  Their Last Suppers - Legends of...

  • 0

  A journey through over 2000 years of culinary history and the final repasts of famous figures—with recipes included. 
   
  Part historical narrative and part grilling guide and cookbook, Andrew Caldwell’s Their Last Suppers guides history buffs and gourmands alike through gastronomically inspired biographical accounts of more than twenty legendary personalities. Recipes are included (though the author has decided to skip the pork blood beverages drunk by the Spartans). 
   
  Unearthing recipes as far back as 323 B.C., Caldwell, aka the History Chef, provides insight into two thousand years of culinary lore. Each historical figure’s profile includes a brief description of pursuits and accomplishments as well as little-known anecdotes, popular foods of his or her time period, recipes for the figure’s actual last meal, and cooking tips. Because the kitchens of Montezuma, Caesar, and other notables profiled within the book were often very basic, Caldwell brings their fare into modern kitchens, although he strongly believes that, whenever possible, grills and open fires should be used for most dishes and therefore provides specific preparation tips throughout. 
   
  From the Titanic’s twelve-course tasting menu to personal recipes for Princess Diana’s Favorite Watercress Soup, Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich, Julius Caesar’s Ambrosia, Cleopatra’s Hummus, and Stone Crab a la Kennedy, historians and foodies alike will relish the trivia and tastings paired within this unique and entertaining book.

  Bread and Oil - A Celebration of...

  Tomás Graves

  A blend of history, travelogue, and cookbook focused on the Spanish island, “with a strong sense of place [and] a genuine voice…satisfying as a fine novel” (Terese Allen, author of The Flavor of Wisconsin). Coarse bread bathed in olive oil, then rubbed with tomato or garlic and salt, is common to all the Mediterranean cultures from France to Algeria, from Morocco to Greece. On the island of Majorca, it is known as pa amb oli, bread and oil. Tomás Graves takes this healthy peasant staple as a starting point to explore not only Mediterranean cooking, agriculture, and traditions but also the historical events that have rescued this simple dish from disappearing along with a way of life that had remained essentially unchanged since Roman times. Pa amb oli has come to symbolize for Majorcans all that is still honest and valid in the island, which became a major tourist destination in the 1960s and has been looking for its soul ever since. In Bread & Oil this wonderfully evocative writer celebrates the Majorcan character as reflected in its eating habits. He makes the sights, insights, sounds, scents, and lively folk of the Spanish island jump to life brilliantly. Whether he's writing about class structure, love, or war, Graves, in his own translation of the original Catalan version, manages to tie it all in to bread and oil. Part adventure log, part history book, part travelogue, part restaurant guide, and part cookbook, Bread & Oil includes recipes that reflect the indigenous ingredients: wrinkled olives made with olive oil, lemon juice and crushed garlic; fried sardines topped with sautéed onions and marinated in vinegar served cold with bread and oil; guacamole with tomatoes and onions; and aubergine mousse with cinnamon and curry powder. Graves, son of British poet Robert Graves, writes of a wise tip he once got: “In the event of having had too much to drink, eat a slice of bread soaked in virgin olive oil and in an hour’s time you'll feel right as rain again.” The same can undoubtedly be said of reading this book.

  The Complete Guide to Burn Fat and Calories with Self-Hypnosis. 
  Have you tried a million different diets already, with no success? 
  Have you become convinced that you will never lose weight?  
  Food can be addictive in a similar way to a drug. On the one hand, those who live in this condition know very well what they should eat, on the other hand, they are irresistibly attracted to foods they do not need. They know they are not hungry, but despite that, they cannot control themself. 
  When we decide to start a weight loss program, 90 percent of the work is done by our brain. The remaining 10 percent from a good meal plan. This is the reason why many people manage to lose weight in a few weeks and then get it all back in a few days, throwing away all effort. 
  No matter your weight, self-hypnosis is a brilliant tool that can work for anyone. Stop useless and inefficient diets, and start your journey to reach your ideal weight.
