We live in a world of global food. The daily meals of people in
both the developed and developing worlds are being transformed by
the increasing ease with which food is being traded across
continents. Affluent consumers' supermarket trolleys increasingly
are being filled with an array of food products from developing
countries while, at the same time, food exports from the developed
world are supplanting and transforming dietary systems in
developing countries. Some experts suggest that the enhanced
tradability of food ushers in an era of increasing choice and
affluence. Others point to problems of dependency, inequality and
social dislocation accompanying these developments.
While the popularity of craft cocktails and home bartending have helped people create their own drink-driven memories, the possibilities for coffee have remained rather tame. Much more than a guide to beans or brewing, The New Art of Coffee shares how to create inspiring concoctions and flavor profiles from comforting and rejuvenating to celebratory and adventurous. Nearly fifty recipes paired with beautiful photography will inspire and offer something for every taste and time of day hot, iced, carbonated, post-workout, decaffeinated, alcoholic, and deconstructed. Organized by mood, the recipes range in complexity from a quick quaff to a showstopping slow build, allowing readers to match the drink with the moment. Enjoy a Moonwater with breakfast, a Throw Em A Haymaker after a hard workout, or an Amuse as a happy-hour delight. The Don is the ideal after-dinner companion, and there s nothing quite like powering down with a Windmill Cookie Steamer after a long day.

Drawing directly from his experience as an acclaimed climate-change gardener, and of setting up a kitchen garden from scratch for River Cottage, Mark explains the practical aspects of organic growing, introduces us to a whole world of vegetables we may not have previously considered, and does away with alienating gardening jargon once and for all. Mark begins with a catalogue of vegetables that will grow in this country, explaining for each their benefits, what varieties to go for, dos and don'ts, and popular culinary uses. He then invites us to create a wish list of foods, and shows us his own list from his early gardening days. Next, he explains how to turn this wish list into a coherent kitchen garden plan appropriate for our space, whether it be a patch of acidic soil, a roof-top garden or an allotment, whether we put on our wellies in every free moment or are 'time-poor' gardeners. Then he puts all the theory into practice, showing us how to look after nutrients in the soil, how to resist pests and diseases, and how to make our garden sustainable and organic. In clear, concise sections we learn about seed trays, supporting plants with climbing structures, mulching, composting, companion planting, irrigation and promoting pollination, and there are additional tables showing sowing and harvesting times, plant sizes, and alternative varieties of plants for different sites.About thirty recipes and a directory of useful addresses finish the book, and the handbook is complemented by bright colour photography throughout. Practical and inspiring, with a textured hard cover and an introduction by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, "Veg Patch" is destined to join Handbooks No. 1, 2 and 3 as an indispensible household reference.

It is this passion, alongside the simple pleasure of seeing how food, nature, business and community can all thrive in harmony, that is already being brought to vivid life and enjoyed by thousands in Phil's award-winning Better Food shops. And now, through a fascinating mix of inspiring personal stories, tempting recipes, helpful tips and insightful contributions from 12 thought leaders and changemakers, he is sharing his passion with you. Join Phil on this uplifting and thought-provoking journey through a colourful celebration of food and nature.

By addressing the issue of food and eating in Britain today, this book considers the way in which our food habits are changing, and shows how social and personal identities and perceptions of health and risk influence choices. It also looks at the increase of vegetarianism, and the relative ineffectiveness of official eating advice. The book should be useful to students of anthropology, cultural studies and health promotion as well as to those scientists and policymakers who are concerned with food. The introduction seeks to indicate how social scientists can help us understand why people eat what they do. In the following chapters anthropologists and sociologists discuss themes of change and continuities and identity in food and eating in Britain today.
