Daniel Duane was a good guy, but he wasn't what you might call domestic. Yet when he became a father, this avid outdoorsman was increasingly stuck at home, trying to do his part in the growing household. Inept at so many tasks associated with an infant daughter, he decided to take on dinner duty. He had a few tricks: pasta, soy-sauce-heavy stir-fry... actually, those were his only two tricks. So he cracked open one of Alice Waters's cookbooks, and started diligently cooking his way through it. When he was done with that, there were seven more Waters cookbooks, plus those by Tom Colicchio, Richard Olney, Thomas Keller... and then he was butchering whole animals in his cluttered kitchen. How to Cook Like a Man might be understood as the male version of Julia and Julia. But more than chronicling a commitment to a gimmick, it charts an organic journey and full-on obsession, exploring just what it means to be a provider and a father. Duane doesn't just learn how to cook like a man; he learns how to be one.
How is the meaning of food created, communicated, and continually transformed? How are food practices defined, shaped, delineated, constructed, modified, resisted, and reinvented – by whom and for whom? These are but a few of the questions Who Decides? Competing Narratives in Constructing Tastes, Consumption and Choice explores. Part I (Taste, Authenticity & Identity) explicitly centres on the connection between food and identity construction. Part II (Food Discourses) focuses on how food-related language shapes perceptions that in turn construct particular behaviours that in turn demonstrate underlying value systems. Thus, as a collection, this volume explores how tastes are shaped, forme...
After my first cookbook 'Rasheedas Family Table ', I decided to take on the task of writing Understanding Baking to convince home bakers that baking is simpler than its reputation. Thorough understanding of basic techniques not only makes it easy to bake with confidence, but also gives you a vision to create your own versions. But the trick is to understand first. And to understand, you must read the recipes and follow the techniques until you are well versed in the process. The book has easy to follow popular recipes for pies, tarts and other dessert along with extra tips and techniques for a better understanding of the baking process. It also offers information about all the important ingredients, and needed cooking tools to facilitate the process and make it fun. I hope everyone who uses it will go back to it over and over again to find easy to make desserts for the family.
