Ideal Weight with a Stoic Will
by Claudio Pardo MolinaThese steps are based on my thesis that Chile and practically all of America have high rates of obesity because our actions tend to be dominated by external stimuli rather than by our own decisions, which can be dominated by the Stoic philosophy described by Epictetus. In his 'Inquiry', translated from the Greek that would come to mean a small manual. This philosopher had as his motto 'Absent of passions, affections and opinions'. I think this slogan already gives us an idea of the recommendations that I will write in this book and I will only outline them to tempt the reader. * Absent of passions: Generally, we are hungry because the pleasure that food gives us calms our sorrows, encourages us or even takes away our anxiety. This book shows us that passions are conditioned by external stimuli, but first, we must understand what we want so from that point we can discover what we are passionate about. * Absent of affection: We want to eat because we feel so stimulated with a bar of chocolate that nowadays it is believed that it would generate almost the same pleasure as an orgasm. In this book, you will discover that you will be free from hunger when you free yourself from attachment to the people and things around you by lowering your expectations of them. * Absent of opinions: We want to eat because we feel attacked by people who we believed were our friends who finally betrayed us. But this book will show that the idea of loyalty is just an opinion we made of the other person, an expectation which does not mean it is true.
Ideas in Food: Great Recipes and Why They Work: A Cookbook
by Aki Kamozawa Alexander H. TalbotAlex Talbot and Aki Kamozawa, husband-and-wife chefs and the forces behind the popular blog Ideas in Food, have made a living out of being inquisitive in the kitchen. Their book shares the knowledge they have gleaned from numerous cooking adventures, from why tapioca flour makes a silkier chocolate pudding than the traditional cornstarch or flour to how to cold smoke just about any ingredient you can think of to impart a new savory dimension to everyday dishes. Perfect for anyone who loves food, Ideas in Food is the ideal handbook for unleashing creativity, intensifying flavors, and pushing one's cooking to new heights. This guide, which includes 100 recipes, explores questions both simple and complex to find the best way to make food as delicious as possible. For home cooks, Aki and Alex look at everyday ingredients and techniques in new ways--from toasting dried pasta to lend a deeper, richer taste to a simple weeknight dinner to making quick "micro stocks" or even using water to intensify the flavor of soups instead of turning to long-simmered stocks. In the book's second part, Aki and Alex explore topics, such as working with liquid nitrogen and carbon dioxide--techniques that are geared towards professional cooks but interesting and instructive for passionate foodies as well. With primers and detailed usage guides for the pantry staples of molecular gastronomy, such as transglutaminase and hydrocolloids (from xanthan gum to gellan), Ideas in Food informs readers how these ingredients can transform food in miraculous ways when used properly. Throughout, Aki and Alex show how to apply their findings in unique and appealing recipes such as Potato Chip Pasta, Root Beer-Braised Short Ribs, and Gingerbread Soufflé. With Ideas in Food, anyone curious about food will find revelatory information, surprising techniques, and helpful tools for cooking more cleverly and creatively at home. From the Hardcover edition.

If You Can't Take the Heat: Tales of Food, Feminism, and Fury
by Geraldine DeRuiterNATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the James Beard Award–winning blogger behind The Everywhereist come hilarious, searing essays on how food and cooking stoke the flames of her feminism.&“With charm and humor, Geraldine DeRuiter welcomes us into her personal history and thus reconnects us with ourselves.&”—Mikki Kendall, New York Times bestselling author of Hood FeminismWhen celebrity chef Mario Batali sent out an apology letter for the sexual harassment allegations made against him, he had the gall to include a recipe—for cinnamon rolls, of all things. Geraldine DeRuiter decided to make the recipe, and she happened to make food journalism history along with it. Her subsequent essay, with its scathing commentary about the pervasiveness of misogyny in the food world, would be read millions of times, lauded by industry luminaries from Martha Stewart to New York Times restaurant critic Pete Wells, and would land DeRuiter in the middle of a media firestorm. She found herself on the receiving end of dozens of threats when all she wanted to do was make something to eat (and, okay fine, maybe take down the patriarchy).In If You Can&’t Take the Heat, DeRuiter shares stories about her shockingly true, painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) adventures in gastronomy. We&’ll learn how she finally got a grip on her debilitating anxiety by emergency meal–planning for the apocalypse. (&“You are probably deeply worried that in times of desperation I would eat your pets. And yes, I absolutely would.&”) Or how she learned to embrace her hanger. (&“Because women can be a lot of things, but we can&’t be angry. Or president, apparently.&”) And how she inadvertently caused another international incident with a negative restaurant review. (She made it on to the homepage of The New York Times&’s website! And she got more death threats!)Deliciously insightful and bitingly clever, If You Can&’t Take the Heat is a fresh look at food and feminism from one of the culinary world&’s sharpest voices.

Ikaria: Lessons on Food, Life, and Longevity from the Greek Island Where People Forget t o Die
by Diane KochilasThe remote and lush island of Ikaria in the northeastern Aegean is home to one of the longest-living populations on the planet, making it a "blue zone." Much of this has been attributed to Ikaria's stress-free lifestyle and Mediterranean diet-daily naps, frequent sex, a little fish and meat, free-flowing wine, mindless exercise like walking and gardening, hyper-local food, strong friendships, and a deep-rooted disregard for the clock.No one knows the Ikarian lifestyle better than Chef Diane Kochilas, who has spent much of her life on the island. Part cookbook, part travelogue, Kochilas's Ikaria is an introduction to the food-as-life philosophy and a culinary journey through luscious recipes, gorgeous photography, and captivating stories from locals. Capturing the true spirit of the island, Kochilas explains the importance of shared food, the health benefits of raw and cooked salads, the bean dishes that are passed down through generations, the greens and herbal teas that are used in the kitchen and in the teapot as "medicine," and the nutritional wisdom inherent in the ingredients and recipes that have kept Ikarians healthy for so long.Ikaria is more than a cookbook. It's a portrait of the people who have achieved what so many of us yearn for: a fuller, more meaningful and joyful life, lived simply and nourished on real, delicious, seasonal foods that you can access anywhere.

Il Buco: Stories & Recipes
by Joshua David Stein Donna Lennard“Delicious recipes from . . . extraordinary chefs” from the “rare restaurant” that focuses on “the aliveness and the beauty of its ingredients” (from the foreword by Alice Waters, James Beard award- winning chef, Chef Panisse).For over twenty-five years, Donna Lennard has presided over an international family of artisans, farmers, winemakers, chefs and regulars from her outpost on Bond Street in New York City. Since 1994, Il Buco has withstood the test of time.In Il Buco, written with Joshua David Stein, Donna shares her incredible journey from antique shop owner to award–winning restaurateur. She reflects on the ingredient-driven, farm-to-table Italian cooking that earned the loyalty of notoriously discriminating New York diners. Donna also expounds upon the essential elements of good eating and good living she learned over the restaurant’s nearly three-decade history. Both a cookbook and a deeply personal journey through the places and with the people who have influenced the restaurant’s ethos the most, Il Buco includes the beloved best-of dishes from the kitchen’s roster of now-famous chefs: Ignacio Mattos’s Black Kale Salad, Justin Smillie’s Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, and Sara Jenkins’s Porchetta alla Romana, to name a few.

And then we return to Bond Street, stories and recipes in hand.” —Francis Mallmann
Il Diabete: Una guida alle basi per sconfiggerlo, perdere peso e vivere una vita sana
by Adidas WilsonIl diabete è causato da una mancata o insufficiente secrezione di insulina, o dall'impossibilità delle cellule ti utilizzarla in modo efficiente o corretto. Quest'ultima condizione causa insulino-resistenza, quindi diabete di tipo 2. La mancanza totale di insulina è il problema principale nei diabetici di tipo 1. Un'altra condizione del diabete di tipo 2 è la forte riduzione delle cellule beta che contribuisce ulteriormente all'aumento degli zuccheri nel sangue. Il glucosio è uno zucchero semplice che si trova comunemente negli alimenti. Fornisce energia per aiutare le cellule del corpo a funzionare correttamente. Viene assorbito nel sangue dall'intestino tenue dove i carboidrati vengono digeriti. Una volta nel sangue, il glucosio viene portato alle cellule del corpo e utilizzato lì. L'insulina facilita l'assorbimento del glucosio nelle cellule del sangue. Senza di essa, le cellule non possono assorbire il glucosio e questo si accumula nel flusso sanguigno. L'insulina è un ormone speciale prodotto nel pancreas dalle cellule beta. Facilita l'assorbimento del glucosio nelle cellule e regola la glicemia, che aumenta quando si consuma un pasto. In risposta a questo, più insulina viene rilasciata nel sangue dal pancreas per abbassare i livelli di zucchero nel sangue, aiutando le cellule ad assorbire il glucosio. I fattori di rischio per il diabete di tipo 1 non sono ben compresi come i fattori di rischio di tipo 2.
