"Cooking on the Big Green Egg is an all-round experience... I view
it as an oven that just happens to live in the garden that can do
all the things a conventional oven does, plus much more. There’s
nothing else quite like it." – Tom Kerridge The Big Green Egg has
been a phenomenon in the world of outdoor cooking, with a devoted
following and high-end reputation. This is not just a brilliant
BBQ, this is the most versatile and exciting bit of cooking kit
there is. Not only can you cook on the griddle, oven roast, smoke,
bake, or leave to 'low and slow', but you can treat it like a
konro, mangal, forno, parilla, comal, tandoor or hÄngi and create
a plethora of international dishes of restaurant quality. Master
Fish Tacos for friends and family, rustle up a Chicken Balti for a
cosy night in, present Bistecca Fiorentina for a Tuscan feast, or
serve up a Couscous Royale for a balmy summer evening. And with the
expert guidance of award-winning food writer Tim Hayward, you’ll
be making exceptional dishes all year round. The EGG and this
cookbook will encourage you to never look at cooking the same way
again. The EGG can be the linchpin of a memorable outdoor event,
giving you the confidence to cook beyond your normal repertoire and
create an occasion – whether it’s a special dinner for two or a
celebration for many.

The notion of 'human rights' is perhaps the most weighty and widely
recognized ethical category of our time, while environmental
threats are among the greatest challenges currently facing
civilization. It is unsurprising therefore that questions about and
around the connection between human rights and the environment
abound. Can harms inflicted by the activities of some humans on
others through the medium of the natural environment amount to a
violation of the latter's rights? Do human beings have a right to
an adequate environment? If so, is this 'right' already protected
by existing, well-established rights-such as the right to life, or
to health, for instance? Or do we need to recognize more specific
environmental human rights? Anyway, is the language of human
rights-and are the institutions that purport to guarantee
them-ill-suited to the pursuit of environmental protection? If not,
what can we learn from steps already taken in law and politics to
link the aims of human rights and environmental protection?
Interest in these and other questions has developed at a dizzying
pace over the past two decades. Indeed, serious thinking about
environmental rights is now a vibrant and dynamic area of study and
research, and the sheer scale of the growth in its output makes
this collection especially timely. Moreover, the highest quality
work in the field has emanated from a wide range of different
academic disciplines and perspectives, and has been published in a
variety of largely specialist journals. Drawing on these and other
sources, Tim Hayward has brought together in four volumes canonical
and cutting-edge work to produce an indispensable one-stop 'mini
library'. Human Rights and the Environment is fully indexed and
includes a comprehensive and accessible introduction, newly written
by the editor, which places the collected materials in their
historical and intellectual context. It is an essential reference
collection and is certain to be valued by scholars and students-as
well as by serious policy-makers and practitioners-as a vital
research and pedagogic resource.
Can global justice be promoted by distributing money more
equitably? Could even relatively small financial sacrifices by the
affluent work, through benign leverage, to achieve that goal?
Global Justice and Finance casts new light on such questions by
considering what is presupposed about finance. Redistributive
proposals assume money to be a reliable measure, store of value,
and medium of exchange. Yet maintaining stable interest, inflation,
and exchange rates in a dynamic capitalist economy is a
considerable achievement involving a complex financial system. Such
global coordination could, if so directed, contribute immensely to
humanity's betterment, yet under the direction of a profit seeking
elite it leaves a majority disempowered, impoverished, and
indebted. To pay debts, ever more desperate measures to wrest value
from the world's natural resources increase ecological pressures to
harmful extremes, and those pressures do not stop short of driving
wars. The profit seeking economy is held in place by the complex
legal arrangements that constitute finance. Globally, there has
developed, unannounced and unaccountably, what amounts to a
privatised constitution - binding agreements that transcend
sovereign jurisdictions. Hopes of redirecting the financial assets
created within this system, by means of modest reforms, towards
objectives of social justice and ecological sustainability may
prove illusory. To achieve such objectives arguably requires the
constitution of a global normative order guided by public and
political decision-making. The achievement of a publicly
accountable constitutional order that is superordinate to the
financial system might be regarded as a revolutionary
transformation.
Fortnum & Mason's Awards, shortlisted in 'Food Book' category
(2021) "A beautiful love letter to the very first processed food.
Any book that contains a section on the joys of crisp sandwiches
gets my vote." - Jay Rayner "What an absolutely beautiful book...
Pages of love letters to bread; everything it is, does, and how
very special it is as a part of our food vocabulary. Wonderful
words by Tim make this book perfect bedtime reading for any foodie
but, more importantly, anyone who has ever eaten bread." - Tom
Kerridge "A book by Tim Hayward is eagerly anticipated. When the
subject is his love of bread, its lore and great many uses, his
sound, good sense noting the myriad ways in which bread enhances
daily life makes this book a most inspiring read. He illuminates
each page with his thoughts and love of food in the most endearing
of voices." - Jeremy Lee "A wonderful book and impossible to read
without a smile on your face." - Rob Long A loaf of bread means
different things to different people. It's at once the centrepiece
of the family table, it's the source of the demon gluten, the
reassuring heft of an artisan sourdough, or the fluffy comfort of a
white sandwich loaf - it's the best thing since... well, sliced
bread. This is NOT a book about how to make bread. No kneading, no
rising, no baking. Loaf Story is a food book about bread - not just
the role it plays in people's lives all over the world, but how it
has been adapted and used in so many dishes. It is food of poverty
and yet now we routinely pay big money for an artisanal loaf. Why
does it have such a hold on us? From the British and American white
sliced loaf to the French baguette, Scandinavian rye, and the
uber-trendy Japanese katsu sando, the cultural significance of the
loaf is manifold. With recipes for 60 dishes that can be made on
bread, in bread and with bread, including a look at the myriad uses
for breadcrumbs, croutons, and hollowed-out loaves, as well as the
hallowed doorstep sandwich and a classic BLT, Loaf Story is a
heart-warming celebration of the staff of life.
This book shows why a fundamental right to an adequate environment
ought to be provided in the constitution of any modern democratic
state. The importance of securing provision for environmental
protection at the constitutional level is now widely recognized.
Globally, more than 100 states make some form of provision for
environmental protection in their constitutions. A question more
hotly debated, though, is whether the provision should take the
stringent form of a fundamental right. This book is the first to
examine the question from the perspective of political theory. It
explains why the right to an environment adequate for one's health
and well-being is a genuine human right, and why it ought to be
constitutionalized. It carefully elaborates this case and defends
it in closely argued responses to critical challenges. It thus
shows why there is no insurmountable obstacle to the effective
implementation of this constitutional right, and why
constitutionalizing this right is not democratically illegitimate.
With particular reference to European Union member states, it
explains what this right adds to states' existing human rights and
environmental commitments. It concludes by showing how
constitutional environmental rights can serve to promote the cause
of environmental justice in a global context. The book provides
illustrations from around the world of how human rights and
environmental concerns have been linked to date, and highlights
precedents for the future development of a fundamental right to an
adequate environment. It will be of value to policy-makers,
lawyers, campaigners, and citizens concerned with environmental
protection as a public interest and fundamental right. It will
provide a valuable resource for students and teachers in politics,
philosophy, law, environmental studies, and social sciences more
generally. The book makes an original contribution to normative
political theory by rethinking rights and justice in the light of
contemporary issues and contexts.

Should the fundamental right to an adequate environment be provided
in the constitution of any modern democratic state? Drawing on
precedents from around the world, this book provides the first
politically-focused analysis of this pivotal issue. Hayward
compellingly demonstrates how the right is both necessary and
effective, conducive to democracy, and serves the cause of
international environmental justice.
