Jo Robinson Boeken

"Supergroente & powerfruit" maakt de lezer ervan bewust dat de kern van een goede voeding niet ligt in het simpelweg eten van groente en fruit, maar vooral in het eten van bepaalde soorten groente en fruit. Veel mensen denken dat problemen in ons eetpatroon voortkomen uit de industrialisatie van voedsel zo’n 150 jaar geleden. Maar volgens Robinson begon het al 10.000 jaar geleden, toen de mens zijn gewassen begon te zaaien en oogsten. Hij plantte vooral groente- en fruitsoorten die vol suikers zaten, maar bijna geen mineralen, vitaminen, antioxidanten etc. bevatten. De auteur toont aan dat het eigenlijk heel makkelijk is om betere en gezondere keuzes te maken. Ze beantwoordt vragen als: welke soorten bevatten het minste suiker? Hoe behoud je de meeste vitamines en mineralen? En hoe krijg je de meeste antioxidanten en andere heilzame stoffen binnen? Dit boek beschrijft tientallen groente- en fruitsoorten die een belangrijke bron zijn van goede voedingsstoffen. Niet alleen alle positieve eigenschappen van de verschillende soorten worden uitgelegd, ook helpt ze de lezer de juiste soorten te kiezen en legt uit hoe die bewaard en bereid moeten worden om de meeste voedingsstoffen te behouden. Dit boek is een verkenningstocht langs bekende en nieuwe soorten en smaken, en is onmisbaar voor iedereen die gezonder en bewuster wil eten!.

This exploration of theatre and the rural argues that the reality of the lived rural is overlaid with external representations, often coloured by nostalgia, which are reflected and potentially created by theatre and its practices.

Winner of the 2014 IACP Cookbook Award in the category of "Food Matters." The next stage in the food revolution--a radical way to select fruits and vegetables and reclaim the flavor and nutrients we've lost. Ever since farmers first planted seeds 10,000 years ago, humans have been destroying the nutritional value of their fruits and vegetables. Unwittingly, we've been selecting plants that are high in starch and sugar and low in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants for more than 400 generations. EATING ON THE WILD SIDE reveals the solution--choosing modern varieties that approach the nutritional content of wild plants but that also please the modern palate. Jo Robinson explains that many of these newly identified varieties can be found in supermarkets and farmer's market, and introduces simple, scientifically proven methods of preparation that enhance their flavor and nutrition. Based on years of scientific research and filled with food history and practical advice, EATING ON THE WILD SIDE will forever change the way we think about food.
