Roberto Pinto traça, neste livro, um panorama da gastronomia brasileira nos últimos 40 anos. A pretexto de uma narrativa biográfica sobre mim e também dos chefs Mara Salles e Alex Atala, vai percorrendo as mudanças pelas quais passaram a cozinha brasileira desde a vinda dos franceses Claude Troisgros e Laurent Suaudeau para o Brasil, nos anos 1980. Ele conta de como o ofício de cozinheiro transformou-se ao longo dessas décadas e como os vários produtos regionais passaram a ser valorizados e a fazer parte da mesa dos badalados restaurantes de cozinha brasileira. Culto e determinado, o jornalista investiga a história entrevistando chefs e produtores artesanais. Também aponta as dificuldades de normatização dos bons produtos artesanais, o que os impede de estar legalmente presentes em muitas mesas de restaurantes e lares brasileiros. É uma leitura instigante e inspiradora, que nos remete a uma boa reflexão a respeito da nossa gastronomia.

L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food

The maverick chef and co-founder of the wildly popular Kogi BBQ taco trucks, pays homage to the city he loves with this cookbook that captures the inventive, creative, and border crossing spirit of Los Angeles "Spaghetti Junction" is the bittersweet nickname native Angelenos use to describe the famously tangled freeway interchanges that define L.A. For Roy Choi, the neighborhoods in the shadow of these overpasses are emblematic of all that he loves about the city: its sense of invention, its resourcefulness, the way disparate cultures come together to form their own patois, street food, music, insults-and the energy that results. A gritty, charming, and flavorful love letter to Los Angeles, L.A. Son is the story of Choi's love of food and his evolution as a chef. Choi returns to his childhood afternoons at his parents' Korean restaurant, his nights in L.A.'s gambling halls, and his pizza-fueled studying at the Culinary Institute of America before making his way into some of the best restaurants in America. It is a transporting, multifaceted story that tells the unlikely tale of how a Korean-American kid went from lowriding in the streets of L.A. to becoming an acclaimed chef. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF with recipes and tools from the book.

Delizia!: The Epic History of the Italians and Their Food

Buon appetito! Everyone loves Italian food. But how did the Italians come to eat so well? The answer lies amid the vibrant beauty of Italy's historic cities. For a thousand years, they have been magnets for everything that makes for great eating: ingredients, talent, money, and power. Italian food is city food. Delizia! is much more than a history of Italian food. It is a history of Italy told through the flavors and character of its cities. A dynamic chronicle that is full of surprises, Delizia! draws back the curtain on much that was unknown about Italian food and exposes the long-held canards. It interprets the ancient Arabic map that tells of pasta's true origins, and shows that Marco Polo did not introduce spaghetti to the Italians, as is often thought, but did have a big influence on making pasta a part of the American diet. Most important, it explains the origins and growth of the world's greatest urban food culture. With its delectable mix of vivid storytelling, groundbreaking research, and shrewd analysis, Delizia! is as appetizing as the dishes it describes.

Agave Spirits: The Past, Present, and Future of Mezcals

All tequilas are mezcals; all mezcals are made from agaves; and every bottle of mezcal is the remarkable result of collaborations among agave entrepreneurs, botanists, distillers, beverage distributors, bartenders, and more. How these groups come together in this 'spirits world' is the subject of this fascinating new book by the acclaimed ethnobotanist Gary Paul Nabhan and the pioneering restauranteur David Suro Piñera. Join them as they delight in the diversity of the distillate agave spirits, as they endeavor to track down the more distant kin in the family of agaves, and as, along the way, they reveal the stunning innovations that have been transforming the industry around tequilas and mezcals in recent decades. The result of the authors' fieldwork and on-the-ground interviews with mezcaleros in eight Mexican states, Agave Spirits shows how traditional methods of mezcal production are inspiring a new generation of individuals, including women, both in and beyond the industry. And as they reach back into a rich, centuries-long history, Nabhan and Suro Piñera make clear that understanding the story behind a bottle of mezcal, more than any other drink, will not only reveal what lies ahead for the tradition-including its ability to adapt in the face of the climate crisis-but will also enrich the drinking experience for listeners.
