Man Made Meals

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

Steven Raichlen really knows the pleasure men get from cooking, the joy they take in having the skills, the need to show off a little bit. His Barbecue! Bible books have over 4.7 million copies in print—and now he leads his readers from the grill into the kitchen. Like a Joy of Cooking for guys, Man Made Meals is everything a man needs to achieve confidence and competence in the kitchen.Man Made Meals is about the tools and techniques (guess what, grillers, you still get to play with knives and fire.) It's about adopting secrets from the pros—how to multitask, prep before you start cooking, clean as you go. It's about understanding flavor and flavor boosters, like anchovies and miso, and it’s about essentials: how to shuck an oyster, truss a chicken, cook a steak to the desired doneness. It’s about having a repertoire of great recipes (there are 300 to choose from), breakfast to dessert, to dazzle a date, or be a hero to your family, or simply feed yourself with real pleasure. These are recipes with a decided guy appeal, like Blowtorch Oatmeal, Fire-Eater Chicken Wings, Black Kale Caesar, Down East Lobster Rolls, Skillet Rib Steak, Porchetta, Finger-Burner Lamb Chops, Yardbird’s Fried Chicken, Blackened Salmon, Mashed Potatoes Three Ways, and Ice Cream Floats for Grown-Ups.

Sowa Rigpa

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

“Sono diventato astemio, non bevo più caffè, non fumo: è successo tutto in maniera spontanea. Quando si arriva a scegliere spontaneamente, come nel mio caso, è da considerare come un regalo. Giravo Musikanten e prendevo sette-otto caffè al giorno! Ora non lo posso più bere. Lo stesso mi accade col vino. Un paio d’anni anni fa, in un ristorante a Macerata, assaggiando un'oliva... improvvisamente ho sentito milioni di cellule del mio corpo gridare come per ribellarsi. Ho chiesto al cameriere, per sapere cosa ci fosse dentro quell'oliva e mi ha fatto un elenco: carne di maiale, mortadella, salsiccia... Dentro un'oliva c'era una salumeria, in forma atomizzata!”. (Franco Battiato)“È abbastanza facile creare un piatto gentile. Basta che sia a base di alimenti di origine vegetale. I piatti descritti in questo libro sono non violenti. Li possiamo mangiare in pace, sapendo che ci fanno bene, che per prepararli non sono stati maltrattati animali, che non danneggiano l’ambiente, che non sottraggono cibo a chi muore di fame. Questo è già molto, non vi pare?”. (Piero Ferrucci)

Una magnífica investigación para comprender el poder mágico de transformación de la cocina.«Los cocineros trabajan con materia viva, no solo con teclados y con pantallas, sino con cosas fundamentales como plantas, animales y hongos.

The Food of a Younger Land

Cookbooks, Food & Wine

Recommended by Chef José Andrés on The Drew Barrymore Show!A remarkable portrait of American food before World War II, presented by the New York Times-bestselling author of Cod and Salt. Award-winning New York Times-bestselling author Mark Kurlansky takes us back to the food and eating habits of a younger America: Before the national highway system brought the country closer together; before chain restaurants imposed uniformity and low quality; and before the Frigidaire meant frozen food in mass quantities, the nation's food was seasonal, regional, and traditional. It helped form the distinct character, attitudes, and customs of those who ate it. In the 1930s, with the country gripped by the Great Depression and millions of Americans struggling to get by, FDR created the Federal Writers' Project under the New Deal as a make-work program for artists and authors. A number of writers, including Zora Neale Hurston, Eudora Welty, and Nelson Algren, were dispatched all across America to chronicle the eating habits, traditions, and struggles of local people. The project, called "America Eats," was abandoned in the early 1940s because of the World War and never completed. The Food of a Younger Land unearths this forgotten literary and historical treasure and brings it to exuberant life. Mark Kurlansky's brilliant book captures these remarkable stories, and combined with authentic recipes, anecdotes, photos, and his own musings and analysis, evokes a bygone era when Americans had never heard of fast food and the grocery superstore was a thing of the future. Kurlansky serves as a guide to this hearty and poignant look at the country's roots. From New York automats to Georgia Coca-Cola parties, from Arkansas possum-eating clubs to Puget Sound salmon feasts, from Choctaw funerals to South Carolina barbecues, the WPA writers found Americans in their regional niches and eating an enormous diversity of meals. From Mississippi chittlins to Indiana persimmon puddings, Maine lobsters, and Montana beavertails, they recorded the curiosities, commonalities, and communities of American food.

Regras da comida

Coma comida de verdade", destina-se a distinguir o que é comida saudável das "substâncias comestíveis parecidas com comida", que fazem adoecer e engordar. "Que tipo de comida devo comer? Principalmente vegetais" esclarece distinções entre os variados tipos de alimentos e questões como o consumo de carne – que não precisa ser banida da dieta. Na terceira parte, "Como devo comer? Pouco", ele aborda as estratégias para se chegar à maneira correta de se alimentar com dicas que visam a evitar os excessos responsáveis pelo sobrepeso e suas consequências. Sucinto e prático, o livro Regras da comida: um manual da sabedoria alimentar prova que comer bem pode ser fácil e muito prazeroso.
