An Invitation to Indian Cooking - Madhur Jaffrey - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

This new paperback of Madhur Jaffrey''s modern culinary classic is the companion to Eastern Vegetarian Cooking: it will come as a revelation to all those whose experience of Indian cuisine has been confined to restaurants in Britain. In her fascinating Introduction the author vividly describes the vast scope of Indian cooking, the regional differences in taste and method, and the special qualities of the food of her native Delhi; she provides a comprehensive list of the various herbs and spices used in India, a glossary of cookery terms and some suggested menus. The recipes range from soups to desserts, with meat, fish and egg dishes, vegetables, rice and bread, chutneys and pickles, and a section on summer cooking and barbeques. All are clearly and simply set out, with many helpful hints from Madhur Jaffrey''s own wide experience. The wealth of colourful detail and incidental information makes An Invitation to Indian Cooking as much a pleasure to read as it is to use.

Hunger - Elise Blackwell - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Hunger - Elise Blackwell - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

When German troops surround Leningrad and cut off food supplies in the autumn of 1941, no one imagines that the siege will last almost three years and take hundreds of thousands of lives. As the first ''hungry winter'' sets in, the city''s residents strip the bark off trees, boil and eat moss-covered stones, and trade priceless antiques for half a loaf of bread - and sex for a chunk of sugar. But the scientists at the Institute of Plant Industry pledge to protect their collection of rare seeds, painstakingly gathered from all over the world, no matter what the human cost. But as the siege continues, the group divides into those who would preserve their principles at the price of starvation, and others who turn to deception - and more sinister measures - to survive. A powerful, stunningly precise and beautifully written novel about human nature under life''s harshest pressures. Reminiscent of Rachel Seiffert''s The Dark Room and Bernhard Schlink''s The Reader in its brevity, spareness and power, it is a quite remarkable debut.

Rootless - Bruce Oldfield - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Born a mixed-race, illegitimate child to an irresponsible, ''care-free'' mother and an anonymous Jamaican boxer, Bruce Oldfield''s entry into the world was anything but conventional. As his mother was moved from hospital to mental home to supervision by her mother, likewise Bruce moved through several boy''s homes before being fostered for twelve years with a woman who became known as ''Mum'' and with three other mixed-race children who became his ''brothers'' and ''sisters''.Bruce''s ''family'' rarely strayed far from living just above the bread line. To make up the finances Bruce''s foster mum worked as a seamstress. It was her talent to make fabulous clothes from scraps of material that captured Bruce''s imagination. What began as a hobby and desire to ease the family''s financial worries became Bruce''s life''s work as he rose through the ranks of top designers in London, New York and Paris to become one of the best known and best loved figures in the fashion world. He created the most beautiful clothes for an amazing range of people - from the Princess of Wales to Dame Edna Everage. ''After thirty years in the business it seems an opportune moment to put down an account of my life, as much to evaluate where I''ve been as to decide where I''m going.''

Against the Flow - Tom Fort - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Against the Flow - Tom Fort - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

''You have to be on your guard when you go back to special places. You may be able to locate them easily enough on the map, but maps tell only one story. Times change and places and people with them. The memory plays curious tricks, and things aren''t always as you remember or expect.'' Twenty years ago, Tom Fort drove his little red car onto the ferry at Felixstowe, bound for all points east. Eastern Europe was still a faraway place, just emerging from its half-century of waking nightmare, blinking, injured, full of fears but importantly full of hope too. Things were different then. Czechoslovakia was still Czechoslovakia, Russia was the USSR and the Warsaw Pact had not formally dissolved. But what did exist then, as they do now, were the rivers: the nations'' lifeblood. It was along and by these rivers that Fort travelled around Eastern Europe meeting its people and immersing himself in its culture.Since that trip though, much has changed and in more recent years around one million Poles have settled in Britain. Fort''s local paper has a Polish edition, his supermarket has a full range of Polish bread, sausage and beer and an influx of Polish businesses opened in his town centre. And it''s not just the Poles, his gym has a Lithuanian trainer and the woman who cuts his hair is from Hungary. As a tide of people began to leave Eastern Europe and settle in the UK, Tom Fort started to wonder about what they were leaving behind and whether the friends he had made all those years ago remained. And so he decided to make the journey again, travelling against the flow of the steady human stream to explore the once familiar places. As he did so, many began to return as the recession took hold of Western Europe. Tom was keen to find out what had changed and how the places, people and way of life had moved on and of course fit in a spot of fishing along the way.
