The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet: A Revolutionary Recipe Plan to Relieve Gut Pain and Alleviate IBS and Other Digestive Disorders
Sue Shepherd - 2013
Mullin, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Director of Integrative GI Nutrition Services at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine “What can I do to feel better?” For years, millions of adults who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have asked this question, often to be met with scientifically unfounded or inadequate advice. The low-FODMAP diet is the long-awaited answer. In clinical trials, over three quarters of people with chronic digestive symptoms gain significant relief by reducing their intake of FODMAPs—difficult-to-digest carbs found in foods such as wheat, milk, beans, soy, and certain fruits, vegetables, nuts, and sweeteners. In The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet, Sue Shepherd and Peter Gibson explain what causes digestive distress, how the low-FODMAP diet helps, and how to: • Identify and avoid foods high in FODMAPs • Develop a personalized and sustainable low-FODMAP diet • Shop, menu plan, entertain, travel, and eat out with peace of mind • Follow the program if you have IBS, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or diabetes, and if you eat a vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, or dairy-free diet. And, with 80 delicious low-FODMAP, gluten-free recipes, you can manage your symptoms, feel great, and eat well—for life.

No Need to Knead: Handmade Artisan Breads in 90 minutes
Suzanne Dunaway - 1999
Now imagine if you could make this and other breads completely from scratch with your own hands in less than ninety minutes from start to hot out of the oven.In No Need to Knead, acclaimed professional baker Suzanne Dunaway reveals her truly revolutionary technique for baking unforgettable Italian breads that require no fussy steps, no special equipment, and no anxiety. Here are the Focaccia, Filoncino, Ciabatta, and Pane Rustico of your dreams. Dunaway also provides recipes for breads from around the world: traditional breads (like the best ever Sourdough Bisciuts and Skillet Corn Bread), sweet loaves (Classic Brioche and Sourdough Lemon Cake are just two), and special breads (from African Spice Bread to Russian Kulich). And there are dozens of recipes for Italian and other dishes you can make with bread including classic pizze, simple bruschette, bread soufflés, bread soups, bread salads, and bread desserts (try the knockout Chocolate Bread Pudding). There are even recipes for fun breads to make with children.Inspired by the honest simplicity of rustic Italian loaves, Dunaway spent years testing and experimenting to develop her radical technique for baking bread. While trying to reproduce the incredible Pane Casereccio (housewife's bread) she tasted in Rome, Dunaway discovered that stirring a very wet dough (as opposed to kneading a drier one) allows the dough to retain oxygen and moisture, yielding a loaf with incredible texture and taste. Maximizing surface area and baking the bread at a higher temperature than normal gives the bread its remarkable signature crust.With Dunaway's guidance, you will be making a Kalamata Olive Filoncino glistening with sea salt and infused with a tangy olive taste, and a classic chewy Focaccia. What's more, many of the basic bread doughs are fat-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free. So let Dunaway take the fear and work out of baking bread and show you how to make world-class loaves that are foolproof, fantastically delicious, and incredibly satisfying to the soul.
The Bagel: The Surprising History of a Modest Bread
Maria Balinska - 2008
But few people are aware of the bagel’s provenance, let alone its adventuresome history. This charming book tells the remarkable story of the bagel’s journey from the tables of seventeenth-century Poland to the freezers of middle America today, a story of often surprising connections between a cheap market-day snack and centuries of Polish, Jewish, and American history. Research in international archives and numerous personal interviews uncover the bagel’s links with the defeat of the Turks by Polish King Jan Sobieski in 1683, the Yiddish cultural revival of the late nineteenth century, and Jewish migration across the Atlantic to America. There the story moves from the bakeries of New York’s Lower East Side to the Bagel Bakers’ Local 388 Union of the 1960s, and the attentions of the mob. For all its modest size, the bagel has managed to bridge cultural gaps, rescue kings from obscurity, charge the emotions, and challenge received wisdom. Maria Balinska weaves together a rich, quirky, and evocative history of East European Jewry and the unassuming ring-shaped roll the world has taken to its heart.
Midnight Chicken: & Other Recipes Worth Living For
Ella Risbridger - 2019
Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find recipes so inviting that you'll head straight for the kitchen: roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches or burnt-butter brownies. It's the kind of cooking you can do a little bit drunk. It's the kind of cooking that is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open, and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce.But if you sit down with this book and a cup of tea (or that glass of wine), you'll also discover that it's an annotated list of things worth living for: a manifesto of moments worth living for. Because there was a time when, for Ella Risbridger, the world had become overwhelming. Sounds were too loud, colours were too bright, everyone moved too fast. One night she found herself lying on her kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up - and it was the thought of a chicken, of roasting it, and of eating it, that got her to her feet, and made her want to be alive.This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again
