Waste

About this book

In "Waste," Stuart points out that farmers, manufacturers, supermarkets, and consumers in North America and Europe discard between 30 and 50 percent of their food supplies--enough to feed all the world's hungry three times over. Traveling from China to New York, from Pakistan to Japan, Stuart encounters grotesque examples of profligacy--but also inspiring innovations--to the global food crisis.

Cover of Cook Brazilian

Cook Brazilian

Leticia Moreinos Schwartz

Like its soccer and samba, beautiful beaches and carnival, Brazilian cooking is an explosion of colour and flavour. Leticia Moreinos Schwartz spending her childhood in Rio's iconic neighbourhood Ipanema grew up eating Caldinho de Feijao all day and drinking fresh coconut water on the beach. When she moved to New York she found she was homesick for the colour and vibrancy of the food she grew up with. Cooking for herself, she went back to the Brigadeiros and Baba de Moca of her childhood but found that her palate had changed. Leticia reconstructed classic Brazilian dishes, using the skills she had gained whilst working in some of the world's best kitchens. The dishes are a little lighter and less sweet to fit with modern health-conscious lifestyles, and are easier to recreate at home. The result is this groundbreaking collection of easy-to-make, easy-to-love recipes. With simple techniques and clear directions, dishes like Salmon no Risotto de Caipirinha (Salmon over a Caipirinha Risotto) and Bolinho Quente de Doce de Leite com Sorbet de Coalhada (Molten Dulce de Leche Cake with a Sour Cream Sorbet) will become part of your everyday cooking repertoire and bring a welcome Copocabana-born breeze into every home kitchen.

A stew or a story

gathered and introduced by Joan Reardon

"A Stew or a Story covers five decades of Fisher's writing for such notable publications as Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Bazaar, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Ladies' Home Journal, and Vogue. But collected here also are articles nearly impossible to find from lesser-known, more ephemeral magazines. Essays on people, places, and of course food, mix here with delightful fiction to become a delectable feast."--Jacket.

How to feed friends and influence people

Milton Parker and Allyn Freeman

"How to Feed Friends and Influence People tells the story of the little deli that became one of New York City's biggest attractions. World renown for its absurdly large "gargantuan" sandwiches, the Carnegie Deli is more than a restaurant with a good gimmick - it's a family business that succeeded thanks to tried-and-true business principles." "The book also features original recipes from the Deli's kitchens - including chopped liver, Brooklyn egg cream, brisket of beef, and matzoh ball soup."--Jacket.
