Pasta Grannies
by Vicky BennisonLAS MEJORES RECETAS DE PASTA DE LAS ABUELAS ITALIANAS. En las cocinas de toda Italia, las abuelas o nonne preparan platos tradicionales de pasta fresca para toda la familia, tal como lo hicieron sus madres y sus abuelas, generación tras generación. Para una nonna, el amor consiste en poner comida sobre la mesa, y la pasta es el medio perfecto para que los ingredientes más valiosos cundan más. Durante un viaje de investigación por Italia, Vicky Bennison advirtió que ese talento culinario no se estaba transmitiendo a las generaciones más jóvenes, un vacío que la llevó a crear Pasta Grannies, un canal de YouTube que ha causado sensación y ha cosechado un éxito rotundo. Desde los ñoquis con queso y mantequilla de las montañas del norte hasta las salsas a base de tomate de la huerta servidas con pasta nudosa y retorcida del soleado sur, cada nonna tiene su propia receta especial. Pasta grannies reúne la enorme diversidad y riqueza de esas elaboraciones perfeccionadas por el tiempo, a la vez que celebra la maestría, la vida y las historias de las fascinantes mujeres que hay detrás de ellas. La crítica ha dicho...«Desde la suavidad de los ñoquis en el norte hasta las orechiette en el sur, ésta es la crónica de una forma de vida, además de un libro de cocina. Encantador.»The Daily Telegraph «Pasta grannies no sólo trata de comida deliciosa, sino que contiene también historias extraordinarias. Completado con una abundante sazón de memoria gastronómica, este libro es un hermoso homenaje a las abuelas, sus experiencias y el arte perdido de la elaboración de la pasta.»Stylist «Un libro excelente que incluye platos creados por las abuelas de todas las regiones de Italia.»The Times

Pasta, Pane, Vino: Deep Travels Through Italy's Food Culture (Roads And Kingdoms Presents Ser.)
by Matt Goulding“Italy is a beautiful but complicated place, not so much a country as a collection of cultures and cuisines. Matt Goulding expertly navigates it’s wonders and eccentricities with wisdom and great passion.” -Anthony Bourdain "Goulding is pioneering a new type of writing about food." -Financial Times This is not a cookbook. This is something more: a travelogue, a patient investigation of Italy’s cuisine, a loving profile of the everyday heroes who bring Italy to the table. Pasta, Pane, Vino is the latest edition of the genre-bending Roads & Kingdoms style pioneered under Anthony Bourdain’s imprint in Rice, Noodle, Fish ( 2016 Travel Book of the Year, Society of American Travel Writers ) and Grape, Olive, Pig ( 2017 IACP Award, Literary Food Writing). Town by town, bite by bite, author Matt Goulding brings Italy to life through intimate portraits of its food culture and the people pushing it in new directions: Three globe-trotting brothers who became the mozzarella kings of Puglia; the pizza police of Naples and the innovative pies that stay one step ahead of the rules; the Barolo Boys who turned the hilly Piedmont into one of the world’s great wine regions.Goulding’s writing has never been better, in complete harmony with the book's innovative design and the more than 200 lush color photographs that introduce the chefs, shepherds, fisherman, farmers, grandmas, and guardians who power this country’s extraordinary culinary traditions. From the pasta temples of Rome to the multicultural markets of Sicily to the family-run, fish-driven trattorias of Lake Como, Pasta, Pane, Vino captures the breathtaking diversity of Italian regional food culture.

Pastoral Song: A Farmer's Journey
by James RebanksA gorgeous and enduring portrait of the regeneration of a traditional farm in England’s Lake District International Bestseller * Named "Nature Book of the Year" by the Sunday Times * Shortlisted for the the Orwell Prize and the Royal Society of Literature's Ondaatje Prize * A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Sunday Times, Financial Times, New Statesman, Independent, Telegraph, Observer, and Daily Mail"A MASTERPIECE. ... A poetic, practical, raw, and almost miraculously detailed picture of this ancient way of life struggling to survive and to be reborn." ―New StatesmanThe New York Times bestselling author of The Shepherd’s Life chronicles his family’s farm across three generations, revealing through this intimate lens the profound global transformation of agriculture and of the human relationship to the land.As a boy, James Rebanks's grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognizable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song.Hailed as "a brilliant, beautiful book" by the Sunday Times (London), Pastoral Song (published in the United Kingdom under the title English Pastoral) is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and to leave a legacy for the future.This is a book about what it means to have love and pride in a place, and how, against all the odds, it may still be possible to build a new pastoral: not a utopia, but somewhere decent for us all.[Published in the United Kingdom as English Pastoral.]

Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli
by Ted MerwinWinner of the 2015 National Jewish Book Award in Education and Jewish Identity from the Jewish Book Council The history of an iconic food in Jewish American cultureFor much of the twentieth century, the New York Jewish deli was an iconic institution in both Jewish and American life. As a social space it rivaled—and in some ways surpassed—the synagogue as the primary gathering place for the Jewish community. In popular culture it has been the setting for classics like When Harry Met Sally. And today, after a long period languishing in the trenches of the hopelessly old-fashioned, it is experiencing a nostalgic resurgence. Pastrami on Rye is the first full-length history of the New York Jewish deli. The deli, argues Ted Merwin, reached its full flowering not in the immigrant period, as some might assume, but in the interwar era, when the children of Jewish immigrants celebrated the first flush of their success in America by downing sandwiches and cheesecake in theater district delis. But it was the kosher deli that followed Jews as they settled in the outer boroughs of the city, and that became the most tangible symbol of their continuing desire to maintain a connection to their heritage. Ultimately, upwardly mobile American Jews discarded the deli as they transitioned from outsider to insider status in the middle of the century. Now contemporary Jews are returning the deli to cult status as they seek to reclaim their cultural identities. Richly researched and compellingly told, Pastrami on Rye gives us the surprising story of a quintessential New York institution.
