  • Donna Lee Brien Writing About Food: Significance, Opportunities And
    Donna Lee Brien Writing about Food: Significance, opportunities and professional identities Abstract: Food writing, including for cookbooks and in travel and food memoirs, makes up a significant, and increasing, proportion of the books written, published, sold and read each year in Australia and other parts of the English-speaking world. Food writing also comprises a similarly significant, and growing, proportion of the magazine, newspaper and journal articles, Internet weblogs and other non-fiction texts written, published, sold and read in English. Furthermore, food writers currently are producing much of the concept design, content and spin-off product that is driving the expansion of the already popular and profitable food-related television programming sector. Despite this high visibility in the marketplace, and while food and other culinary-related scholarship are growing in reputation and respectability in the academy, this considerable part of the contemporary writing and publishing industry has, to date, attracted little serious study. Moreover, internationally, the emergent subject area of food writing is more often located either in Food History and Gastronomy programs or as a component of practical culinary skills courses than in Writing or Publishing programs. This paper will, therefore, investigate the potential of food writing as a viable component of Writing courses. This will include a preliminary investigation of the field and current trends in food writing and publishing, as well as the various academic, vocational and professional opportunities and pathways such study opens up for both the students and teachers of such courses. Keywords: Food Writing – Professional Food Writers – Creative and Professional Writing Courses – Teaching Creative and Professional Writing Biographical note Associate Professor Donna Lee Brien is Head of the School of Arts and Creative Enterprise at Central Queensland University, and President of the AAWP.

  • Meat May Be Described As Th E Edible Flesh of Animal Fit for Human Consum Ption
    Le Viande (Meat) Meat may be described as th e edible flesh of animal fit for human consum ption. Physical Characteristics of Meat: Meat is compo sed of the following tissues- Muscular Tissue Adipos e Tissue Skeletal Tissue Muscular tissues are muscle fibres which are made up of tiny long tubes filled with water, containing various nutrients like proteins, minerals, fats, small amount of carbohydrates, etc. they are in the form of r ubber bands which are joined by tissues (con nective) which are of two types namely: 1. Collagen (white) 2. Elastin (yellow) Upon application of heat, collagen is converted to gelatine, which make s the meat tender and edible. Whereas, the elas tin hardly gets affected by heat. Either it has to be removed or broken down by pounding in order to make the meat edible. The higher/larger animals hav e larger muscle fibres and hence takes more time to cook. Adipose tissues are in the form of fat. It is necessary as it lends flavo ur, moistness and softness. The fat formed between the skin and the flesh is known as Lard; which may be used as a cooking medium and also in making of kebabs and other force meats. The desirable fat present betwee n the muscles is known as ‘Marbling/Marble.’ It is the inter layering of fat between the muscles, and the amount of marbling determines the quality of the meat. It is f ound as a shiny sheen or pecks (spots). Skeletal tissues are in the form of cartilages, tendons, ligaments, soft bonnes, which basically join the bone and the flesh .

    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.
