For 4000 years and in almost every culture physicians have used wine to ease man's pains to heal his wounds to cure his ills to spur his appetite and to comfort his anxieties. For 40 centuries wine has earned its place as an essential in the materia medica. Modern science has discovered why: how wine - a combination of alcohol and varying amounts of ketones aldehydes esters volatile and non-volatile acids carbon dioxide nitrogenous compounds pigments tannins sugars pectins glycerols vitamins and various inorganic components - exerts its many effects in health and in disease. A HISTORY OF WINE AS THERAPY traces the use of wine in medicine by delving into the works of the great physicians�" Bibliography. Chronological Index. General Index.

Cottura abbattimento ritorno in temperatura. Food management del XXI secolo
ill., ril. La rivoluzione digitale non ha risparmiato la cucina professionale. Forni trivalenti e abbattitori di temperatura sono attrezzati di touch pad e porte USB, cicli programmabili di cottura e di raffreddamento eliminano la necessità di interventi manuali per aggiustamenti di temperature e sonde multipunto tolgono ogni dubbio dal concetto di "cotto". Ciononostante, molta di questa efficienza tecnologica rimane sottoutilizzata da chef che non conoscono in pieno il potenziale delle loro attrezzature. Cuocere, abbattere, rimettere in temperatura (CAR): il ciclo descritto da queste tre semplici parole è reso possibile da quella stessa tecnologia sotto-sfruttata. Anche se comunemente associata alla cottura in sottovuoto o quella a bassa temperatura, la sua implementazione non è limitata a queste applicazioni. Il sistema CAR, esplorato nei dettagli in quest'opera, offre agli chef una gamma di vantaggi che vanno ben oltre le cucine dei ristoranti. Organizzazioni di catering, pasticcerie, macellerie, gastronomie: tutti possono beneficiare dal sistema CAR. Con esempi pratici tratti da esperienze dirette, una selezione di ricette diversificate e importanti dati tecnici, Franco Luise dimostra i tanti modi in cui il sistema CAR e la tecnologia che lo rende possibile costituiscono i più grandi alleati di ogni chef. Dal miglioramento delle qualità organolettiche del cibo al risparmio di tempo, dalla riduzione degli sprechi al risparmio economico, il ciclo CAR non è più semplicemente un'alternativa ai metodi di cottura tradizionali. Rappresenta la chiave per un livello di efficienza imprescindibile per il successo delle moderne attività gastronomiche.

Cuoco senza stelle
br. Chi è il cuoco senza stelle? È il professionista in camice bianco che ha perfezionato il tuo snack preferito o l'executive chef di un grande albergo? È il cuoco della trattoria sotto casa o quello che programma i pasti per tuo figlio a scuola? È la figura che si è occupata dei pasti nel tuo ultimo viaggio in aereo, in treno, sulla nave di crociera, oppure semplicemente uno che se ne infischia del sistema, delle valutazioni in genere che siano toque, punteggi o le famigerate stelle? Sicuramente il cuoco senza stelle è una figura che dovrebbe incuriosire molto di più dei suoi colleghi tanto reclamizzati. Dopotutto, per la maggior parte delle persone, il suo operato ha molta più incidenza sulla loro vita quotidiana. Nel raccontare la propria vita dietro i fornelli, Franco Luise, cuoco rigorosamente senza stelle, offre un ritratto di una categoria che, pur essendo massiccia in presenza e dotata di capacità creativa e manageriale, opera nell'ombra. Dimostra che le soddisfazioni della professione lontana dai riflettori esistono eccome, ma fa notare quanto sia sconcertante trovarsi "rappresentati" da divi che non cucinano da tempo o da "spadellatori narranti" perennemente in viaggio da un evento all'altro. Luise non ha scritto un libro di formazione professionale, ma il suo racconto comprende consigli e strategie per le nuove generazioni di cuochi. Non ha compilato un ricettario, ma racconta piatti legati alla sua memoria. Non ha confezionato una diatriba contro l'avanzare dello chef mediatico, ma consegna un lucido appello a tutti i cuochi che operano nell'anonimato di rivendicare la dignità della loro professione.
