for Uncle Sam;" and in recent deliberations about the kosher status of Impossible Pork. 
 
 
 
All told, there is a rich and varied story about the associations of Jews and pigs over time, both emerging from within Judaism and imposed on Jews by others. Expansive yet accessible, Forbidden offers a captivating look into Jewish history and identity through the lens of the pig.

Why Veganism

Sam Dickinson

Veganism is a philosophy, diet, and lifestyle.The term “vegan” combines the beginning and end of the word “vegetarian,” symbolizing the transition to veganism, which starts with vegetarianism.A vegan is defined as a “strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products” and “one who abstains from using animal products,” extending beyond merely dietary exclusions.Such forbidden foods include eggs, honey, and gelatin. In contrast, animal products such as leather, wool, fur, and silk are excluded from clothing and upholstery. In other words, veganism is not simply a diet but a lifestyle. This key aspect often goes unnoticed today.  In this audiobook, you will learn that the reasons for becoming vegan are numerous and varied.
