Good morning, and yes, you heard me right this is part two of our Christmas Gift Guide 2021; Part Two: Cookbooks as I received enough Cookbooks to bring you two Guides. Thank the LORD for the generosity of the Authors and there agents. Charlie will be rocking his Homeschool Cooking Class next year. Stand by to see what all Charlie makes using these Cookbooks and why.
Sourdough Culture: A History of Bread Making from Ancient to Modern Bakers
Sourdough bread fueled the labor that built the Egyptian pyramids. The Roman Empire distributed free Sourdough loaves to its citizens to maintain political stability. More recently, amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic, Sourdough Bread baking became a global phenomenon as people contended with being confined to their homes and sought distractions from their fear, uncertainty, and grief. In Sourdough Culture, environmental Science Professor Eric Pallant shows how throughout History, Sourdough Bread baking has always been about survival.
Sourdough Culture presents the History and rudimentary Science of Sourdough Bread baking from its discovery more than six thousand years ago to its still-recent displacement by the innovation of dough-mixing machines and fast-acting yeast. Pallant traces the tradition of Sourdough across Continents, from its origins in the Middle East’s Fertile Crescent to Europe and then around the world.
Pallant also explains how Sourdough fed some of History’s most significant figures, such as Plato, Pliny the Elder, Louis Pasteur, Marie Antoinette, Martin Luther, and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, and introduces the lesser-known—but equally important—individuals who relied on Sourdough bread for sustenance: ancient Roman bakers, Medieval housewives, Gold Rush miners, and the many, many others who have produced daily Sourdough Bread in anonymity.
Each chapter of Sourdough Culture is accompanied by a selection from Pallant’s own favorite recipes, which span millennia and traverse Continents, and highlight an array of approaches, traditions, and methods to Sourdough Bread baking. Sourdough Culture is a rich, informative, engaging read, especially for bakers—whether skilled or just beginners. More importantly, it tells the important and dynamic story of the Bread that has fed the world.
Charcuteria The Soul of Spain Second Edition Jeffery Weiss
2015 James Beard Award nominee
2015 Gourmand World Cookbook Award nominee
An updated and redesigned edition of Charcutería: The Soul of Spain, the first and best book to introduce authentic Spanish butchering and meat-curing techniques to America.
Charcutería features more than 100 traditional Spanish recipes, straightforward illustrations providing easy-to-follow steps for amateur and professional butchers, and gorgeous full-color photography of savory dishes, Iberian Country sides, and Centuries-old Spanish Cityscapes.
Jeffrey Weiss has written an entertaining, extravagantly detailed guide on Spanish Charcuterie, which is deservedly becoming more celebrated on the global stage. While Spain stands cheek-to-jowl with other great cured-meat-producing Nations like Italy and France, the unique Charcuterie traditions of Spain are perhaps the least understood of this trifecta.
Too many Americans have most likely never tasted the sheer eye-rolling deliciousness that is cured Spanish Meats: Chorizo, the Garlic-and-Pimentón-spiked ambassador of Spanish cuisine; Morcilla, the family of Blood Sausages flavoring regional cuisine from Barcelona to Badajoz; and Jamón, the acorn-scented, modern-day crown jewel of Spain’s Charcutería legacy.
Charcutería is a collection of delicious recipes, uproarious anecdotes, and time-honored Spanish Cuisine and Culinary traditions. The author has amassed years of experience working with the cured Meat traditions of Spain, and this updated edition will continue to be a standard guide for both professional and home cooks.
