Book excerpt: A publishing phenomenon in Spain: a moving, lyrical, far-ranging meditation on the deep joys of confronting oneself through silence by a Spanish priest and Zen disciple. With silence increasingly becoming a stranger to us, one man set out to become its intimate: Pablo d'Ors, a Catholic priest whose life was changed by Zen meditation. With disarming honesty and directness, as well as a striking clarity of language, d'Ors shares his struggles as a beginning meditator: the tedium, restlessness, and distraction. But, persevering, the author discovers not only a deep peace and understanding of his true nature, but also that silence, rather than being a retreat from life, offers us an intense engagement with life just as it is. Imbued with a rare beauty, Biography of Silence shows us the deep joy of silence that is available to us all.

Quizá por eso sea la única que consigue contactar con Manako Kajii, una mujer condenada a cadena perpetua por seducir y asesinar a varios hombres con la intención de usar su dinero para costearse talleres de cocina y comidas lujosas. Así comienza una serie de encuentros entre las dos mujeres que pronto transforman el interés inicial de Rika, meramente profesional, en una extraña fascinación hacia la supuesta asesina. Kajii no encaja en lo que cabría esperar de una «seductora de hombres», pero su arrolladora personalidad y su determinación por satisfacer sus deseos resulta más intrigante para Rika que cualquier otro tema que jamás haya tratado. A medida que ahonda en ella, la magnética personalidad de Kajii rebasa los muros de la prisión y empieza a influir en las decisiones y comportamientos de la periodista.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best Food Books of the Year A revolutionary new guide to pairing ingredients, based on a famous chef's groundbreaking research into the chemical basis of flavor As an instructor at one of the world's top culinary schools, James Briscione thought he knew how to mix and match ingredients. Then he met IBM Watson. Working with the supercomputer to turn big data into delicious recipes, Briscione realized that he (like most chefs) knew next to nothing about why different foods taste good together. That epiphany launched him on a quest to understand the molecular basis of flavor--and it led, in time, to The Flavor Matrix. A groundbreaking ingredient-pairing guide, The Flavor Matrix shows how science can unlock unheard-of possibilities for combining foods into astonishingly inventive dishes. Briscione distills chemical analyses of different ingredients into easy-to-use infographics, and presents mind-blowing recipes that he's created with them. The result of intensive research and incredible creativity in the kitchen, The Flavor Matrix is a must-have for home cooks and professional chefs alike: the only flavor-pairing manual anyone will ever need.

Download or read book Professional Cooking Techniques Master Chef written by Mariana Sebess and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When - Master Chef Professional Cooking Techniques - was first introduced, we mentioned that the number of cookbooks available for professionals and amateurs was nearly infinite. Yet most of were simply recipe books, only a few of which demonstrated some cooking techniques. Moreover, the handful that presented comprehensive cooking techniques was written in languages unfamiliar for our part of the world. Thus, in 2003, we published a manual for specialized readers that filled this gap in Latin America's professional cuisine industry.Our manual was the first of its kind in Spanish providing comprehensive, step-by-step techniques for international cuisine, with the procedures needed for preparing fruits, vegetables, poultry, all types of meat, fish, seafood, pastas, sauces, soups, eggs, pastries, and doughs. Mastery of these techniques allows any lover of culinary arts, whether professional or amateur, not only to correctly interpret or modify any recipe but also, and fundamentally, to create new recipes, limited only by one's imagination.This fifteen-chapter manual was the result of more than twenty years of experience in teaching our Professional Chef Program courses, in classes imparted by Olympic and world champions who have taught at our Institute, supplemented by the many lessons we have learned at international "professional tournaments. This new edition of Master Chef Professional Cooking Techniques further develops its explanations of occupational health and safety measures and includes a number of additional techniques. In particular, a special Cereal and Grains chapter has been added, with techniques on the preparation of Couscous (traditional preparation), barley, quinoa, and wheat. Another new chapter is the one on Potatoes, which provides techniques for preparing Duchess mashed potatoes, the Spanish tortilla, r�sti, pomme bouchon, gratin dauphinois, and potatoes dauphine. The Fish and Seafood chapter is expanded to include the cleaning and cooking of calamari and octopus. The Sauces chapter is enriched by the addition of sweet and sour sauces, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, deglazing, and binding with cassava flour. The Meats chapter now includes tongue, cuts of lardons, and Brazilian meat cuts. The Pastry chapter has been expanded with the inclusion of corn galette and the Hungarian fried-bread known as "l�ngos." The Cooking chapter now covers legumes, smoking, poaching, and glazing of tomatoes.""The Pastas chapter now includes "r�tolo" and the Central European dumplings known as "Servietten Kn�del". Finally, the chapter entitled Miscellaneous Techniques now includes onion compote, croquettes, infused oils, balsamic vinegar reduction, cassava flour, and cheese pastry cups.I could not conclude this introduction without expressing my gratitude to my brother Paulo, instructor at the Institute, for his assistance in the presentation of the techniques, I also thank Mr. Jorge E. Monti de Valsassina, Continental Director for America, of the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS) for his invaluable support, as well as Mr. Gustavo M�ndez Graciano, Educational Director of the Panamerican Forum of Professional Culinary Associations."Mariana Sebess.

Download or read book An Unspoken Hunger written by Terry Tempest Williams and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2015-03-18 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Refuge here weaves together a resonant and often rhapsodic manifesto on behalf of the landscapes she loves, combining the power of her observations in the field with her personal experience—as a woman, a Mormon, and a Westerner. Through the grace of her stories we come to see how a lack of intimacy with the natural world has initiated a lack of intimacy with each other. Williams shadows lions on the Serengeti and spots night herons in the Bronx. She pays homage to the rogue spirits of Edward Abbey and Georgia O’Keeffe, contemplates the unfathomable wildness of bears, and directs us to a politics of place. The result is an utterly persuasive book—one that has the power to change the way we live upon the earth.
