Product Description

Philosophy has often been criticized for privileging the abstract; this volume attempts to remedy that situation. Focusing on one of the most concrete of human concerns, food, the editors argue for the existence of a philosophy of food. The collection provides various approaches to the subject matter, offering new readings of a number of texts -- religious, philosophical, anthropological, culinary, poetic, and economic. Included are readings ranging from Plato's Phaedo and Verses of Sen-No-Rikyu to Peter Singer's "Becoming a Vegetarian" and Jean-François Revel's Culture and Cuisine.

This reader will have particular appeal for philosophers working in social theory, feminist theory, and environmental ethics, and for those working on alternative approaches to such traditional subject areas as epistemology, aesthetics, and metaphysics.

Great synthesis of post-modern, feminist, Zen thought
This book is an excellent collection of essays from a wide variety of philosophers.This is certainly not a self-help book or an inspirational collection - it a thoughtful exploration of how the acts of cooking, eating, and thinkning have implications in feminist, post-modern, and Zen philosophy.Some of my favorite essays looked at how cooking is goverened by social power relationships, how one's diet is a political act, and how eating is an integral part of a person's understanding of Self and Other.I really dug this book.Finally, the title is a great play on Martin Heidegger's "Building, Dwelling, Thinking".Check them both out! ...

Product Description
The whole idea behind coming up with this new title Zero Oil Rotis and Subzis is not to totally preclude the intake of oil and ghee from your diet but just to restrict it to the prescribed limit per day and help balance your daily calorie intake. By including a zero oil subzi and roti as one meal in your daily diet, you can curb the intake of excess fats and calories. This helps you to enjoy both your favourite dishes and good health without worrying about an increasing waistline. With a well-chosen collection of 40 delicious recipes, I am sure this book will change the pre-conceived notion about having to essentially add oodles of oil to make Indian cooking tasty, and to help you make your family s meal times healthier and happier. ...

Adequate and interesting
I think the book is well done. It includes more fancy type recipes, than I expected, which was refreshing; but I pretty much stick to the basics because I share what I make with others, and some aren't as willing to try different flavors in their jams. I also expected to find at least three home-made cheese recipes, given the description of this product prior to my ordering it. ... Read more

Comprehensive, Highly Recommended
We manufacture and sell handcrafted portable chicken coops at [...]
We get many emails each week from visitors asking for advice on keeping a healthy flock of backyard chickens.
We recommend this book to all of our customers as it covers everything from basics to in-depth advice on every aspect of keeping chickens.
The book is beautifully designed and written by Ashley English, a well known blogger and homesteader.
We keep a copy handy for our own use whenever a tricky chicken scenario presents itself.

Nice book for beginner chicken owner.
I bought this book to get started raising backyard chickens.It was very helpful but not totally complete.I really liked the format/layout of this book and I enjoyed the great pictures.It was an easy to follow layout and easy to read.I did get a lot of helpful information from this book, and I have filled in the gaps of information with other books.It also looks nice enough to leave on the coffee table for reference.

Good but compared to the Dummies book too highly rated.
My wife and I are new to raising chickens so were looking for lots of information and that is why we bought this book. This book was highly recommended to me by a company who supplies chicken supplies and after reading the other very highly rated recommendations on this website we were expecting so much more out of this book. Perhaps our expectations were too high. We had just read "Raising Chickens for Dummies" by Willis & Ludlow and I highly recommend that book because it gives you so much more information than this book. This book is well written and easy to read and does provide the story of one person's experiences and learnings and photographs which are missing from the Dummies book. So is helpful to see what someone else went through but we were looking for lots of comprehensive information and more than we had obtained from the cheaper Dummies book and we did not get that. Perhaps it reinforced what we had already learned and was a good story but if someone were to only going to buy one book I would buy the Dummies book. I would say this is a good supplemental book to the Dummies book and is interesting reading but if you are looking for a whole lot of information I would recommend the Dummies book over this one.

Any rural or general library will find this a specific, practical guide
Homemade Living: Keeping Chickens: All You Need to Know to Care for a Happy, Healthy Flock includes 9 egg recipes and plans for mobile chicken housing, and packs in a fine guide to chickens. From choosing breeds for different needs to cleaning, housing and caring for chickens, this offers plans and photos in a reference perfect for newcomers to chicken raising methods. Any rural or general library will find this a specific, practical guide packed with color photos throughout.

Everything you could want to know about raising chickens & eggs
A must have book if you are even considering keeping Chickens.Ashley takes you step by step through the entire process from picking the breed to housing, feeding, cleaning, and collecting eggs.

The delicious recipes at the end of the book are an added bonus.My children especially loved "A Good Way To Dye" The how to on natural dyed eggs, using common found kitchen ingredients.The perfect Boiled Egg gave us the secret to not having those green rings around our hard-boiled eggs.

This a beautiful book, even if you don't end up keeping chickens there is much to learn as a consumer of eggs & chicken products. ... Read more

Product Description
What happens when a four-star chef and a culinary minimalist decide to join forces to create something different? They invent a new style that adapts to every occasion and every level of cooking expertise. Simple to Spectacular introduces a unique concept developed by one of the world's top chefs, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and Mark Bittman, author of How to Cook Everything and the New York Times's hugely popular column "The Minimalist." Ever since their award-winning collaboration on Jean-Georges: Cooking at Home with a Four-Star Chef, the acclaimed duo has been cooking up a repertoire of new dishes that can be prepared in any of five progressively sophisticated ways.

Simple to Spectacular features a total of 250 recipes in 50 groups. Each group begins with a simple, elegant recipe--a few ingredients combined for maximum effect--followed by fully detailed, increasingly elaborate variations. For example, a recipe for Grilled Shrimp with Thyme and Lemon leads to Grilled Shrimp and Zucchini on Rosemary Skewers, Grilled Shrimp with Apple Ketchup, Thai-style Grilled Shrimp on Lemongrass Skewers, and Grilled Shrimp Balls with Cucumber and Yogurt.
Every aspect of the meal is covered, from superb soups and salads to unforgettable side dishes, entrees, and desserts. In Simple to Spectacular, everything--from the basics to innovations by a four-star chef--is tailored for a quick Tuesday night dinner or an elegant weekend party.And in the now-classic Vongerichten-Bittman style, all of the recipes can be made in the kitchen of any home cook. With 80 full-color photographs giving a mouthwatering view of the Simple-to-Spectacular transformations, readers and cooks will eagerly explore the possibilities.Jean-Georges Vongerichten (right) won the 1998 James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef and Best New Restaurant. His Manhattan restaurants include Vong, Jo Jo, The Mercer Kitchen, and Jean Georges, which earned a rare four-star rating from the New York Times.

In Simple to Spectacular, two titans of the food world have created a truly groundbreaking cookbook.Here are 250 superb recipes arranged in a uniquely useful way: a basic recipe and four increasingly sophisticated variations, with each group (there are 50 groups in all) based on a given technique.This ingenious organization enables cooks of all levels of expertise to understand how a recipe is created and to re-create the brilliantly simple recipes and dazzling variations from one of our best food writers and home cooks teamed with one of America's greatest chefs.Amazon.com Review
What happens when a world-class chef--Jean Georges Vongerichten, tobe exact--writes a cookbook with a culinary minimalist, theNew York Times food columnist Mark Bittman? The answer is Simple toSpectacular, a book that presents more than 250 recipes in a unique way. Here's the drill: a few-ingredient "core" recipe is offered, followed by formulas for four increasingly sophisticated (though not necessarily more taxing) variations. Chicken Breasts in Foil with Rosemary and Olive Oil, for example, yields to recipes for the breasts with tomatoes, olives, and Parmesan; with mushrooms, shallots, and sherry; Thai style; and, finally, with foie gras and porcini mushroom. In hands other than the authors', the dishes could bebanal or overwrought. Vongerichten and Bittman triumph, however, presentingrichly imagined yet straightforward fare whose preparation almost allcooks can manage.

Dish categories range from soups, salads, and entrees toseasonings, sauces, and desserts. In a number of cases, a particular ingredient,such as pasta, or a technique, such as vegetable roasting, is explored (theauthors offer recipes for making plain pasta flavored with curry, forexample). The sauce section is particularly useful and provides interesting theme-and-variationrecipes for vinaigrettes and mayonnaises. Desserts, including Roasted Almond Ice Cream, Butter-Poached Pears withPraline, and Chocolate Tart in a Chocolate Crust, should please all sweetlovers. With 80 color photos, useful tips, and notes on food and equipment, Simple to Spectacular offers an original premise that will stimulate thought as well as great cooking. --Arthur Boehm ...

Winning Team!
What a wonderful cookbook! I have a solid cookbook collection and have always loved the books by Mark Bittman. This book, however, is absolutely a wonderful compilation of gorgeous recipes. An outstanding partnership. Buy it, you really won't regret it. From the best chicken stock I've ever made to wonderful desserts, this is one cookbook you will reach for again and again. From simple to spectacular is the perfect title. BUY IT!!!

Full of ideas and inspiration
This is a great book that any cook will actually use. The recipes are organized as variations on a theme, invitingimprovisation on the reader's part. If you cook, you'll love this book.

Really simple to spectacular?
I bought the book because it received high rating in the review. When I received the book today, I expected to see nice pictures to show the changes of a simple recipe then being presented in spectacular way. I am not sure whether the writer refers spectacular to some exotic, expensive or unusual ingredients or some cooking techniques in French terms. The recipes are pretty much grouped into each main ingredient and that ingredient is cooked in 4 different ways.

I am not a chef nor pro cook, only an enthusiastic home cook. Those are pretty much what I do at home. I use the same main ingredients and cook them in different ways on different days such as stir frying, roasting, grilling, with different seasonings or different filling etc.

If you have a collection of good cooking books from different regions even good family recipes, I don't think that you need to spend on this book. Thank God I didn't pay full price for the book.

Want to be popular? Entertain with recipes from this book.
Buy this book. I try to cook at least one item a week out of it, and sometimes several. Tonight I had the basic roasted chicken and the mustard and shallot potatoes with a side of lemon-garlic satueed spinach.

The recipes are relatively easy, quick considering the end result,help sharpen your technical skills as well as build your creativity.

I would also recommend Michael Robert's Secret Ingredients. These two books will make people rave about your food.

Bon Appetit!

Simple to Spectacular
Great book
The recipe's are extremely well written for a cookbook and the technical abilities of the chef are well represented.

if you are looking for a picture book though this is not for you as there are none.

this book leaves it all to you to decide how it is presented.

May be the best cookbook I've ever purchased!
My husband picked up this cookbook at our grocery store. We have tried almost every recipe in it, and we've liked every one.These recipes are easy to make and yummy! I'm not sure how the editors did it!

It's hard to pick favorites. If pressed I would say: first try the Sausage and Mushroom Soup, the Chopped Italian Salad, the Lamb Chops with Rosemary and Grapes, and the Rigatoni with Sausage and Tomato Cream Sauce. But there are many others we like as well. We're thinking we may need another copy as we're wearing out the one we have!

We've also decided to try some of Food and Wine's other cookbooks.

a go-to cookbook
You can't go wrong with this book! No complicated instructions or exotic ingredient lists here. Despite their simplicity, these recipes will satisfy the busy foodie with high standards but little time to shop and prep. The mouth-watering photos are indispensible... both as inspiration and a helpful tip on what to expect from the finished meal. Each recipe also includes a wine pairing and creative options. With the help of this book, I've painlessly improved my cooking skills and repertoire. The companion book "quick from scratch one-dish meals cookbook" is equally delightful.

Good Cookbook
