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.

Arduino Home Automation by Marco Schwartz


English | Aug 26, 2014 | ISBN: 1783986069 | 131 Pages | MOBI/EPUB/PDF (True) | 39 MB

With: Code Files

If you want to build your own home automation systems wirelessly using the Arduino platform, this is the book for you. You will need to have some basic experience in Arduino and general programming languages, such as C and C++ to understand the projects in this book.




Automate your home using the powerful Arduino platform




Interface home automation components with Arduino


Automate your projects to communicate wirelessly using XBee, Bluetooth and WiFi


Build seven exciting, instruction-based home automation projects with Arduino in no time




The Arduino platform is used by more than one million people around the world to prototype electronic systems. It is the perfect platform to use to build home automation systems, as it allows you to build your own motion sensors, control lamps remotely, and control preexisting home automation devices. The Arduino platform also allows you to build wireless home automation systems using well-known technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.




This book shows you how to use the Arduino tiny microboard to live like a king. The book covers several projects you can perform using the Arduino platform. The first few projects comprise the basics of home automation, such as building a wireless motion sensor, controlling a lamp remotely, and building a Bluetooth temperature sensor. Then, this book dives into the Internet of Things, helping you get a clear understanding of how to send measured data to the cloud. The book will wrap up by showing you how to communicate and control an existing device and build your own home automation system.




Connect home automation sensors to the Arduino platform


Use the XBee technology to build low-power wireless motion sensors


Interface a relay with Arduino to control devices in your home


Utilize Wi-Fi to control a lamp remotely


Employ Bluetooth and Arduino to measure the temperature remotely


Send energy consumption data to the cloud


Hack an existing home automation device using Arduino




This book is divided into projects that are explained in a step-by-step format, with practical instructions that are easy to follow.

Home Girls: Chicana Literary Voices

Home Girls: Chicana Literary Voices by Alvina Quintana


English | Jan. 26, 1996 | ISBN: 1566393728 | 165 Pages | PDF | 4.41 MB

Chicana writers in the United States write to inspire social change, to challenge a patriarchal and homophobic culture, to redefine traditional gender roles, and to influence the future. Alvina E. Quintana examines how Chicana writers engage literary convention through fiction, poetry, drama, and autobiography as a means of addressing these motives. Her analysis of the writings of Gloria Anzaldua, Ana Castillo, Denise Chavez, Sandra Cisneros, and Cherrie Moraga addresses a multitude of issues: the social and political forces that influenced the Chicana aesthetic; Chicana efforts to open a dialogue about the limitation of both Anglo-American feminism and Chicano nationalism; experimentations with content and form; the relationship between imaginative writing and self-reflexive ethnography; and performance, domesticity, and sexuality. Employing anthropological, feminist, historical, and literary sources, Quintana explores the continuity found among Chicanas" writing across varied genres – a drive to write themselves into being. Alvina E. Quintana is Associate Professor of English at the University of Delaware.
