Summary

Pickling Growth unveils the captivating story of pickling, an ancient food preservation method that has profoundly impacted global cuisines and trade. More than just a technique, pickling has acted as a catalyst for cultural exchange. Imagine how the simple act of preserving cucumbers, cabbage, or even eggs could facilitate exploration and shape regional foodways. From ancient Mesopotamia to modern kitchens, pickling’s journey is one of innovation and adaptation.

It also showcases how pickling techniques have been used in diverse culinary applications, from Asian kimchi to European sauerkraut. By combining historical analysis, scientific explanations, and culinary explorations, Pickling Growth offers a unique perspective on this transformative practice.

 
Beginning with fundamental pickling concepts, the book progresses through historical development, scientific principles, and culinary applications, providing a comprehensive understanding of its impact.

Nicola Nice, Robert Simonson

Meet the hostesses who have shaped cocktail history, and learn how to make the drinks they loved. 
 
 
 
Throughout American history, women have helped propel what we know as classic cocktails—the Martini, the Manhattan, the Old-Fashioned, and more—into popular culture.

In The Cocktail Parlor, Dr. Nicola Nice, sociologist and spirits entrepreneur, gives women their long-overdue spotlight in cocktail history and shows how they still impact cocktail culture today. 
 
 
 
Journeying through the decades, this book profiles a diverse array of influential hostesses. With each historic era comes iconic recipes, featuring a total of forty main cocktails and more than 100 variations that listeners can make at home. Whether its happy hour punch a la Martha Washington or a Harlem Renaissance-inspired Green Skirt, listeners will find that many of the ingredients and drinks they're familiar with today wouldn't be here without the hostesses who served them first.

The Morals of Diet - The First Step

Leo Tolstoy

Written in 1892, during the later years of his life, Leo Tolstoy’s The Morals of Diet reflects the profound spiritual transformation that reshaped his outlook after Anna Karenina and War and Peace. In the decades following his literary success, Tolstoy underwent a moral and religious awakening, renouncing wealth, privilege, and the comforts of aristocratic life. He sought a simpler, purer existence grounded in truth, humility, and nonviolence. This period gave rise to his moral essays — What I Believe, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and The Morals of Diet (The First Step) — in which he strove to align daily actions with spiritual conscience. 
The First Step emerges from this search for ethical coherence. Ostensibly an essay about vegetarianism, it is in fact a meditation on the nature of moral progress and the necessity of compassion. Tolstoy argues that abstaining from the killing of animals is the first, most tangible act of moral purification — “the first step” toward a life of genuine goodness. For him, cruelty, however subtle or socially accepted, degrades the human spirit. To refrain from violence, even in small forms, is to begin transforming one’s relationship to all living beings.
