The kitchen is called the heart of the home. It's where families and friends gather to prepare and enjoy meals together. But the kitchen is more than just a place to cook and eat. It's also a place where memories are made. From baking cookies with Grandma to making dinner with your partner, the kitchen is a hub of activity and a treasure trove of shared experiences.

Dinner Is Ruined: Unruly Rants from a Scottish Kitchen is a collection of 20 comedic eruptions by our man with the Olivetti and the steak knife, Nielsen Dinwoodie. He covers the nonsenses of food and drink culture, how we shouldn’t shop, could all cook better–and why the very best arguments always happen in the kitchen.

With clear logic and entertaining dialogues, the author presents many reasons for a vegetarian rather than a “flesh-eating” diet, and his arguments for not eating meat are as compelling today as when they were written.

All food has a story, reaching as far back into history as language itself. As languages followed and reflected the tides of civilizations, food language came to represent some of the highs and lows of how humans communicate: from the highbrow 'Chateauneuf du Pape: (the Pope's new castle)' to the 'nun's farts' of Jamaica (also known as 'beignets'). Chock full of food puns, linguistic did-you-knows and delectable trivia, this is the surprising and hilarious history of food, told through the lens of the fascinating evolution of language.

Moscow takes us on deep dives (sometimes literally) with fisherfolk, farmers, scientists, community activists, historians, hunters, and more, bringing back stories of the communities, workers, and environments involved—some thriving, some in jeopardy, all interconnected with food.

Gott sei Dank, dass es Schokolade gibt. So könnte man sagen. Denn dem Schlangengott Quetzalcoatl haben wir es zu verdanken, dass es Kakao und damit eben auch Schokolade gibt. So jedenfalls glaubten die Azteken, die Kakao für ein Geschenk von ihm an die Menschen hielten. Getrunken wurde der Kakao von den Azteken wie gesagt natürlich auch. Aber nicht mit Milch, so wie wir es kennen. Es handelte sich vielmehr um eine Mischung aus Wasser, Kakao, Vanille und Cayennepfeffer, manchmal auch Chili. Deshalb nannten die Azteken das Gebräu auch xocoatl, was soviel heißt wie bitteres Wasser.

So wurde der Rum auch genannt. Als Oliver Cromwell im Kampf um die Vorherrschaft auf den Meeren, der englischen Flotte den Befehl gab, das spanische Imperium in Westindien anzugreifen, kamen die Seeleute seiner Majestät anlässlich der Eroberung von Jamaika im Jahre 1655 zum ersten Mal mit jenem hochprozentigen Getränk in Berührung. Die ersten einschlägigen Erfahrungen mit dem "Seelentröster der Seeleute" machte Admiral Pen, als er Jamaika für die Krone Englands in Besitz genommen hatte.

Conoceremos la evolución de la cocina española, desde las tortas de harina de bellota íbera al caviar esférico de melón de Ferran Adrià. Descubriremos que el mejor relato sobre la fructífera convivencia entre las cocinas cristiana, judía y musulmana se lo debemos a la prostituta Aldonza, La lozana andaluza; que en el segundo viaje de Colón a las "Indias Occidentales", su marinería comió tres manatíes (vacas marinas) creyendo que eran sirenas poco agraciadas; que somos el único país que puede presumir de haber tenido un perro gourmet.

These days, hot chicken is a "must-try" Southern food. Restaurants in New York, Detroit, Cambridge, and even Australia advertise that they fry their chicken "Nashville-style." But for almost seventy years, hot chicken was made and sold primarily in Nashville's Black neighborhoods—and the story of hot chicken says something powerful about race relations in Nashville, especially as the city tries to figure out what it will be in the future. Hot, Hot Chicken recounts the history of Nashville's Black communities through the story of its hot chicken scene.

Kitchen Medicine tells the story of how Lewis made her way through mothering and feeding a sick child, aided by Lewis's growing confidence in front of the stove. It's about how she eventually saw her role as more than caretaker and fighter for her daughter's health and how she had to redefine what mothering—and feeding—looked like once her daughter was well. This is the story of learning to feed a child who can't seem to eat.
