Cooking Culture
Winner of a Gourmand Food Culture Book Award 2025 - 1st place in Africa category In this open access book, Stephen Wooten offers a holistic historical ethnography of cooking and female agency in West Africa, and of the broader cultural and historical significance of women's culinary agency. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and extensive ethnographic research, Stephen Wooten documents and theorizes Malian women's culinary agency. He finds that their cooking not only transforms raw ingredients into cooked fare, providing essential physical nourishment, but also helps foster fundamental values, facilitate elemental family and community dynamics, and reproduce gender identities and relations. These findings shed light on the cultural productivity of cooking within a specific African context and foster a deeper appreciation for the significance of culinary dynamics more broadly. The study makes important contributions to the fields of African studies, anthropology, and "everyday studies".

Cuisine Ni癟oise
Nice may conjure up the very essence of sophisticated chic - The Promenade des Anglais, the Hotel Negresco and the casinos - but its culinary traditions are all about simplicity, perhaps best expressed by an old Nicoise saying: 'fish are born in water and die in oil'. Ni癟oise cuisine is the food of the Mediterranean. It is not only a delight to the palate, but is known to have many health benefits. Its recipes are in tune with the natural cycle of the year using in-season fruits, herbs and vegetables, as well as plenty of fish. But the majority of the recipes are merely guides - unless you are baking - offering a relaxed flexibility with ingredients and seasonings suited to cooks of all levels of experience. The Ni癟oise pantry is stocked with the best quality extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, fresh garlic and pots of aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and basil. This, Jacques M矇decin's legendary book, first published in 1972 and now reissued for the first time in hardback offers an infectiously enthusiastic guide to the cookery of his city. As well as explaining how to make genuine salade ni癟oise (that most betrayed of Ni癟ois dishes) he lures the reader into the wonderful enticing world of tians, panisses, socca, and ganses. While not everyone will be able to dine alfresco under an olive tree, the way they do in Nice, this classic cookbook will at least allow you to recreate the city's best-loved dishes.

How the Banana Goes to Heaven
About the BookA BOOK ABOUT THE HIDDEN BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS COMMONLY FOUND IN MOST INDIAN KITCHENS.Did you know that a couple of bananas a day can lower your blood pressure? That nineteenth century sailors used to eat potatoes to fight scurvy? That Ayurveda considers rice the perfect healing food? That George Bernard Shaw was a brinjal-loving vegetarian? That turmeric could be anti-carcinogenic? That urad dal is an aphrodisiac?Ratna Rajaiah takes a walk down memory lane, only to find it redolent with the aromas of her mother's and grandmother's kitchens, and lined with the spices and condiments of her youth. Pausing often, she meets old culinary friends - coconuts and chillies, mangoes and jackfruit, ragi and channa dal, ghee and jaggery, mustard seeds and curry leaves - and introduces us to almost-forgotten joys, like the sight of steaming kanji or the scent of freshly cut ginger. Taking detours, she shares recipes for old favourites (often with a surprising twist!) and reveals delightful slivers of trivia and fascinating nuggets of gastronomic history.Delving deep, she discovers that traditional fare is much more than comfort food (many local ingredients are health-giving and healing too!) and that much of what the West is discovering about herbs and spices has been known to our ancestors for centuries.An unabashed and wonderful ode to the blessings of simple, traditional vegetarian food.About the AuthorRatna Rajaiah has worked in advertising, television and journalism. She has written for publications like The Hindu, India Today and Mid-Day. Her column, 'New Age Living', in the New Indian Express was an attempt to revisit ancient wisdoms like Ayurveda, yoga, spirituality and traditional foods, and make them relevant to modern living. The success of that column led to the conception of this book.
French Kitchen Lessons
With rich and transporting photography, a back-to-basics approach to French cooking, and an inspiring story of starting over, French Kitchen Lessons is your passport to the abundance and beauty of the French countryside. In 2010, Cat Bude and her husband left their jobs in the Pacific Northwest, packed up their house and kids and moved to Normandy, France. Uprooted and longing for connection, the search for a home base began. They found that and more in the form of a run-down, rambling farmhouse, overrun with wild rabbits. Now restored, and lovingly named Rabbit Hill Farm, this is the center of Cat's world, and her vehicle for sharing the joys of country life with others, from guided market trips to lavender harvest parties, and cooking classes. Following the seasons, French Kitchen Lessons begins with classic French staples like sauces, and stocks, then teaches you how to create simple, satisfying, and elegant dishes like Steamed Mussels with Pernod, Summer Vegetable Tian, a Wild Mushroom Omelet, Cider-Braised Pork, and Lemon Poppy Seed Cr礙pes--all inspired by the French market-to-table tradition. Finding a common language in food and feeding others, French Kitchen Lessons is a celebration of food, farm life, and the seasons-not only the seasons of the year, but the seasons of life: starting over, finding your place, and creating new connections.

As busy fathers, Mike and Steve have also learned that thinking ahead is key. Their secret: a strategically stocked pantry. Then it's nothing, for example, to slather amba from a jar onto a spatchcocked chicken for an almost-instant roast chicken dinner, or to cook a leg of lamb coated with harissa (also from a jar!) in one pot--on a school night! When they make soups, with all the intense flavors they use at the restaurant, they make a lot of soup, always thinking of the freezer and those busy nights when there's no time to cook.Even more than Zahav, their trailblazing first book, Zahav Home is a truly intimate affair--an invitation right into Mike's and Steve's home kitchens, with recipes tried and tested by them and their families.

Mazel Tov!
Mazel Tov is a collection of Jewish recipes and profiles of celebrated chefs from around the world. The book divides 21 chefs into 3 regional groups: Middle East, Old World, and New World. American readers may recognize chefs Molly Yeh (Girl Meets Farm, Food Network), Leah Koenig (author of "The Jewish Cookbook" et al.), and Adeena Sussman (author of "Sababa" and "Cravings" with Chrissy Teigen). Mazel Tov will introduce readers to potentially unfamiliar names, such as the Ardinast brothers in Germany, Gil Havov in Israel, and Jacob Kenedy in London. Each profile tells the story of how these chefs came to cooking. They talk about the people in their lives who influenced their cooking most, or how the region provides ingredients that give their recipes a new twist. The book includes recipes for pickles, breads, and gefilte fish. Some dishes and accompaniments, like pan cooked fish and sauces, are influenced by Tunisian and Yemeni grandmothers. Other recipes include zhug, kubaneh, carrot salad, gefilte fish, kreplach, borscht, pickles, many with little tweaks and updates from the chef. What sets these recipes apart from traditional Jewish recipes are the multicultural chefs who modernize them with current popular ingredients or flavors. Their regional influences create inspiration for home cooks in the US to try updated versions of popular traditional recipes. The book also introduces traditional Jewish dishes from regions that might not be familiar to American Jewish tables. The recipes are not kosher, but can be adapted. Perfect for blended families.
