The Advantages Of Raw Food
by Dr Julian P. ThomasHuman bodies, like all other living bodies, are composed of a multitude of tiny living cells. When we use the body these cells wear out and need replenishing. We replenish them by eating food which contains these cells.It is my purpose in this book to show that it is better to take these living cells in their natural condition than to take them after they have been destroyed by cooking. In the one case they fill the consumer with new vitality. In the other case they fill the consumer with disease and sooner or later cause death.--From Author's IntroductionComplete with Recipes.
The Adventures of Fat Rice: Recipes from the Chicago Restaurant Inspired by Macau
by Adrienne Lo Hugh Amano Abraham ConlonWith 100 recipes, this is the first book to explore the vibrant food culture of Macau--an east-meets-west melting pot of Chinese, Portuguese, Malaysian, and Indian foodways--as seen through the lens of the cult favorite Chicago restaurant, Fat Rice. An hour's ferry ride from Hong Kong, on the banks of the Pearl River in China, lies Macau--a modern, cosmopolitan city with an unexpected history. For centuries, Macau was one of the world's greatest trading ports: a Portuguese outpost and crossroads along the spice route, where travelers from Europe, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and mainland China traded resources, culture, and food. The Adventures of Fat Rice is the story of how two Chicago chefs discovered and fell in love with this fascinating and, at least until now, unheralded cuisine. With dishes like Minchi (a classic Macanese meat hash), Po Kok Gai (a Portuguese-influenced chicken curry with chouriço and olives), and Arroz Gordo (if paella and fried rice had a baby), now you, too, can bring the eclectic and wonderfully unique--yet enticingly familiar--flavors of Macau into your own kitchen.From the Hardcover edition.
The Adventurous Eaters Club: Mastering the Art of Family Mealtime
by Misha Collins Vicki CollinsNATIONAL BESTSELLERTV star Misha Collins and his wife, journalist and historian Vicki Collins, show families how to be mealtime adventurers so that kids might have a lifelong relationship with real foodChicken nuggets. Hot dogs. Macaroni and cheese. These are just some of the greatest hits we offer kids at mealtime. Misha and Vicki Collins totally get it. When their son West was a toddler, he began refusing anything that wasn’t bland and beige. At first, they succumbed, anything to end the mealtime battles. But with sinking hearts they realized fruit snacks and buttered noodles weren’t just void of nutrition, they were setting him up for a lifetime with a limited palate and a reliance on convenience foods. So, as a family, they decided to lean into what they love best—adventure—and invited their kids to be playful and exploratory in the kitchen. Now, in The Adventurous Eaters Club, Misha and Vicki share how they created a home where mealtime doesn’t involve coercion or trickery, and where salad, veggies, fresh soups, and fruit are the main course. Combining personal anecdotes and practical tips with over 100 creative, delicious, whimsical recipes little hands can help prepare The Adventurous Eaters Club offers readers all the support, encouragement, and practical advice they need to make lifelong adventurous eaters out of their kids.

The Age-Defying Diet
by Caroline ApovianTHE AGE-DEFYING DIET provides a revolutionary solution to unwanted weight increase in your 40s and 50s. NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author, Dr Caroline Apovian, has developed a ground-breaking programme that outsmarts the body's ageing processes and enables readers to reverse the metabolic clock. New studies show that ageing changes the nutritional needs for both men and women in drastically different ways. Muscle loss, which naturally comes with age, thwarts efforts to fight fat and slows metabolism. Diets that seemed to work in your 20s and 30s only sabotage your efforts in your 40s and 50s by slowing your metabolism and leading to dangerous yo-yo dieting. Dr Caroline Apovian has the solution to the unwanted weight increase: Metabolism Reboot. Drawing on her clinical experience and the latest science and research, Dr. Apovian has created a simple 3-week plan that reveals exactly how to combat the effects of aging. By combining the powerful metabolism-boosting effects of intermittent fasting with targeted strength-training exercises, readers will lose weight fast, but they will also fix common complaints of ageing, including night sweats for women and low-testosterone for men. THE AGE-DEFYING DIET will help you burn fat, have more energy and look younger.

The Agri-Food System in Question: Innovations, Contestations, and New Global Players (Food and Society)
by John WilkinsonTo mitigate climate, biodiversity, and public health crises, the global agrifood system needs radical change. The Global North remains central to agrifood innovation but new players in the South, especially Brazil and China, will increasingly determine its pace and direction. Investigating climate-controlled agriculture and alternatives to animal proteins, John Wilkinson shows that trade, investment, and innovation in agrifood is reorienting to the South. As the global population becomes increasingly urban, he skilfully illustrates the connections between social movements and technological innovation – and the need for consumer acceptance of new food habits.
The Agricultural Dilemma: How Not to Feed the World (Earthscan Food and Agriculture)
by Glenn Davis StoneThe Agricultural Dilemma questions everything we think we know about the current state of agriculture and how to, or perhaps more importantly how not to, feed a world with a growing population. This book is about the three fundamental forms of agriculture: Malthusian (expansion), industrialization (external-input-dependent), and intensification (labor-based). The best way to understand the three agricultures, and how we tend to get it wrong, is to consider what drives their growth. The book provides a thoughtful, critical analysis that upends entrenched misconceptions such as that we are running out of land for food production and that our only hope is the development of new agricultural technologies. The book contains engaging and enlightening vignettes and short histories, with case studies drawn from across the globe to bring to life this important debate and dilemma. The book concludes by arguing there is a viable alternative to industrial agriculture which will allow us to meet the world's needs and it ponders why such alternatives have been downplayed, obscured, or hidden from view. This important book is essential reading for all studying and researching food production and agriculture, and more broadly for all interested in ensuring we are able to feed our growing population.

The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book
by Alice B. ToklasA beautiful new edition of the classic culinary memoir from the famous American ex-pat with a new introduction by chef & food writer Ruth Reichl.At their home in Paris, Alice B. Toklas and her romantic partner, Gertrude Stein, entertained a circle of friends who would become the twentieth century’s most revered cultural luminaries—writers, artists, and expats, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Thornton Wilder, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. When the legendary Alice was asked to write a memoir, she initially refused. Instead, she wrote The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, a celebration of a lifetime in pursuit of culinary delights.This sharply written, deliciously rich compendium combines recipes for traditional French dishes such as coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and boeuf bourguignon with amusing tales from Alice’s life and travels to rural France, Spain, and America. In “Murder in the Kitchen,” Alice describes the first carp she killed, after which she immediately lit up a cigarette and waited for the police to come and haul her away. “Dishes for Artists” describes her hunt for the perfect recipe to fit Picasso’s peculiar diet. “Recipes from Friends” highlights her infamous “Haschich Fudge,” which she notes may often be accompanied by “ecstatic reveries and extensions of one’s personality on several simultaneous planes.”With delightful line drawings, a foreword by M. F. K. Fisher, and a new introduction by culinary doyenne Ruth Reichl, The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book brilliantly captures the spirit of a unique woman and the remarkable time in which she lived.
