{"product_id":"ugly-food-richard-horsey-9781849046862","title":"Ugly Food: Overlooked and Undercooked","description":"Why don't we eat more octopus? What about gurnard and other ugly fish? Cheeks and feet are cheap and delicious, but people prefer fillet or chops. What about rabbits and squirrels? Where do all the giblets go? And what's wrong with ugly vegetables? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is about ingredients that are neglected, overlooked, forgotten. They are all tasty, sustainable and cheap, and easy to cook when you know how. \u003cem\u003eUgly Food\u003c\/em\u003e aims to change the way people think about them, and the way they think about eating them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe food industry, like the fashion industry, seems driven by the pursuit of impossible perfection: pre-packaged meats with nary a head or foot or set of giblets in sight; rows of blemish-free fruit and vegetables in supermarkets tasting of not-very- much; and a steady stream of cookbooks containing photo-shopped, super-saturated photos of beautiful dishes bathed in sunlight. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn contrast, Horsey and Wharton take an unpretentious, practical approach. They reveal the tips and tricks you need to prepare these undervalued foods with ease. And, alongside recipes, they provide social histories of ingredients that are positively brimming over with fascinating facts, fictions, and, of course, flavors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRecipes include: \u003cbr\u003eOx-Cheek Salad à la Hongroise\u003cbr\u003eLao Chicken Feet Salad\u003cbr\u003eMaldivian Curried Octopus\u003cbr\u003eSpiced Squirrel Popcorn\u003cbr\u003eDeep-fried Rabbit Ears\u003cbr\u003eSheep's Brain on Toast\u003cbr\u003eChar Siu Pigs' Cheeks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Horsey, Tim Wharton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849046867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849046862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Horsey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44077628096767,"sku":"9781849046862","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_655c73a3-c2d8-492b-8d91-9e40764c8554.jpg?v=1685470966","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ugly-food-richard-horsey-9781849046862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
