Sabroso!: The Spanish-American Family Cookbook

Author: Noemi Taylor

ÂЎSabroso! is a compilation of over 200 recipes, menus, and the stories of four lively, Spanish-speaking women who formed new homes and a close friendship far from their native homes of Spain, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia. Food has always been central to the friendship between the four women. From the first get-together, to every picnic, barbecue, birthday, party, holiday, and milestone shared through the years every woman brought a special dish made from a recipe from her native country adjusted with American ingredients. When they first moved to America they each realized how different the food was from their home counties. So they soon began to adjust, swap, debate and refine their recipes. This book is a collection of these recipes and the stories of their friendship and traditions lovingly compiled by the daughter of one of the women.

Soymilk Desserts

Author: Yasuyo Shida

Soymilk is attracting worldwide interest for its dietary benefits and can be found in almost every market. Light and easily digestible, soymilk contains good quality phytoproteins and vitamins and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Although drinking soymilk is quite common it is still difficult for most people to substitute soymilk in everyday recipes, and many of those who can't tolerate cow's milk often go without their favorite foods. Delicious and Healthy Desserts Made with Soymilk makes cooking with soymilk simple and easy without complicated conversions or substitutions.

Delicious and Healthy Desserts Made with Soymilk features 77 sweet recipes from popular chocolate cakes, fruit desserts, and puddings to fiber-rich cookies made with tofu byproducts. Each recipe comes with step-by-step photos and instructions that even a beginner can follow.

Shirley Reis - KLIATT

This is a great book for those who are lactose intolerant. It is filled with over 70 different desserts and beverages that use soy milk rather than cow's milk. Full-color illustrations illustrate each step in the preparation of the recipes. All recipes clearly indicate the level of difficulty along with necessary preparation times. Each recipe has "do ahead tips" that allow some steps to be done out of order, simplifying the preparation. Some of the recipes are: Peanut and Sesame Biscotti, Tofu Cheesecake, Moist Chocolate Cake, Vanilla and Chocolate Churros, Cherry Tart, Mango Mousse, Citrus Smoothie, and Parfait Japanesque. A few of the recipes require specialized ingredients that need to be purchased in a Japanese grocery store. Shida has studied at both L'Ecole Lenotrein in France and at the Richmond Bakery School in Switzerland. Her confections are highly praised by gourmets in Japan. (Quick & Easy). KLIATT Codes: JSA—Recommended for junior and senior high school students, advanced students, and adults. 2004, Kodansha, 92p. illus., Ages 12 to adult.

Blue Grass Cook Book or Bakery Food Manufacture and Quality

Blue Grass Cook Book

Author: Minnie C Fox

This 1904 book is a loving testament to the power of food-inspired memory, while being evocative of the sights, smells, and tastes of Kentucky in the 1900s. Most importantly, the book was groundbreaking, over one hundred years ago, in its celebration of the vital role Black women played in building and sustaining the tradition of Southern cooking and Southern hospitality. It is full of authentically regional Kentucky recipes. While brain croquettes may not be on everyone's menu today, there are few who can resist the 10 variations on corn bread, or the multiplicity of recipes for biscuits, or the wealth of ice cream flavors and desserts.

Its management and control during preparation, processing, baking, cooling and storage is essential for the optimisation of product quality.

The new edition includes a selection of case studies based on practical experience in the manufacture and optimisation of baked products. Each case study, illustrated as appropriate, considers the various roles that water may play in different manufacturing contexts.

The Amateur Gourmet or Great Vegetable Plot

The Amateur Gourmet

Author: Gini Anding

Gini Anding and Amy Page first met in a pastry shop on the main street of the Ile Saint-Louis in Paris. It was a chilly, rainy evening, and both were wearing the same navy blue raincoat and carrying identical black umbrellas. At the counter, they both ordered two slices of quiche Lorraine and four small palmiers. Simultaneously, they burst out laughing. While one is slightly shorter and plumper than the other, both are blondes and also Americans. "We could be taken for sisters!" one of them exclaimed.

From this chance encounter came a magical friendship and The Amateur Gourmet.

Sometimes in the world of fiction, a character takes off and the author loses control. So it is with Gini Anding and Amy Page in the Witness series of romantic mystery novels: Witness on the Quay (2005), Witness at the Bridge (2006), Witness in the Square (2006), and a work in progress, Witness by the Church. Amy is the protagonist in these novels, and she is writing a cookbook, a project that many of her friends thought she'd never finish because of her constant additions and revisions. Even her creator began to despair of having her find the last period. Fortunately, it just so happens that Gini shares Amy's love of cooking and interest in all things culinary. It was only natural that Gini take over and make Amy's cookbook real, proving once and for all that creations of the imagination exist in our concrete everyday reality.

Veggie Revolution: Smart Choices for a Healthy Body and a Healthy Planet

Author: Kneidel

For anyone' choosing a vegetarian diet or even thinking about it, Veggie Revolution provides a comprehensive look at the many reasons people cite for giving up meat. Although one of the most common motives is concern for animals, there are a number of other equally important reasons to become a vegetarian, including improving health, preserving the environment, and working toward a sustainable planet. More and more people interested in social consciousness are making deliberate dietary choices, and vegetarianism, in particular, is the ultimate form of grassroots activism. Once you've decided that the vegetarian lifestyle is for you, Veggie Revolution will make your entree into this new lifestyle even more delicious with numerous recipes that are sure to exceed your greatest expectations.

Publishers Weekly

This account of how one family has explored the connections between food, health, community and the environment may inspire others to look beyond stereotypes to discover the many dimensions of a vegetarian lifestyle. Writer/biologist Sally Kneidel and her college-age daughter, Sara Kate, have compiled more than 100 recipes along with preparation tips, nutritional guidance and advice on how to eat at restaurants and at other people's houses with ease. While much of the health information is now commonly known, the Kneidels' well-reasoned defense of vegetarianism, focusing on humane treatment of animals and the environment, is worth considering. They describe U.S. meat industry policies that affect animals, independent farmers and the environment; and the impact of factory farm practices on health and community relations. Particularly inspiring are Sara Kate's description of how food fosters community and social change in the grassroots village in Mexico where she worked, and the vegetarian co-op she co-formed, and brief interviews with young vegetarians. Best suited for young adults who are vegetarians or considering a vegetarian lifestyle, this work may also prove useful to parents of young vegetarians who want a more complete understanding of vegetarian nutrition and menu options. (Oct. 15) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

VOYA

There are many reasons why people are eating less meat-or none at all. This mother-and-daughter team tackles the topic with open minds and an admirable willingness to see other perspectives. The authors investigate the range of reasons why people choose vegetarianism. In straightforward, non-alarmist terms, they explore Earth's capacity to grow food, the costs-environmental and ethical-of factory farming, and the impact of a meat-heavy diet on people's health. The Kneidels visit factory farms-a relatively recent innovation-and independent farms where animals are raised in a more traditional manner. Likely readers will be predisposed towards vegetarianism, but this book is a well-rounded, although occasionally repetitive guide for those developing their philosophy of food. The grimmer scenes are handled thoughtfully; the authors do not shy away from the realities of factory farming but have compassion for farmers who are more or less trapped into this model of production. The Kneidels conclude that an organic diet including little or no meat is ideal, that obtaining food locally provides the greatest ecological bang for your buck, and that changing consumer habits and demands is the only way to transform current farming practices. Recipes with international scope will appeal to more practiced cooks. The bibliography, suggested reading and Internet resources will inspire those interested in further exploration and activism. Overall it is a thorough and readable introduction to the world of vegetarianism.

Library Journal

There are many reasons to become a vegetarian, and the Kneidels aim to inform readers about vegetarianism's positive impact on personal and planetary health. Unfortunately, they offer repetitive descriptions of their farm visits for research purposes rather than concise examples of farm conditions. In their understandable eagerness to convey the unhealthy nature of factory farm-produced meat, poultry, and eggs, they end up overwhelming the reader with information; most of the cooking data are readily available in other vegetarian cookbooks, e.g., those published by the Moosewood Collective. One valuable conclusion that the Kneidels draw is that eating locally produced foods, including meat and poultry, may have a more significant ecological impact than a traditional vegetarian diet would, owing to the decreased use of fossil fuels to transport food outside of its community of origin. While this is a good introduction to issues surrounding vegetarianism and the politics of meat production and consumption, complete with contemporary examples, other titles have done so more eloquently (Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation) or with better organization (Frances Moore Lapp 's Diet for a Small Planet).

The Hamburger: A History

Author: Josh Ozersky

What do Americans think of when they think of the hamburger? A robust, succulent spheroid of fresh ground beef, the birthright of red-blooded citizens? Or a Styrofoam-shrouded Big Mac, mass-produced to industrial specifications and served by wage slaves to an obese, brainwashed population? Is it cooking or commodity? An icon of freedom or the quintessence of conformity?

 

This fast-paced and entertaining book unfolds the immense significance of the hamburger as an American icon. Josh Ozersky shows how the history of the burger is entwined with American business and culture and, unexpectedly, how the burger’s story is in many ways the story of the country that invented (and reinvented) it.

 

Spanning the years from the nineteenth century with its waves of European immigrants to our own era of globalization, the book recounts how German “hamburg steak” evolved into hamburgers for the rising class of urban factory workers and how the innovations of the White Castle System and the McDonald’s Corporation turned the burger into the Model T of fast food. The hamburger played an important role in America’s transformation into a mobile, suburban culture, and today, America’s favorite sandwich is nothing short of an irrepressible economic and cultural force. How this all happened, and why, is a remarkable story, told here with insight, humor, and gusto.

Courtney Greene - Library Journal

Cultural historian Ozersky (food editor/online, New York magazine) examines the hamburger-the bellwether, and later stalwart, of the fast-food establishment in America-as a cultural signpost for American cultural and social values. He includes meaty research on the personalities (e.g., Ray Kroc, Dave Thomas) and the corporations (e.g., McDonald's, White Castle, Big Boy) that not only perfected the delivery of the assembly-line sandwich to the masses but also profited from their ability to connect to the power of the individuality, ingenuity, and ambition inherent in the American dream, even as the shape of that dream has shifted throughout the 20th century to today-where McDonaldization and gourmet Kobe beef burgers coexist. Compelling reading, this clearly written book will attract a wide range of readers, from those with an academic interest in popular culture, U.S. history, sociology, or company histories to those generally interested in the American sociocultural landscape and the origins of McDonald's. Recommended for academic and public libraries.

Minnesota Ethnic Food Book or Party Ideas for Children

Minnesota Ethnic Food Book

Author: Anne R Kaplan

Whether it is lefse or fry bread, sarma or spring rolls, cannoli or plum pudding, ethnic food shared with family and friends is deeply meaningful. Traditional foods and the customary ways of preparing, serving, and eating them help families maintain ties to their past. This enjoyable book presents a contemporary picture, set in historical perspective, of the traditional foods and foodways of fourteen ethnic groups and includes 150 kitchen-tested recipes.

Publishers Weekly

This effort of two folklorists and a home economist (Hoover) combines a study of the past and present ``foodways'' of 14 ethnic groups in Minnesota with representative recipes. The authors gauge the effects of time, changes in the groups' economic and social status and recent immigration on traditional eating and cooking practices. The fascinating subject is, unfortunately, limited by the book's plodding narrative style. As it stands, the work is serviceable; it preserves much lore about the eating and cooking habits of Minnesota's blacks, Italians, Ojibways, Germans, Hmongs of Laos and other ethnic groups, along with some of their characteristic, easily adaptable recipes. Many offerings are familiar: Jewish challah, Greek baklava, Italian meatballs, German sauerbraten. Chefs who are experienced in ethnic cuisines and have a folklorist bent may find it of interest to see how a Minnesotan of Swedish descent adapts kram pudding, a rural recipe originally made from wild berries and fruits, to an urban environment by substituting frozen-concentrated fruit juices.

Edible Ideologies or World of Culinary Supervision Training and Management

Edible Ideologies: Representing Food and Meaning

Author: Kathleen LeBesco

Edible Ideologies argues that representations of food-in literature and popular fiction, cookbooks and travel guides, war propaganda, women's magazines, television and print advertisements-are not just about nourishment or pleasure. Contributors explore how these various modes of representation, reflecting prevailing attitudes and assumptions about food and food practices, function instead to circulate and transgress dominant cultural ideologies. Addressing questions concerning whose interests are served by a particular food practice or habit and what political ends are fulfilled by the historical changes that lead from one practice to another in Western culture, the essays offer a rich historical narrative that moves from the construction of the nineteenth-century English gentleman to the creation of two of today's iconic figures in food culture, Julia Child and Martha Stewart. Along the way, readers will encounter World War I propaganda, Holocaust and Sephardic cookbooks, the Rosenbergs, German tour guides, fast food advertising, food packaging, and chocolate, and will find food for thought on the meanings of everything from camembert to Velveeta, from salads to burgers, and from tikka masala to Campbell's soup.
