The Cambridge History of Scandinavia

This volume presents a comprehensive exposition of both the prehistory and medieval history of the whole of Scandinavia. The first part of the volume surveys the prehistoric and historic Scandinavian landscape and its natural resources, and tells how man took possession of this landscape, adapting culturally to changing natural conditions and developing various types of community throughout the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. The rest - and most substantial part of the volume - deals with the history of Scandinavia from the Viking Age to the end of the Scandinavian Middle Ages (c. 1520). The external Viking expansion opened Scandinavia to European influence to a hitherto unknown degree. A Christian church organisation was established, the first towns came into being, and the unification of the three medieval kingdoms of Scandinavia began, coinciding with the formation of the unique Icelandic 'Free State'.

In "Medieval Scandinavia", Birgit and Peter Sawyer question assumptions about early Scandinavian history, including the supposed leading role of free and equal peasants and their position in founding churches. They...

House of Vinegar

An exploration of the acid bite of vinegar and how it influences and elevates all aspects of cooking, from a James Beard award-winning chef and vinegar evangelist, with 80 recipes for vinegars and dishes that use them. From owning a Bon Appétit Best New Restaurant to being a Food & Wine Best New Chef to winning a James Beard award, Jonathon Sawyer has earned almost every food world accolade. In House of Vinegar, his fascinating and compelling chef's take on using vinegar, he utilizes acid to revolutionize dishes by enhancing and balancing flavor. Starting with the history of vinegar, he describes how to make your own vinegars at home, followed by preparations for use in vinaigrettes, sauces, marinades, braises, desserts, and even drinks--dishes like Monday Night Pork Chop with Salsa Verde, Smoky Peach Confit Chicken Wings, Sea Scallop Ceviche, and Olive Oil and Vinegar Gelato. With his unique and engaging voice, Sawyer helps professionals and home cooks alike understand how to channel the power of sour.
