The discovery of vitamins changed our world dramatically.
Terrifying diseases such as scurvy, which had claimed the lives of
millions, became preventable and curable. But before long word of
these 'miracles' had spread from the laboratory and into the hands
of food marketers. Decades of over-hyped advertising later and
we've accepted as fact the idea that dietary chemicals can be used
as shortcuts to improving our health. Award-winning journalist
Catherine Price goes in search of the truth about vitamins, taking
us to vitamin manufacturers, food laboratories and military testing
kitchens. In this page-turning investigation of the history,
science and future of nutrition, she reveals just how much we still
don't know about vitamins - the way they work in our bodies and the
amounts we really need. Engaging, witty and personal, The Vitamin
Complex proposes an alternative to our obsessive vitamin-driven
approach to nutrition - given our lack of knowledge, the best way
to decide what to eat is to stop obsessing and simply embrace this
uncertainty head-on.

Some people think that a cookbook is just a collection of recipes for dishes that feed the body. In Eat My Words: Reading Women's Lives through the Cookbooks They Wrote, Janet Theophano shows that cookbooks provide food for the mind and the soul as well. Looking beyond the ingredients and instructions, she shows how women have used cookbooks to assert their individuality, develop their minds, and structure their lives. Beginning in the seventeenth century and moving up through the present day, Theophano reads between the lines of recipes for dandelion wine, "Queen of Puddings," and half-pound cake to capture the stories and voices of these remarkable women.The selection of books looked at is enticing and wide-ranging. Theophano begins with seventeenth-century English estate housekeeping books that served as both cookbooks and reading primers so that women could educate themselves during long hours in the kitchen. She looks at A Date with a Dish, a classic African American cookbook that reveals the roots of many traditional American dishes, and she brings to life a 1950s cookbook written specifically for Americans by a Chinese émigré and transcribed into English by her daughter. Finally, Theophano looks at the contemporary cookbooks of Lynne Rosetto Kaspar, Madeleine Kamman, and Alice Waters to illustrate the sophistication and political activism present in modern cookbook writing. Janet Theophano harvests the rich history of cookbook writing to show how much more can be learned from a recipe than how to make a casserole, roast a chicken, or bake a cake. We discover that women's writings about food reveal--and revel in--the details of their lives, families, and the cultures they help to shape.
Laurie Colwin once said: "People who like to cook like to talk
about food. Without one cook giving another cook a tip or two,
human life might have died out a long time ago." Too little
attention is given over to these silent players responsible for
influencing the recipes we enjoy the most and getting them on the
table. This compilation finally addresses that injustice in an
amusing and compelling 'who's who', which will appeal to all those
foodies that like to know from where (or rather whom) their food is
coming.
Perhaps the first celebrity chef, Alexis Soyer (1810-58) was a
flamboyant, larger-than-life character who nonetheless took his
profession very seriously. As the chef of the Reform Club, he
modernised its kitchens, installing refrigerators and gas cookers.
In 1851, during the Great Exhibition, he prepared spectacular (but
financially ruinous) culinary extravaganzas at his restaurant, the
Gastronomic Symposium of All Nations. In stark contrast, he
organised soup kitchens during the Great Famine in Ireland and
volunteered his services in the Crimea in 1855 to improve military
catering. He was also a prolific inventor of kitchen gadgets,
notably promoting the Magic Stove, used for cooking food at the
table. First published in 1938, this biography by Helen Soutar
Morris (1909-95) is based on Francois Volant and James Warren's
anecdotal account of 1859 (also reissued in this series), and it
faithfully conveys the adulation that Soyer engendered in his
lifetime.

What could be better than standing on top of a mountain, snow
sparkling, the slopes calling? Not much, except perhaps skiing down
to a warm, home-cooked meal that comes together effortlessly.
"The Ski House Cookbook" makes it all possible with 125 recipes
that will keep you on the slopes or winding down with friends
afterward, not stuck at the stove. Here are easy and delicious
meals designed with minimum prep times for often limited
home-away-from-home kitchens, from quick-cooking roasts, sautes,
and other fast meals to slow-cooker dishes and recipes that can be
made in advance and frozen. And, to get you in the right frame of
mind, each recipe is coded with a difficulty rating that
corresponds to the familiar green dots, blue squares, and black
diamonds of the slopes.
Start the day with 'Twas the Night Before French Toast (assembled
in advance and baked in the morning) to keep you going until
lunchtime, when a Colorado Cubano (made in a flash from readily
available deli meats) will refuel you for the afternoon. An entire
chapter of apres-ski snacks, including Green Mountain Fondue and
Spicy Roasted Chickpeas, helps tide you over until dinner, which
includes tempting options such as Roasted Pork Loin with Cherry
Balsamic Pan Sauce, Mogul Beef Chili, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
with Bacon. Hearty soups and pastas and indulgent desserts round
out this collection of recipes that will warm you up from the
inside out.
In addition to the irresistible recipes, "The Ski House Cookbook"
offers practical information on cooking at high altitudes, a
section on getting the most out of your slow cooker, and 50
beautiful full-color photographs of the great dishes and snowy
landscapes that skiers love. So whether you're hitting the slopes
or just dreaming of days in the lodge, a double diamond pro or
struggling down the bunny hill for the first time, here is your
go-to guide to making easy, satisfying, and comforting winter
meals.
