Opis

We live in an age where food has been transformed into a spectacle: dishes crafted like works of art, television programs that pursue surprise, advertisements that promise eternal youth in exchange for a purchase. But what remains of the authentic value of food? What place is there for awareness, knowledge, and respect for our bodies and the environment? This book answers these questions clearly and forcefully, restoring the dignity of cooking as a meeting place between biology and culture. The book reminds us that nutrition isn't just about taste, but "daily medicine," a dynamic balance, a responsibility toward ourselves and the world around us. The text also addresses complex issues, such as the food industry, safety, and the use of additives, without ever slipping into catastrophism. Students and aspiring culinary professionals will find it a comprehensive and rigorous manual. This is its strength: to educate on the positive, demonstrating the possibilities of conscious choice, rather than condemning the limitations of the present.
