Les pirates des Caraïbes avaient imaginé le Draque, l'ancêtre du Mojito, dès le 16e siècle. Et les marins anglais, aidés des Amérindiens, avaient inventé le Punch avant que la Marine anglaise songe elle-même au Gin Fizz et au Gin Tonic pour guérir ses troupes. Aux États-Unis, les bars clandestins, les speakeasies, qui ont proliféré à l'époque de la prohibition ont mis à la mode certaines mixtures, souvent pour camoufler le goût douteux de l'alcool frelaté qu'on y servait.

Efter en urspårad kväll på Operakällaren förs Mons Kallentoft akut till sjukhus. Medan läkarna kämpar för att rädda hans liv ställer han sig frågan: Varför har jag levt mitt liv på det här viset? Restaurangerna, dryckerna och maten har fått Mons att spendera en förmögenhet och försaka nästan allt i ett maniskt sökande efter den ultimata smakkicken, från rykande stånd med gatumat i Bangkok till femstjärniga krogar i New York. I Food Junkie är gastronomi på liv och död, ett sätt att fly och söka en sanning om sig själv.

Il movimento futurista è nato col famoso "Manifesto del futurismo" agli inizi del Novecento. Il manifesto fu scritto da Filippo Tommaso Marinetti con la promessa di un cambiamento totale della società, trasformazione che ne esaltasse il progresso e la velocità. I futuristi si sarebbero quindi espressi in maniera totale, dalle arti visive alla musica, organizzando serate futuriste e arrivando a influenzare il modo di vestire e di vivere, persino le abitudini alimentari di parte della popolazione.

Perché gli Italiani mangiano la pasta al dente? La "tempura" è davvero un'invenzione giapponese? Perché la pizza ha conquistato il mondo? E perché il sushi ha conquistato noi? E cosa c'entrano il baccalà con il Concilio di Trento e il caffè con la nascita delle compagnie di assicurazioni? Sono alcuni degli argomenti affrontati da questo libro. Tradizioni gastronomiche, modi di cuocere il cibo, maniere di comportarsi a tavola, passioni, repulsioni, valori estetici, tipicità, territori, sono altrettanti specchi del rapporto che gli uomini hanno con se stessi.

Meg Muckenhoupt begins with a simple question: When did Bostonians start making Boston Baked Beans? Storekeepers in Faneuil Hall and Duck Tour guides may tell you that the Pilgrims learned a recipe for beans with maple syrup and bear fat from Native Americans, but in fact, the recipe for Boston Baked Beans is the result of a conscious effort in the late 19th century to create New England foods.

The cooking lessons that stick with us are rarely the ones we read in books or learn through blog posts or YouTube videos (depending on your generation); they're the ones we pick up as we spend time with good cooks in the kitchen.

Despite that dismal introduction, Smith developed a fascination with okra, and as he researched the plant and began to experiment with it in his own kitchen, he discovered an amazing range of delicious ways to cook and eat it, along with ingenious and surprising ways to process the plant from tip-to-tail: pods, leaves, flowers, seeds, and stalks. Smith talked okra with chefs, food historians, university researchers, farmers, homesteaders, and gardeners.

A gripping examination of the dark side of an iconic American product and a moving portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its fractured fortune, JELL-O Girls is a family history, a feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love, and loss. In crystalline prose, Rowbottom considers the roots of trauma not only in her own family, but in the American psyche as well, ultimately weaving a story that is deeply personal, as well as deeply connected to the collective female experience.
