From the writers of acclaimed blog Pen & Palate, a humorous
coming-of-age (and mastering-the-art-of-home-cooking) memoir of
friendship, told through stories, recipes, and beautiful
illustrations. Getting through life in your twenties isn't
easy--especially if you're broke, awkward, and prone to starting
small grease fires in your studio apartment. For best friends Lucy
Madison and Tram Nguyen, cooking was an escape from the daily
humiliation that is being a twenty-something woman in a big city.
PEN & PALATE traces the course of Lucy and Tram's devoted
friendship through miserable jobs and tiny apartments, first loves
and ill-advised flings, successes and setbacks--always with a
shared love of food at the center of the narrative. A modern take
on Laurie Colwin's classic Home Cooking, this coming-of-age memoir
for the Girls set weaves together comical (mis)adventures and
recipes meant to be shared with a best friend and bottle of wine.
This unique and easy-to-use layman's reference takes the mystery
out of the bewildering array of health and labeling information
that faces us every time we go to a grocery or health food store.
Using this simple guide to the most important food elements and
additives, readers can find out everything the average person needs
to know to make healthy choices in eating and diet supplementation.
Eileen Renders has pulled together a practical reference that
boils down essential information from research studies, her own
ongoing work in the field, and standard dietary and chemical
references. Each topic is covered in a separate alphabetized
chapter. In one chapter the author lists and describes all the
additives that you will commonly see on labels or that may be used
without labeling -- including additives used to preserve,
condition, or "beautify", those that are proved or suspected to be
harmful, as well as those that are benign or even beneficial. She
devotes a chapter to processed foods that have been largely
stripped of nutritional value and suggests tasty, nutritious
substitutes. Several chapters provide information on nutrients --
their functions, typical deficiencies, and generally accepted
therapeutic qualities. Chapters on amino acids, vitamins and
minerals with trace minerals), oils and essential fatty acids,
enzymes, and antioxidents are included. Food sources of these
various nutrients are considered in a separate chapter, as are
dietary supplements. Offering quick authoritative answers in plain
language and an easy-to-use format, Renders' book is he only
up-to-date reference that covers all these important topics under
one cover. It will simplify life for anyone concernedwith planning
tasty nutritious meals and insuring a healthy diet.

This book explores food from a philosophical perspective, bringing
together sixteen leading philosophers to consider the most basic
questions about food: What is it exactly? What should we eat? How
do we know it is safe? How should food be distributed? What is good
food? David M. Kaplan's erudite and informative introduction
grounds the discussion, showing how philosophers since Plato have
taken up questions about food, diet, agriculture, and animals.
However, until recently, few have considered food a standard
subject for serious philosophical debate. Each of the essays in
this book brings in-depth analysis to many contemporary debates in
food studies - Slow Food, sustainability, food safety, and politics
- and addresses such issues as "happy meat", aquaculture, veganism,
and table manners. The result is an extraordinary resource that
guides readers to think more clearly and responsibly about what we
consume and how we provide for ourselves, and illuminates the
reasons why we act as we do.
In 2013, a Dutch scientist unveiled the world's first
laboratory-created hamburger. Since then, the idea of producing
meat, not from live animals but from carefully cultured tissues,
has spread like wildfire through the media. Meanwhile, cultured
meat researchers race against population growth and climate change
in an effort to make sustainable protein. Meat Planet explores the
quest to generate meat in the lab-a substance sometimes called
"cultured meat"-and asks what it means to imagine that this is the
future of food. Neither an advocate nor a critic of cultured meat,
Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft spent five years researching the phenomenon.
In Meat Planet, he reveals how debates about lab-grown meat reach
beyond debates about food, examining the links between appetite,
growth, and capitalism. Could satiating the growing appetite for
meat actually lead to our undoing? Are we simply using one
technology to undo the damage caused by another? Like all problems
in our food system, the meat problem is not merely a problem of
production. It is intrinsically social and political, and it
demands that we examine questions of justice and desirable modes of
living in a shared and finite world. Benjamin Wurgaft tells a story
that could utterly transform the way we think of animals, the way
we relate to farmland, the way we use water, and the way we think
about population and our fragile ecosystem's capacity to sustain
life. He argues that even if cultured meat does not "succeed," it
functions-much like science fiction-as a crucial mirror that we can
hold up to our contemporary fleshy dysfunctions.
