Food Engineering Aspects of Baking Sweet Goods or Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down

Food Engineering Aspects of Baking Sweet Goods

Author: Serpil Sahin

Food Engineering Aspects of Baking Sweet Goods combines the knowledge of food engineering with cereal chemistry and fills in much of the information typically left out of other scientific treatises on baking. It covers such principles as heat transfer, mass transfer, and the rheology of dough. Calling upon a number of experts, it focuses on soft wheat products, including the rehology of cake batter and cookie dough, cake emulsions and the physical properties of sweet goods. It discusses chemical reactions in baking, paying particular attention to the function of ingredients. In consideration of health concerns, the authors also cover cakes containing low fat and low sugar

Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down

Author: Nicey Wifey

Put a cup of tea in your hand, and what else can you do but sit down? This wonderful book is a celebration of that most British of life's cornerstones: taking a break, putting your feet up and having a breather.

There is, however, a third element that any perfect sit down requires and it is this: biscuits. As Nicey so rightly points out, a cup of tea without a biscuit is a missed opportunity. So from dunking to the Digestive, the Iced Gem to the Garibaldi, everything you'll ever need to know about biscuits is in this book, and quite a lot more besides.

Wine Heritage or Little Book of Olive Oil

Wine Heritage: The Story of Italian-American Vintners

Author: Dick Rosano

Mondavi, Martini, Sebastiani, Gallo, Bargetto and Pirelli-Minetti. Who could deny the importance of Italians to the development of America's wine industry? It is little known that Italians have been planting vineyards and making wine in America since the early colonial days when Filippo Mazzei was the vineyard consultant for Thomas Jefferson. Grapes were planted and nurtured in virtually every corner of America where Italians settled. Wine making was as sacrosanct as making bread or pasta. Wine is inseparable from the Italian culture and is loved and revered as the "holy blood of the grape". It is one of the secrets of the healthy Mediterranean life style now preached by health experts.
