Pasta Light or Coming Home

Pasta Light: Great-Tasting No-Fat and Low-Fat Recipes for Healthy Eating

Author: Anne Sheasby

Enjoy this tempting collection of recipes safe in the knowledge that they all contain little or no fat.



Book about: Meet You in Hell or Commodities For Dummies

Coming Home: With over 150 Easy to Make Recipes from Return of the Chef

Author: John Burton Rac

I'd had my first vague thoughts about opening a restaurant in England towards the end of my year's stay in France, while working on French Leave. Living in that unspoilt area of France, enjoying no-fuss dishes made from seasonal local ingredients, had taught me that food didn't have to be fancy to be good. When we left France I wondered if it would be possible to capture what I'd learned and somehow bring it back to England.

Arriving back in the UK on the ferry to Plymouth, I was struck by the natural beauty of the countryside in the general area. Here was a region rich in natural produce: the iron-rich soil and lush pastureland perfect for yielding the best meat and dairy produce, the beautiful orchards of apples and pears, the river estuaries with their wonderful range of fresh and seawater fish and shellfish. There were even vineyards, for heaven's sake! I decided that if I was going to open a restaurant in England, Devon was the county to do it in.

One look at the spectacular setting of The Carved Angel on the River Dart, and I was completely bowled over. Formerly owned by the legendary Joyce Molyneux, to my mind one of the best British chefs ever, I knew that buying this lovely waterfront restaurant was the right thing to do. I feel more privileged than I can say to have been able to buy it and to continue its fine traditions of excellence. Opening the restaurant as The New Angel has been the perfect homecoming.

I'd like to think that this book, and the 8-part primetime television series which accompanies it, is a tribute to the best that England, as a whole, has to offer. Some of the dishes are from The New Angel repertoire,others are personal or family favourites. All of them are easy to make, and I hope there's something here for everyone and that you get as much pleasure from the recipes as I have.

Good Fat or The Best Is Yet To Be

Good Fat

Author: Fran McCollough

Good News

The good fats—butter, chocolate, coconut, olive oil, avocado, fish, and shellfish, among many other favorites—are not only delicious, they're good for your brain, heart, immune system, hormones, skin, memory, and emotional well-being, and can also help you lose weight.

It's a fact: Not all fats are bad. Good fats slow the effects of aging, improve mood and memory, boost the immune system, and protect against stroke and cancer. And the most surprising news of all: The right fats are great tools for weight loss, making you feel full longer and jump-starting your metabolism.

In Good Fat, bestselling low-carb guru Fran McCullough debunks all the fat myths, demystifies cutting-edge science, and—fork in hand—reveals the simple secrets to eating well and losing weight. Here she teaches you how to:

  • identify the good fats—and enjoy their good taste
  • avoid trans fats and other bad fats that damage health and pile on the pounds
  • combine low-carb foods with beneficial fats, proteins, and fresh ingredients for maximum energy
  • lose weight by eating more of the foods you crave
  • prepare more than 100 simple, delicious recipes to put the good fat back on your table

...and much more. Part of the groundswell that prompted the Food and Drug Administration to require mandatory listing of trans fats content on food labels by 2006, Good Fat is an inspirational resource for the millions of Americans who have perceived the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle and are looking to live a healthier, happier life.

Whats the Beef or Chesapeakes Bounty II

What's the Beef?: The Contested Governance of European Food Safety

Author: Christopher Ansell

A series of food-related crises--most notably mad cow disease in Britain, farmer protests in France against American hormone-treated beef, and the European Union's banning of genetically modified food--has turned the regulation of food safety in Europe into a crucible for issues of institutional trust, legitimacy, and effectiveness. What's the Beef? examines European food safety regulation at the national, European, and international levels as a case of "contested governance"--a syndrome of policymaking and political dispute in which not only policy outcomes but aso the fundamental legitimacy of existing institutional arrangements are challenged.

The discussions of European food safety regulation in What's the Beef? open into consideration of broader issues, including the growing importance of multilevel regulation (and the possibility of disagreements among different levels of authority), the future of European integration, discontent over trade globalization, the politicization of risk assessment and regulatory science, the regulation of biotechnology, the shifting balance between public and private regulation, agricultural protectionism, and the "transatlantic divide." After addressing the historical, social, and economic context of European food safety regulation, the book examines national efforts at food safety reform in France, Britain, and Germany and such regional efforts as the creation of the European Food Authority. The book also looks at the international dimensions of European food safety regulation, discussing the conflicts between EU safety rules and World Trade Organization rulings that occur because EU rules are more riskaverse ("precautionary") than those of its trading partners, including the United States.

Author: Elisabeth Luther Cary

Beginning on January 1 with a recipe for traditional English wedding cake referenced to Jane Austen's Emma and continuing through December with a recipe for Christmas pudding attributed to a quote from Charles Dickens, Books and My Food provides readers the occasion to experience the gastronomic delights that inspired novelists, poets, and playwrights. Drawn almost entirely from British sources, the literary catalysts for these recipes include citations from Charlotte Bronte, William Shakespeare, William Makepeace Thackeray, Ben Jonson, George Eliot, Alfred Tennyson, and others. Recipes range across familiar British fare from mutton chops, leg of lamb, and meat pies to tea cakes, custards, puddings, porridge, and crumpets. Equally intriguing are the instructions for more obscure sustenance such as rum omelets, sago-cream pudding. Shrovetide pancakes, furmety, syllabub, dulcet creams, and an adaptation for curds and whey. Finally, for the literary buff whose tastes run bravely to the authentic dinners of old England, there are recipes for tongue and spinach, frog leg patties, fried eels, and stewed snipe.
