Download or read book New Art of Cookery written by Vicky Hayward and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Jane Grigson Trust Award 2017 and the Aragonese Academy of Gastronomy’s 2017 Prize for Research New Art of Cookery, Drawn from the School of Economic Experience, was an influential recipe book published in 1745 by Spanish friary cook Juan Altamiras. In it, he wrote up over 200 recipes for meat, poultry, game, salted and fresh fish, vegetables and sweet things in a chatty style aimed at readers who cooked on a modest budget. He showed that economic cookery could be delicious if flavors and aromas were blended with an appreciation for all sorts of ingredients, however humble, and for diverse food cultures, ranging from that of Aragon, his home region, to those of Iberian court and New World kitchens. This first English translation gives guidelines for today’s cooks alongside the original text, and interweaves a new narrative portraying 18th-century Spain, its everyday life, and food culture. The author traces links between New Art’s dishes and modern Spanish cookery, tells the story of her search to identify the book’s author and understand the popularity of his book for over 150 years, and takes travelers, cooks, historians, and students of Spanish language, culture, and gastronomy on a fascinating journey to the world of Altamiras and, most important of all, his kitchen.

Download or read book The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel written by Shona Moller and published by Pallete Press. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A disturbing, emotively-charged romantic thriller. This debut novel is quintessentially New Zealand; it is set on the sultry West Coast, it references New Zealand artists, and as expected from an artist author, it is an intensely visual read. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel introduces Emma Blake, a gritty young heroine as she accepts a position at a remote village school on the West Coast of New Zealand. Tairuanui is a village of misfits; a place where everyone, it seems, is living out their Plan B. Struggling to come to terms with her past, Emma attracts the attention of Jono, an enigmatic local Maori with secrets of his own. Initially created as a feminist stance against the cardboard cut-out roles often reserved for women in literature and film, Jono eventually emerges as a fully developed character. Meanwhile, the Group; a church based on Closed Brethren doctrine is operating out of an ancient Pa site in the bush. It sets its sights on Emma and her journey to rescue, and recovery, is a bumpy ride. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel is for readers who demand a visceral experience; Emma Blake is darkly funny, gutsy, angry. She has a blunt, sometimes abrasive first-person delivery. She approaches conflict with real passion. She discloses her sexual encounters with an open pragmatic honesty as they reflect the intensity, or lack thereof, of her relationships and the level of respect she holds for herself and for others. Emma's story allows for an intimate examination of guilt and its effects. The Trajectory of a Fallen Angel is evocative of humanity, with all its flaws and heartbreaks, and of the physical environment.

Book excerpt: "He was a member of the Byrds and founder and frontman of the Flying Burrito Brothers. He was best friend to Keith Richards and mentor to Emmylou Harris. And he revolutionized music, combining country and rock when the two were like oil and water. Gram Parsons may have been only twenty-six when he died in 1973, but he was already well on his way to becoming one of the most influential musicians of all time." "A collaboration between journalist Jessica Hundley and Gram's daughter, Polly Parsons, Grievous Angel is part biography, part visual scrapbook - a compilation of conversations and never-before-seen photos and unpublished letters, all interwoven with a retelling of Gram's tale." "Featuring dozens of interviews with everyone from Bright Eyes and Elvis Costello to Willie Nelson and Steve Earle, Grievous Angel is an exploration of how Gram's legacy has spanned the decades, still inspiring both his contemporaries and today's artists, thirty-odd years after his tragic death."--BOOK JACKET.
