Best-selling author of Braai the beloved country, Jean Nel is back with his considered and expansive book on getting the best out of your gas braai. The braai veteran has put together a collection of stunning, crowd-pleasing recipes that gradually teach you how to use your shiny new gas braai. "I've been cooking on open fires for a long time. Admittedly I'm a bit of a purist, insisting on making a wood or charcoal fire, but when I moved from cooking socially to catering my braai became a work tool. So I moved to gas.' With a 40% rise in gas braai sales in 2013 alone, it looks like South Africa is moving to gas braais too. They are simple and convenient to use, and they are much cleaner to operate than their smoke-belching cousins. Switch on, set the heat where you want it, and you can cook for hours. The idea for a book called Cooking with gas came from Jean's ongoing research into the art of cooking outdoors. Looking for new and interesting techniques or recipes leads him to the cookbook section of local bookstores more often than he would care to admit. However, he noticed a definite lack of good books on how to use gas braais. The best he was bale to find was a string of titles on gas barbecues. Most of them were either American or Australian titles. The thing is, those foreign devils cook differently from us. What they use their "barbie" for is quite different from what South Africans want to cook when they get together for a braai. In the spirit of Braai the beloved country, he has created a book that shows you how to cook the old favourites and experiment with new techniques. While he tackles some of the myths about cooking on a gas flame, Jean Nel also shows you how to cook anything from a roll of boerewors or a steak, to smoking salmon and slow-cooking the most amazing pulled beef you've ever eaten. Cooking with gas will get you outdoors cooking more than you ever thought you would. In it's pages you will find showstopper recipes for entertaining, as well as a simple, quick chicken breast you can pop on the braai mid-week for dinner. Like Jean, before you know it, all your friends will be asking you for tips and tricks when you are Cooking with gas!

Mark Kurlansky's first global food history since the bestselling Cod and Salt; the fascinating cultural, economic, and culinary story of milk and all things dairy--with recipes throughout. According to the Greek creation myth, we are so much spilt milk; a splatter of the goddess Hera's breast milk became our galaxy, the Milky Way. But while mother's milk may be the essence of nourishment, it is the milk of other mammals that humans have cultivated ever since the domestication of animals more than 10,000 years ago, originally as a source of cheese, yogurt, kefir, and all manner of edible innovations that rendered lactose digestible, and then, when genetic mutation made some of us lactose-tolerant, milk itself. Before the industrial revolution, it was common for families to keep dairy cows and produce their own milk. But during the nineteenth century, mass production and urbanization made milk safety a leading issue of the day, with milk-borne illnesses a common cause of death. Pasteurization slowly became a legislative matter. And today, milk is a test case in the most pressing issues in food politics, from industrial farming and animal rights to GMOs, the locavore movement, and advocates for raw milk, who controversially reject pasteurization. Profoundly intertwined with human civilization, milk has a compelling and a surprisingly global story to tell, and historian Mark Kurlansky is the perfect person to tell it. Tracing the liquid's diverse history from antiquity to the present, he details its curious and crucial role in cultural evolution, religion, nutrition, politics, and economics.

"Part treatise, part miscellany, unfailingly entertaining."
"-The New York Times"
"A small pearl of a book . . . a great tale of the growth of a modern city as seen through the rise and fall of the lowly oyster."
"-Rocky Mountain News"
Award-winning author Mark Kurlansky tells the remarkable story of New York by following the trajectory of one of its most fascinating inhabitants-the oyster.
For centuries New York was famous for this particular shellfish, which until the early 1900s played such a dominant a role in the city's life that the abundant bivalves were Gotham's most celebrated export, a staple food for all classes, and a natural filtration system for the city's congested waterways.
Filled with cultural, historical, and culinary insight-along with historic recipes, maps, drawings, and photos-this dynamic narrative sweeps readers from the seventeenth-century founding of New York to the death of its oyster beds and the rise of America's environmentalist movement, from the oyster cellars of the rough-and-tumble Five Points slums to Manhattan's Gilded Age dining chambers. With "The Big Oyster," Mark Kurlansky serves up history at its most engrossing, entertaining, and delicious.
