Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on thousands of years of foodways, Tucson cuisine blends the influences of Indigenous, Mexican, mission-era Mediterranean, and ranch-style cowboy food traditions. This book offers a food pilgrimage, where stories and recipes demonstrate why the desert city of Tucson became American’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Both family supper tables and the city’s trendiest restaurants feature native desert plants and innovative dishes incorporating ancient agricultural staples. Award-winning writer Carolyn Niethammer deliciously shows how the Sonoran Desert’s first farmers grew tasty crops that continue to influence Tucson menus and how the arrival of Roman Catholic missionaries, Spanish soldiers, and Chinese farmers influenced what Tucsonans ate. White Sonora wheat, tepary beans, and criollo cattle steaks make Tucson’s cuisine unique. In A Desert Feast, you’ll see pictures of kids learning to grow food at school, and you’ll meet the farmers, small-scale food entrepreneurs, and chefs who are dedicated to growing and using heritage foods. It’s fair to say, “Tucson tastes like nowhere else.”

Download or read book A Perfect Red written by Amy Butler Greenfield and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You’ll finish [Greenfield’s] book with new respect for color, especially for red. With A Perfect Red, she does for it what Mark Kurlansky in Salt did for that common commodity.”—Houston Chronicle Interweaving mystery, empire, and adventure, Amy Butler Greenfield’s masterful popular history offers a window onto a world far different from our own: a world in which the color red was rare and precious—a source of wealth and power for those who could unlock its secrets. And in this world nothing was more prized than cochineal, a red dye that produced the brightest, strongest red the Old World had ever seen. A Perfect Red recounts the story of this legendary red dye, from its cultivation by the ancient Mexicans and discovery by 16th-century Spanish conquistadors to the European pirates, explorers, alchemists, scientists, and spies who joined in the chase to unlock its secrets, a chase that lasted more than three centuries. It evokes with style and verve this history of a grand obsession, of intrigue, empire, and adventure in pursuit of the most desirable color on earth.

The memoir covers the author's formative years in student politics, witnessing Cesar Chavez ending his 1968 fast for nonviolence alongside Robert Kennedy, Lopez's emersion in the United Farm Workers' international table grape boycott backed by millions of Americans, the landmark August, 1970 anti-Vietnam War Chicano Moratorium in East L.A., the signing that summer of the Delano grape growers' first union contracts and the battle against cynical sweet-heart deals between growers and Teamsters in the Salinas Valley row-crop industry.Lopez answers "the call" in 1970. Determined to become a movement lawyer, he obtains his degree from a top California law school and rejoins the struggle to organize farm workers. In 1979, Cesar Chavez asks him to serve as UFW general counsel during bitter field walkouts and internal union strife. This quixotic adventure, told in a lively and sometimes humorous bilingual and bi-cultural weave is well-paced, hypnotic, informative, and intriguing. These true accounts offer insights into historical and stormy times, many of which are still relevant in today's challenging era.
