The History of Whiskey
In this beautiful volume, renowned whiskey educator Robin Robinson skillfully chronicles the dynamic evolution of whiskey. In the Middle Ages, monasteries distilled spirits initially to make medicine. After King Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries, production shifted from clergy to farmers, and the route to whiskey began. Over the centuries, taxes and prohibitions took their toll. In the 1700s and 1800s, as the British Empire colonized the globe, waves of European emigrants brought the beverage to Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and elsewhere. Surveying the evolution of Scotch, the birth of bourbon and rye, and the importance of family ties, quality control, corporatization, and marketing, this comprehensive compendium details the global impact of the beverage conglomerates, the world's most expensive Scotch, the 2011 curveball of aging bourbon in ex-port barrels, and more. With gorgeous art, including bottle shots and captivating archival imagery, this is an inviting tribute to your favorite dram.

Bibi the Cookbook
'In every dish, there is a story waiting to be tasted, a past that refuses to be forgotten, and a love that continues to nourish long after the last bite is gone.' - Trevor NoahThe debut cookbook from the lauded chef behind BiBi, the innovative and groundbreaking Indian restaurant in London beloved by critics and customers alike.Chet Sharma began his career as an academic before working as a development chef for many of the world's best restaurants, from Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain, to Moor Hall in West Lancashire, in the north of England. When the time came to open his own restaurant, his heritage and background provided the inspiration for BiBi, the name being a term used affectionately throughout India to mean 'lady of the house', or grandmother. Yet his food is much more than an homage to authentic Indian cuisine. 'Our food doesn't necessarily look Indian on the plate, ' Chet says. 'It's modern and progressive, but if an Indian grandmother walked into the dining room and tasted a dish, she would still understand its roots.'Sharma's much anticipated debut cookbook weaves together recipes for 60 of his exquisitely detailed signature dishes with a series of personal essays that explore his memories of the Indian subcontinent and the personalities and dishes of his heritage. Readers will discover iconic dishes from the restaurant's repertoire, including 'Nimbu Pani', 'Wookey-hole cheese papad, ' and the signature 'Sharmaji's Lahori Chicken', as well as some of Chet's playful takes on traditional Indian dishes, such as 'Seekh Kebabs' and 'Alphonso Mango Lassi'. A substantial 'Essentials' section presents recipes for BiBi's bespoke masalas, stocks, and other core components of the restaurant's unique menu.BiBi The Cookbook also features reflections on the restaurant from some of its most esteemed guests, including Andoni Aduriz, Aziz Ansari, Mark Birchall, Ryan Chetiyawardana, Brett Graham, Tom Kerridge, Henrietta Lovell & Richard Hart, Trevor Noah, Olly Smith, and Hans Zimmer.

The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook
Although most Americans have heard of sugar plums thanks to the famous holiday poem A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore, many have likely never have had the pleasure of tasting one of these luxuries, or even know what they really are (hint: they are not sugar-dusted plums). This is because sugar plums are one of the Gilded Age era holiday sweets that got eclipsed as America moved into the twentieth century. But The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook will bridge the past and present, bringing back sugar plums and other confections not typically found in modern cookbooks, while revisiting some beloved favorites. With origins that date back to the nineteenth century and even earlier, the recipes in The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook have been adapted for today's ingredients and appliances, allowing cooks to recreate them in their own modern kitchens. Each recipe will provide a colorful glimpse into the era, featuring the fascinating history behind each cookie, its ingredients and baking methods. There will also be sidebars throughout, offering tidbits of Christmas lore of the era. A perfect gift to bring sparkle to the holiday season for anyone who enjoys food, history, culture and Christmas traditions, The Gilded Age Christmas Cookbook is a unique way to revitalize any baker's holiday repertoire while looking to past foodways for inspiration. With all the opulence and enchanting allure of the Victorian period, this nostalgic book is chock-full of delicious holiday treats.
Vanilla
The fascinating and wide-ranging history of vanilla, from the sixteenth century to today Vanilla is one of the most expensive of flavorings--so valuable that it was smuggled or stolen by pirates in the early days--and yet it is everywhere. It is a key ingredient in dishes ranging from cr癡me br羶l矇e to Japanese purin. It is the quintessential ice cream flavor in the United States. Eric T. Jennings explains how the world's only edible orchid, originally endemic to Central America, became embedded in the international culinary and cultural landscape. In tracing vanilla's rise, Jennings describes how in the 1840s an enslaved boy named Edmond Albius discovered a way to pollinate vanilla orchids with a toothpick or needle--an ingenious process that is still in use. This method transformed the vanilla sector by enabling the plant to be grown outside of its natural range. Jennings also looks at how the vanilla craze led to the search for now-pervasive substitutes, and how a vanilla lobby has fought back. He further unravels how vanilla--the world's most expensive crop and once considered its most refined fragrance--came to mean "bland." This tale of botany, production techniques, consumption habits, and colonial rivalry connects the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, revealing how vanilla has become a potent symbol of the modern global village.
Food Fight
"Scholarly, literate and deeply moving, this isn't just a good read, it's an essential reference for anyone hoping to understand the food system, why it's broken and how we might imagine fixing it."--Chris Van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People Food is life but our food system is killing us. Designed in a different century for a different purpose--to mass-produce cheap calories to prevent famine--it's now generating obesity, ill-health and premature death. We need to transform it, into one that is capable of nourishing all eight billion of us and the planet we live on. In Food Fight, Stuart Gillespie reveals how the food system we once relied upon for global nutrition has warped into the very thing making us sick. From its origins in colonial plunder, through the last few decades of neoliberalism, the system now lies in the tight grip of a handful of powerful transnationals whose playbook is geared to profit at any cost. Both unflinching expos矇 and revolutionary call to arms, Food Fight shines a light inside the black box of politics and power and, crucially, maps a way towards a new system that gives us hope for a future of global health and justice.
