Beschreibung

Unexpected Food Origins explores the fascinating and often surprising histories behind the foods we eat every day. It reveals how cultural exchange, accidental discoveries, and even hidden ingredients have shaped our culinary landscape. The book isn't just about recipes; it's a journey through time, uncovering the global interconnectedness of our plates. For example, the book highlights how something as ubiquitous as penicillin has influenced food preservation or how dishes like pizza have evolved through different cultures. This exploration of food history combines historical context with culinary insights, offering a multidisciplinary look at our meals. The book argues that the origins of food are far more complex than we often realize, challenging assumptions about cultural ownership and the origins of culinary traditions.

Starting with key concepts of food history, the book progresses through major sections focusing on specific food categories, accidental discoveries, and the role of cultural exchange. It culminates by discussing the practical applications of this knowledge, such as understanding food labeling and promoting sustainable agriculture. The book stands out by debunking common misconceptions and providing a nuanced, evidence-based account suitable for food enthusiasts and history buffs alike. By examining the development of specific foods and the historical context surrounding their creation, Unexpected Food Origins provides a fresh perspective on familiar foods, encouraging a deeper appreciation of our interconnected world.

The Just Kitchen - Invitations...

Anna Woofenden, Derrick Weston

Join the call of a just kitchen: where meal preparation is as much an act of resistance against injustice as marches and protests. 
 
 
 
For food and faith writers and podcasters Derrick Weston and Anna Woofenden, The Just Kitchen is about a passion for food, sharing meals, showing hospitality, and understanding cultures, faith traditions, food histories, and local foodways. 
 
 
 
Their authentic podcast conversations spill over the pages of this book and explore how the kitchen can be a place where the things we care about most in the world are reflected in the foods we prepare and the way we prepare them. In a world where disconnection from the earth, our food, our faith, and each other is becoming the norm, Weston and Woofenden bring together voices of hope who are working for a world of organic reconnections. They invite us to dig deeply into the complexity of ecology and food systems, as well as how faith communities are connected to them. 
 
 
 
This is an invitation to reprioritize the kitchen as a space for healing, community, activism, and celebration. Be inspired to see the sacred in the daily mundane, forge connection with the people and earth around you, and join the call of a just kitchen.

Diabetes Is Not Always Permanent...

Kerri Ryan

Diabetic symptoms are not always easy to identify. Type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes, all stem from the same cause but the medical community places a subcategory to help them take into consideration other age-related issues that might be present. All these signs of diabetes can be found in this book, and explain the reasons why they are happening, so you can better understand how to respond to this diagnosis. Basically, the pancreas has lost the ability to convert sugars into energy causing the diabetic to often start taking insulin shots. 
  
Diabetes is a very serious disease that can bring a lifetime of medical issues, including death, so understanding how it got started, how to prevent it, and in some cases reverse it, is vital if you have been diagnosed. Neuropathy, cardio-vascular issues, blindness, and sores that won't heal can often be corrected providing you have the correct information and learn how to reverse existing symptoms. However, under no circumstances should this book be used to replace our doctor's advice. Everyone is unique, and he will have more information about your personal condition than I do, so learn how to respond to diabetes, and once your chemistry is back in balance, reverse symptoms, and let your doctor decide if it is time to discontinue any treatments.
