Findhorn Book of Vegetarian Recipes: New, Revised Edition of the Findhorn Family Cookbook Classic

Author: Kay Lynne Sherman

For over forty years the Findhorn Community in north Scotland has created delicious, healthy and creative vegetarian food for its members and guests.  The life within the food we eat nourishes more than just our bodies, and the vitality we receive is a measure of the love and care that has gone into its preparation.

Here is a collection of the favorite recipes that have been used and loved over the years, celebrating the pleasures of preparing food with love and joy. From the simplicity of sprouting alfalfa seeds through homemade bread and breakfast treats, to a range of vegetarian entrees and desserts and even a "proper tea party," this book offers recipes—and a perspective on the art of cooking—that have grown out of the community's experience. All the recipes have clear, easy-to-follow instructions and are in metric, imperial and American measurements. Illustrated with line drawings.

China to Chinatown: Chinese Food in the West, Vol. 1

Author: J A G Roberts

Globalities is a series which reinterprets world history in a concise yet thoughtful way, looking at major issues over large time-spans and political spaces; such issues can be political, ecological, scientific, technological or intellectual. Rather than adopting a narrow chronological or geographical approach, books in the series are conceptual in focus yet present an array of historical data to justify their arguments. They often involve a multi-disciplinary approach juxtaposing different subject-areas such as economics and religion or literature and politics.

Since Marco Polo first recorded his responses in 1275, the West's encounters with Chinese food have been a measure of the times. For Jesuit missionaries, eating the exotic food of the people was a way of understanding them; for the British merchants in the 19th-century treaty ports, Chinese cuisine was an object of suspicion. During the Cultural Revolution, food was political: despite widespread food shortages, lavish hospitality was used to influence the views of visiting intellectuals and politicians, while, for some, eating the meagre food of the Communist peasantry was a Western gesture of solidarity.

But how did a cuisine that, to the Western palate, admitted the inadmissible -- sharks' fins, dog's flesh, cats' eyes -- spread to the extent that there is now a Chinese restaurant or takeaway on every high street and a wok in every kitchen? In charting the first immigrant communities, Chinatowns and restaurants in Britain and North America and the gradual domestication of Chinese food, Roberts provides a brilliant analysis of how cultures assimilate and adapt, at times abandoning strict ethnic authenticity, in order to survive. Written in a lively and engaging style, this book will fascinate food gastronomes of every sort as well as specialists in Chinese culture.
