The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science




The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science by J. Kenji López-Alt


English | 2015 | ISBN: 0393081087 | 938 pages | EPUB | 50 MB




A grand tour of the science of cooking explored through popular American dishes, illustrated in full color.




Ever wondered how to pan-fry a steak with a charred crust and an interior that"s perfectly medium-rare from edge to edge when you cut into it? How to make homemade mac "n" cheese that is as satisfyingly gooey and velvety-smooth as the blue box stuff, but far tastier? How to roast a succulent, moist turkey (forget about brining!)―and use a foolproof method that works every time?




As Serious Eats"s culinary nerd-in-residence, J. Kenji López-Alt has pondered all these questions and more. In The Food Lab, Kenji focuses on the science behind beloved American dishes, delving into the interactions between heat, energy, and molecules that create great food. Kenji shows that often, conventional methods don’t work that well, and home cooks can achieve far better results using new―but simple―techniques. In hundreds of easy-to-make recipes with over 1,000 full-color images, you will find out how to make foolproof Hollandaise sauce in just two minutes, how to transform one simple tomato sauce into a half dozen dishes, how to make the crispiest, creamiest potato casserole ever conceived, and much more.

Getting Better: Improving Health System Outcomes in Europe and Central Asia




Getting Better: Improving Health System Outcomes in Europe and Central Asia (Europe and Central Asia Reports) by Owen Smith and Son Nam Nguyen


English | 2013 | ISBN: 0821398830 | 210 pages | PDF | 4,3 MB




Improving health system outcomes is a major development challenge for Europe and Central Asia (ECA). Fifty years ago, average lifespans in the region were slightly behind those in Western Europe, but far better than in East Asia, Latin America, or the Middle East. Since then, the gap between ECA and its western neighbors has widened, while the other middle-income regions have now all moved ahead. Some countries in ECA have performed very well, and the overall regional trend has recently improved, but long-term progress has certainly lagged behind the rest of the world.




In the future, health sector issues are likely to loom ever larger in policy agendas across the region. Living a long, healthy life will increasingly matter to people as much as achieving ever-higher incomes. Opinion polls indicate that health is the top priority for government spending among populations across ECA, and expectations for a strong government role in the sector are high. Yet these aspirations must be reconciled with the reality of aging populations and significant fiscal constraints.




Getting Better: Improving Health System Outcomes in Europe and Central Asia draws on a wealth of new evidence to explore the challenges facing health sectors in ECA. It highlights three key agendas to help countries seeking to catch up with the world"s best-performing health systems. The first is the health agenda, where the main priority is to strengthen public health and primary care to help achieve the "cardiovascular revolution" that has taken place elsewhere in recent decades. The second is the financing agenda, in which the growing demand for medical care must be satisfied without imposing an undue burden on households or government budgets. The third agenda relates to broader institutional arrangements, where the task is to adopt some of the key ingredients common to most advanced health systems that are still missing in many ECA countries. A common theme for all three agendas is the emphasis on improving outcomes, or "Getting Better".
