Find Your Food Voice - Julie Duffy Dillon - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Find Your Food Voice - Julie Duffy Dillon - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Find your Food Voice to identify what’s disconnecting you from knowing how to eat and stop dieting forever. Are you tired of bouncing from diet to diet? Are you tired of all the food rules? Are you tired of thinking about food all the time? The diet industry has confused us into conflating health with weight. It has sold us countless diets and told us countless rules that have thoroughly mixed up our relationship with food, with our bodies, and with health. Using well-worn systems of oppression, it has convinced us we need to conform to an impossible ideal, and that it is our fault when we inevitably fall short. If you’ve said to yourself, That’s it, no more diets, but find yourself at a loss as to what to do next, this book is for you. In Find Your Food Voice, Registered Dietician/Nutritionist Julie Duffy Dillon shares how to escape that well-worn path of shame and blame to defy diet culture, declare body liberation, and finally reclaim your peace. Use therapeutic diet recovery strategies and the principles of intuitive eating to find your innate food voice and finally ditch the diets for good. Reconnecting with your Food Voice is hard work and good work. It is messy and beautiful. It starts here.

An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) - Jenny Lau - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world.From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who ''owns'' what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, An A-Z of Chinese Food will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food. '' An A-Z of Chinese Food is a landmark in British food writing, somewhere between a book, a magazine, and a treatise, but completely its own thing. Jenny has the rare ability to dissect unwieldy matters of identity, race and culture with the lightness of touch that all serious topics need, combatting preconceived notions about Chinese cuisine with immaculate research and subversive humour. This book is a tonic to the mainstream of food writing'' Jonathan Nunn ''A leading light in the British Chinese community'' Fuchsia Dunlop ''A balm for the soul...

Cleo - Helen Brown - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

For all those people who say they aren''t cat people, but deep down know they are. ''Possibly the next Marley & Me '' Red ''A reminder of the gratitude humans owe to our companion animals'' Daily Mail Helen Brown wasn''t a cat person, but her nine-year-old son Sam was. So when Sam heard someone mention that her cat had just had a litter, he pleaded to go and see them. Helen was powerless to resist and the deal was done - to be delivered when the kitten was big enough to leave her mother. Tragically, just a week later, Sam was killed in a road accident. Not long after this, a little black kitten was delivered to the family''s doorstep. Totally numbed by Sam''s death, Helen had completely forgotten about the new arrival, which belonged in another universe when Sam was still alive.Helen was ready to send her back, but Sam''s younger brother, Rob, identified with the kitten who''d also lost her brothers. Stroking her, it was the first time Helen had seen him smile since Sam''s death. There was no choice, the kitten - dubbed Cleo - had to stay. Cleo''s immense character slowly taught the family to laugh again, giving them hope of getting back to normal. Over the next 24 years she went on to become the high priestess of Helen''s household - vetoing her new men, terrifying visiting dogs and playing an integral role in their lives to become both a guardian and beloved friend.

Joan lives in Los Angeles and is just starting out as a writer for the newspaper food pages. Imogen lives on Camano Island outside Seattle, writing a monthly column for a Pacific Northwest magazine, and while she can hunt elk and dig for clams, she''s never tasted fresh garlic - exotic fare in the Northwest US of the 1960s.

A REESE''S BOOK CLUB PICK''A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds and rivalries only sisters can share'' Reese Witherspoon In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi''s and Chicken Frannie''s have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state - and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore , who grew up working for her mom at Mimi''s before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie''s. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars, the reality TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the winner.

With a greedy producer stoking the flames, their friendly rivalry quickly turns into a game of chicken. Yet when family secrets become public knowledge, the sisters must choose: will they fight with each other, or for their heritage? After all, all''s fair in love, and war, and chicken . . .
