Beyond Flour

Author: Marie Porter

ISBN: 9780984604067
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 238

Book Description
How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be "just as good as the normal version!," only to find that the author must have had some skewed memories on what the "normal" version tasted, looked, and/or felt like? How many times have you felt the need to settle for food with weird after-taste, gummy consistency, or cardboard-like texture, convinced that this is your new lot in life? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a "normal" recipe, and swapping in a simulated "all purpose" gluten-free flour... whether store bought, or a homemade version. "Beyond Flour" takes a bit of a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than just swapping out the flour for an "all purpose" mix, Marie Porter uses various alternative flours as individual ingredients, and does NOT make use of any kind of all-purpose flour mix. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal ... not just a "reasonable facsimile." Think about it: - Fresh pasta! Yes, you can have ravioli again - Gyoza too! - Homemade "Chinese takeout," BETTER than the real thing! - Deep dish pizza that's crispy outside & tender inside... like pizza is SUPPOSED to be! - Chewy, delicious cookies that *everyone* will want to eat! - Never having to present a dish with an apology for it being Gluten-Free. - Indulging some of your deepest, darkest guilty pleasure cravings... safely and joyously! Make no mistake - this is NOT a healthy cookbook. You will find yourself gorging on foods that you thought would never cross your lips again. You'll probably gain some weight, and you'll definitely need to learn how to defend your gluten-free food from invasion by your non-GF friends and family. (Well, or make enough for everyone!)

Understanding Statistics and Experimental Design

Author: Michael H. Herzog
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030034992
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 146

Book Description
This open access textbook provides the background needed to correctly use, interpret and understand statistics and statistical data in diverse settings. Part I makes key concepts in statistics readily clear. Parts I and II give an overview of the most common tests (t-test, ANOVA, correlations) and work out their statistical principles. Part III provides insight into meta-statistics (statistics of statistics) and demonstrates why experiments often do not replicate. Finally, the textbook shows how complex statistics can be avoided by using clever experimental design. Both non-scientists and students in Biology, Biomedicine and Engineering will benefit from the book by learning the statistical basis of scientific claims and by discovering ways to evaluate the quality of scientific reports in academic journals and news outlets.

Feed

Author: M. T. Anderson
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763651559
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 311

Book Description
Identity crises, consumerism, and star-crossed teenage love in a futuristic society where people connect to the Internet via feeds implanted in their brains. Winner of the LA Times Book Prize. For Titus and his friends, it started out like any ordinary trip to the moon - a chance to party during spring break and play around with some stupid low-grav at the Ricochet Lounge. But that was before the crazy hacker caused all their feeds to malfunction, sending them to the hospital to lie around with nothing inside their heads for days. And it was before Titus met Violet, a beautiful, brainy teenage girl who knows something about what it’s like to live without the feed-and about resisting its omnipresent ability to categorize human thoughts and desires. Following in the footsteps of George Orwell, Anthony Burgess, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., M. T. Anderson has created a brave new world - and a hilarious new lingo - sure to appeal to anyone who appreciates smart satire, futuristic fiction laced with humor, or any story featuring skin lesions as a fashion statement.
