The first book-length treatment of Utah's distinctive food
heritage, this volume contains work by more than sixty
Subject-matter experts, including scholars, community members,
event organizers, journalists, bloggers, photographers, and food
producers. It features recipes and photographs of food and
beverages. Utah's food history is traced from preContact Native
American times through the arrival of multinational Mormon
pioneers, miners, farmers, and other immigrants to today's moment
of 'foodie' creativity, craft beers, and 'fast-casual'
restaurant-chain development. Contributors also explore the
historical and cultural background for scores of food-related
tools, techniques, dishes, traditions, festivals, and distinctive
ingredients from the state's religious, regional, and ethnic
communities as well as Utah-based companies. In a state much
influenced by Latter-day Saint history and culture, iconic items
like Jell-O salads, funeral potatoes, fry sauce, and the
distinctive 'Utah scone' have emerged as self-conscious signals of
an ecumenical Utah identity. Scholarly but lively and accessible,
this book will appeal to both the general reader and the academic
folklorist.
Many of us have dog-eared copies of Mastering the Art of French
Cooking in our kitchens or fondly remember watching episodes of The
French Chef, but what was behind the enormous appeal of this
ungainly, unlikely woman, who became a superstar in midlife and
changed our approach to food and cooking forever? In the spirit of
The Gospel According to Coco Chanel and How Georgia Became
O'Keeffe, Julia Child Rules dissects the life of the sunny,
unpretentious chef, author, cooking show star, and bon vivant, with
an eye towards learning how we, too, can savor life. With her
characteristic wit and flair, Karen Karbo takes us for a spin
through Julia's life: from her idyllic childhood in California to
her confusing young adulthood in New York; her years working for
the OSS in Sri Lanka; her world class love affairs with Paris and
Paul Child; and her decades as America's beloved French chef. Karbo
weaves in her own personal experiences and stops for important life
lessons along the way: how to live by your whims, make the world
your oyster, live happily married, work hard, and enjoy a life of
full immersion. It celebrates Julia's indomitable spirit and
irrepressible joy, giving readers a taste of what it means to
master the art of living.
"Open-hearted and buoyant, the book weaves together her hands-on
experiences in Europe and introduces us to a rich cast of people
who make, sell and care about these traditions." -Jenny Linford,
author of The Missing Ingredient In this delightful, full-color
tour of France, England, and Italy, YouTube star Katie Quinn shares
the stories and science behind everyone's fermented
favorites-cheese, wine, and bread-along with classic recipes.
Delicious staples of a great meal, bread, cheese, and wine develop
their complex flavors through a process known as fermentation.
Katie Quinn spent months as an apprentice with some of Europe's
most acclaimed experts to study the art and science of
fermentation. Visiting grain fields, vineyards, and dairies, Katie
brings the stories and science of these foods to the table,
explains the process of each craft, and introduces the people
behind them. What will keep readers glued to the book like a
suspense novel is Katie's personal journey as an expat discovering
herself abroad; Katie's vulnerability will turn readers into fans,
and they'll finish the book feeling like they're her best friends,
trusted with her innermost revelations. In England, Katie becomes a
cheesemonger at Neal's Yard Dairy, London's preeminent cheese
shop-the beginning of a journey that takes her from a goat farm in
rural Somerset to a nationwide search for innovating dairy gurus.
In Italy, Katie offers an inside look at Italian winemaking with
the Comellis at their family-owned vineyard in Northeast Italy and
witnesses the diversity of vintners as she makes her way around
Italy. In France, Katie meets the reigning queen of bread,
Apollonia Poilane of Paris' famed Poilane Bakery, apprentices at
boulangeries in Paris learning the ins and outs of sourdough, and
travels the country to uncover the present and future of French
bread. Part artisanal survey, part travelogue, and part cookbook,
featuring watercolor illustrations and gorgeous photographs,
Cheese, Wine, and Bread is an outstanding gastronomic tour for
foodies, cooks, artisans, and armchair travelers alike.

to introduce simple but life-changing ways for urbanites to adopt a
mindful and sustainable relationship with food.
Tasting Difference examines early modern discourses of racial,
cultural, and religious difference that emerged in the wake of
contact with foreign peoples and foreign foods from across the
globe. Gitanjali Shahani reimagines the contact zone between
Western Europe and the global South in culinary terms, emphasizing
the gut rather than the gaze in colonial encounters. From household
manuals that instructed English housewives how to use newly
imported foodstuffs to "the spiced Indian air" of A Midsummer
Night's Dream, from the repurposing of Othello as an early modern
pitchman for coffee in ballads to the performance of disgust in
travel narratives, Shahani shows how early modern genres negotiated
the allure and danger of foreign tastes. Turning maxims such as "We
are what we eat" on their head, Shahani asks how did we (the
colonized subjects) become what you (the colonizing subjects) eat?
How did we become alternately the object of fear and appetite,
loathing and craving? Shahani takes us back several centuries to
the process by which food came to be inscribed with racial
character and the racial other came to be marked as edible, showing
how the racializing of food began in an era well before chicken
tikka masala and Balti cuisine. Bringing into conversation critical
paradigms in early modern studies, food studies, and postcolonial
studies, she argues that it is in the writing on food and eating
that we see among the earliest configurations of racial difference,
and it is experienced both as a different taste and as a taste of
difference.
In her extraordinary first cookbook, Andrea Gentl brings to her
subject equal parts knowledge and technique, along with a unique
passion and sensibility. From sprinkling adaptogenic powder over
granola to reinventing schnitzel with king trumpets, Cooking with
Mushrooms expands our ideas of how to use mushrooms as both a food
and a flavour, a seasoning and the star of the plate. Here are a
variety of mushroom broths to make you feel better. Breakfast
recipes like Soupy Eggs with Chanterelles. Mushroom Larb or a
Crispy Shiitake "Bacon" Endive Wedge Salad makes the perfect lunch.
Mushroom Ragu or a Roast Chicken with Miso Mushroom Butter can
change the dinner game, and a Maple Mushroom Ice Cream will
transform your ideas about dessert. The dishes might sound familiar
- lasagna, risotto, a bourguignon, brownies - but the ingredients
and flavors are as unexpected as they are delicious. In all,
Cooking with Mushrooms features nearly 100 recipes that unlock the
powerful flavours and health-giving properties of the world's most
magical ingredient.
A History of Cookbooks provides a sweeping literary and historical
overview of the cookbook genre, exploring its development as a part
of food culture beginning in the Late Middle Ages. Studying
cookbooks from various Western cultures and languages, Henry
Notaker traces the transformation of recipes from brief notes with
ingredients into detailed recipes with a specific structure,
grammar, and vocabulary. In addition, he reveals that cookbooks go
far beyond offering recipes: they tell us a great deal about
nutrition, morals, manners, history, and menus while often
providing entertaining reflections and commentaries. This
innovative book demonstrates that cookbooks represent an
interesting and important branch of nonfiction literature.

Winman 'Melissa captures her love of food and its roots
deliciously' - Ainsley Harriott 'A masterful work and a must for
any lover of the food of Jamaica and the Caribbean region or simply
anyone who loves good food' - Dr Jessica B. Harris Motherland is a
cookbook that charts the history of the people, influences and

Dining with Leaders, Rebels, Heroes and Outlaws is a marvelously
funny journey into the gastronomic peccadilloes of the great, the
good, and the not-so-good. Based on the findings of the British
gastro-detective Fiona Ross, the Dining with Destiny series
establishes a new genre: the food biography, with scandals,
recipes, and their stories, allowing you to taste the culinary
secret lives of presidents and prime ministers; dictators and
revolutionaries; heroes and geniuses - and serve them up at your
own dinner table. From Winston Churchill to Malcolm X, Golda Meir
to Albert Einstein, and more, each of these figures took part in
landmark historical and cultural events that have shaped and
defined our way of life - but they also had to eat. Now it is time
to look at their plates to discover what makes them a
revolutionary, a hero, a rogue! Dining with Leaders, Rebels, Heroes
and Outlaws lets you taste what's on Darwin's fork.
'Comfort Food for Breakups' is a beautifully written food memoir
with a queer bent in which the author comes to terms with her
