Chicago Review Press Culinary Reactions: The Everyday Chemistry of
Book SynopsisWhen you're cooking, you're a chemist! Every time you follow or modify a recipe, you are experimenting with acids and bases, emulsions and suspensions, gels and foams. In your kitchen you denature proteins, crystallize compounds, react enzymes with substrates, and nurture desired microbial life while suppressing harmful bacteria and fungi. And unlike in a laboratory, you can eat your experiments to verify your hypotheses. In Culinary Reactions, author Simon Quellen Field turns measuring cups, stovetop burners, and mixing bowls into graduated cylinders, Bunsen burners, and beakers. How does altering the ratio of flour, sugar, yeast, salt, butter, and water affect how high bread rises? Why is whipped cream made with nitrous oxide rather than the more common carbon dioxide? And why does Hollandaise sauce call for "clarified" butter? This easy-to-follow primer even includes recipes to demonstrate the concepts being discussed, including: Whipped Creamsicle Topping—a foam; Cherry Dream Cheese—a protein gle; Lemonade with Chameleon Eggs—an acid indicator; and more!

Surrey Books,U.S. Craft Coffee: A Manual: Brewing a Better Cup at
Book SynopsisNamed a top food & drink book of 2017 by Food Network, Wired, Sprudge, and Booklist.This comprehensive but accessible handbook is for the average coffee lover who wants to make better coffee at home. Unlike other coffee books, this one focuses exclusively on coffee—not espresso—and explores multiple pour-over, immersion, and cold-brew techniques on 10 different devices.Thanks to a small but growing number of dedicated farmers, importers, roasters, and baristas, coffee quality is at an all-time high. But for nonprofessionals, achieving café quality at home can seem out of reach. With dozens of equipment options, conflicting information on how to use that equipment, and an industry language that, at times, doesn’t seem made for the rest of us, it can be difficult to know where to begin.Craft Coffee: A Manual, written by a coffee enthusiast for coffee enthusiasts, is a comprehensive guide to improving your brew at home. The book provides all the information readers need to discover what they like in a cup of specialty coffee—and how to replicate the perfect cup day after day. From the science of extraction and brewing techniques to choosing equipment and deciphering coffee bags, Craft Coffee focuses on the issues—cost, time, taste, and accessibility—that home coffee brewers negotiate and shows that no matter where you are in your coffee journey, you can make a great cup at home.Trade ReviewPraise for Craft Coffee: A Manual:“Provides all the information budding javaphiles need to discover what they like in a cup of specialty coffee—and how to replicate the perfect cup at home.” —Food Network“Build a better brew by mastering 10 manual methods, from French Press to Chemex, with this comprehensive guide.” —Imbibe Magazine“Like the coffee bean, Jessica Easto’s book . . . dives deep and reaches wide as it teaches consumers how to improve their daily cup.“ —Chicago Tribune“Engaging and fun . . . . I really can’t recommend Craft Coffee: A Manual enough. If you’re even mildly curious about brewing coffee at home, it’s absolutely worth a read.” —BuzzFeed“Easto’s manual for coffee enthusiasts goes beyond mere brew guide to pull back the curtain on the bean itself, coffee processing and roasting, and industry jargon—we’re on to you, tattooed barista. . . . Easto offers a thorough overview of coffee that is never elitist in tone, emphasizing that individual taste should always be one’s guide. . . . Clearly written and comprehensive, this book belongs in every home barista’s tool kit.” —Booklist, starred review“Craft Coffee is a beautifully written guide to improving your home coffee no matter what your brew method or current coffee setup. . . . If this book doesn’t make your brew better, then I’m coming over to your house every morning, because your coffee is already top notch.” —Sprudge“Eliminates the intimidation factor from manual brewing. . . . This guide offers value for new cafés or novice baristas, as well as the casual consumer.” —Fresh Cup Magazine“If you’re ready to learn more about perfecting your morning cup, this is a great place to start.” —Wired“There’s nothing quite like home brewing for sheer satisfaction. This book will help brewers to finesse their technique and select the best equipment.” —Perfect Daily Grind“The small hardcover includes recipes and simply explains how to use equipment and produce tastier coffees.” —Eater Chicago“A well-rounded presentation of coffee basics in an easily digestible format. From helping readers understand the origins of coffee and how it’s processed, to deciphering the vast array of available brewing methods and how to use them, Jessica and Andreas have put together an engaging resource that holds value for home brewers and professionals alike. Full of wonderful illustrations, convenient tables, and helpful sidebars, this is a coffee book well worth poring over.” —Ellie Bradley, editor, Fresh Cup MagazineTable of ContentsINTRODUCTION How to Use This Book The Many Waves of Coffee Specialty Coffee versus Craft Coffee CHAPTER 1: Brewing Basics Extraction Strength and Yield Brew Ratio and Dose Grind Size and Contact Time Water Temperature Pour Dialing It In CHAPTER 2: Choosing Hardware Full-Immersion versus Pour-Over Brewing Devices How Do Filters Factor In?

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Emotional Freedom Technique for Animals and Their
Book SynopsisEnergetically reprogram your animal’s behavioural, emotional, and health patterns with EFT. Well known for its effectiveness with humans, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also provides an excellent hands-on method for treating behavioural, emotional, and health challenges in animals through simple point-tapping practices and focused intention. In this guide, animal communicator Joan Ranquet explores how to apply the energetic bodywork method of EFT on animals such as dogs, cats, and horses. The author explains the fundamentals of EFT, showing how, as you tap on certain acupressure points with a specific intention in mind, the animal will experience energetic release on the levels of mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Exploring the emotional life of animals, she looks at what can create challenges for them as well as how to help animals recover and heal. The author presents maps to illustrate the specific EFT acupressure points on dogs, cats, and horses and provides sample point sequences and intention “scripts” geared to specific ailments, conditions, and behavioural challenges, as well as end-of-life care. Targeted to work with and relieve difficult emotions, the points used in EFT sequences each have a “feel-good” aspect to them, either a calming or releasing effect, and the scripts work to help break up old behavioural or emotional patterning. Presenting a way to cut straight to the energetic source of the problems animals experience and provide relief even if you don’t know the cause of their pain, this guide will help you not only become closer to your animal companions but also improve their well-being as well as your own.Trade Review“Joan’s intuitive ability to feel into the emotional life of animals is profound and a reflection of her beautiful heart. In this book, she teaches us how to employ EFT or ‘tapping’ to heal their wounds and traumas and to better understand them. The journey of this book is not only practical, well organized, and thorough, it’s deeply moving.” * Jane Lynch, actress and animal advocate *“The best on the subject! If you truly want to support your animal companion toward wellness and create a harmonious household, Joan’s book is imperative. You’ll learn how to do everything from breaking up negative patterns to releasing the emotions and trauma causing challenging behavior. Everything you need to know about EFT—and becoming the guardian your animal needs you to be—is in these educational, informative, and relatable pages.” * CYNDI DALE, author of Energy Healing for Trauma, Stress & Chronic Illness and The Subtle Body *“Emotional Freedom Technique for Animals and Their Humans is something every loving animal guardian should include in their library of essential books—it’s phenomenal, earth-shattering, brilliant, and groundbreaking. Get the book, read it, and put it into action. You deserve it. Your animal friends want it, and the world can rise if humans gain such knowledge!” * Dr. RICHARD E. PALMQUIST, DVM, integrative veterinarian and past president of the American Holistic *“Joan Ranquet gives the science behind the problems our animals experience while clearly giving solutions. Her clear charts and diagrams show the specific points to be tapped on different species, with descriptions of the physical and emotional indications for each point. Energy fields reach far beyond our physical bodies and affect everyone around us. Your distress about your pet’s constant barking or nighttime feline howling magnifies their imbalance and can make things worse. When you soothe both yourself and your animal, miracles can happen.” * CHRISTINA CHAMBREAU, DVM, CVH, certified veterinary homeopath, speaker, and author of Healthy Animal *“Joan explains the anatomy, physiology, and the reasons why EFT works. The nerd in me loves all the details and explanations. The busy working veterinarian in me loves the simplicity. Every animal lover, worker, and dreamer should own this book.” * JILL TODD, DVM, certified veterinary acupuncturist, certified veterinary chiropractor, and animal co *“Joan Ranquet’s work with animals and humans brings deep compassion and self-healing to a higher level for all life. At first glance, this book is for animal companions. Glance again and find the healing tools for all humans—and all beings. Another great book by Joan!” * MARGARET ANN LEMBO, aromatherapist, speaker, and author of Animal Totems and the Gemstone Kingdom *“In Emotional Freedom Technique for Animals and Their Humans, Joan Ranquet provides a clear path to bringing the power of EFT to our animal friends. The book takes us on a journey through the development of EFT using shared stories, clear instructions, and fun exercises. As in life, Joan imbues her writing with compassion, humility, and wisdom. Each chapter brings us closer to understanding how our animals arrive at psychological disharmony in their lives and how we can be empowered to release the patterns holding them back from vibrant health. Anyone can learn and use this simple yet powerful technique to help their pets thrive.” * LOLA MICHELIN, LAMP, SAMP, founder and director of the Northwest School of Animal Massage *Table of ContentsForeword by Ellie Laks Introduction PART ONE – Fundamentals What Is EFT and Why Do Our Animals Need It?The Practice in a Nutshell The Heart of the Matter: Emotional Well-Being My Shift to Tapping with Animals An Overview of Energy HealingKey to Energy Healing for Animals: Relaxation The Two Nervous Systems in Our HomesWhy EFT versus Other Energy Healing Techniques?

Birlinn General Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks: With Audio
Book SynopsisThis new 2023 edition includes an audio download link. Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland’s population speak the language. However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom’s cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.
