V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.
Jsme výhradní distributor nakladatelství TASCHEN pro Českou republiku
A masterpiece of gastronomic writing; a rich, addictive blend of chemistry, history and anecdote that no self-respecting foodie or cook can afford to be without.
If you've ever wondered:
Why fish goes off quicker than meat; How to tell stale eggs from fresh ones; Why you're supposed to leave pancake batter to rest; How it is that cheese can possibly have so many different permutations of flavour and texture; Why chopping onions makes you cry; Or even how to avoid poisoning your guests - then this is the book for you.
The ultimate cookery classic, ON FOOD AND COOKING renders the everyday miracles of the kitchen wondrous and fascinating, shedding light on questions that have puzzled generations of cooks.
Harold McGee's original was acclaimed as a masterpiece on both sides of the Atlantic, selling over 200,000 copies worldwide. Now completely rewritten for a new generation, reflecting the seismic shifts in science and upsurge in home cooking over the past two decades, this new book will amaze all those who love food.
Review
It answers every culinary question. . . This is the definitive, heavyweight reference book for the keen cook. ― Spectator
There has been no book like this since Alan Davidson's Oxford Companion to Food, and there a few books so comprehensive, perspicuous or gracefully written on any subject. It is no exaggeration to call it a masterpiece. ― Paul Levy, TLS
Dazzling informative. . . . McGee is the father of modern food science and by far the most enjoyable writer to read on the subject. ― Bee Wilson, Sunday Telegraph
if you have to buy a present for someone really obsessed with cooking the outstanding choice is a work that is not new and does not contain a single recipe. McGee on Food and Cookery is an expanded version of Harold McGee's classic exploration of science in the kitchen. Not only does he explain how every culinary reaction works, he also explores the history of everything we eat... For the price of a meal, you'll get a lifetime's nutrition. ― Christopher Hirst, Independent
He has made the jump from mere author to timeless authority ... the book is quite remarkable in its depth, breadth and clarity. ― Observer
