Physician and popular New York Times contributor Aaron Carroll
mines the latest evidence to show that many "bad" ingredients
actually aren't unhealthy, and in some cases are essential to our
well-being. Advice about food can be confusing. There's usually
only one thing experts can agree on: some ingredients--often the
most enjoyable ones--are bad for you, full stop. But as Aaron
Carroll explains, if we stop consuming some of our most demonized
foods, it may actually hurt us. Examining troves of studies on
dietary health, Carroll separates hard truths from hype, showing
that you can Eat red meat several times a week. Its effects are
negligible for most people, and actually positive if you're 65 or
older. Have a drink or two a day. In moderation, alcohol may
protect you against cardiovascular disease without much risk. Enjoy
a gluten-loaded bagel from time to time. It has less fat and sugar,
fewer calories, and more fiber than a gluten-free one. Eat more
salt. If your blood pressure is normal, you may be getting too
little sodium, not too much. Full of counterintuitive, deeply
researched lessons about food we hate to love, The Bad Food Bible
is for anyone who wants to forge eating habits that are sensible,
sustainable, and occasionally indulgent.
Multiple-Michelin-starred Daniel Galmiche presents a fresh approach
to French cooking. Taking inspiration and ingredients from meadow
and orchard, from field to forest, and from river to sea, each
recipe elevates authentic French rural classics to sophisticated
dishes, full of flavour and easy to create at home. French cooking
centres around one maxim: start with quality ingredients, and the
resulting flavour and freshness of the dish will shine. Daniel
shows how to showcase the humblest of ingredients, with tips on how
to source them sustainably and seasonally. Starters, mains, sides
and desserts are organised by the origin of their key ingredient.
From the meadow, gather flowers for a dandelion, wild thyme and
lemon cake. From the farmyard, make use of a chicken carcass to
create a beautifully clear and nourishing broth. Or from the sea,
create fragrant lemongrass-skewered prawns with sauce vierge. With
short ingredients lists and straightforward guidance on how to
perfect chef-level techniques such as dehydrating and sous-vide
without the fancy equipment, this book will allow you to master
innovative French cuisine - and reduce food waste - with
simplicity. This is a new and updated edition of the classic
Revolutionary French Cookbook, with a timely emphasis on
sustainability and responsibly-sourced ingredients. This book was
inspired by Daniel's return to the countryside during the pandemic.
With each long country walk, his background in rural France
returned to him and everything began to make sense. He felt a need
to return to these recipes, and a need to revive them alongside new
recipes created during that quiet time.
