Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Filled with quirky surprises and things you would have never thought to ask, Bunyard’s celebration of fruit is endlessly entertaining.” –Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt, Cod, and The Big Oyster When we think of dessert, our mind’s eye sees cakes, pies, and pastries. Yet the truly creative palate imagines things even more tempting, decadent, and, yes, sinful. So claims Edward Bunyard in this delectable paean to the wonderful fruits of the vine, from apples and apricots to gooseberries and strawberries, from pears to the grapes that give us wine. Bunyard, a nurseryman at the turn of the last century, lovingly devotes a chapter to each fruit, sharing a heartfelt disquisition on the many types of strawberries, in which bigger is not always better; revealing how denizens of cooler and warmer climes differ in their perceptions about grapes; and asserting that “immoderate indulgence” in melon has toppled great dynasties and changed the course of history. Bunyard even offers advice on the most delightful wine and fruit pairings, and settles once and for all the debate that has raged for nearly three millennia: Which are tastier, hothouse figs or the outdoor variety. Introduced by Michael Pollan, The Anatomy of Dessert is a cornucopia of wisdom that’s never out of season. It is time again to savor this classic work, first published in 1929, that gives above-the-title billing to the myriad foodstuffs we often refer to as “afters.” So come and partake in the fruits of Edward Bunyard’s labor of love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rosaceae family includes the Pyrus genus of trees, which produces the pear. They are loved all throughout the world for their delicious, tender meat. In this book, we will discuss the general characteristics, cultivation, and some fascinating facts about pear plants. - Pear trees are deciduous and can grow to a height of 15-50 feet (4.5-15 meters), making them medium-sized trees. They grow straight up and wide at the top. - Pear tree leaves are often glossy, dark green, and shaped like ovals. Along the branches, they take turns. - In the spring, pear trees bloom with clusters of tiny, pure white or creamy white blossoms. Pollinators like bees are likely to visit these blooms. - Pears are the fruit of the pear tree. The variety of pear you choose will determine its size, color, and form. They can be eaten skin and all thanks to their tender, delicious flesh that might be sweet or sour. - Pears love mild summers and cool winters, therefore they do best under these conditions. In order to start the flower bud development process, they need to be chilled. - Soil: Rich organic matter and good drainage are ideal for pear trees. They do best in conditions when the pH is just below neutral. - Grafting onto rootstocks is the standard method for propagating pears for planting. For the best results, plant them where they will get plenty of sunlight. - Pear trees need regular pruning to keep their form, improve circulation, and increase fruit yield. The dormant season is ideal for pruning. - Pollination: Most types of pears need to be planted near another type of pear tree in order to produce fruit. Pollen is spread from blossom to flower with the help of bees and other pollinators. - Pears are one of the oldest cultivated fruits, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. - Pears come in a broad variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, flavors, and uses, and they may be found all over the world. Bartlett, Bosc, Anjou, and Comice are some of the most common types. - Pears provide a lot of healthy nutrients, including fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants. They are low in calories and can be a useful part of a well-rounded meal plan. - Pears continue to ripen after being picked, so they can be stored unripe until ready to eat. In a cool, dry, dark spot, they will keep for weeks. - Fresh pears can be eaten by themselves or as part of a salad; dried pears can be used in baking; and pears can be preserved in the form of jams and jellies. Pears are also fermented to make pear cider and distilled into pear brandy. Keep in mind that the pear type and local conditions can affect the specifics of how and what you grow.
