The life and times of the Great British Pudding, both savoury and sweet - with 80 recipes re-created for the 21st century home cook Jamie Oliver says of Pride and Pudding 'A truly wonderful thing of beauty, a very tasty masterpiece!' BLESSED BE HE THAT INVENTED PUDDING The great British pudding, versatile and wonderful in all its guises, has been a source of nourishment and delight since the days of the Roman occupation, and probably even before then. By faithfully recreating recipes from historical cookery texts and updating them for today's kitchens and ingredients, Regula Ysewijn has revived over 80 beautiful puddings for the modern home cook. There are ancient savoury dishes such as the Scottish haggis or humble beef pudding, traditional sweet and savoury pies, pastries, jellies, ices, flummeries, junkets, jam roly-poly and, of course, the iconic Christmas pudding. Regula tells the story of each one, sharing the original recipe alongside her own version, while paying homage to the cooks, writers and moments in history that helped shape them.

Listen up. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill food history book. Snack Time Chronicles: The Stories Behind Your Favorite Treats is a no-holds-barred dive into the legendary snacks that have shaped our lives. We’re not just talking about the fluff you get from some watered-down documentary. We’re talking about the real, gritty stories—the kind that reveal the blood, sweat, and genius that turned simple ideas into global icons. I’m Randall “Firestorm” Knox, and I don’t mince words. This book is your backstage pass to the snack world. From the fiery inception of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to the century-long dominance of Oreos, I’m taking you on a raw, unfiltered journey through the histories of the snacks you’ve devoured since you were a kid. You’ll get the inside scoop on how Coca-Cola went from a medicinal tonic to a cultural phenomenon, and how Pop-Tarts toasted their way into breakfast history. This isn’t just about food. It’s about the high-stakes game of branding, marketing, and staying relevant in an industry that eats its own for breakfast. We’re going to dissect every iconic campaign, every flavor experiment, and every moment of pure genius (or sheer madness) that propelled these snacks into our everyday lives. Expect sharp insights, intense analysis, and no sugarcoating—except when it comes to the snacks themselves. Whether it’s the addictive crunch of Pringles or the melt-in-your-mouth allure of M&M’s, I’m breaking down the elements that made these products unstoppable forces in the global market. This book isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s for those who crave the truth behind their favorite foods and have the guts to hear it straight from the mouth of someone who won’t let anything slide. So, grab your favorite snack and get ready to learn why you can’t resist it. But be warned—once you know what’s really behind these legendary products, you’ll never look at your snack cupboard the same way again. This is Snack Time Chronicles, and it’s as real as it gets.
What makes you, YOU? We are all special and unique. But we also have more in common than we think!

"We recognize that we have moved into a new globalism: that the world is one, economically and geopolitically; and that futurists extol the possibilities opened up by the new complex of silicon-based electronic interactive networks. Yet, at the same time, our thinking about who we are and what we are capable of as human beings remains pitifully inadequate and largely determined by nineteenth-century models. Thus, all talk of 'family values,' of 'virtues,' of new forms of collaboration and cooperation tends either to miss the point for to reinforce the most regressive aspects of our technology." ("Spirituality and Social Renewal series introduction) How can we foster the development of initiatives? How can enterprises such as community projects, schools, farms, and businesses be established in the best possible ways? How can we work as equals, sharing responsibilities and encouraging one another in our development while offering the highest-quality product or service? Vision in Action is a workbook for all who are involved in social creation--collaborative actions that can influence the social environment within which we live and where our ideas and actions can make a difference. This volume is a user-friendly, hands-on guide for developing healthy small organizations--ones with soul and spirit.
It's time to take back the kitchen. It's time to unlock the pantry and break free from the shackles of ready-made, industrial food. It's time to cook supper. The Lost Art of Real Cooking heralds a new old-fashioned approach to food-laborious and inconvenient, yet extraordinarily rewarding and worth bragging about. From jam, yogurt, and fresh pasta to salami, smoked meat, and strudel, Ken Albala and Rosanna Nafziger arm you with the knowledge and skills that let you connect on a deeper level with what goes into your body. Ken and Rosanna celebrate the patience it takes to make your own sauerkraut and pickles. They divulge the mysteries of capturing wild sourdoughs and culturing butter, the beauty of rendering lard, making cheese, and brewing beer, all without the fancy toys that take away from the adventure of truly experiencing your food. These foods were once made by the family, in the home, rather than a factory. And they can still be made in the smallest kitchens without expensive equipment, capturing flavors that speak of place and personality. What you won't find here is a collection of rigid rules for the perfect meal. Ken and Rosanna offer a wealth of recipes, history, and techniques that start with the basics and evolve into dishes that are entirely your own.
