Böcker av Robin Goldstein

A great little collection of 'small plates', simple to sophisticated celebrating some of the harvests that grow plentifully right here in the Ojai Valley. Small and usually shared dishes based on foods I have tasted, Tapas in Spain, Mezze, in both Turkey and Greece, Italian Antipasti, as well as Moroccan and Middle Eastern dishes, with the emphasis on savory spice.The thought behind this book is to present some ideas of foods that can be served as small plates for any time of day, just one plate or a collection of a few. Recipes include Small Plates- Baked Sweet Potato Falafel with Lemon Tahini, Onion-Fennel Fritters with Cucumber Tzatziki, Tuscan Frittata, Gorgonzola Stuffed Figs. Condiments, Sauces & Spreads - Balsamic-Black Pepper Jam, Pomegranate Glaze, Orange Fennel Mostarda, Fig & Olive Tapenade. Crackers and Breads - Sea Salt & Olive oil Crackers, Focaccia with Caramelized Fennel and Onion."I believe that preparing food is about great ingredients, and it's about everything that goes into making a great meal. For me it's about sourcing well grown, local organic vegetables, the time I set aside to prepare a great dish, the music playing in the background, the tools I use in the kitchen, the vintage server and the beautiful plates I have collected over the years. It's about community and closeness and sitting at the table and enjoying the meal together with thanks" with Gratitude, Chef Robin

"An irreverent, well-written, no-nonsense, fact-packed guide to some of the unexpected consequences of weed legalization. Both surprising and enlightening!"--Laurie Santos, Professor of Psychology, Yale University, and host of The Happiness Lab podcast "It's high time economists took a serious look at weed. This insightful and entertaining joint effort sheds light on an important topic."--Jayson Lusk, Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University, and author of The Food Police and Unnaturally Delicious "Robin Goldstein and Daniel Sumner provide a comprehensive guide to the key economic and regulatory factors that are driving the markets for weed, while at the same time offering plenty of fun anecdotes for an enjoyable read. A must-have reference for anyone considering participating in this industry as an investor, producer, retailer, policy maker, or consumer."--Bradley Rickard, Professor of Food and Agricultural Economics, Cornell University "Not just your ordinary puff piece, Can Legal Weed Win? delivers a refreshing explanation of how the legalization of cannabis ended up in smoke and how it can get straight again. Goldstein and Sumner take a refreshingly objective perspective, which few weed books do, and explain with simple, understandable economic intuition how we have arrived at a dual-market (legal and illegal) system."--Michael McCullough, Professor of Agribusiness, California Polytechnic State University, and CEO of the Beeronomics Society
