This book was released on 2021-11-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the French art of baking bread—including ingredient selection, levain cultivation, and bread-making techniques—with more than one hundred illustrated recipes. The humble baguette is the quintessential staple of French cuisine, but the country has a vast and diverse bread-baking tradition. With an introduction to the history of French bread, guidelines to help the home baker select the right ingredients — grain and flour varieties, water, salt, and levain—this book details the step-by-step techniques and fundamentals of bread making : from feeding the levain, kneading and preparing the dough, and baking, to more than 100 recipes. Eighteen expert bakers and pastry chefs share the sweet and savory recipes that have forged the French bakery’s enviable reputation—from rounds of rustic pain de campagne or loaves of olive and oregano bread to regional favorites like fougasse or the Basque taloas tortillas. A new generation of bakers has expanded the classic French repertoire to include original creations—such as charcoal-sesame baguettes; matcha swirl bread ; buckwheat and seaweed rolls; and fig, hazelnut, and honey rye bread. In their French style, they also reinterpret heritage breads from across the world—including pita, focaccia, bagels, cheesy Georgian khachapuri, Swedish crispbread, and Indian chapati. Additional bread-based recipes include “surprise bread” finger sandwiches, croque monsieur, onion soup with cheese croutons, and desserts such as French toast and kouign-amann. For each recipe, pictograms indicate the level of difficulty, time and material required, and whether a recipe is gluten-free. This is the ultimate reference book for baking homemade bread the French way.

Book excerpt: "In this gossipy, name-filled and lavishly illustrated volume, Allen Churchill chronicles the families, fads, and fortunes that made New York, New York what it was. From the days of the English governors--one of whom used to wear his wife's dresses to underscore his resemblance to Queen Anne--New York's High Society has been an inexhaustible fount of glamour and fascination. Included in this impertinent potpourri are the mansions of Millionaire's Row (one, on the corner of Fifty-second Street, cost three million [1880s] dollars); the "Bouncers" and "Shoddies" who assaulted Gotham Society with cash as their sole weapon; the origin of "The Four Hundred", how Manhattan reacted to two Princes of Wales; The Bradley Martin Ball, which nearly started a riot; the Vanderbilt-Marlborough wedding which was denounced by the press, and much, much more. In every era, Churchill examines the awesome and often eccentric personalities that made Manhattan's blood run blue: James Cordon Bennett, who was horsewhipped by his fiancée's brother and had to leave the country; "Commodore" Vanderbilt, the first of the great dynasty founders; Caroline Astor (THE Mrs. Astor); the rapacious Jay Gould; Ward McAllister, whose decline from social grace brought the public's scorn down on an entire era of brittle, gilded life. Finally, Churchill examines the rush for the celebrity-ridden wilds of Café Society that "killed" High Society, and details some of its more astonishing death-throes. But even if Society is dead, this book--always informative, often hilarious, usually indiscreet, and illustrated with over two hundred old prints and photographs--should stand as its definitive epitaph."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: Visionary baker Chad Robertson unveils what’s next in bread, drawing on a decade of innovation in grain farming, flour milling, and fermentation with all-new ground-breaking formulas and techniques for making his most nutrient-rich and sublime loaves, rolls, and more—plus recipes for nourishing meals that showcase them. “The most rewarding thing about making bread is that the process of learning never ends. Every day is a new study . . . the possibilities are infinite.”—from the Introduction More than a decade ago, Chad Robertson’s country levain recipe taught a generation of bread bakers to replicate the creamy crumb, crackly crust, and unparalleled flavor of his world-famous Tartine bread. His was the recipe that launched hundreds of thousands of sourdough starters and attracted a stream of understudies to Tartine from across the globe. Now, in Bread Book, Robertson and Tartine’s director of bread, Jennifer Latham, explain how high-quality, sustainable, locally sourced grain and flours respond to hydration and fermentation to make great bread even better. Experienced bakers and novices will find Robertson’s and Latham’s primers on grain, flour, sourdough starter, leaven, discard starter, and factoring dough formulas refreshingly easy to understand and use. With sixteen brilliant formulas for naturally leavened doughs—including country bread (now reengineered), rustic baguettes, flatbreads, rolls, pizza, and vegan and gluten-free loaves, plus tortillas, crackers, and fermented pasta made with discarded sourdough starter—Bread Book is the wild-yeast baker ’s flight plan for a voyage into the future of exceptional bread.

Download or read book Brave Punk World written by James Greene and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punk rock may have started in the United Kingdom and United States but it certainly didn’t stay in either country. The genre flew around the globe like a contagion, touching off simultaneous movements in nearly every market imaginable: Japan, Yugoslavia, the Philippines, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile, Mexico, Poland, Burma, Singapore, and Turkey, among countless others. Performing punk rock in many of these places wasn’t just rebellious, it was legitimately dangerous, thanks to regimes far more oppressive and brutal than what existed in the West. Brave Punk World immerses readers in these foreign scenes, describing the lifestyles and art of passionate, hard-charging groups who remain secret to the punk majority but who are just as crucial as the Ramones or the Sex Pistols. James Greene, Jr. explores Brazilian bands like Ulster who angrily protested and openly mocked their region's cruel dictatorship, Germans such as Slime who see many of their songs still banned to this day, the Algerian-by-way-of-France performers Carte de Séjour who had an alleged hand in inspiring the landmark Clash hit "Rock The Casbah," and a galaxy of other punk groups from more exotic locales. Punk diehards and travel enthusiasts with a taste for chaos will enjoy the country-by-country cultural explorations and wild stories offered within these pages.
