The Vegetable Sushi Cookbook is the brainchild of Izumi Shoji, a
hugely popular blogger and widely published home cook in Japan, who
shares her expertise in taking a wide variety of vegetables and
turning them into delicious and healthy sushi meals. Each recipe
has been chosen for its healthy ingredients and delightful taste,
and is easy to make with basic cooking skills and no special tools.
(Alternatives are included for any ingredients that might be
difficult to find in some areas.) Vegetable Sushi is a unique and
flavourful way to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
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.
For chef Matt Wilkinson, vegetables come first. Whether he's
cooking in the kitchen of his Melbourne eatery Pope Joan or for his
young family at home, Matt plans and builds his dishes around the
vegetables in season, when they'll taste the best, be cheapest and
most readily available. Today too many of us - chefs and home cooks
alike - plan our meals around the meat (or protein) and
carbohydrate components letting the vegetables play second fiddle.
In this book Matt Wilkinson lets his favourite 24 vegetables take
centre stage. This beautifully illustrated book will appeal to
vegetarians but it's not a vegetarian cookbook. Among the more than
90 recipes are plenty of dishes incorporating meat but Mr
Wilkinson's favourite vegetables are the true stars.
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.
A powerhouse collection of soups and meal pots that deliver 5
portions of fruit and veg (sometimes more!) that are also low in
calories, sugars, carbohydrates and salt, plus are dairy and gluten
free. The first section explains what 5-a-day really means and
includes a guide to what counts and what doesn't, as well as which
fruits and veg give you a large dose of sugar. Armed with this
better understanding of how to achieve your 5-a-day, you can then
aim for even more. The recipes range from soups such as Pea &
Watercress (which also includes onion, apple, spinach and garlic)
and Tomato & Aubergine (which also includes onion, peppers,
carrot and basil) to Spiced Pineapple & Tomato Stew (which also
includes sweet potato, peppers, onion and garlic). Each one makes
enough for one person but can easily be adapted for larger
servings. They have all been fully analysed by a qualified
nutritionist so that the reader can see immediately the benefits of
what they're eating. The authors also show the reader how to create
their own 5-a-day soups and meal pots that range from cleansing to
therapeutic and everything in between.
The Cod. Wars have been fought over it, revolutions have been triggered by it, national diets have been based on it, economies and livelihoods have depended on it. To the millions it has sustained, it has been a treasure more precious that gold. This book spans 1,000 years and four continents. From the Vikings to Clarence Birdseye, MarkKurlansky introduces the explorers, merchants, writers, chefs and fisherman, whose lives habe been interwoven with this prolific fish. He chronicles the cod wars of the 16th and 20th centuries. He blends in recipes and lore from the Middle Ages to the present. In a story that brings world history and human passions into captivating focus, he shows how the most profitable fish in history is today faced with extinction.
