Powdered milk and dried beans come to mind when people mention long-term food storage, but this cheerful guide, inspired by the author’s popular blog and YouTube videos, hopes to transform the image of this thrifty practice. For starters, the discussion asks Would you really like to start eating powdered eggs all of sudden? The answer is forceful: if a household doesn’t know how to use stored food now—and make it palatable for family meals—they probably won’t eat it in an emergency and eventually must dump it out. Instead, the book explains, bulk foods must be rotated out of storage and incorporated into everyday meals, an easy skill to learn when armed with this collection of more than 100 fun, easy, and great-tasting recipes and tips for substituting dried and canned ingredients in favorite family dishes.
For most people, the global war over genetically modified foods is a distant and confusing one. The battles are conducted in the mystifying language of genetics.
A handful of corporate “life science” giants, such as Monsanto, are pitted against a worldwide network of anticorporate ecowarriors like Greenpeace. And yet the possible benefits of biotech agriculture to our food supply are too vital to be left to either partisan.
The companies claim to be leading a new agricultural revolution that will save the world with crops modified to survive frost, drought, pests, and plague. The greens warn that “playing God” with plant genes is dangerous. It could create new allergies, upset ecosystems, destroy biodiversity, and produce uncontrollable mutations. Worst of all, the antibiotech forces say, a single food conglomerate could end up telling us what to eat.
In Food, Inc., acclaimed journalist Peter Pringle shows how both sides in this overheated conflict have made false promises, engaged in propaganda science, and indulged in fear-mongering. In this urgent dispatch, he suggests that a fertile partnership between consumers, corporations, scientists, and farmers could still allow the biotech harvest to reach its full potential in helping to overcome the problem of world hunger, providing nutritious food and keeping the environment healthy.

When Charlie van Over makes his bread, he breaks all the rules of classic bread baking. He doesn’t proof the yeast. He uses cold water instead of warm. He mixes the dough in a food processor for forty-five seconds instead of kneading it by hand. He lets the dough rise in a cool place. The results? Perfect crusty-on-the-outside baguettes with texture, taste, and aroma. Light brioche with buttery crisp crusts and fluffy, saffron interiors. Chewy bagels with hardy, smooth crusts. A rich walnut loaf studded with nuts and scented with the full flavor of whole wheat. A homey cherry babka with a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping. How is this possible?
Like many inventors, Charlie came across his technique by accident. At a party for Carl Sontheimer, founder of Cuisinart, the company that first introduced the food processor to American home cooks, it was suggested to Charlie that he mix his dough in a food processor. Thus began several years of experimentation and, finally, a foolproof method for making perfect bread every time.
Now you can re-create Charlie van Over’s great bread for yourself. And what’s even more amazing is that Charlie’s is a hands-off, rather than a hands-on, method. Once the dough is mixed in the food processor, there’s no kneading. Just place it in a bowl at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop. Have to run out suddenly for a few hours? No problem. Just put the dough in the refrigerator until you’re ready. You won’t have to keep baker’s hours or become a professional to make wonderful bread at home.
Once you’ve mastered the basic technique, the possibilities are endless. Fougasse, Ciabatta, Semolina Bread, pizza, Danish Twists, and even sourdough Olive Rosemary Bread and Idaho Potato Rolls. Have a favorite bread? Charlie even explains how to convert any recipe to The Best Bread Ever method.
The Best Bread Ever provides easy-to-follow instructions for more than sixty breads, step-by-step photographs, helpful advice for troubleshooting your food processor, rich color photographs of Charlie’s bread, and recipes for using bread in bread puddings, soups, and other dishes. As Jacques Pépin says in his foreword, “Get your ingredients and equipment together and follow Charlie’s remarkable method. You will never be without good bread again.”
