A revolution is underway in the art of cooking. Just as French
Impressionists upended centuries of tradition, Modernist cuisine
has in recent years blown through the boundaries of the culinary
arts. Borrowing techniques from the laboratory, pioneering chefs at
world-renowned restaurants such as elBulli, The Fat Duck, Alinea,
and wd~50 have incorporated a deeper understanding of science and
advances in cooking technology into their culinary art. In
Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, Nathan Myhrvold,
Chris Young, and Maxime Bilet--scientists, inventors, and
accomplished cooks in their own right--have created a six-volume,
2,400-page set that reveals science-inspired techniques for
preparing food that ranges from the otherworldly to the sublime.
The authors and their 20-person team at The Cooking Lab have
achieved astounding new flavors and textures by using tools such as
water baths, homogenizers, centrifuges, and ingredients such as
hydrocolloids, emulsifiers, and enzymes. It is a work destined to
reinvent cooking. How do you make an omelet light and tender on the
outside, but rich and creamy inside? Or French fries with a light
and fluffy interior and a delicate, crisp crust that doesn't go
soggy? Imagine being able to encase a mussel in a gelled sphere of
its own sweet and briny juice. Or to create a silky-smooth
pistachio cream made from nothing more than the nuts themselves.
Modernist Cuisine offers step-by-step, illustrated instructions, as
well as clear explanations of how these techniques work. Through
thousands of original photographs and diagrams, the lavishly
illustrated books make the science and technology of the culinary
arts clear and engaging. Stunning new photographic techniques take
the reader inside the food to see cooking in action all the way
from microscopic meat fibers to an entire Weber grill in
cross-section. You will view cooking and eating in a whole new
light. A sampling of what you'll discover: *Why plunging food in
ice water doesn't stop the cooking process *When boiling cooks
faster than steaming *Why raising the grill doesn't lower the heat
*How low-cost pots and pans can perform better than expensive ones
*Why baking is mostly a drying process *Why deep-fried food tastes
best and browns better when the oil is older *How modern cooking
techniques can achieve ideal results without the perfect timing or
good luck that traditional methods demand. Many invaluable features
include: *Insights into the surprising science behind traditional
food preparation methods such as grilling, smoking, and stir-frying
*The most comprehensive guide yet published on cooking sous vide,
including the best options for water baths, packaging materials,
and sealing equipment; cooking strategies; and troubleshooting tips
*More than 256 pages on meat and seafood and 130 pages on fruits,
vegetables, and grains, including hundreds of parametric recipes
and step-by-step techniques *Extensive chapters explaining how to
achieve amazing results by using modern thickeners, gels,
emulsions, and foams, including example recipes and many formulas
*More than 300 pages of new recipes for plated dishes suitable for
service at top-tier restaurants, plus recipes adapted from master
chefs including Grant Achatz, Ferran Adria , Heston Blumenthal,
David Chang, Wylie Dufresne, David Kinch, and many others. From the
professional chef to the home cook, Modernist Cuisine is an
indispensable guide for anyone who is passionate about the art and
science of cooking.
Baking bread is an ancient craft; kneading the dough to produce a
loaf is a fulfilling experience. But in industrial production, and
even in the modern kitchen, one important ingredient is often left
out of bread making - time. As the experienced bakers from the Real
Bread Campaign will tell you, long and slow is far more satisfying
than a quick finish. A long-proved loaf has more time to develop
flavour, has a better texture and, in the case of genuine
sourdough, might actually have health benefits. Slow Dough: Real
Bread shares with you secrets from the experts on how to make a
huge array of slow-rise breads at home - from basic brown, white
and rye breads, to impressive loaves such as fig and fennel
sourdough or goat's cheese and honey maslin, to a range tea breads,
pizza doughs and classic international breads. You'll learn how to
make different starters for different breads, as well as the
fundamental processes: fermenting, kneading, proving, and baking.
Treating Real Bread with the respect it deserves, there are also
recipes - such as gingery treacle tart, breadcrumb pakoras and
panzanella - for using up any that you may have left over, so you
don't waste a crumb. In a world of mass-production and unnecessary
artificial additives, this book about real craftsmanship is like a
breath of fresh air.

Forget the saying "Work Smarter, Not Harder" because when it comes
to changing your body, you need to: Work Smarter AND Harder This is
something that the author, Chris Young of GetMightyNow.com, knows
all too well. With more than 26 years of training thousands of
clients, from people coping with multiple sclerosis to elite
athletes, Chris knows how to help you achieve the results you
desire. Becoming Mighty boils weight loss, strength training,
logistics and psychology down to the fundamentals. What you get are
systems that will bring you from where you are to where you want to
be. While individualization is discussed for special populations,
most training principles are just those - principles. They apply to
everyone because whether man or woman, tall or short, skinny or
fat, we are all human. We all have much more in common than we
usually bother to ponder or remember - excuses for failure
included. That being said, Chapter 10, "The Psychology of Program
Selection," brings a new twist on how to best train depending on
your psychological type. If you are familiar with the work of Carl
Jung in the early 1900s, one of the colors: blue, green, yellow or
red may have a special meaning to you. If not, it is a model worth
considering. Once you understand your personality type and how it
influences your decisions, Chris gives you practical advice and
strategies for success. Chris has helped thousands achieve the same
goals you are reaching for, and has made this book to outline the
process that will get you there. Sometimes, paying for the
information that will get you from point A to point B is worth the
price. This is one of those times. Whether you are suffering from
information overload, stuck on a plateau, or just having a hard
time keeping the weight off, this book is for you. Don't wait for
success to come to you; it doesn't work that way. The top of the
mountain doesn't come down to you - you must climb to the top of
the mountain. Goals are reached one step at a time, and it is time
for you to take the next step. Someday means never, so don't delay.

The 1972 Munich Olympics - remembered almost exclusively for the
devastating terrorist attack on the Israeli team - were intended to
showcase the New Germany and replace lingering memories of the
Third Reich. That hope was all but obliterated in the early hours
of September 5, when gun-wielding Palestinians murdered 11 members
of the Israeli team. In the first cultural and political history of
the Munich Olympics, Kay Schiller and Christopher Young set these
Games into both the context of 1972 and the history of the modern
Olympiad. Delving into newly available documents, Schiller and
Young chronicle the impact of the Munich Games on West German
society.
As a kind, chatty, and good-humoured man with a zest for life and a
passion for helping people, Chris Young adored his job as a social
worker. But things fell apart when, in 2008, he was diagnosed with
borderline personality disorder. His illness brought about the end
of his calling and he found himself in need of a new project and
purpose. And so it came to be that in 2011 Chris began a campaign
called Walk a Mile In my Shoes. He walks around the edge of the UK
- the edge of society being where many people with mental health
problems feel they are - without spending any money and relying on
the kindness of strangers. In 2015 he joined forces with See Me
Scotland to distil the success of the coastal walk into a series of
events, inviting other people to join him and discuss mental
health. He encouraged them to literally walk a mile in each other's
shoes. Walk a Mile: Tales of a Wandering Loon is the story of how a
normal, nurturing childhood turned into one of neglect and abuse
and how this, combined with a little faulty brain wiring, lead to a
severe and enduring mental illness. It is also the story of one
man's journey towards tackling mental health stigma, one step at a
time. Trigger are proud to announce Theinspirationalseries partner
to their innovative Pullingthetriggerrange. Theinspirationalseries
promotes the idea that mental illness should be talked about freely
and without fear. Find out more at www.triggerpublishing.com
