Captain Cook: Explorations and Reassessments by Glyndwr Williams


English | 2004 | ISBN: 1843831007 | 280 pages | PDF | 0,9 MB

In the three hundred years since his death, Cook"s reputation has been much discussed, opinion ranging from Britain"s celebration of his achievement to more subjective assessments of the long-term implications of his voyages in those countries of the Pacific which he visited. The thirteen essays in this book, grouped in four sections, continue the debate. "The Years in England" cover Cook"s Whitby background and the part played by the Royal Society in the Pacific ventures of the period; "The Pacific Voyages" investigates the clash between the Endeavour"s crew and Aborigines on the banks of the Endeavour River; the process by which Cook and his crews became "Polynesianised"; Cook"s visit to the Hawaiian Islands; and his visit to Nootka Sound on his final voyage. "Captain Cook and his Contemporaries" views other European explorers in the Pacific, and concludes with an analysis of Russian attitudes towards Cook. "The Legacy of Captain Cook" compares Cook"s death on Hawaii and the later killing of a missionary on Eromanga; examines fluctuations in Cook"s reputation; and describes life on board the replica of the Endeavour. GLYNDWR WILLIAMS is Emeritus Professor of History, Queen Mary London. His many books include an edition of Captain Cook"s Voyages, 1768-79, from the official accounts derived from Cook"s journals

Cook & Freeze: 150 Delicious Dishes to Serve Now and Later by Dana Jacobi


English | 2010 | ISBN: 1605294691 | 288 pages | EPUB | 25 MB

Imagine opening your freezer to find it filled not with the usual boxed entrees and frozen burritos, but with wholesome, flavorful, and family-pleasing foods that look and taste homemade-because they are! Dana Jacobi"s strategic approach to weeknight cooking is the key to cooking half as much and eating twice as well, with a soup-to-nuts menu of dishes that can be cooked to eat now and later.




In Cook & Freeze, Dana explains everything from the logistics of freezing and the proper use of storage containers and materials to the best approach for preparing, freezing, or defrosting several dishes at one time. All of her recipes, which run the gamut from classic American favorites to Asian, Italian, and Mexican specialties, have been carefully selected to reheat with all of their delectable flavors intact, and they are fully annotated with freezing, thawing, and reheating instructions. Dana also notes which dishes are great for a crowd or quick to defrost. Dishes like her savory Salmon and Mushroom Pot Pies, or fluffy, perfectly sweet Orange Blossom Cupcakes can easily be frozen as individual portions, which is extremely useful for those cooking for one or two or making food to share with others. Best of all, every recipe in Cook & Freeze is made without the preservatives and other additives commonly found in commercially prepared frozen foods, providing superior flavor and nutrition at a fraction of the cost.




With Dana"s tips, techniques, and fresh, flavor-filled dishes that your family and friends won"t believe were ever frozen, you will learn how to have satisfying meals at the ready every day of the week.
