High Fibre Keto: A 22-Day Science-Based Plan to Fix Your Metabolism, Lose Weight & Balance Your Hormones
by Naomi WhittelHave you tried going keto and found that it has made you feel worse rather than better? Does keto seem to make sense in so many ways yet seem just slightly off in several key ones? What if it's not just you? What if traditional keto diet simply fails to encompass the needs of the female body?Naomi Whittel, the New York Times bestselling author of Glow15, explores how the problem isn't keto, it's fibre. Ninety percent of women are fibre deficient, and when women go the standard keto route, they often lean into animal-based, high-fat, zero-fibre foods, leading to low energy, brain fog and unnecessary weight gain. Whittel explores the prebiotic fibre sources that work within a keto framework to speed up your metabolism, transform your microbiome, balance your hormones and keep you feeling full. Included are a 22-day meal plan, movement plan and delicious, easy-to-make recipes.

Los pilares del bienestar

Teresita Corona, presidenta de la Academia Nacional de Medicina de México «Armando Barriguete ayuda al lector a identificar, entender y revertir los motivos de las crisis en distintas etapas de su vida, determinantes en las conductas que impactan su salud y la de su familia.» Dr. Carlos A. Aguilar Salinas, Premio Nacional de Ciencias 2018 por sus aportaciones en la investigación de enfermedades metabólicas «Una obra sencilla y profunda, destinada a convertirse en un clásico.

Cake: A Slice of History
by Alysa LeveneCake can evoke thoughts of home, comfort someone at a time of grief or celebrate a birth or new love. It is a maker of memories, a marker of identities, and delicious! It was the year 878 A.D., and a man claims sanctuary in a small village home in Wessex. To the surprise of the villager, the man is not a passing vagabond but Alfred, King of the Anglo-Saxons. The village homemaker is happy to hide him from the marauding Danes, provided he keeps an eye on the cake she has baking in the oven. Preoccupied with how to re-take his kingdom, Alfred lets the cakes burn, and the incident passed in to folklore forever. From these seemingly ignoble beginnings, not only was Alfred able to reclaim his spot in history, but the humble villagers' cake has ascended in world culture as well. Alysa Levene looks at cakes both ancient and modern, from the Fruit Cake, to the Pound Cake, from the ubiquitous birthday cake to the Angel Food Cake, all the way up to competitive baking shows on television and our modern obsession with macaroons and cup cakes. Along the way, author Alysa Levene shows how cakes are so much more than just a delicious sugar hit, and reflects on how and why cakes became the food to eat in times of celebration. Cake reflects cultural differences, whether it is the changing role of women in the home, the expansion of global trade, even advances in technology. Entertaining and delightfully informative, Cake: A Slice of History promises to be a witty and joyous celebration of our cultural heritage.

Diet Cults: The Surprising Fallacy at the Core of Nutrition Fads and a Guide to Healthy Eating for the Rest of US
by Matt FitzgeraldFrom the national bestselling author of Racing Weight, Matt Fitzgerald exposes the irrationality, half-truths, and downright impossibility of a "single right way" to eat, and reveals how to develop rational, healthy eating habits. From "The Four Hour Body," to "Atkins," there are diet cults to match seemingly any mood and personality type. Everywhere we turn, someone is preaching the "One True Way" to eat for maximum health. Paleo Diet advocates tell us that all foods less than 12,000 years old are the enemy. Low-carb gurus demonize carbs, then there are the low-fat prophets. But they agree on one thing: there is only one true way to eat for maximum health. The first clue that that is a fallacy is the sheer variety of diets advocated. Indeed, while all of these competing views claim to be backed by "science," a good look at actual nutritional science itself suggests that it is impossible to identify a single best way to eat. Fitzgerald advocates an agnostic, rational approach to eating habits, based on one's own habits, lifestyle, and genetics/body type. Many professional athletes already practice this "Good Enough" diet, and now we can too and ditch the brainwashing of these diet cults for good.
A Blissful Feast: Culintary Adventures In Italy's Piedmont, Maremma, And Le Marche
by Teresa LustA delicious journey through Italy and a celebration of the relationship between family and food. Moving from the Italian Piedmont to the Maremma and then to Le Marche, chef Teresa Lust interweaves portraits of the people who served as her culinary guides with cultural and natural history in this charming exploration of authentic Italian cuisine. We learn how to prepare bagna cauda—a robust dipping sauce of anchovies, garlic, and olive oil—with Lust’s relatives outside Torino. We learn about making hand-stretched grissini, Italy’s iconic breadstick, the secrets of whipping up zabaione, a classic dessert of ethereal foam made with egg yolks, sugar, and marsala. Then there is acquacotta, a rustic soup that nourished generations of the area’s shepherds and cowhands. In the town of Camerano, an eighty-year-old woman reveals the art of hand-rolling pasta with a three-foot rolling pin. Underpinning Lust’s travels is our journey from chef to cook, mirroring the fact that Italians have been masters of home cooking for generations, so they are an obvious source of inspiration. Today, more and more people are rediscovering the pleasures of cooking at home, and Lust’s account—and wonderful recipes—will help readers bring an Italian sensibility to their home tables.
Project Animal Farm: An Accidental Journey into the Secret World of Farming and the Truth About Our Food
by Sonia FaruqiBorn out of a global expedition fearlessly undertaken by a young woman, Project Animal Farm offers a riveting and revealing look at what truly happens behind farm doors. Sonia Faruqi, an Ivy League graduate and investment banker, had no idea that the night she arrived at the doorstep of a dairy farm would mark the beginning of a journey that would ultimately wind all the way around the world. Instead of turning away from the animal cruelty she came to witness, Sonia made the most courageous decision of her life: a commitment to change things. Driven by impulsive will and searing passion, Sonia left behind everything she knew and loved to search the planet for solutions to benefit animals, human health, and the environment. Over the course of living with farmers, hitchhiking with strangers, and risking her life, she developed surprising insights and solutions--both about the food industry and herself. Lively and heartfelt, Sonia takes readers on an unforgettable adventure from top-secret egg warehouses in Canada to dairy feedlots in the United States, from farm offices in Mexico to lush pastures in Belize, from flocks of village chickens in Indonesia to factory farms in Malaysia. Revelatory in scope, Project Animal Farm illuminates a hidden world that plays a part in all of our lives.
The Mindful Carnivore: A Vegetarian's Hunt for Sustenance
by Tovar CerulliA vegan-turned-hunter reignites the connection between humans and our food sources and continues the dialog begun by Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver. While still in high school, Tovar Cerulli experimented with vegetarianism and by the age of twenty, he was a vegan. Ten years later, in the face of declining health, he would find himself picking up a rifle and heading into the woods. Through his personal quest, Tovar Cerulli bridges disparate worldviews and questions moral certainties, challenging both the behavior of many hunters and the illusion of blamelessness maintained by many vegetarians. In this time of intensifying concern over ecological degradation, how do we make peace with the fact that, even in growing organic vegetables, life is sustained by death? Drawing on personal anecdotes, philosophy, history and religion, Cerulli shows how America's overly sanitized habits of consumption and disconnection with our food have resulted in so many of the health and environmental crises we now face.

Tastes Like Chicken: A History of America's Favorite Bird
by Emelyn RudeFrom the domestication of the bird nearly ten thousand years ago to its current status as our go-to meat, the history of this seemingly commonplace bird is anything but ordinary. How did chicken achieve the culinary ubiquity it enjoys today? It’s hard to imagine, but there was a point in history, not terribly long ago, that individual people each consumed less than ten pounds of chicken per year. Today, those numbers are strikingly different: we consumer nearly twenty-five times as much chicken as our great-grandparents did. Collectively, Americans devour 73.1 million pounds of chicken in a day, close to 8.6 billion birds per year. How did chicken rise from near-invisibility to being in seemingly "every pot," as per Herbert Hoover's famous promise? Emelyn Rude explores this fascinating phenomenon in Tastes Like Chicken. With meticulous research, Rude details the ascendancy of chicken from its humble origins to its centrality on grocery store shelves and in restaurants and kitchens. Along the way, she reveals startling key points in its history, such as the moment it was first stuffed and roasted by the Romans, how the ancients’ obsession with cockfighting helped the animal reach Western Europe, and how slavery contributed to the ubiquity of fried chicken today. In the spirit of Mark Kurlansky’s Cod and Bee Wilson's Consider the Fork, Tastes Like Chicken is a fascinating, clever, and surprising discourse on one of America’s favorite foods.

A tasty compendium of spices and a fascinating history and wide array of uses of the world's favorite flavors--The Book of Spice: From Anise to Zedoary reveals the amazing history of spices both familiar and esoteric. John O'Connell's erudite chapters combine history with insights into art, religion, medicine, science, and is richly seasoned with anecdotes and recipes.

Con la cocina no se juega
by David De JorgeEl ideario del chef de moda Galardonado por los prestigiosos Gourmand World Cookbooks Awards 2011: Premio Best Book in the World David de Jorge define su trabajo como «pura exaltación de la gula y el jovial disparate» que reivindica «la buena comida sin fantochadas y con buenos ingredientes: el milagro más seguro. Una gastronomía con sentido común que desenmascarará a los egochefs más horteras». A partir de esta declaración de intenciones, el objetivo de este libro es componer un excepcional menú de infinitos platos que pueden combinarse con libertad absoluta: breves piezas que nos hablan sin solemnidad de vinos, aceites, mercados, platos, cocineros, restaurantes y comilonas, elaboradas con un lenguaje coloquial y desenfadado, irreverente en ocasiones y siempre inteligente. Una invitación al disfrute de los placeres cotidianos: amistad, amor o literatura, celebrados alrededor de una mesa y con la comida como eje de una experiencia múltiple, completa y, sobre todo, divertida. Reseña:«Con simpatía, franqueza y sin engolamientos ni jergas displicentes, David de Jorge prueba, sazona, corta, pregunta, felicita, sopla, descubre, sirve, recomienda, aliña, sonríe, recuerda y blasfema. La reacción es inmediata: empiezas a salivar y sueñas con atunes gigantes bailando sobre un mar de jugos gástricos, ajos y cebollinos.»Sergi Pàmies «En Gran Bretaña y Estados Unidos arrasan Nigella Lawson y Giada de Laurentiis. The Daily Mail escribía que en el programa de Lawson hay escenas de glotonería como no se veían desde el monstruo de las galletas... Una es chef y la otra no, pero ambas dan a sus indicaciones un toque de sensualidad, de gusto por la comida (y no por la tontería) que aquí se echa en falta y cuyo único equivalente peninsular sería David de Jorge, que nos da una lección de lo bueno que es comer sin bobadas tecnoescalofriantes.»Quim Monzó «Abofetea a la crítica como nunca hasta ahora se había hecho. Sus textos son magníficos porque tocan las claves de este mundo; son sic, es decir, sensibles, inteligentes, cultos, y apelan a las tres variables fundamentales del ser humano: el sexo, el estómago y el cerebro.»Arturo Pardos, Duque de Gastronia
