Like champagne, oysters from this region are protected by geographic distinction laws, with some even getting initials lasered into their shells, to preserve their prestige.

This book's stunning features include: Full-color paintings, vintage advertisements, and archival photographs.Intriguing insights into the biology, reproduction, and cultivation of oysters.Sumptuous travelogs to renowned oyster restaurants and oyster farms.Unique backmatter: A glorious guide to global oyster varieties, with drawings and descriptions of each specimen.

The Heart-Shaped Tin
One August day, months after her marriage abruptly ended, a heart-shaped baking tin fell at Bee Wilson's feet: the same one she had used to bake her wedding cake twenty-three years prior. This discovery struck a wave of emotions that propelled her search for others who have attached magical and personal properties to the objects in their kitchens.Wilson's best-selling Consider the Fork considered how kitchen items changed the way we eat; in The Heart-Shaped Tin, she delves into how these objects change the way we live. She meets people who open up about a favorite wooden spoon, a salt shaker inherited from a parent, and a vintage corkscrew collection. Our beloved items become powerful symbols of identity and memory, representing friendship, grief, love, superstition, safety, and even political resistance. Crossing continents, cultures, and time periods, Wilson deftly moves between a 5,000-year-old bottle for drinking chocolate and her children's favorite melon baller; a metal spoon made by a Holocaust survivor and her mother's silver-plated toast rack; a bombarded Ukrainian kitchen cabinet and her grandfather's Wedgwood teapot. In telling these stories, she comes to terms with her grief over the dissolution of her marriage and the loss of her mother after a battle with dementia. The heart-shaped tin, in the end, becomes a moving reminder of the power of new beginnings.Thoughtful, tender, and beautifully written, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a celebration of the fundamentally human urge to keep mementos, even in an increasingly rational age. It will change the way you look at both precious family heirlooms and humble household objects.
The Flexitarian Cookbook
Do you want to adopt a more FLEXIBLE approach to your diet? Looking for less of a rigid regime, and more of an ORGANIC way to eat a mainly VEGETARIAN diet? Delve into this collection of DELICIOUS, MODERN, VEGETARIAN recipes, with simple options for switching in meat or fish as the mood takes you. Many of us are looking to eat less meat and/or fish, as the host of environmental, ethical, and health-related reasons for doing so stacks up. The concept of not centring every meal around an animal-based protein is well on its way to settling into mainstream society. But out there, there is a whole middle-ground of home-cooks, placed somewhere between carnivore and vegan, who are doing their best to reduce meat consumption, but enjoying it on occasion when the urge strikes; the flexitarians. Recipes include a warm curried lentil salad with crispy paneer and spiced dressing, but the paneer can be swapped for crispy prawns/shrimp if you are looking to add some more protein. A winter vegetable stew with herbed dumplings is substantial enough on its own, but this cookbook gives the option to add slow-cooked beef cheeks, if you like. A best-ever recipe for vegetable and lentil moussaka offers the option to swap the lentils for regular mince/ground meat, while the Moroccan spiced vegetable tagine gives an option for cooking with chicken, if the mood so takes you.

Deep Raw
This book, published by Maretti Editore and curated by Sara Favilla, with photographs by Lido Vannucchi, delves into some of the key pillars of chef Edoardo Tilli's philosophy. These principles are developed and practiced daily in the kitchen of his restaurant, Podere Belvedere, in the province of Florence. Tilli goes beyond discussing ingredients like meat; he deeply explores pressing contemporary issues such as animal breeding and feeding, the concept of respecting a healthy life that adheres to standards of wholesomeness, and justifying the sacrifice of animals to obtain better quality meat, processed without waste. Tilli's vision is forward-looking while rooted in the past, seeking answers and examples to revive social and cultural practices, beginning with the pleasures of eating. Text in English and Italian.

Queers at the Table
An anthology of essays, comics, and recipes that reveals the dynamic and transformative relationship between queerness and foodFood has long played an important role in queer culture. Lesbian- and queer women-run feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses have been safe spaces for queer and trans folk where gender norms can be challenged and where female authority is legitimized. During the AIDS epidemic, gay men and their allies centered food as an expression of collective care for those who needed it most. And queer and trans folk have asserted themselves in a restaurant culture largely controlled by white cisgender men.Queers at the Table celebrates the various intersections between queers and food. In its essays, comics, and recipes, the book shows how this shared culture fosters connections, defies norms, honours legacies, and creates community. Taylor Hartson and Tristian Lee write about a queer farming community in which queerness is part of a broad network of living things to be enjoyed and shared; Danielle Kydd writes about food security issues as faced by LGBTQ2S+ folk; and Blue Delliquanti's comic on urban foraging in Minneapolis demonstrates the role of a queer friend group in a local ecosystem.In full color throughout, Queers at the Table is a diverse and enriching anthology that reveals the myriad nurturing ways that queerness informs food production and restaurant culture and how food empowers, transforms, and unites queer and trans folk.
Care Fully
What role do critical making, critical pedagogy and experiential inquiry play in supporting equity and justice? In considering the role of care in reimaging power, who is responsible for the care, labor, and power of ancestral and community stories, histories, and affect? Moreover, how does gender intersect with care? As seen with the capacities of cookbooks, how can systems and manners of knowing more equitably and critically enable exploration, learning, and care to reimagine power (of care, literacy, and justice) and knowledge (production, recognition, and legitimacy)?Born out of an anti-dissertation, Care Fully: Critical Care through Making with Food performs as a cookbook, working in collaboration with food makers from Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, to explore the gendered labor of making with food, the burden and responsibility of care labor, and the capitalization and fetishized commodification of care.

Unpalatable
The cookbook genre is highly conventional with an orientation toward celebration and success. From glossy photographs to heartwarming stories and adjective-rich ingredient lists, the cookbook tradition primes readers for pleasure. Yet the overarching narrative of the region is often one of pain, loss, privation, exploitation, poverty, and suffering of various kinds. While some cookbook writers go to great lengths to avoid reminding readers of this painful past, others invoke that pain as a marker of southern authenticity. Still others use stories of southern suffering as an opportunity to make space for reconciliation, reparation, or apology for past wrongs. In Unpalatable: Stories of Pain and Pleasure in Southern Cookbooks, author Carrie Helms Tippen attempts to understand the unique rhetorical situation of the southern cookbook as it negotiates a tension between the expectations of the genre and the prevailing metanarratives of the southern experience, one focused on pleasure and the other rooted in pain. Through an analysis of commercially published "southern" cookbooks from the 1990s to the present, Tippen examines the range of rhetorical purposes and strategies writers have employed, some of which undermine the reality of a painful past and cause harm or violence, and others which serve as tools for truth and reconciliation.
