 | Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
Brand: Basic Books
<DIV> <p>Ever since Darwin and <i>The Descent of Man</i>, the existence of humans has been attributed to our intelligence and adaptability. But in <i>Catching Fire</i>, renowned primatologist Richard Wrangham presents a startling alternative: our evolutionary success is the result of cooking. In a groundbreaking theory of our origins, Wrangham shows that the shift from raw to cooked foods was the key factor in human evolution. When our ancestors adapted to using fire, humanity began. Once our hominid ancestors began cooking their food, the human digestive tract shrank and the brain grew. Time once spent chewing tough raw food could be sued instead to hunt and to tend camp. Cooking became the basis for pair bonding and marriage, created the household, and even led to a sexual division of labor. Tracing the contemporary implications of our ancestorsâ diets, <i>Catching Fire</i> sheds new light on how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. A pathbreaking new theory of human evolution, <i>Catching Fire</i> will provoke controversy and fascinate anyone interested in our ancient originsâor in our modern eating habits.</p> </div> | *$12.50 |

 | Real Food: What to Eat and Why
Brand: Bloomsbury USA
<DIV><DIV>Hailed as the âpatron saint of farmersâ marketsâ by the <I>Guardian </I>and called one of the âgreat food activistsâ by <I>Vanity Fair</I>âs David Kamp, Nina Planck is single-handedly changing the way we view âreal food.â A vital and original contribution to the hot debate about what to eat and why, <I>Real</I> <I>Food</I> is a thoroughly researched rebuttal to dietary fads and a clarion call for the return to old-fashioned foods.<BR> <BR>In lively, personal chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish, chocolate, and other real foods, Nina explains how ancient foods like beef and butter have been falsely accused, while industrial foods like corn syrup and soybean oil have created a triple epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The <I>New York Times</I> said that <I>Real Food</I> âposes a convincing alternative to the prevailing dietary guidelines, even those treated as gospel,â and that âradicalâ as Ninaâs ideas may be, the case she makes for them is âeminently sensible.â</DIV></DIV> <DIV><DIV><B>Nina Planck</B> grew up in Virginia selling vegetables at farmersâ markets and later created the first farmersâ markets in London, England. In New York City, she ran the legendary Greenmarkets. Nina also wrote <I>The Farmersâ</I> <I>Market Cookbook</I> and hosted a British television series on local food. Her latest company, Real Food, runs markets for traditional foods in American cities.</DIV></DIV> <DIV><DIV>Nina Planck has been called the "patron saint of farmers' markets" by the <I>Guardian </I>and one of the "great food activists" by <I>Vanity Fair</I>âs David Kamp. <I>Real Food</I> is her contribution to the debate about what to eat and why. It is a thoroughly researched rebuttal to dietary fads and a call for the return to old-fashioned foods.<BR> <BR>In chapters on produce, dairy, meat, fish, chocolate, and other 'real foods,' Planck explains how ancient foods like beef and butter have been falsely accused, while industrial foods like corn syrup and soybean oil have created a triple epidemic of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The <I>New York Times</I> said that <I>Real Food</I> "poses a convincing alternative to the prevailing dietary guidelines, even those treated as gospel," and that as "radical" as Nina's ideas may be, the case she makes for them is "eminently sensible."</DIV></DIV> <DIV><DIV><DIV>"Science is finally catching up to what our grandmothers knew long ago: that traditional foods, and even fats, are actually good for youâand a whole lot healthier than the creations of food technology. Drawing on the latest research and oldest folk wisdom, <I>Real Food</I> offers a persuasive and invigorating defense of eggs, butter, meat, and even lard (!), as well as a powerful critique of a food industry that aims to replace these standbys with its highly processed, and sometimes deadly, simulacra. Nina Planck has written a valuable and eye-opening book.â<B>â</B><B>Michael Pollan</B><B>, author of <I>The Omnivoreâs Dilemma</I></B></DIV></DIV><DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"A successful manager of urban green markets, Planck presents a contrarian view of what constitutes sound nutrition. She urges readers to think back to the kinds of diets that their grandmothers ate, regimens full of foods fresh from farms and from individual purveyors: meats, dairy, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Planck has a lot to offer about the role of fats in a healthy diet. Although most nutritionists worry about people consuming too much fat, Planck distinguishes good fats from bad, noting that many vital nutrients are absorbed into the body only dissolved in fat. She describes the differences between industrial fats that have been chemically saturated and hydrogenated and those fats that occur naturally in vegetables, fish, and meats, especially lauding the benefits of homemade lard. Planck draws a similar line between natural and industrial soy foods. She also encourages people to consume much more seafood, finding the threat of mercury contamination a bit overblown. Above all, Planck links good nutrition to sensible enjoyment of food in all its variety."â<B>Mark Knoblauch, <I>Booklist</I></B></DIV><DIV> </DIV><D IV>"Nina Planck is a good, stylish writer and a dogged researcher who writes directly, forthrightly and with an edge. She isn't afraid to make the occasional wisecrack ('No doubt, for some people, cracking open an egg is one chore too many') while taking unpopular positions. Her chosen fieldâshe is a champion of 'real' (as opposed to industrialized) foodâis one in which unpopular positions are easy to find. As Planck reveals, in her compellingly smart <I>Real Food: What to Eat and Why</I>, much of what we have learned about nutrition in the past generation or so is either misinformed or dead wrong, and almost all of the food invented in the last century, and especially since the Second World War, is worse than almost all of the food that we've been eating since we developed agriculture. This means, she says, that butter is better than margarine (so, for that matter, is lard); that whole eggs (especially those laid by hens who scratch around in the dirt) are better than egg whites, and that eggs in general are an integral part of a sound diet; that full-fat milk is preferable to skim, raw preferable to pasteurized, au naturel preferable to homogenized. She goes so far as to maintainâhorror of horrorsâthat chopped liver mixed with real schmaltz and hard-boiled eggs is, in a very real way, a form of health food. Like those who've paved the way before her, she urges us to eat in a natural, old-fashioned way. But unlike many of them, and unlike her sometimes overbearing compatriots in the Slow Food movement, she is far from dogmatic, making her case casually, gently, persuasively. And personally, Planck's philosophy grows directly out of her life history, which included a pair of well-educated parents who decided, when the author was two, to pull up stakes in Buffalo, N.Y., and take up farming in northern Virginia. Planck, therefore, grew up among that odd combination of rural farming intellectuals who not only wanted to raise food for a living but could explain why it made sense. Planck, who is now an author and a creator and manager of farmers' markets, has a message that can beâand isâsummed up in straightforward and simple fashion in her first couple of chapters. She then goes on to build her case elaborately, citing both recent and venerable studies, concluding in the end that the only sensible path for eating, the one that maintains and even improves health, the one that maintains stable weight and avoids obesity, happens to be the one that we all crave: not modern food, but traditional food, and not industrial food, but real food."â<B>Mark Bittman, <I>Publishers Weekly</I></B></DIV></DIV> | *$9.44 |
 | Real Food for Mother and Baby: The Fertility Diet, Eating for Two, and Baby's First Foods
Brand: Bloomsbury USA
<DIV><DIV><B>Following the success of <I>Real Food</I>, Nina Planckâs <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby </I>explains why real food is better for woman and child. <P></P></B>Nina Planck, one of the great food activists, changed the way we view old-fashioned foods like butter with her groundbreaking <I>Real Food</I>. T hen she got pregnant. Never one to accept conventional wisdom blindly, Nina found the usual advice about pregnancy and baby food riddled with myths and misunderstandings. In <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby</I>, Nina explains why many modern ideas about pregnancy and infant nutrition are wrongheaded and why traditional foods are best. While Nina can be controversialâher op-ed in the <I>New York Times </I>on vegan diets for infants was one of the paperâs most e-mailed articlesâ sheâs no contrarian. Readers applaud her candor; they also trust her research and welcome her advice. <P></P>Ninaâs basic premise hasnât changedâwhole foods are bestâbut some of the details are surprising. Pregnant women need meat and salt, not iron supplements. Nursing will be easier if you act like the mammal you are. Delaying the introduction of certain solid foods doesnât prevent allergies. Cereals are not the best foods for tiny eaters; meat and egg yolks are better. From conception to two years, the bodyâs overwhelming needs are for quality fat and protein, not for carrots and low-fat dairy. Even as she casts a skeptical eye on the conventional wisdom, Nina is reassuring. She shows you how to keep your baby healthy on good, simple food. <I>Real Food for Mother and Baby </I>will be the new classic on eating for two.</DIV></DIV> | *$8.95 |
