Savory Meat

Winston Cellini

Sinopse

'Savory Meat' delves into the fascinating intersection of science and culinary artistry, exploring the fundamental principles that transform ordinary meat into exceptional dishes. At its core, the book focuses on three critical elements: temperature management, moisture control, and flavor enhancement, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of how meat responds to various cooking methods and why certain techniques yield superior results.

 
The book uniquely bridges the gap between traditional cooking wisdom and modern food science, presenting its content through three progressive sections that build upon each other. Beginning with The Science of Meat, readers learn about protein behavior and muscle structure, before moving into practical preparation techniques like dry-aging and sous-vide cooking. The final section applies this knowledge to real-world cooking scenarios, empowering both home cooks and professionals to adapt techniques across different cuts and cooking environments.

 
What sets this work apart is its methodical yet accessible approach to complex culinary concepts, supported by research from food science laboratories and professional kitchens worldwide. Rather than merely providing rigid recipes, it emphasizes understanding the underlying principles of meat cookery, enabling readers to make informed decisions in their own kitchens. Through clear analogies and practical examples, the book transforms technical concepts into digestible information, making it an invaluable resource for serious home cooks, culinary students, and food service professionals alike.

Tequila Wars - Jose Cuervo and...

Ted Genoways

At the dawn of the twentieth century, José Cuervo inherited his family's humble distillery, La Rojeña, in the Tequila Valley. Within a decade, it would become Mexico's leading producer of tequila. But when the Mexican Revolution erupted, a charge of treason and a death threat against him by Pancho Villa forced Cuervo to flee. His disappearance turned him into an obscure, shadowy historical figure. 
 
 
 
In Tequila Wars, award-winning author Ted Genoways restores Cuervo to his place as a key player in Mexico's formative period. Before the revolution, Cuervo's acclaim spread worldwide, and once war broke out, Cuervo remained an impresario, kingmaker, and cultural force. In the face of his own government's corruption and the nationalism of his northern neighbors, Cuervo reached American drinkers by establishing Mexico’s covert form of cross-border commerce with the United States. As the largest and most important distilleries in the Tequila Valley recognized the threat posed by Mexico's unraveling, Cuervo also lobbied for suspending normal competition in favor of "a union of tequila makers"—what would become the first Mexican cartel. 
 
 
 
The first biography of Cuervo, Tequila Wars uncovers the history of the man who would forever change not only the business of tequila, but international relations between Mexico and the United States.

Kombucha

Louise Avery

Kombucha is a fermented drink (made using tea, sugar, a simple bacteria and yeast) that is known for its health-giving properties. It is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, along with the trends for home-fermenting, preserving and enjoying 'living' foods.
Louise Avery began brewing kombucha in 2010 as part of a self-sufficient and healthy lifestyle, living on a Scottish Island in the Hebrides, simply because she loved its unique and more-ish taste. Now she is one of London's best-connected kombucha producers. Here she reveals her tried-and-tested recipes that use the freshest produce to create truly delicious cold teas. Starting with an introduction to kombucha, Louise offers information on the types of tea you can use to flavour your kombucha, the health benefits of drinking it, the essential equipment you will need to brew your own and the dos and don'ts when it comes to selecting other ingredients. Following this, she presents a step-by-step basic process for brewing kombucha, bottling and storing and controlling the yeast. Recipes are then organised by type of base: 'Fruit', with recipes for Blood Orangeade, Pear and Ginger, Pomegranate and Lime, a Cranberry Cleanse and Blueberry Lemonade; 'Vegetable', including Sour Rhubarb Fizz, Striped Candy Beetroot and Lime, and a Virgin Mary. Next up, 'Flower' has ideas for Hibiscus Kombucha, Rose Petal Tea, Lavender Love and a Hoppy Pale Ale, while 'Herb, Spice and Tea' is where things heat up with Lemongrass Tea and two Turmeric Immune Boosters as well as Jasmine Kombucha and a Lychee Basil 'Mojito'.
