Résumé:
Comme le dit un judicieux personnage de Mark Twain, M. Tête de Pudding, un chou-fleur c’est simplement un chou qui a été au collège. Sa monstruosité s’explique par un excès d’éducation, mais c’est bien d’avoir une explication si poussée soit-elle, car nous avons ainsi l’heureuse satisfaction d’expliquer comment le chou-fleur en est venu à ce point.

Résumé:
Comme le dit un judicieux personnage de Mark Twain, M. Tête de Pudding, un chou-fleur c’est simplement un chou qui a été au collège. Sa monstruosité s’explique par un excès d’éducation, mais c’est bien d’avoir une explication si poussée soit-elle, car nous avons ainsi l’heureuse satisfaction d’expliquer comment le chou-fleur en est venu à ce point. Or les champignons n’ont aucune éducation. Leurs formes affirment une méconnaissance totale de tout usage. Ils ne sont même pas monstrueux. Ambigus et radieux, ils tournent en dérision les plus élémentaires principes. S’ils se pourvoient de ce que l’on appelle un pied et un chapeau, chaque espèce, sur ce thème d’une pauvreté remarquable, s’ingénie à des variations dont la gratuité confine à l’insolence.

Résumé:
Très critique de l’industrie agroalimentaire, mais aussi très perplexe devant les actions posées par les militants de la cause animale, Dominic Lamontagne a voulu engager un dialogue avec un militant végane afin d’approfondir les enjeux liés à l’alimentation et à l’avenir de notre agriculture. Sous forme d’échange épistolaire, il croise le fer avec Jean-François Dubé sur l’antispécisme et le véganisme autour de trois grands thèmes: l’éthique, la santé et l’environnement. Mais entre la paysannerie «omnicole» que défend Dominic et le véganisme éthique promu par Jean-François, les points de vue semblent irréconciliables. Si le repas entre les deux comparses est impossible, le débat, lui, est bien substantiel.

Résumé:
In this book, the BBC food journalist Dan Saladino travels the world to experience and document our most at-risk foods before it’s too late. He tells the fascinating stories of the people who continue to cultivate, forage, hunt, cook, and consume what the rest of us have forgotten or didn’t even know existed. From an Indigenous American chef refining precolonial recipes to farmers tending Geechee red peas on the Sea Islands of Georgia, the individuals profiled in this volume are essential guides to treasured foods that have endured in the face of rampant sameness and standardization. They also provide a roadmap to a food system that is healthier, more robust, and, above all, richer in flavor and meaning.

Résumé:
Feeding kids can often feel like climbing a mountain, and sometimes like an endless series of rejections and failures. With picky eating preferences changing at every turn, meals that were a mainstay one week are inexplicably pushed aside when they hit the table the next. Because kids don't care about what they're serving at the new It Restaurant, the food fads of the year or how long you spend in the kitchen—either they like what they're eating ... or they’ll let you know about it! But surely chefs, with all of their accolades, awards and years of experience don't go through this too ... do they? What food writer Joanna Fox discovered might surprise you. It turns out we’re all in the same boat, even Canada’s top culinary professionals from coast to coast. Inside ''Little critics'', you'll find out how our top chefs please even the most suspicious, judgmental or fastidious of early eaters, with recipes including Jeremy Charles’s go-to stew, Suzanne Barr’s Cauliflower Cheese Bake, Susur Lee’s favourite childhood chicken, Danny Smiles’s Italian family dinner, Dyan Solomon’s Green Hulk Risotto, Vikram Vij’s Butter Chicken Schnitzel, Ryusuke Nakagawa’s Cheesy Chicken Katsu, Billy Alexander’s Frybread Stuffed Pizza, Chuck Hughes’s Pappardelle Pesto and Michael Smith’s showstopper pancakes, Tara O’Brady’s hearty Oatmeal Waffles, and Anna Olson’s Gourmet Goo Skillet Brownies. ''Little critics'' is chock-full of ideas for every kind of meal, with easy-to-follow recipes for breakfast and brunch; vegetarian, fish and meat mains; soups, snacks and sides; and desserts and drinks too. With food this good, even the adults will be asking for more.

Résumé:
This book explores food from a philosophical perspective, bringing together sixteen leading philosophers to consider the most basic questions about food: What is it exactly? What should we eat? How do we know it is safe? How should food be distributed? What is good food? David M. Kaplan's erudite and informative introduction grounds the discussion, showing how philosophers since Plato have taken up questions about food, diet, agriculture, and animals. However, until recently, few have considered food a standard subject for serious philosophical debate. Each of the essays in this book brings in-depth analysis to many contemporary debates in food studies--Slow Food, sustainability, food safety, and politics--and addresses such issues as "happy meat," aquaculture, veganism, and table manners. The result is a resource that guides readers to think more clearly and responsibly about what we consume and how we provide for ourselves, and illuminates the reasons why we act as we do.
