光是懂得食物的成分與烹飪的科學,
對於「滋味」,你只懂了一半!
普立茲獎、國際專業烹飪協會大獎得主 約翰‧麥奎德力作
李家維/葉怡蘭/莊祖宜/陳淑華 推薦
*****

  備受尊崇的食品科學家哈洛德‧麥克吉(Harold McGee)與一群知名廚師曾鄭重宣告:
  「吃這件事除了會用到各種感官,也與我們的心智有關。」

  與我們的其他感官相當不同,「對味道的感受」不僅因人而異,且差異可能極大。
  它涉及我們全身、大腦、心理等許多層面,神祕莫測,因此在過去兩千年來,
  這領域一直處於科學研究的邊緣。直到近年隨著新型科技與科學理解的進展,
  才終於躍居科研的前沿,使「烹飪」成一門講究的技藝,從而揭露諸多奧祕:

  ○「聯覺人」的大腦裡,一種感官會觸發另一種看似毫不相關的感官,比如文字的字義或發音會觸發味覺。大腦也可能會混淆不同味道和氣味。
  ○光是「想像」苦味或看到嫌惡皺眉的表情,大腦就會體驗到「苦」的反應,影響你嘗出的滋味,所以生活經驗會持續影響嘗東西的偏好。
  ○為何代糖吃起來,就是比不上真正的糖?
  ○為什麼「甜點是另一個胃」,此話不假?
  ○發酵作用如何解放出「新味道分子大軍」,帶動一連串廚藝實驗?
  ○辣的刺激其實是種不適感,人類為何偏偏喜愛?
  ○鮮味是怎麼藉由與其他味道協力合作,讓食物的美味跳出來?
  ○澱粉加重鹽,洋芋片這種垃圾食物貌不驚人,為何卻令人一口接一口?
  ○細胞上的「受體」可以察覺環境中的特殊物質,比方帶苦味的分子。人類細胞每個都有受體,這意味著我們「全身具有味覺」?
  ○我們的大腦相當消耗能量,為了攝食效率,人類祖先發展出更佳狩獵能力與烹飪技術,並學會用火,製作更美味、好吸收的食物。
  ○代糖的分子能與甜味受體產生鍵結,但無法完全結合,就像一支鑰匙能插入鎖中,但無法轉到底開鎖一樣,因而無法完全觸發大腦的愉悅線路。
  ○在幾個大腦結構中,反應「愉悅」與「痛覺」的神經細胞都很接近,或許這是某些人覺得越辣越過癮的原因。

  品嘗是人體最為獨特的感官能力,有太多有趣的事值得探掘!
  國際專業烹飪協會大獎得主約翰‧麥奎德深入廚房、超市、農場、餐廳,
  以及大型食品公司與科學實驗室,揭露最新的飲食研究結果,
  並援引神經學、人類學、生物學、遺傳學、演化論等眾多領域的知識,
  廣泛地闡述了味覺如何塑造智人的發展,
  以及我們如何逐漸理解這種最神祕感官的運作方式。(更詳盡介紹可參閱目錄引文)

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

AMAZING debut novel!!!
Format: Kindle
Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶️🌶️.5 Romance 💘💘💘 Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dual 1st person POV - Ara (26) & Rogue (39 - but looks mid-20s: they can live hundreds of years so this isn't that large of a gap as it could've been which I heavily appreciate lol) Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae/human wars (deep hatred for each other), shifters (dragons- MMC can only partial shift with wings), one horse, one bed, touch her and d!e, found family, abduction turned to freedom The Last Storm is the debut novel from JD Linton and let me tell you, you guys NEED to read this. The plot was engaging and the editing was was amazing (especially for a debut novel). Our FMC, Ara, is stuck in her gilded cage longing for a life outside of her small town. She uses her books to escape and live vicariously through the pages (honestly, relatable). After her father announces her betrothal to her childhood friend (to whom she has no romantic feelings for), Ara tumbles unknowingly into a desperate plot trying to stop the humans from slaughtering the Fae. As one can expect from an enemies to lovers / kidnapper/captive romance, Ara fights her attraction and lust towards our MMC, Rogue (the King of the Fae), for as long as she can. Upon seeing Ara for the first time, Rogue is instantly aware that she is his fated mate (not a spoiler). Since she is the General's only daughter, he plans to abduct her and use her as leverage to stop the brutality. During Ara's time in Rogue's captivity, their banter and chemistry continue to rise until they finally boil over and come together (quite literally, and many times I may add 😉). Here's what I LOVED: - Rogue continuously seeks advice from his elders and deeply respects their opinions and life experience and tries to implement their recommendations - Rogue makes many mistakes in the beginning but we see him actively work on not repeating them as the book progresses. The level of self-awareness and his ability to change his behavior was impressive - The magic system is intricate and we have only scraped the surface. As the series continues and Ara progresses in her powers, I'm sure we'll get to see more of this. I absolutely LOVE the messaging system that is used in this book. - Ara's struggles are so human and so raw. She is experiencing so much guilt and pain and hurt and getting to see her work through each of these emotions is inspiring. Especially as her and Rogue get closer and she learns she can lean on him as well, that she is not alone. - While this is the start of a series, there is NO cliffhanger! There's a bit of a teaser of something major that is going to happen at the start of the next book, but it's not a cliffhanger in the sense that we aren't sure if someone is going to live or d!e or if they'll be separated. For that, I am very thankful! This book was so much fun that I will definitely be returning to book 2, even if it takes several months (or longer since this is an debut author) to publish! - Lastly, the cover is GORGEOUS! And I love the title! I'll copy a few of my favorite quotes below so you can have a little taste of the author's writing and the world she's cultivated. 😊 Top Highlights from The Last Storm On days like this, when my heart was heavy and my mind clouded, I resorted to books— to escape, to forget, to find freedom where I had none. If I were to marry him, my face would always be turned to the window, searching for more, and if not that, I would be a shell of the person I am now. I stepped back to admire her, thr0bbing at the sight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To ever exist. Nothing, no one, had ever deserved to be worshiped more. All men should be made to kneel before her. But she would have to settle for me. The taste of her met my t0ngue as my scent merged with hers, forever branding her. Mine. I l!cked the wound. Hers. Completely and utterly hers. I didn’t claim her in ownership. I claimed her as my one. Devoted myself to one. With that mark, my body and soul were bound to her. I would never be with anyone else, emotionally or physically. It would be her or no one, until my last breath. “Scream my name. Let everyone know who I belong to.” I had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and I was grateful to see another calm morning. “There will never be another woman for me.” He paused. “Ever.” I stilled at his words. “What… Why?” “This”— his thumb slid down across the mark—“ is a symbol of… surrender. I know you believe that it was my claim upon you, but it wasn’t. It never was. I bound my body and soul to you, little storm.” “I also know that it is more than this tiny, insignificant mark on your skin that binds me to you. It’s you. All of you. Your strength and resilience. Your determination to endure no matter what fate throws at you. Your love for love and stories and hope. You are entirely the opposite of everything that I am and I would gladly wear your shackles if it meant I could have you.” My mate. Mine. And then everything shifted and I understood. I understood everything. The surrender. The deep, soul-craving longing. Bound. I was bound to him. Body and soul. Entirely his. “I would’ve waited forever,” he whispered back, understanding. Seriously, everyone.. add this to your TBR!!
