Download or read book The Cook the Diner and the Mind written by Marc F Luxen and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a psychology book for cooks about food. Not a cook book, but a psychology book. You will see how your brain deals with information from your senses, so you can understand that people actually find a soup called "muoma" creamier than a soup with the name "sitsee", how making up walks and rhymes makes it easy to remember things and why wine in an expensive looking bottle tastes, really tastes, better. You will see why some people like baking and some people are not, why people who enter their homes through the kitchen have a higher chance of being overweight. And much more. I have tried to explain things using examples of food and cooking whenever possible, and avoided explaining anything I could not explain in an amusing or interesting way . I will take you hundreds of thousands of years back, and show you that we are the cooking ape, creatures of the fire. Without cooking we would not exist. You will read how your brain constructs what we see, hear, smell, feel and taste, and how much we actually add to what we think we just perceive, and how this is very much the case when we eat. You will learn how to use your memory efficiently in the kitchen using simple tricks. I will show you different personalities in the kitchen, and what to do with that. We will dig into technique-based cooking and recipe-based cooking and how that affects you and your cooking. Hell, we'll even look at language and food names, pricing strategies, and how we can use that knowledge to our advantage.

Gail Caldwell and Caroline Knapp (author of Drinking: A Love Story) became best friends, talking about everything from their love of books and their shared history of a struggle with alcohol to their relationships with men.

Book excerpt: In the year of 1857, people in the coastal town of Valda Bay face ruin due in part to the greed of Mr. Nash, the wealthiest man in town. When Nash is brutally murdered no one mourns his passing, but now, local magistrate Chief Johnson is out to discover what really happened. Everyone in town is a suspect, but the Chief is in for more than he bargained. Secrets abound, everywhere apparently, as townsfolk scurry to hide the sins of their pasts in light of the investigation. The town lighthouse keeper, Erik Johansson, seems to be one of the few members of the community hiding nothing?but even that is a lie. Rumors have followed his family for years: rumors of a great, hidden fortune worth killing for. So as Chief?s investigation goes from murder and arson, to debauchery and deceit, someone in Valda Bay seeks a treasure. A killer walks the streets. Townspeople turn on each other. Chief Johnson wonders, is Nash?s murder somehow connected to the Johansson family? If so, who stood to gain? How much would they gain, and how far would they be willing to go to get it?

Download or read book The Vain Conversation written by Anthony Grooms and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A real-life racially motivated mass killing from 1946 is boldly and deeply reimagined [in this] incisive, gripping and empathetic novel” (Kirkus, starred review). Inspired by true events, The Vain Conversation reflects on the 1946 lynching of two black couples in Georgia from the perspectives of three characters—Bertrand Johnson, one of the victims; Noland Jacks, a presumed perpetrator; and Lonnie Henson, a witness to the murders as a ten-year-old boy. Lonnie’s inexplicable feelings of culpability drive him in a search for meaning that takes him around the world, and ultimately back to Georgia, where he must confront both Jacks and his own demons. In this stirring and incisive narrative, Anthony Grooms seeks to advance the national dialogue on race relations. With complexity, satire, and surprising moments of levity, he explores what it means to redeem and be redeemed. Deeply probing the issues of American race violence, The Vain Conversation also speaks to the broader issues of oppression and violence everywhere. Foreword by poet, painter, and novelist Clarence Major. Afterward by bestselling author T. Geronimo Johnson.
