Viaje al sabor 2
by Carlos ReyesUn recorrido sobre las manifestaciones culinarias más enraizadas en la cultura nacional, desde el tradicional comino hasta las parrilladas bailables que proliferaron en dictadura bajo el régimen de toque de queda. Carlos Reyes construye sus crónicas no solo a partir de la receta tradicional de distintas localidades de Chile, sino que busca esa sintonía con la cultura ciudadana que convierte la comida en una costumbre que reúne a la gente en torno a la mesa, y que habla también sobre cómo somos los chilenos. "En un país tan largo y por lo mismo con tantos climas, suele haber productos cuyas esencias marcan el carácter de cada territorio. Las unidades nacionales son más bien cosa de gustos comunes. Entre esos pliegues de la mentalidad colectiva se aloja el comino#", escribe Reyes, justamente acerca de ese aliño tan característico de la cocina chilena y que él retrata en un relato escrito en Ovalle, en lo más profundo del valle Limarí. Así, este crítico gastronómico nos cuenta cómo los soldados chilenos que pelearon en la Guerra del Pacífico trajeron el pisco a nuestro territorio, nos habla de ajiacos, cazuelas, nuevas costumbres como el sushi al paso y viejas costumbres como las heredadas de la cultura chinchorro.

Vibe: Unlock the Energetic Frequencies of Limitless Health, Love & Success
by Robyn OpenshawIn Vibe, bestselling author Robyn Openshaw reveals the difference between low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and high vibration emotions (love, inner peace, gratitude) and helps you dramatically impact your physical and mental well-being by raising your vibrational frequencies.The great Austrian scientist Nikola Tesla is a household name among today&’s scientific community, known for his finding that all matter has vibrational energy, or electrical frequency, and that we are all electrical beings, made up of rapidly vibrating cells. Most of us are vaguely familiar with this concept, but we don&’t realize the powerful implications this has for our choices every day—which foods to eat, how much water to drink, what we think about when we&’re in the car or the shower, what our risk of disease is, and how we feel at any given moment are all affected by the power of vibration. Everything in health and wellness should revolve around the basic concept that what we choose to eat and what we choose to do lowers or raises our vibration. And that makes all the difference. Vibe explores the foods, natural substances, and lifestyle practices that can raise our vibrations. Robyn Openshaw reveals evidence that shows how drinking green juice, using certain essential oils, and engaging in yoga and meditation raises the frequency of the human brain and other organs. Living in a &“high vibe&” state can make us resilient to illness, fatigue, burnout, and depression. Readers will learn all about the low vibration emotions (fear, anger, inertia) and the high vibration emotions (love, peace, gratitude) and how to achieve higher vibrations in everyday living. Openshaw explores how the smallest changes in our life—from what we eat to how we think—can radically improve our mood, overall health, and quality of life.

Rounding out the book is an array of addictive snacks (popcorn topped with curry leaf butter), creative desserts (banana, coconut, and cardamom ice cream), and refreshing drinks (chile watermelon juice with mint). Chitra provides numerous substitutions to accommodate produce seasonality, ingredient availability, and personal tastes. The majority of recipes are gluten-free and vegan or can be easily modified to adhere to those dietary restrictions.

Vienna, Märzen, Oktoberfest: (Classic Beer Style Series)
by George Fix Laurie FixIn the simplest definition, Viennas are amber-colored beers brewed with bottom-fermenting lager yeast. On the other hand, the terms Märzen and Oktoberfest originally referred to a brewing process—not a beer style. While the terms Vienna, Märzen and Oktoberfest may seem unrelated, history indicates otherwise. Over time, Viennas became standard beers brewed on a regular basis and often at a lower gravity. The Märzen and Oktoberfest beers became &“festbiers,&” brewed for celebrations each October. Historical records, nevertheless, indicate that successful versions of both latter styles had a definite &“Viennese character,&” and it is the primary goal of this book to delineate the fundamental attributes of the Vienna character. Recipes are included. Brewers Publications&’ Classic Beer Style Series is devoted to offering in-depth information on world-class beer styles by exploring their history, flavor profiles, brewing methods, recipes, and ingredients.
