Book Description
Look at any recipe for a savory dish and chances are it will start with this step: fry onions in a pan over medium heat. Onions—and their allium family relatives, shallots, garlic, chives, and leeks—are one of the most heavily used ingredients in cuisines all over the world. You’ll rarely find them in the spotlight, though—except for when they are fried into rings or used to repel vampires. In this book, Martha Jay gives alliums their due, offering an illuminating history of these cherished plants that follows the trail of their aromas to every corner of the globe and from ancient times up to today. Going back to the earliest recipes from ancient Mesopotamia, Jay traces the spread of alliums along trade routes through Central Asia and into ancient Greece and Rome. Likewise she follows their spread in East Asia, where they have become indispensable, and of course into Europe and the Americas, where the onion—and its odor—gave rise to the name “Chicago” and the leek became the national symbol of Wales. Celebrated, denigrated, prescribed, and proscribed, onions, garlic, and their relatives can be found—as Jay lavishly demonstrates—in the histories of peasants and kings, in cuisine and art, in tales of colonization and those of resistance, and in medicinal cures and magical potions alike. Her book is a welcome celebration of some of the most important ingredients in the world.

Book Description
Originally published in 1990, Onions and Allied Crops, is a comprehensive account of the edible allium, examined across three volumes. The collection examines the major economic and dietary importance of edible alliums in most countries, and brings together contributions from experts across multiple disciplines, including food scientists, economists, agriculturalists and biochemists. The books address selection and breeding of locally adapted cultivars and the development of cultural techniques, allowing for cultivation across the tropics, to the sub-arctic regions. As such the collection examines the allium as a major agricultural asset and the impact this has had on many economies. In this third volume, the analysis and focus is upon biochemistry, food science and minor crops. This volume will be of use and of interest to food scientists, economists, agriculturalists and biochemists alike.

Book Description
Black and white print version of the first NO GARLIC cookbook. This is the worlds first and only full series of No Garlic Cookbooks written by an author who actually has a serious allergy to garlic. This low cost edition is in black and white but is still packed full of mouthwatering recipes with a black and white photo for each recipe: including crispy roast potatoes and slow roast chicken, meatballs in a rich tomato sauce and fillet of beef wrapped in parma ham. The aim of this book: to transform our lives (and plates!) with garlic-free cooking. Currently, millions of people across the globe - from those with intolerances, IBS or allergies to those who just can't stand the smell of garlic - are struggling to find an alternative to garlic or are simply putting up with it. However, it's entirely possible to take control of our cooking and what we eat, while still using choice fresh ingredients and producing some truly mouth-watering dishes, all with absolutely no use of garlic. This is the first of 9 volumes of No Garlic cookbooks, packed with recipes that have been fine-tuned over the years for people who, like me, have constantly been on the lookout for garlic-free recipes that are healthy, nutritious and delicious. Inside, you will learn about countries that you would expect to use garlic in practically everything, who in fact use very little in their cooking: such as Japan and Italy. Both incidentally, the two countries ranking first and second respectively in the world league of life expectancy. You'll be surprised by what you're able to achieve garlic free, while still retaining all the great flavour and taste of your ingredients. Happy cooking!
