Stefan Gates on E Numbers
'Stefan Gates on E Numbers' is a myth-busting celebration of 'E's--the additives and preservatives that make up Britain's most feared ingredients. Most of the food we eat has them yet we are hugely suspicious of them and believe that they cause everything from twitchy eyelids to colon cancer. In this book Stefan discusses just how bad our food would taste, how wrong it would look and how potentially lethal it would be if we didn't have E numbers. You may not realize that many of the finest foods on the planet (including caviar, fine hams and wines) rely on E's. And if you think nature is good and Es are bad, you'd be wrong: the natural world is awash with dangerous toxins (apples contain cya...

In the Danger Zone
In the acclaimed series, "Cooking in the Danger Zone", award-winning food writer Stefan Gates eats fat-tailed sheep with Taliban warlords in Afghanistan, yak penis with Communist officials in China and UN subsistance rations with refugees in Uganda. The result is a ground-breaking and sometimes shocking television series that uses food to understand a world in crisis. Behind the scenes as each trip unfolds, Stefan struggles to avoid making a grotesque parody of a reality TV cookery show, keeping a diary of his experiences and the emotional rollercoaster that he finds himself on as he goes. His account is a mixture of comedy and tragedy - a travelogue that blends culture, food and politics, and ultimately a journey into some sort of enlightenment in the midst of chaos and ambiguity.

Capital and Corporal Punishment in Anglo-Saxon England
Anglo-Saxon authorities often punished lawbreakers with harsh corporal penalties, such as execution, mutilation and imprisonment. Despite their severity, however, these penalties were not arbitrary exercises of power. Rather, they were informed by nuanced philosophies of punishment which sought to resolve conflict, keep the peace and enforce Christian morality. The ten essays in this volume engage legal, literary, historical, and archaeological evidence to investigate the role of punishment in Anglo-Saxon society. Three dominant themes emerge in the collection. First is the shift from a culture of retributive feud to a system of top-down punishment, in which penalties were imposed by an auth...
Eat Grub
Entomophagy - eating insects - is hardly a new phenomenon. We've eaten bugs for centuries, and many countries around the world continue to enjoy them in modern cuisine. But insect eating is currently experiencing a rise in popularity. Restaurants are dishing up insects, the UN is publishing reports on the merits of insect-heavy diets and the Nordic Food Lab is exploring how delicious insects can be. The media is now talking about the ethics, the eco benefits and the economic sense behind incorporating entomophagy into our lives. This book by the founders of Grub - a company which sells and promotes edible insects - features 55 accessible recipes using a variety of bugs, from grasshoppers to mealworms. It takes its inspiration from cuisines around the word to present a range of small plates, meals, desserts and even cocktails using whole and ground insects. It explores where edible insects come from, how they're farmed and how to grill, pruree, grind and bake them.
