Aromas del mundo: Una guía para narices inquietas
by Harold McGeeUn viaje al misterioso mundo de los olores con Harold McGee, autor de La cocina y los alimentos. En esta obra de asombrosa sabiduría y originalidad, Harold McGee destila la ciencia que hay detrás de los olores hasta obtener una guía accesible y muy entretenida sobre los aromas del mundo. Aunando vivencias personales y una rigurosa investigación, incorpora los últimos descubrimientos de la biología y la química, y revela cómo nuestro olfato, un sentido con una poderosa pero ignorada influencia en nuestra vida cotidiana, tiene el poder de exponer detalles invisibles e intangibles del mundo material, y provocar sensaciones extraordinarias. Remontándose a los orígenes de los olores en el espacio interestelar, McGee nos cuenta la fascinante historia de las moléculas que desencadenan nuestras percepciones a diario, responsables de fragancias como los aromas cítricos a cilantro y cerveza y los olores medicinalesa narcisos y erizos de mar, muchas de las cuales existían antes de que ninguna criatura pudiera olerlas. Este libro nos lleva en una aventura sensorial en la que olisquearemos lo ordinario (calle mojada y hierba cortada) y lo apetitoso (pan fresco y chocolate), lo delicioso (rosas y vainilla) y lo desagradable (carne en mal estado y huevos podridos), desde la sulfurosa tierra naciente hace más de cuatro mil millones de años hasta las tenues notas de fenol y formaldehído de nuestros teclados de ordenador. McGee rastrea olores de alimentos, bosques, ríos y flores, y nos muestra con su habitual maestría cómo aprender a detectarlos, identificarlos, valorarlos y combinarlos para transformar nuestra relación con la cocina y los sabores. La crítica ha dicho...«Una guía profundamente investigada de los olores del mundo, que capta hasta sus más volátiles moléculas.»The New York Times «Cada página está repleta del equivalente olfativo de las onomatopeyas. No decepcionará a ningún admirador de los ensayos culinarios de McGee.»The Wall Street Journal «El libro de referencia que hará que todo lo que comas parezca más interesante. Hay fascinación y deleite en cada página».The Sunday Times
Aromas of Aleppo: The Legendary Cuisine of Syrian Jews
by Poopa DweckWhen the Aleppian Jewish community migrated from the ancient city of Aleppo in historic Syria and settled in New York and Latin American cities in the early 20th century, it brought its rich cuisine and vibrant culture. Most Syrian recipes and traditions, however, were not written down and existed only in the minds of older generations. Poopa Dweck, a first generation Syrian–Jewish American, has devoted much of her life to preserving and celebrating her community's centuries–old legacy. Dweck relates the history and culture of her community through its extraordinary cuisine, offering more than 180 exciting ethnic recipes with tantalizing photos and describing the unique customs that the Aleppian Jewish community observes during holidays and lifecycle events. Among the irresistible recipes are: •Bazargan–Tangy Tamarind Bulgur Salad •Shurbat Addes–Hearty Red Lentil Soup with Garlic and Coriander •Kibbeh–Stuffed Syrian Meatballs with Ground Rice •Samak b'Batata–Baked Middle Eastern Whole Fish with Potatoes •Sambousak–Buttery Cheese–Filled Sesame Pastries •Eras bi'Ajweh–Date–Filled Crescents •Chai Na'na–Refreshing Mint Tea Like mainstream Middle Eastern cuisines, Aleppian Jewish dishes are alive with flavor and healthful ingredients–featuring whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil–but with their own distinct cultural influences. In Aromas of Aleppo, cooks will discover the best of Poopa Dweck's recipes, which gracefully combine Mediterranean and Levantine influences, and range from small delights (or maza) to daily meals and regal holiday feasts–such as the twelve–course Passover seder.
