The Sober Revolution: Appellation Wine and the Transformation of France
by Joseph BohlingBurgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne. The names of these and other French regions bring to mind time-honored winemaking practices. Yet the link between wine and place, in French known as terroir, was not a given. In The Sober Revolution, Joseph Bohling inverts our understanding of French wine history by revealing a modern connection between wine and place, one with profound ties to such diverse and sometimes unlikely issues as alcoholism, drunk driving, regional tourism, Algeria’s independence from French rule, and integration into the European Economic Community.In the 1930s, cheap, mass-produced wines from the Languedoc region of southern France and French Algeria dominated French markets. Artisanal wine producers, worried about the impact of these "inferior" products on the reputation of their wines, created a system of regional appellation labeling to reform the industry in their favor by linking quality to the place of origin. At the same time, the loss of Algeria, once the world’s largest wine exporter, forced the industry to rethink wine production. Over several decades, appellation producers were joined by technocrats, public health activists, tourism boosters, and other dynamic economic actors who blamed cheap industrial wine for hindering efforts to modernize France. Today, scholars, food activists, and wine enthusiasts see the appellation system as a counterweight to globalization and industrial food. But, as The Sober Revolution reveals, French efforts to localize wine and integrate into global markets were not antagonistic but instead mutually dependent. The time-honored winemaking practices that we associate with a pastoral vision of traditional France were in fact a strategy deployed by the wine industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post-1945 international economy. France’s luxury wine producers were more market savvy than we realize.
The Sobo Cookbook
by Andrew Morrison Lisa AhierSobo (Sophisticated Bohemian) started out in 2003 as a purple food truck in the parking lot behind a surf shop, way before food trucks were cool. Despite its remoteness, it attracted rave reviews from food media across North America, with the likes of Saveur magazine calling it: "perhaps the most exciting lunch stand in North America". The back of the staff's t-shirts read: "Quite possibly the second best thing you can do in a parking lot"--and that same fun, authentic West Coast vibe weaves throughout the stories and recipes in this book. Sobo has since become a destination restaurant, having outgrown its food truck beginnings, with visitors making the pilgrimage to the west coast of Vancouver Island just to taste chef Lisa Ahier's cooking--which is, to use Tofino slang, simply "killer". The restaurant's menu focuses on locally-sourced, seasonally-inspired ingredients from family-owned producers. The dishes are shaped by Lisa's Tex Mex and Southwestern culinary roots, and her experience gained across several US states, including her stint as executive chef of Cibolo Creek Ranch in Texas. The Sobo Cookbook includes over 100 of the restaurant's all-time favourite recipes--recipes that have fed surfers, hungry locals, curious visitors and die-hard foodies alike.
Sobre Como Fazer um Trifle com Xerez – Uma Sobremesa Tradicional Britânica
by Pedro Nunes Ramos Geoff WellsSobre Receitas Genuinamente Britânicas É excelente experimentar novas receitas pela primeira vez. Experienciar novos sabores. Experimentar novas combinações que nunca antes pensou fazer. Porém, na maioria da nossa alimentação diária, nunca abrimos um livro de culinária ou medimos ingredientes de forma precisa. Normalmente, guiamo-nos pelo que parece certo e a experiencia que adquirimos de cozinhar um prato, repetidamente. A coleção Como Fazer Receitas Genuinamente Britânicas é mais sobre o método e os ingredientes, do que as medidas precisas. Esta é a forma como as nossas Avós e as nossas Mães cozinhavam. Estas são as receitas que a minha Avó transmitiu à minha Mãe; e que a minha Mãe passou para mim. Espero que disfrutem desta coletânea de livros de culinária e que, brevemente, utilize estas receitas caseiras como um verdadeiro britânico. Sobre Como Fazer um Trifle com Xerez - Uma Sobremesa Tradicional Britânica Considerada por muitos a pioneira das sobremesas britânicas. Um Trifle Britânico é, apesar de tudo, simples de confecionar. Infelizmente, o que aparece em muitas ementas norte-americanas pouco tem a ver com um Genuíno Trifle Britânico. Um Trifle é mais um tipo de sobremesa do que um conjunto de ingredientes precisos, sendo que a base e a fruta utilizada podem variar. Irá encontrar em receitas de trifle, de forma frequente, ingredientes como Creme de Custard em Pó da marca Bird's, cerejas, Cocktail de Frutas, framboesas, morangos (congelados ou não), com imensas natas batidas para o topping. E não nos esqueçamos dos Palitos La Reine! Todos estes ingredientes costumam ser dispostos em taças ou pratos. Porém, a maioria das receitas de trifle norte-americanas são feitas com gelatina ou pudim de baunilha, ingredientes que não encontrará num Trifle Genuinamente Britânico. Este pequeno livro é um passo a passo para criar a versão da minha família des
Sobrevivir a un mundo gordofóbico: Sin caer en trastornos alimenticios
by Jesica LaviaCon más de quince años de experiencia como nutricionista, Jesica Lavia cuestiona la gordofobia y reclama dejar de estigmatizar y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Entender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo". Argentina ocupa el segundo lugar a nivel mundial con más casos de trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Este es un claro indicador de que vivimos en una sociedad en la que la delgadez es un valor y un ideal por alcanzar. Cualquiera que se desvíe de ese camino sufre discriminación social y también médica, porque hasta en un consultorio se alarman si nuestro peso se escapa de los índices que determinan cuándo estamos obesos. Esto está generando una cultura de dietas y una ola cada vez más grande de gordofobia, que van minando nuestra salud mental y pueden disparar varios trastornos de la alimentación. Con más de quince años de experiencia como licenciada en Nutrición, Jesica Lavia ofrece una mirada cruda y realista sobre este problema, al tiempo que reclama y propone un cambio de paradigma para dejar de estigmatizar, oprimir y patologizar a las personas por el tamaño de sus cuerpos. Y "entender todas las aristas que afectan no solo lo que comemos, sino el acceso a lo que comemos y cómo nos relacionamos con nuestra alimentación. Comprender cómo lo cultural nos atraviesa y la urgencia de que el cambio sea colectivo".

The Social History of Bourbon: An Unhurried Account Of Our Star-spangled American Drink
by Gerald CarsonA high-spirited history of the role bourbon has played in American life and culture, &“documented and full of folklore&” (Kirkus Reviews). The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentucky&’s illustrious gift to the nation. While much has been written about whiskey, the particular place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. A fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that has been widely overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquor&’s presence during America&’s early development, as well as bourbon&’s role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the &“whiskey forts&” of the fur trade. From moonshiners to the Civil War to Old West saloons and the privations of Prohibition, The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture. &“Goes into the families and personalities of bourbon&’s early history and does so with humor . . . a great cause to raise a glass.&” ―Rowley&’s Whiskey Forge

This new edition weaves the two stories together to highlight the similarities and differences in the preferences, rituals, etiquette, politics and social importance of tea in the two continents over the past three and one-half centuries. To balance the British narrative with that of America, Bruce Richardson has joined Jane Pettigrew, adding a clear and colorful American perspective to give readers the wider history.

The Sociology of Farming: Concepts and Methods (Earthscan Food and Agriculture)
by Jan Douwe van der PloegThis book provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the concepts and methods of the sociology of farming. The sociology of farming focuses on co-production: the ongoing interaction and mutual transformation of the natural and the social (of ‘human and living nature’) which requires putting the farm labour process centre stage. While there are many books which discuss food and agriculture, this book is different: it delves into the methods and concepts used and presents a comprehensive conceptual framework and the associated methods for research to give students and researchers of agriculture and rural studies a solid set of tools for unravelling the complexities of farming and rural life. Importantly, these tools also empower us to design new ways forward. A wide array of case studies, as wide-ranging as Brazil, Peru, China, the Netherlands, Italy and Guinea Bissau, help readers to grasp the commonalities that underlie strongly diversified and divided rural worlds. The book lists over two hundred basic concepts and includes boxes that discuss the main methods of the sociology of farming. This textbook is essential reading for students and scholars of food and agriculture, agrarian studies, rural development, food and farming systems, peasant studies and environmental sociology.

Sod Busting: How Families Made Farms on the 19th-Century Plains (How Things Worked)
by David B. Danbom“An excellent introduction to the challenges and opportunities of agricultural life in a difficult region for farming . . . elegantly written.” —Jeff Bremer, The Annals of IowaPrairie busting is central to the lore of westward expansion, but how was it actually accomplished with little more than animal and human power? In Sod Busting, David B. Danbom challenges students to think about the many practicalities of surviving on the Great Plains in the late nineteenth century by providing a detailed account of how settlers acquired land and made homes, farms, and communities. He examines the physical and climatic obstacles of the plains—perhaps America’s most inhospitable frontier—and shows how settlers sheltered themselves, gained access to fuel and water, and broke the land for agriculture.Treating the Great Plains as a post-industrial frontier, Danbom delves into the economic motivations of settlers, how they got the capital they needed to succeed, and how they used the labor of the entire family to survive until farms returned profits. He examines closely the business decisions that determined the success or failure of these farmers in a boom-and-bust economy; details the creation of churches, schools, and service centers that enriched the social and material lives of the settlers; and shows how the support of government, railroads, and other businesses contributed to the success of plains settlement.Based on contemporary accounts, settlers’ reminiscences, and the work of other historians, Sod Busting dives deeply into the practical realities of how things worked to make vivid one of the quintessentially American experiences, breaking new land.“A cogent and engaging portrait of the real lives of those who settled the Great Plains.” —Nebraska History
The Soda Fountain
by Gia Giasullo Peter Freeman Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain Michael Harlan Turkell Elizabeth KiemA collection of 70 recipes celebrating the history and stories of the classic American soda fountain from one of the most-celebrated revival soda fountains in the country, Brooklyn Farmacy. A century ago, soda fountains on almost every Main Street in America served as the heart of the community, where folks shared sundaes, sodas, ice cream floats, and the news of the day. A quintessentially American institution, the soda fountain still speaks of a bygone era of innocence and ease. When Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain opened its doors in 2010, it launched a revival of this great American original, capturing the hearts of a new generation. Featuring abundant full-color photography and vintage illustrations and advertisements, The Soda Fountain explores a rich history--from the origins of seltzer in the nineteenth century, through the transformation of soda during Prohibition and the Depression years, right up to today's fountain renaissance. Featured recipes range from classics like the Purple Cow and Cherry Lime Rickey to contemporary innovations that have made Brooklyn Farmacy famous, like The Sundae of Broken Dreams (topped with caramel sauce and broken pretzel bits) and Makin' Whoopie! Sundae (with hot fudge and mini chocolate whoopie cakes). Recreating beloved treats like egg creams and milkshakes with local, seasonal, and artisanal ingredients, Gia Giasullo and Peter Freeman, the sibling cofounders of Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain, teach you how to resurrect the proud American soda fountain tradition at your own kitchen counter. With its fascinating anecdotes, mouth-watering pictures and easy-to-follow steps,this nostalgic cookbook proves that the soda fountain is a culinary and cultural institution that continues to delight.
Soda Politics: Taking on Big Soda (and Winning)
by Marion Nestle Mark Bittman Neal BaerSodas are astonishing products. Little more than flavored sugar-water, these drinks cost practically nothing to produce or buy, yet have turned their makers - principally Coca-Cola and PepsiCo - into a multibillion-dollar industry with global recognition, distribution, and political power. Billed as "refreshing," "tasty," "crisp," and "the real thing," sodas also happen to be so well established to contribute to poor dental hygiene, higher calorie intake, obesity, and type-2 diabetes that the first line of defense against any of these conditions is to simply stop drinking them. Habitually drinking large volumes of soda not only harms individual health, but also burdens societies with runaway healthcare costs. So how did products containing absurdly inexpensive ingredients become multibillion dollar industries and international brand icons, while also having a devastating impact on public health? In Soda Politics, Dr. Marion Nestle answers this question by detailing all of the ways that the soft drink industry works overtime to make drinking soda as common and accepted as drinking water, for adults and children. Dr. Nestle, a renowned food and nutrition policy expert and public health advocate, shows how sodas are principally miracles of advertising; Coca-Cola and PepsiCo spend billions of dollars each year to promote their sale to children, minorities, and low-income populations, in developing as well as industrialized nations. And once they have stimulated that demand, they leave no stone unturned to protect profits. That includes lobbying to prevent any measures that would discourage soda sales, strategically donating money to health organizations and researchers who can make the science about sodas appear confusing, and engaging in Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR) activities to create goodwill and silence critics. Soda Politics follows the money trail wherever it leads, revealing how hard Big Soda works to sell as much of their products as possible to an increasingly obese world. But Soda Politics does more than just diagnose a problem - it encourages readers to help find solutions. From Berkeley to Mexico City and beyond, advocates are successfully countering the relentless marketing, promotion, and political protection of sugary drinks. And their actions are having an impact - for all of the hardball and softball tactics the soft drink industry employs to maintain the status quo, soda consumption has been flat or falling for years. Health advocacy campaigns are now the single greatest threat to soda companies' profits. Soda Politics provides readers with the tools they need to keep up pressure on Big Soda in order to build healthier and more sustainable food systems.
Sodium Intake in Populations
by Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice Maria Oria Ann L. Yaktine Food and Nutrition Board Brian L. Strom Institute of Medicine Committee on the Consequences of Sodium Reduction in PopulationsDespite efforts over the past several decades to reduce sodium intake in the United States, adults still consume an average of 3,400 mg of sodium every day. A number of scientific bodies and professional health organizations, including the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Public Health Association, support reducing dietary sodium intake. These organizations support a common goal to reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 years of age and older and those of any age who are African-American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. A substantial body of evidence supports these efforts to reduce sodium intake. This evidence links excessive dietary sodium to high blood pressure, a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, and cardiac-related mortality. However, concerns have been raised that a low sodium intake may adversely affect certain risk factors, including blood lipids and insulin resistance, and thus potentially increase risk of heart disease and stroke. In fact, several recent reports have challenged sodium reduction in the population as a strategy to reduce this risk. Sodium Intake in Populations recognizes the limitations of the available evidence, and explains that there is no consistent evidence to support an association between sodium intake and either a beneficial or adverse effect on most direct health outcomes other than some CVD outcomes (including stroke and CVD mortality) and all-cause mortality. Some evidence suggested that decreasing sodium intake could possibly reduce the risk of gastric cancer. However, the evidence was too limited to conclude the converse--that higher sodium intake could possibly increase the risk of gastric cancer. Interpreting these findings was particularly challenging because most studies were conducted outside the United States in populations consuming much higher levels of sodium than those consumed in this country. Sodium Intake in Populations is a summary of the findings and conclusions on evidence for associations between sodium intake and risk of CVD-related events and mortality.

Soil and Sacrament
by Fred BahnsonPart spiritual quest, part agricultural travelogue, this moving and profound exploration of the joy and solace found in returning to the garden is inspiring and beautiful.After he graduated from Duke Divinity School, Fred Bahnson underwent an agrarian conversion. Trading the pulpit for the plough, Bahnson helped start a community garden in Cedar Grove, North Carolina--a town struggling under an unspoken racial divide. As Anathoth Community Garden slowly cultivates a new future as a progressive multi-racial society, Bahnson is likewise transformed from shy and self-effacing to a charismatic leader. His time at Anathoth becomes the impetus for a road trip spent visiting different faith-based agrarian groups, one for each season--from a community of Roman Catholic monks who pursue a life of contemplation while harvesting rare mushrooms on a Southern plantation, to a Jewish organic farm in the Berkshires, where he and other young people learn the agrarian arts of ancient Israel right in Connecticut. Recently appointed director of Wake Forest University School of Divinity's pioneering Food, Faith, and Religious Leadership Initiative, Bahnson is the perfect guide on this lyrical and inspiring journey. Through his travels across the country and into his own past, Bahnson comes to see "how our yearning for real food is inextricably bound up in our spiritual desire to be fed" and discovers how rituals of cultivation can become a powerful source of community and purpose.
