Managing Food Safety Practices FROM FARM TO TABLE: Workshop Summary
by Institute of Medicine of the National AcademiesLegal regulations and manufacturers' monitoring practices have not been enough to prevent contamination of the national food supply and protect consumers from serious harm. In addressing food safety risks, regulators could perhaps better ensure the quality and safety of food by monitoring food production not just at a single point in production but all along the way, from farm to table. Recognizing the troubled state of food safety, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Food Forum met in Washington, DC, on September 9, 2008, to explore the management of food safety practices from the beginning of the supply chain to the marketplace.

ManBQue!: Meat. Beer. Rock and Roll.
by Jesse Valenciana John CarruthersManBQue is the next griller’s Bible for those in their 20s and 30s. Dedicated to meat, beer, and rock n’ roll, it starts with the basics: how to grind, assemble, and grill a perfect burger and how to season, sear, and rest a perfect strip steak. Then it moves on to other staples--perfectly cooked wings, slow-roasted BBQ, and handmade sausages. There are also suggestions for monster sandwiches and mouthwatering tacos. Once you’ve got that under control, it takes on all the weird stuff: the pig tongue and beef hearts, snails and, yes, even salad. Along the way there are beer pairings, explaining the different styles and the basic principles of putting a bottle with whatever comes off the grill. Not content with simple descriptions, ManBQue worked with craft brew experts to tell you why that IPA goes so well with your lamb burger and which bock you should be dousing your brisket in. But ManBQue is more than a cookbook, it’s a community; it’s a grilling and lifestyle organization that grew into a global society with thousands of followers. Once a month the members cast aside their daily responsibilities for good food and company. In this spirit, the margins are filled with stories of what you’re eating, which ManBQue member invented it, and how that insanely delicious process occurred. By the end, you too will be shouting "MANBQUE!”

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?

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

Mangez moins, vivez plus Votre guide pratique vers la restriction calorique avec nutrition optimale
by Anca IoviţăLors de ma troisième année de médecine, je suis tombée sur un article en ligne traitant de la restriction calorique avec nutrition optimale. Il contenait des informations sur un régime simple capable de prolonger la durée de vie moyenne et maximale de sujets de laboratoire tels que des levures, des mouches drosophiles, des vers et des souris. Lorsque j’ai lu cet article, j’ignorais que de telles expériences étaient menées également sur des primates. Pour être honnête, j’ai vu cette intervention comme une simple anecdote qui pourrait avoir quelques effets sur des organismes simples tels que des moches drosophiles, mais également comme quelque chose qui ne pourrait jamais fonctionner pour des organismes complexes comme nous. Cela paraissait trop beau pour être vrai. Avec le temps, je me suis rendue compte que j’avais tort. Pour satisfaire ma fascination d’enfant sur les limites de l’extension de la vie, j’ai étudié l’ingénierie et la médecine, pour tenter de trouver un moyen d’allonger la durée de vie des êtres humains. Après un court séjour dans le domaine des prothèses neuronales dans un laboratoire allemand, j’ai réalisé que l’implantation d’appareils artificiels dans le corps humain n’était pas une solution pérenne. Je suis retournée chez moi et j’ai entamé mon internat en médecine gériatrique, la branche de la médecine spécialisée dans les maladies liées à l’âge. C’est là qu’un événement cocasse s’est produit. Lire les différentes théories sur le vieillissement est une chose. Mais s’occuper de personnes trois à quatre fois plus âgées que vous en est une autre, et c’est là que j’ai commencé à faire le lien. J’ai remarqué que certaines personnes vieillissaient comme un bon vin, tandis que d’autres connaissaient un vieillissement plus proche de celui du vinaigre. Leurs corps fragiles et leurs histoires de vie détaillées semblaient indiquer
Mangia di meno, vivi di più - guida pratica alla restrizione calorica con nutrizione ottimale
by Anca IoviţăAl terzo anno di medicina mi sono imbattuta in un articolo in Rete che parlava della restrizione delle calorie con nutrizione ottimale. Si parlava di un intervento apparentemente semplice, fatto sul regime alimentare di alcuni organismi e animali da laboratorio che ne aveva prolungato le aspettative di vita media e massima: lieviti, moscerini della frutta, vermi, topi. A quel tempo non sapevo che questo tipo di esperimenti fosse già stato condotto anche su primati non umani. Ad essere sincera, avevo liquidato l’esperimento come una stranezza: poteva anche aver avuto efficacia su organismi semplici come i moscerini della frutta, ma non avrebbe mai funzionato su esseri viventi complessi come noi: troppo bello per essere vero. Il tempo mi ha dato torto. I limiti della vita hanno sempre esercitato un certo fascino su di me, sin da bambina: ho studiato Ingegneria e Medicina, infatti, cercando di scoprire come prolungare radicalmente la durata dell’esistenza. Dopo un breve periodo come ricercatrice sulle protesi neurali in un laboratorio in Germania, mi sono però resa conto che impiantare dispositivi artificiali all’interno del corpo umano non sarebbe potuta essere una soluzione a lungo termine. Tornata a casa mi sono specializzata in Geriatria, cioè in quel ramo della medicina che studia le malattie correlate all’età. È stato allora che è accaduto un fatto curioso: leggere teorie legate all’invecchiamento è una cosa, prendersi cura tutti i giorni di persone che hanno tre o quattro volte la tua età è un’altra. Così, ho semplicemente fatto due più due. Avevo notato che alcune delle persone delle quali mi occupavo quotidianamente erano invecchiate “come un buon vino”, altre come “vino divenuto aceto”. Basandomi sulla loro esile struttura fisica e sui dettagli della loro vita, sembrava proprio che l’assunzione di calorie c’entrasse in qualche modo. È stato così che ho iniziato a scrivere le prime righe di q

Mango & Mint: Arabian, Indian, and North African Inspired Vegan Cuisine (Tofu Hound Press)
by Nicky GarrattNicky Garratt's love of Arabian, Indian, and North African cuisine is obvious in this mouth-watering collection of vegan recipes. Challenging the notion that meals require a centerpiece—historically based around the kill from the hunt or domesticated herd—this recipe collection offers satisfying menus in both buffet style and formal sit-down meals using the vegan philosophy of an intelligent use of the resources available. The full-color photographs offer ideas for presentation, and the book includes sections on planning meals in advance to save money and maximize resources as well as a selection of recipes that utilizes often-discarded items as ingredients—such as watermelon rinds and beet tops in addition to the common problem of easily forgotten leftovers. The flavor of Arabic and North African cuisine is seen in the recipes for Baba Ghannouj, Red Pepper Bulgar, Spinach Pies, Harissa, and Donuts in Syrup, while Indian favorites such as Apple Soup, Peanut Vada, Chana Masala with Green Chili, and Mango Rice also make an appearance. The recipes range from quick and easily created to relatively complex, all of which require only basic equipment and rudimentary skill. The book contains an index for fresh ingredients that enables one to quickly locate a recipe by provisions already found in the refrigerator.
Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent
by Naomi Duguid Jeffrey AlfordFor this companion volume to the award-winning Hot Sour Salty Sweet, Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid travel west from Southeast Asia to that vast landmass the colonial British called the Indian Subcontinent. It includes not just India, but extends north to Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal and as far south as Sri Lanka, the island nation so devastated by the recent tsunami. For people who love food and cooking, this vast region is a source of infinite variety and eye-opening flavors. Home cooks discover the Tibetan-influenced food of Nepal, the Southeast Asian tastes of Sri Lanka, the central Asian grilled meats and clay-oven breads of the northwest frontier, the vegetarian cooking of the Hindus of southern India and of the Jain people of Gujarat. It was just twenty years ago that cooks began to understand the relationships between the multifaceted cuisines of the Mediterranean; now we can begin to do the same with the foods of the Subcontinent.
The Manhattan Cocktail: A Modern Guide to the Whiskey Classic
by Albert W.A. SchmidHistory, lore, and over fifty recipes in a “compulsively readable book about a classic American cocktail” (Susan Reigler, author of Kentucky Bourbon Country).Alongside such classics as the Old Fashioned, Mint Julep, and Martini, the Manhattan has been a staple of the sophisticated bar scene since the nineteenth century. Never out of style, this iconic drink has seen a renaissance in the craft cocktail movement, with a boost from TV's Mad Men. In theory, the recipe is simple: a mixture of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters stirred with ice, strained, and presented in a cocktail glass garnished with a cherry. But the exact ingredients and proportions—as well as the drink’s true origins—inspire great debate.In this guide, Albert W. A. Schmid dispels myths, including the tale that the Manhattan was created in 1874 by bartenders at New York City's Manhattan Club to honor the newly elected Governor Tilden at Lady Randolph Churchill’s request. Schmid also explores places and people that have contributed to the drink’s popularity and inspired its lore, including J. P. Morgan, who enjoyed a Manhattan every day at the end of trading on Wall Street.The Manhattan Cocktail also examines the effects of various bourbons and whiskeys on the aroma and flavor, even answering the age-old question of “shaken or stirred?” With over fifty recipes as well as notes and anecdotes from personalities ranging from renowned mixologist Dale DeGroff to writer Sir Kingsley Amis, it will delight both the cocktail novice and the seasoned connoisseur.

Manifest animalista: La causa animal com a camí per a un nou humanisme
by Corine PelluchonLa violència contra els animals és un atac directe a la nostra humanitat. Això demostra Corine Pelluchon en aquest breu, pragmàtic, i controvertit assaig que suposa una contribució radical a l'ètica i la filosofia política. Lluitar contra el maltractament animal és rebel·lar-se contra una societat basada en l'explotació, i per això la causa animalista és una qüestió política major que ens concerneix a tots, més enllà d'ideologies o conflictes d'interessos. Amb un estil viu, persuasiu i inspirador, l'autora proposa un camí possible i factible per portar aquest debat a l'esfera política amb tanta claredat i urgència com sigui possible. Ressenyes:«Corine Pelluchon ho explica tot absolutament bé en tot just un centenar de pàgines: per ser una alternativa vàlida, és imprescindible polititzar la causa animal.»Luce Lapin, Charlie Hebdo «L'objectiu principal de l'autora està completament assolit en aquest Manifest animalista: dóna al lector les claus que li permetran ampliar el radi d'acció de l'humanisme als animals.»Philippe Douroux, Libération «Una perspectiva bella i ambiciosa.»Isabelle Gravillon, Femme Majuscule «Un llibre d'intervenció política, tan compromès com lúcid.»Robert Jules, La Tribune «Una de les moltes i grans qualitats d'aquest Manifest animalista és que, en tot moment, el seu projecte està exposat de manera perfectament creïble i realitzable. Precisament per això, l'autora no es fa cap il·lusió sobre la dificultat que suposa introduir la qüestió animal en el debat polític.»Hicham-Stéphane Afeissa, Non Fiction
