Quinces: Growing and Cooking (English Kitchen #16)
by Jane McMorland Hunter Sue DunsterQuinces have become an undeservedly forgotten fruit. This book reintroduces them, making them more accessible and providing an inviting range of recipes. The trees do not require much space, and are easy to grow. The fruits are delicious and versatile and the recipes here extend well beyond jellies and jams, including sweets. From Goat's Cheese Tart to Quince Chocolates and Liqueurs, there is something for everyone. The quince has always had a special place among the fruits of Europe. The ancient Greeks called it the 'golden apple', the Romans the 'honey apple'. And it was most likely a quince, not an apple, that Eve plucked from the tree in the Garden of Eden. This book describes both the cultivation, the history and the cooking of quinces. There is a sketch of the glorious history of the fruit in cookery of past ages; there are some excellent recipes for savoury dishes that depend on the quince for that special flavour, and for all those sweet dishes that bring out the unique qualities of the fruit.We tend to forget that the first marmalades were made from quinces.

Radioaktivität in Lebensmitteln
by Johannes Friedrich DiehlHormone, Antibiotika, Prionen - was noch steckt in unserer Nahrung, was wir nicht sehen können? Lebensmittel können Radioaktivität aus natürlichen und künstlichen Quellen enthalten. Welchen Einfluss haben heute die Atomversuche der Großmächte, die Reaktorkatastrophe von Tschernobyl oder der Betrieb von Kernkraftwerken auf die gesundheitliche Qualität der Lebensmittel? Welche neuen Aspekte dieses Themas sind durch weltweite terroristische Bedrohungen akut geworden? Der langjährige Leiter der Bundesforschungsanstalt für Ernährung und ihrer "Leitstelle zur Überwachung der Umweltradioaktivität in Lebensmitteln", Prof. Dr. Diehl, beantwortet in diesem verständlich geschriebenen Buch alle Fragen zur Radioaktivität in Lebensmitteln, zu radioaktiven Elementen und ihrem Weg in die Nahrung. Er erklärt, wie die Kontamination von Lebensmitteln überwacht wird, wo Radionuklide auch genutzt werden können, welche Möglichkeiten zur Dekontamination es gibt und welchen Einfluss die in Lebensmitteln vorhandene Radioaktivität überhaupt auf den Menschen haben kann. Informativ und interessant werden zunächst die Grundlagen zur Radioaktivität vermittelt, von der Entdeckung der ersten Strahleneffekte durch Konrad Röntgen, Henry Becquerel und Marie Curie über die Beschreibung von Radionukliden und ihrer Eigenschaften, bis zu den heute gültigen Strahlenschutzgrenzwerten. So wird das Buch nicht nur zum unverzichtbaren Grundlagenwerk für jeden Strahlenschutzbeauftragten, Lebensmittelchemiker, Umweltbeauftragten und Verbraucherschützer, sondern auch für Mediziner, Apotheker, Journalisten und jeden, der sich fundiert über dieses lange vernachlässigte Thema informieren möchte.
