Una frugale estate in Charente
by Sarah Jane Butfield Elisabetta BorghiIncontriamo Sarah Jane, una donna con una reputazione per i disastri culinari che tenta di sfamare la sua famiglia in circostanze particolari nella Francia rurale. Una vita frugale non è parte del piano quando arrivano dall'Australia per intraprendere la ristrutturazione di un pittoresco cottage nella Charente. Però, quando la vita lancia loro una palla curva, accettano la sfida. Sopravvivere in Francia con pochi soldi e due cani. La risposta arriva sotto forma di cinque galline, quattro anatre e un orto! Il piano è risparmiare con ogni mezzo possibile per investire ogni soldo guadagnato per continuare la ristrutturazione del cottage. In vero stile "Vita Felice", Sarah Jane affronta la sfida a testa alta, allevando qualche animale e convertendo un giardino simile ad un prato in un 'potager' francese o orto domestico. La tradizione francese di usare i prodotti dei 'potager' è rinomata per permettere alle famiglie di creare pasti sani, economici e semplici. Trentuno ricette, per cibi e bevande, incluse in una registrazione mensile di come un giardino inutilizzato si trasforma in un frugale, ma produttivo, orto domestico da espatriati.
Una manera sencilla de estar sano - coma sano, viva sano, y ¡siéntase estupendo!
by Julie Massoni Valeria Lissbeth Aguirre Sánchez¿Por lo regular se siente sin energía y sin ánimo, pero su especialista le ha dicho que no hay nada malo con su salud? ¿Ha probado con diferentes tipos de dietas y ejercicios, pero no puede perder peso? ¿Sufre de artritis, pero no le gusta tomar medicina para aliviar el dolor? Si respondió “sí” a cualquiera de las preguntas anteriores, estará de acuerdo que no existe una píldora mágica o una pócima que arreglen esos problemas; la buena noticia es que existe algo que usted puedes hacer para cada uno de los casos y además prevenir muchos otros problemas de salud. Lamentablemente, muchos problemas de salud se cree que son consecuencia “normales por la edad” o “enfermedades comunes” cuando, en realidad, son señales del cuerpo diciendo que no está funcionando de la mejor forma. Yo sufría con dolores de cabeza, problemas digestivos e infecciones crónicas recurrentes. Después de muchas visitas al doctor y exámenes de sangre, quedaba sorprendida cuando me decían que no había nada malo en mi… pero sabía que algo no marchaba bien. La primera vez que visité a un neurópata (poco después de los 20 años) pude confirmar que tenía candidiasis sistémica. Al hacer los cambios necesarios a mi dieta y estilo de vida, comencé a notar cambios muy rápido y al fin pude disfrutar de buena salud. Además, soy vegetariana desde hace 30 años y desde entonces no he querido cambiarlo. El cambio drástico en mi salud y el interés entre la relación dieta y enfermedad, me inspiraron a estudiar neuropatía y, de manera posterior, convertirme en neurópata en 1991. La información que les proporciono a ustedes en este libro, no está guiada para curar una enfermedad en específico, pero lo encamina a favorecer su salud y bienestar de manera general. Si está listo para empezar a sentirse “más que bien” y busca realizar los cambios necesarios, entonces acaba de dar el primer paso

Uncle Bubba's Savannah Seafood: More than 100 Down-Home Southern Recipes for Good Food and Good Times
by Earl HiersPeople travel from far and wide to taste the fresh and delicious seafood served at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House in Savannah, but now you can stay home and let chef and owner Earl “Bubba” Hiers treat you to his famous Southern hospitality. His first-ever cookbook tells you how to prepare both the dishes that made his restaurant famous and the home cooking that he and his older sister, Food Network star Paula Deen, grew up eating in their Granny Paul's kitchen.Learn how to make finger-lickin' Dixieland favorites like Low Country Boil, Lip-Smackin'-Good Chicken Casserole, Salmon and Grits, and Oyster Stew. Right off the restaurants menu are dishes like BBQ Shrimp, Gumbo, and Shrimp and Grits. And because good cooking seems to run in Bubba's family, recipes like Raised Biscuits, Kathy's Dig Deep salad, and Cheesy Squash Casserole come straight from the recipe boxes in the authentic Southern kitchens of Bubba's grannies, aunts, and friends. Desserts are Bubba's favorite, and there's no shortage. Try Aunt Glennis's version of the classic Dixie staple, Red Velvet Cake, or the Lemon Cheese Cake, which true Southerners know is not a cheesecake at all. There's also Chocolate Almond Pie, Butterscotch Pound Cake, Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie, and three recipes for truly scrumptious desserts that are Paula's gift to her baby brother. Plus, along with the recipes, you'll get family stories and photographs that bring Bubba and Paula's Georgia childhood to life. Like his restaurant, Bubba's recipes are casual—perfect for summer cookouts and picnics where paper napkins and plastic forks are just fine, and the card playing and story swapping begins when the Chargrilled Oysters are put on the table, and doesn't end until long after the last bite of Georgia Peach Cake is cleaned from the plate. Soon, just like Bubba, you'll be spending long afternoons around the grill, bragging on your barbecue and waiting for the Beer Rolls to come out of the oven.

Uncorked: Negotiating Science and Belief in the Natural Wine Movement
by Pablo Alonso González Eva Parga DansNatural wine is a captivating and rapidly evolving phenomenon in the world of viticulture and winemaking. This movement, characterized by minimal intervention, low or no chemical additives, and a focus on terroir-driven expressions of grapes, has ignited a passionate following among wine enthusiasts, sommeliers, and eco-conscious consumers. It's more than just a beverage; it embodies a philosophy that aligns with contemporary sustainability and wellness trends. Though natural wine enthusiasts have produced ample coverage of the natural wine movement in books, essays and films, academics have lagged behind in their examination of this global phenomenon. In Uncorked: Negotiating Science and Belief in the Natural Wine Movement, scholarly discussion reaches across disciplines to offer valuable insights for researchers, producers, wine enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in this movement. Exploring the relevance of natural wine offers a unique lens through which to examine the intersection of tradition, innovation, environmental stewardship, and the evolving tastes of modern consumers. Through the stories of the winemakers, the science behind natural fermentation, and the cultural and historical context, this book aims to provide a comprehensive look at how this movement is shaping the future of wine and our relationship with the natural world. Each essay from a thought leader in their respective field delves deep into the historical, ecological, and sociocultural dimensions of natural winemaking, shedding light on its ancient roots, ecological practices, and the philosophical underpinnings that drive the movement. Discussions of regulatory and consumer aspects will also elucidate the practical considerations of making and selling natural wine.

Uncorked: The Science of Champagne - Revised Edition
by Gérard Liger-BelairThe spectacular science behind champagne's effervescenceUncorked quenches our curiosity about the inner workings of one of the world's most prized beverages. Esteemed for its freshness, vitality, and sensuality, champagne is a wine of great complexity. Mysteries aplenty gush forth with the popping of that cork. Just what is that fizz? Can you judge champagne quality by how big the bubbles are, how long they last, or how they behave before they fade? And why does serving champagne in a long-stemmed flute prolong its chill and effervescence? Through lively prose and a wealth of state-of-the-art photos, this revised edition of Uncorked unlocks the door to what champagne is all about.Providing an unprecedented close-up view of the beauty in the bubbles, Gérard Liger-Belair presents images that look surprisingly like lovely flowers, geometric patterns, even galaxies as the bubbles rise through the glass and burst forth on the surface. He illustrates how bubbles form not on the glass itself but are "born" out of debris stuck on the glass wall, how they rise, and how they pop. Offering a colorful history of champagne, Liger-Belair tells us how it is made and he asks if global warming could spell champagne's demise. In a brand-new afterword, he updates the reader on new developments in the world of bubble science and delves even more deeply into the processes that give champagne its unique and beautiful character.Bubbly may tickle the nose, but Uncorked tackles what the nose and the naked eye cannot—the spectacular science that gives champagne its charm and champagne drinkers immeasurable pleasure.
Uncorking the Past: The Quest for Wine, Beer, and Other Alcoholic Beverages
by Patrick E. McgovernIn a lively tour around the world and through the millennia, Uncorking the Past tells the compelling story of humanity's ingenious, intoxicating quest for the perfect drink. Following a tantalizing trail of archaeological, chemical, artistic, and textual clues, Patrick E. McGovern, the leading authority on ancient alcoholic beverages, brings us up to date on what we now know about how humans created and enjoyed fermented beverages across cultures. Along the way, he explores a provocative hypothesis about the integral role such libations have played in human evolution. We discover, for example, that the cereal staples of the modern world were probably domesticated for their potential in making quantities of alcoholic beverages. These include the delectable rice wines of China and Japan, the corn beers of the Americas, and the millet and sorghum drinks of Africa. Humans also learned how to make mead from honey and wine from exotic fruits of all kinds-even from the sweet pulp of the cacao (chocolate) fruit in the New World. The perfect drink, it turns out-whether it be mind-altering, medicinal, a religious symbol, a social lubricant, or artistic inspiration-has not only been a profound force in history, but may be fundamental to the human condition itself.
