Cooking Culture
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". The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

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.

Delicioso
Spanish cuisine is a melting-pot of cultures, flavors, and ingredients: Greek and Roman; Jewish, Moorish, and Middle Eastern. It has been enriched by Spanish climate, geology, and spectacular topography, which have encouraged a variety of regional food traditions and "Cocinas," such as Basque, Galician, Castilian, Andalusian, and Catalan. It has been shaped by the country's complex history, as foreign occupations brought religious and cultural influences that determined what people ate and still eat. And it has continually evolved with the arrival of new ideas and foodstuffs from Italy, France, and the Americas, including cocoa, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, and chili peppers. Having become a powerhouse of creativity and innovation in recent decades, Spanish cuisine has placed itself among the best in the world. This is the first book in English to trace the history of the food of Spain from antiquity to the present day. From the use of pork fat and olive oil to the Spanish passion for eggplants and pomegranates, Mar穩a Jos矇 Sevilla skillfully weaves together the history of Spanish cuisine, the circumstances affecting its development and characteristics, and the country's changing relationship to food and cookery.

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.
