Come mierda: No comas mejor, deja de comer peor
by Julio BasultoEl libro más descarnado de Julio Basulto. «Una brújula para evitar el mareo en este mar confuso de oferta despiadada de malos alimentos, de falsas creencias y mucho aficionado.»Dra. María Neira, directora de Salud Pública de la OMS Mientras que la comida contaminada mata en toda la región europea a unas 5.000 personas al año, la chatarra comestible provoca anualmente, solo por enfermedades cardiovasculares, 2,1 millones de fallecimientos. ¿Te imaginas cuántos kilos de ultraprocesados consumimos al año? Ante una tragedia de tal magnitud, Julio Basulto justifica que si la palabra «mierda» se define como «cosa mal hecha o de mala calidad» (según la Real Academia Española de la Lengua), los comestibles de mala calidad nutricional debemos incluirlos también en dicho concepto. Come mierda aborda, por tanto, el gran tema alimentario de nuestros días. Explica la diferencia entre alimentos seguros e inocuos, nos empodera, desarma los tentáculos con que la Big Food promueve ambientes alimentarios que generan obesidad y enfermedades crónicas y demuestra que cuidarnos no significa solo comer mejor sino, sobre todo, dejar de comer peor. Reseñas:«Come mierda es un libro para que la población deje de comer lo que, según nos muestra Julio, come en demasiadas ocasiones.»Dra. María Neira, directora del Departamento de Salud Pública de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (@DrMariaNeira) «Comemos mierda, sí, y lo sabemos, pero Julio Basulto nos ofrece todos los datos y estudios científicos necesarios para que sepamos de forma fehaciente el por qué. Julio nos explica cómo, bajo una falsa sensación de seguridad, las multinacionales llevan años vendiendo productos malsanos, con la connivencia de las autoridades y nuestro desconocimiento. Habrá un antes y un después en tu forma de alimentarte cuando leas este libro.»Patricia Fernández de Lis, redactora jefa de Ciencia en El País (@pflis) «Pasión. Pasión es lo que hay en cada página de este libro. Pasión serena de un nutricionista no solo por la alimentación saludable o por la responsabilidad social. También pasión por la información contrastada y por los datos basados en la evidencia científica. Una pasión que, por aplastante, a veces resulta incómoda, pero que es necesaria para avanzar hacia una sociedad más sana, crítica y sostenible.»Carles Mesa, director del programa «No es un día cualquiera» en Radio Nacional de España (@CarlesMesa) «Todo lo que ha escrito Julio Basulto es de una calidad y utilidad enormes, que se sustenta en su impecable documentación científica, en su independencia, en su honestidad... y en una narración magnífica. Pero créanme, este libro es de imprescindible lectura en el momento actual del planeta y la sociedad. Con el mismo rigor de sus obras anteriores, nos muestra la magnitud de la "intoxicación" alimentaria, cómo identificarla y cómo combatirla. Leerlo, informarse bien y actuar es absolutamente urgente. Gracias Julio, por dar este importante paso a favor de la salud.»Dra. Clotilde Vázquez, jefa del Departamento de Endocrinología y Nutrición de la Fundación Jiménez Díaz (@VazquezDoctora) «Basulto desgrana en cada página los estudios que prueban que el consumo de ultraprocesados está generando una sociedad con mayor obesidad, menor esperanza de vida y más probabilidades de desarrollar enfermedades como el cáncer o la diabetes. Comemos mierda, pero creemos que "la vida es un suspiro" que lo merece: después de leer este libro te replantearás lo que te llevas a la boca con esa excusa y, más aún, aquello con lo que alimentamos a la infancia.»Clara Jiménez Cruz cofundadora y CEO de Maldita.es (@cjimenezcruz)
Mamá come sano: Alimentación saludable en el embarazo y la lactancia
by Julio BasultoEl embarazo y la lactancia son etapas maravillosas, pero repletas de dudas acerca de la dieta. ¿Influye la alimentación en mi fertilidad o en la de mi pareja? ¿Conviene recurrir a vitaminas, minerales, plantas medicinales, complementos alimenticios o fármacos? ¿Cuántas calorías debo tomar? ¿Cuánta agua tengo que beber? ¿Son un síntoma de peligro las náuseas u otras molestias típicas del embarazo? ¿Qué es ganar mucho (o poco) peso en el embarazo? ¿Cómo recupero la figura tras el parto? ¿Puedo ser vegetariana? ¿Es acaso una cuestión inextricable la alimentación en la lactancia? ¿Qué es (de verdad) una dieta sana?Julio Basulto aborda estas y muchas otras inquietudes, para ayudar al lector a formarse un criterio para elegir y decidir. Este libro no propone una dieta prodigiosa gracias a la cual tendremos un bebé extraordinario, recuperaremos el tipo rápidamente tras un parto fácil e indoloro, y produciremos abundante y nutritiva leche materna.

Se me hace bola: Cuando no comen como queremos que coman
by Julio BasultoUn enfoque diferente de la alimentación infantil para que la hora de la comida sea un momento feliz para niños y adultos. ¿Qué hacer cuando nuestro hijo come menos de lo que querríamos? ¿Debemos demorar la incorporación de alimentos potencialmente alergénicos? ¿Cómo lidiar con la atractiva y omnipresente oferta de alimentos superfluos y procesados? ¿Qué hacer para prevenir la cada vez más frecuente obesidad infantil? Utilizando una visión holística de la alimentación y analizándola desde diferentes prismas, Julio Basulto ha escrito una guía sencilla y efectiva, a la vez que científicamente documentada, para que los niños se alimenten de forma saludable.

Una obra indispensable en el hogar de cualquier madre o padre responsable.
Más vegetales, menos animales: Una alimentación más saludable y sostenible
by Julio Basulto Juanjo CáceresMás vegetales, menos animales aborda el tema de la alimentación vegetal, desmontando falsas creencias y proporcionando argumentos científicos que la avalan. La adopción de pautas alimentarias que dejan total o parcialmente de lado los productos de origen animal es considerada por la población, en ocasiones, una mera opción ideológica, carente de fundamento científico y hasta perniciosa para la salud. De entre dichas pautas, conocidas como «dietas basadas en plantas» (plant-based diets), destacan el vegetarianismo y el veganismo. Frente a ello, Julio Basulto y Juanjo Cáceres muestran por qué, de acuerdo con el conocimiento científico disponible, el patrón dietético que se relaciona con una mejor calidad de vida y, también, con una mayor esperanza de vida puede sintetizarse en la siguiente máxima: «Más vegetales, menos animales y nada o casi nada de carnes procesadas y alimentos superfluos». Los autores revisan también en esta obra aspectos históricos de la alimentación y de la hominización, desmintiendo que la alimentación basada en vegetales sea una moda reciente, así como las cuestiones ambientales, éticas e incluso económicas que avalan también optar por esta pauta dietética.

We Are Each Other's Harvest: Celebrating African American Farmers, Land, and Legacy
by Natalie BaszileA WALL STREET JOURNAL FAVORITE FOOD BOOK OF THE EARFrom the author of Queen Sugar—now a critically acclaimed series on OWN directed by Ava Duvernay—comes a beautiful exploration and celebration of black farming in America. In this impressive anthology, Natalie Baszile brings together essays, poems, photographs, quotes, conversations, and first-person stories to examine black people’s connection to the American land from Emancipation to today. In the 1920s, there were over one million black farmers; today there are just 45,000. Baszile explores this crisis, through the farmers’ personal experiences. In their own words, middle aged and elderly black farmers explain why they continue to farm despite systemic discrimination and land loss. The "Returning Generation"—young farmers, who are building upon the legacy of their ancestors, talk about the challenges they face as they seek to redress issues of food justice, food sovereignty, and reparations. These farmers are joined by other influential voices, including noted historians Analena Hope Hassberg and Pete Daniel, and award-winning author Clyde W. Ford, who considers the arrival of Africans to American shores; and James Beard Award-winning writers and Michael Twitty, reflects on black culinary tradition and its African roots. Poetry and inspirational quotes are woven into these diverse narratives, adding richness and texture, as well as stunning four-color photographs from photographers Alison Gootee and Malcom Williams, and Baszile’s personal collection. As Baszile reveals, black farming informs crucial aspects of American culture—the family, the way our national identity is bound up with the land, the pull of memory, the healing power of food, and race relations. She reminds us that the land, well-earned and fiercely protected, transcends history and signifies a home that can be tended, tilled, and passed to succeeding generations with pride. We Are Each Other’s Harvest elevates the voices and stories of black farmers and people of color, celebrating their perseverance and resilience, while spotlighting the challenges they continue to face. Luminous and eye-opening, this eclectic collection helps people and communities of color today reimagine what it means to be dedicated to the soil.

Tom Valenti's Soups, Stews, and One-Pot Meals
by Mario Batali Andrew Friedman Tom ValentiThis is the way we love to eat -- slowly braised, cut-with-a-spoon-tender meat resting in aromatic juices just waiting for the perfect piece of bread to come along and sop it up; a steaming bowl of chowder filled with chunks of fish and potatoes in rich broth laced with the smoky-sweet-salty flavor of bacon; a casserole that's spent some serious time in the oven as layer upon layer of creamy, soft cheese, pasta, herbs, and meat meld into a delectable whole. And as luck would have it, this is the way celebrated New York City chef Tom Valenti loves to cook. Considered Manhattan's grandmaster of comfort food, Valenti has made this beloved cooking his trademark. In fact, on any given night, you'll find him in his wildly successful Upper West Side restaurants Ouest and 'Cesca feeding the world's A-list -- Bill Clinton, Steven Spielberg, Charlie Rose, Jerry Seinfeld, Judy Collins, Joan Didion. Because, of course, this is the food they love to eat, too. In Tom Valenti's Soups, Stews, and One-Pot Meals, Valenti and coauthor Andrew Friedman dish up the flavor we've come to expect from a New York chef, without any of the fuss. This is food that gets better a day or two after it's made, food to make on the weekend and savor throughout a busy week, food that is perfect for dinner parties and family celebrations. Here are 125 realistic recipes for the home cook -- most made in one pot -- and all based on the fact that the right ingredients, left alone to cook in a single vessel with virtually no intervention from the cook, steadily build glorious flavor and leave far fewer pots to clean. The book includes "Variations" and "Tomorrow's Table," tips on ways to embellish a dish by adding vegetables or meats or provide economy by stretching it into another satisfying meal by simply adding another ingredient. Valenti and Friedman embrace what they term "cooking in the real world," encouraging home cooks to use canned stocks and beans whenever appropriate. They discuss key ingredients; offer a section on condiments, garnishes, and accompaniments; provide a list of mail-order sources; and recommend cookware (though you won't need a lot).

A Dismal Harvest
by Daisy BatemanAutumn on the Sonoma Coast.

Not to mention give her a chance to figure out the bewildering relationship budding with her craft-beer-brewing neighbor, Nathan. But rather than dealing with carefully curated food and cautious flirting, Claudia finds herself thrown into the center of a murder investigation when a secret compartment in her market is tied to the death of a local lawyer. At least this time she isn&’t the prime suspect. Instead, it&’s one of Claudia&’s marketplace tenants who is wanted by the police: the locally-famed cheesemaker, Julie Muller. Determined to help clear her friend&’s name—and to discover the history connecting her market to the murder victim—Claudia is forced to test her mettle as a detective once more. As she starts digging into San Elmo&’s long-buried past, she is confronted with Prohibition-era mysteries, shady land deals, and a small town bursting with motives to kill the crooked lawyer. But just as she thinks she&’s getting a handle on this investigating thing, another gruesome death brings Claudia dangerously close to the killer. The second installment in Daisy Bateman&’s Marketplace series delivers cozy mystery and charming humor as Claudia works to uncover the truth about the murders, her marketplace, and her feelings for her ruggedly attractive neighbor.
Murder Goes to Market
by Daisy BatemanIf you had asked computer programmer Claudia Simcoe what she expected to come of her leaving San Francisco for the California coast to open a farm-to-table marketplace, &“assembles a mismatched team to investigate a murder&” would not have been her first guess. Lori Roth is one of the tenants of the market, or she had been until Claudia learned that the hands making her &“hand-dyed&” textiles belong to overseas factory workers. Claudia terminates Lori&’s lease, but her hopes that this will be the last she sees of her problem tenant are dashed when she arrives at the marketplace the next morning to find Lori dead, hit over the head with a jar of pickles and strangled with a cheese wire. The police chief thinks Claudia looks like an easy pick to be the killer, and he closes the marketplace to put the pressure on her. So, Claudia has no choice but to solve the mystery herself. Relying on the tech skills from her previous life and some help from her quirky new friends, Claudia races to save her business and herself before the killer adds her to the region&’s local, artisanal murders.
