Book Description
Not to brag, but I truly believe that my Mother is the best cook in the world. Bar none, she has a great heart when it comes to making her best cuisine. Her specialty is green chili. In Spanish it's pronounced chile verde. This homemade chili verde could be the main dish eaten at any given meal, but add a homemade tortilla and a side of frijoles (beans) or a side of fried potatoes or maybe mashed; it was a meal to die for. One of my favorite dishes was smothered bean burritos. So anything you added to the green chili was always a feast The process of making the best dish in world comes quite simply by getting a pound of pork butt and cutting it into small one half inch squares. Then fry the squares until they are golden brown. Using the grease from the fried pork you then brown the flour to make the gravy, add your green chili, preferably jalapenos, diced tomatoes, Mexican oregano, cominos, garlic salt, and of course salt and pepper. I can't give it all away because then it would be giving away an old family recipe and that would be taboo. Making great meals is a learned thing. By this I mean that Mom learned to make green chili from a Mexican woman from Guanajuato, Mexico back in 1960. This is the year that Mom and Dad started a Mexican restaurant business in Denver. The restaurant was called Quintana Roo. Whoever ate her chili, always would craved for more. The neighboring kids would always hang around to see if Mom would roll them a quick burrito and then they would walk away with the biggest smiles. In 1927 Great Grandfather Francisco Duran visited Henry, Manuelita and the kids prior to Mom's birth. He shared with them a story about a humongous garden that was full of green chili. Within this garden the chili was thriving, growing in abundance. Then one day the chili started dying off. The garden was over taken with weeds and eventually became nonexistent. The metaphor here is that Grandpa Francisco equated the garden to our nation and the people who work, as the chili. When you take the chili out of the garden then your garden is dead. When you take the worker, laborer, bracero, miner, gardener, lumber jack out of our nation, you have nation that is dying. Who built the Great pyramids, The Panama Canal, the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, and that Golden Gate Bridge? Yes you've guessed it, the Chili Verde of our society. Have fun reading this book. The stories are real and only reflect a part of your history. We all need a little chili verde in our lives, so enjoy its flavor. May it be hot, medium or mild

Book Description
For more than ten thousand years, humans have been fascinated by a seemingly innocuous plant with bright-colored fruits that bite back when bitten. Ancient New World cultures from Mexico to South America combined these pungent pods with every conceivable meat and vegetable, as evident from archaeological finds, Indian artifacts, botanical observations, and studies of the cooking methods of the modern descendants of the Incas, Mayas, and Aztecs. In Chile Peppers: A Global History, Dave DeWitt, a world expert on chiles, travels from New Mexico across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia chronicling the history, mystery, and mythology of chiles around the world and their abundant uses in seventy mouth-tingling recipes.

Book Description
Dr Mike Moreno's 17 Day Dietis a revolutionary new weight-loss programme that activates your skinny gene so that you burn fat day in and day out. The diet is structured around four 17-day cycles: Accelerate- the rapid weight loss portion that helps flush sugar and fat storage from your system; Activate-the metabolic restart portion with alternating low and high calorie days to help shed body fat; Achieve - this phase is about learning to control portions and introducing new fitness routines; Arrive - A combination of the first three cycles to keep good habits up for good. Each cycle changes your calorie count and the food that you're eating. The variation that Dr. Mike calls 'body confusion' is designed to keep your metabolism guessing. This is not a diet that relies on a tiny list of approved foods, gruelling exercise routines, or unrealistic calorie counts that leave you hungry and unfulfilled. Each phase comes with extensive lists of what dieters can and can't eat while on the phase, but also offers acceptable cheats. He advises readers not to drink while on the diet, but concedes that if they absolutely have to then they should at least drink red wine. Dr Mike knows that a diet can only work if it's compatible with the real world, and so he's designed the programme with usability as a top priority.

Follow a food trail and you’ll find yourself crisscrossing oceans. Join M. F. K. Fisher Grand Prize for Excellence in Culinary Writing award-winning author Nina Mukerjee Furstenau as she picks through lost tastes with recipes as codes to everything from political resistance to comfort food and much more.

Food history is a world heritage story that has all the drama of a tense thriller or maybe a mystery. Whose food is it? Who gets to tell its tale? Respect for food history might tame the accusations of appropriation, but what is at stake as food traditions and biodiversity ebb away is the great, and not always good, story of us.
