The microwave oven is the most important technical innovation in
the kitchen of the twentieth century. Most other technical
developments had been pioneered in the Victorian age or before,
even if their consequences were not fully absorbed until the modern
era. The microwave, however, was wholly new, a chance spin-off of
the development of radar in the Second World War - the first ovens
were called 'Radaranges'. The first commercial applications and
patents were based in the U.S.A. but there were parallel
developments in Britain and Europe, the most important of which
centred on the firms of J. Lyons & Co., and the Dutch firm of
Philips. Lewis Napleton, a fresh-faced boy just out of the RAF,
joined the food manufacturing and tea-shop-owning firm of J. Lyons
in the early '50s. He was soon closely involved in microwave
projects during his pupillage there. He went on to devote the rest
of his professional life to the promotion and sale of microwave
ovens by Lyons, Philips, and the American firm of Litton. This book
is a memoir of his part in this pioneering episode. When the
history of modern food and cookery comes to be written, it will be
an important primary source for tracing the patterns of promotion
and up-take of this device - particularly the way in which it was
first linked to commercial foodservice exploitation before its
entry into the domestic market. The microwave is now the
biggest-selling item in domestic white goods. This little book has
many amusing anecdotes, including an early sighting of Baroness
Thatcher when a colleague at Lyons, and is plentifully illustrated
with contemporary photographs of microwaves in their period
setting.

A groundbreaking new approach to grilling vegetables and fruit from
the author of Seven Fires and Mallmann on Fire Green Fire is an
extraordinary vegetarian cookbook, as Mallmann brings his
techniques, creativity, instinct for bold flavors, and decades of
experience to the idea of cooking vegetables and fruits over live
fire. Blistered tomatoes reinvigorate a classic Caprese salad.
Eggplants are buried whole in the coals--a technique called
rescoldo--then dance that fine line between burned and incinerated
until they yield an ineffable creaminess made irresistible with a
slather of parsley, chile, and aioli. Brussels sprout leaves are
scorched and served with walnuts; whole cabbages are sliced thick,
grilled like steaks, and rubbed with spice for a mustard-fennel
crust. Corn, fennel, artichokes, beets, squash, even beans--this is
the vegetable kingdom, on fire. The celebrated Patagonian chef,
known for his mastery of flame and meat, the chef who romanced the
food world with an iconic image of a whole cow dressed and splayed
out over licking flames, is returning to the place where his
storied career began--the garden and all its bounty. It's his new
truth: the transformation wrought by flame, coals, and smoke on a
carrot or peach is nothing short of alchemy. And just as he's
discovered that a smoky, crackling-crusted potato cooked on the
plancha is as sublime as the rib-eye he used to serve it next to,
Mallmann's also inspired by another truth: we all need to cut down
on consuming animals to ensure a healthier future for both people
and the planet. Time to turn the fire "green." The fruit desserts
alone confirm live fire's ability to transform and elevate any
ingredient. Mallmann roasts whole pineapples, grills grapes, chars
cherries, and then finds just the right unexpected match--melted
cheese, toasted hazelnuts, Campari granita--to turn each into a
simple yet utterly entrancing dish. Cooking with fire demands both
simplicity and perfection. But the results are pure magic. By using
this oldest of cooking techniques, you'll discover fruits and
vegetables pushed to such a peak of flavor it's as if they'd never
been truly tasted before.
Prospect Books' best seller is this handy instruction manual for
the ultra-keen breadmaker and DIY enthusiast showing how to build a
substantial bread oven in the yard or garden. Together with
detailed plans (which do not omit a single block or brick) and a
step-by-step specification, the book doubles up as an essay on
English bread baking in previous centuries, with special reference
to the hardware, equipment and working methods. There is plenty
here to interest the reader who is not necessarily going to embark
on the building project. The book was first published in 1997 and
has had an annual printing since then. It sells at much in America
as it does in Britain, although British sales have definitely
increased in the last few years. There are other books on the
subject, but few give as much historical context. The history of
bread is something which is almost entirely ignored in current
literature, greatly to its disadvantage. The book closes with a
couple of recipes. It was never meant as a cookbook; there are
plenty of alternatives, including the same author's Baking Bread at
Home (Phoenix). But the enthusiasm for good bread, and for baking
it yourself, is still growing and is well served here.
This title contains 70 recipes for incredible stone-baked pizzas
and breads, roasts, cakes and desserts, all specially devised for
the outdoor oven and illustrated in over 400 photographs. It offers
everything you need to know about cooking in a wood-fired oven,
from lighting a fire to inspirational recipes. It includes menu
suggestions and timing guides for making the most of your fired-up
oven, and using the falling temperatures for slow-cook casseroles,
and bakes.
Today, a bread machine can make baking easier than ever before.
Discover the different features of your machine and find out about
ingredients. Learn how to adapt much-loved recipes for a bread
machine, and how to incorporate traditional bread-making techniques
to make more unusual breads. With 370 photographs, including
step-by-step techniques, this is the essential guide to
bread-machine baking.

Boy, do we love our s'mores. Americans buy an estimated 90 million
pounds of marshmallows a year, and more than half are toasted and
sandwiched with a chocolate bar between two graham crackers. Which
inspired Dan Whalen to ask: What would happen if you kept the
s'mores architecture - three layers of gooey, melty, and crunchy -
but changed it up? The result: Salted Caramel S'mores, Lemon
Meringue S'mores, Kettle Corn S'mores, not to mention the Elvis - a
bacon, banana, and peanut butter s'more. In 50 playful recipes,
photographed in full colour and packaged in a puffy square format
reminiscent of the original formation, S'mores! completely
redefines what a s'more is - and where it can be made - by
designing all recipes to be made in a standard oven (adapted for an
outdoor fire). Dan Whalen, who in his last book tackled another
singular passion, Tots!, redefines both the filling of the s'more -
ice cream, sweet potatoes, cereal, Peeps, Sriracha, figs, avocado,
even a scallop (which bears some resemblance to a marshmallow) -
and the "cracker" - using phyllo dough, pie crust, potato chips,
and cannoli sheets. From the deliciously simple Nutella S'mores to
the sophisticated Grilled Peach Basil S'mores, this book
emphatically and mouthwateringly puts the more! in s'mores.
