Confronting the Blue Revolution
by Saidul IslamLike the Green Revolution of the 1960s, a "Blue Revolution" has taken place in global aquaculture. Geared towards quenching the appetite of privileged consumers in the global North, it has come at a high price for the South: ecological devastation, displacement of rural subsistence farmers, and labour exploitation. The uncomfortable truth is that food security for affluent consumers depends on a foundation of social and ecological devastation in the producing countries.In Confronting the Blue Revolution, Md Saidul Islam uses the shrimp farming industry in Bangladesh and across the global South to show the social and environmental impact of industrialized aquaculture. The book pushes us to reconsider our attitudes to consumption patterns in the developed world, neoliberal environmental governance, and the question of sustainability.
The World in a Wineglass: The Insider's Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now
by Ray IsleFood & Wine editor Ray Isle does for wine what Michael Pollan&’s The Omnivore&’s Dilemma did for food—showing readers how to choose more delicious, interesting, and environmentally friendly wines without breaking the bank.So much of today&’s wine is mass-produced, industrially farmed, corporate-owned, and essentially, ordinary. In The World in a Wineglass, veteran wine writer Ray Isle explains that the way a wine is made, and who made it, can make a huge difference when you drink it—and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Or that it tastes like blueberries. Or &“hints of violets and black pepper.&” Drawing on his deep knowledge and genuine appreciation of winemaking, Isle takes us on a tour of several hundred independently owned wineries around the world—everywhere from France&’s Burgundy to Oregon&’s Willamette Valley to the Itata Valley in the southern reaches of Chile—bringing the local vintners to life and describing the different wines they produce in vivid detail. Isle&’s enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford, rather than $500 rarities, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today. Whether you prefer a hearty cabernet, a crisp chardonnay, or something more off the beaten path, Ray Isle&’s affable, accessible guide to finding unusual or undiscovered varieties offers a window into a whole new fascinating world for wine lovers everywhere.

by Tariq Ismail Saeed Akhtar Claudia E. LazarteAccording to the global hunger index, South Asia has worldwide highest rate of undernourished people.

Recent updates on strategies to combat toxicological risks associated with the consumption of neglected food plants have also been included. With this volume, researchers will have complete information on neglected, underutilized traditional edible plants of South Asia, and their potential to increase food security under the emerging challenges of climate change.

Here are tips on making foods that store well, organizing storage space, the best containers to use for different foods, what store-bought items to have on hand, etc.The first section, “Make-Ahead Bentos,” features recipes for a wide variety of dishes that can be prepared the night before or first thing in the morning. Here are different kinds of meatballs and burgers, including both Western versions and Japanese variations; mouth-watering chicken, pork, beef, egg and fish dishes; a section on “Tofu and Vegan” treats such as Ginger Tofu Teriyaki and Green Lentils and Brown Rice; and recipes for Rice Sandwiches such as Egg-wrapped Rice Sandwich with Bacon Rice Filling. A special section of Low Carb recipes based on shirataki noodles and konnyaku (konjac) offers fun and creative ways to use this no-cal, no-carb, no-sugar, gluten-free “miracle” noodle in dishes like Rice and Shirataki Pilaf with Shrimp, Shirataki Chicken “Ramen” in a Lunch Jar, and Shirataki with Sesame.“Express Bentos” presents very quick-to-assemble boxes comprised of foods that don’t require detailed recipes and don’t rely on pre-homemade items. From Mediterranean Pasta and Yakisoba bentos to a Deconstructed Taco Salad and Stir-fry Bento, the ideas here will prove to be lifesavers for busy people who need to get out of the house in a hurry but still want their flavorful, filling, and healthy lunch.Other new and exciting additions to this second volume include an entire section of recipes for Vegetable Side Dishes (Roast Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar, Spicy Broccoli, and Potato and Corn Salad), and one for Japanese Vegetable Side Dishes (Buttery Kabocha Squash, Crunchy Stir-fried Soy Beans, Hijiki Seaweed with Garlic).

Las 202 mejores recetas de El Comidista
by Mikel López IturriagaQuerido cocinillas, aquí tienes Las 202 mejores recetas de El Comidista. ¿A qué esperas?Cuando cojas este libro, te preguntarás: "¿Tengo en las manos una nueva obra maestra de El Comidista?". Pues sí, la tienes, o al menos eso dice su autor, que es de Bilbao. También dice, quizá con más razón, que este libro solucionará algunos de esos dramas que se desatan cuando llegas a casa y no tienes ni la menor idea de qué cocinar. Porque otra cosa no, pero recetas fáciles, rápidas y apetecibles tiene unas cuantas, explicadas de tal forma que hasta el más megatorpe con las cazuelas pueda ponerlas en práctica.Pero claro, no podía ser un libro SOLO de recetas: El Comidista revela todos sus trucos para preparar el caldo definitivo, para usar las hierbas aromáticas o para sobrellevar el peor de los resacones. Propone listas de ingredientes que debes almacenar en la despensa si quieres cocinar platos indios, chinos o japoneses, además de recordarte qué frutas y verduras hay que comprar en cada estación. Y, por supuesto, ofrece un alto en los momentos álgidos del consultorio psicogastronómico más perturbado de internet: "Aló, Comidista".Este libro te enseñará tres o cuatro fundamentos para manejarte en la cocina, conseguirá que te lleves al huerto a algún ligue tras conquistarle por el estómago, hará que tus padres dejen de verte como un bicho raro y, en definitiva, convertirá tu vida en un espectáculo de luz y sonido. Pero atención, El Comidista advierte: "Eso si te salen bien las recetas, claro. Si no, ya sabes que la culpa es siempre tuya por no saber qué es rehogar, por conservar las sartenes roñosas de la abuela o por haberte puesto como La Moñoño a vino mientras cocinabas". Amén.
La cocina pop de El Comidista
by Mikel López IturriagaLa cocina pop es el último invento de El Comidista, uno de los blogs gastronómicos más populares de España. Es pop porque relaciona la comida con el cine, la música, la televisión, la moda o la publicidad. Y también es pop porque las recetas son tan fáciles y directas como una canción de los Ramones o un episodio de Juego de Tronos.Este libro recoge el particular universo del blog y lo amplía con fotos y nuevas secciones como las "Antiguías", los "Menús para ver series" o las recetas de artistas invitados. También actualiza sus delirantes entrevistas a platos viejunos y selecciona lo mejor del consultorio culinario más estrambótico, "Aló, Comidista".Mikel López Iturriaga practica una particular "cocina de autor" que mezcla recetas deliciosas y consejos prácticos un tanto irreverentes. Lo fundamental para disfrutar de la comida no es invertir mucho tiempo ni dinero en costosos ingredientes o preparaciones sofisticadas absurdas. Sólo es necesario tener ganas de divertirse... y un libro como éste.

Steeped in Heritage: The Racial Politics of South African Rooibos Tea
by Sarah Fleming IvesSouth African rooibos tea is a commodity of contrasts. Renowned for its healing properties, the rooibos plant grows in a region defined by the violence of poverty, dispossession, and racism. And while rooibos is hailed as an ecologically indigenous commodity, it is farmed by people who struggle to express “authentic” belonging to the land: Afrikaners, who espouse a “white” African indigeneity, and “coloureds,” who are characterized either as the mixed-race progeny of “extinct” Bushmen or as possessing a false identity, indigenous to nowhere. In Steeped in Heritage Sarah Ives explores how these groups advance alternate claims of indigeneity based on the cultural ownership of an indigenous plant. This heritage-based struggle over rooibos shows how communities negotiate landscapes marked by racial dispossession within an ecosystem imperiled by climate change and precarious social relations in the postapartheid era.
