Editorial Review:

Fuelled by recent food scares, as well as a more health conscientious buying public, the organic food market has been growing at a rate of 40% per annum in the UK. Its value is set to be worth over #1bn within the next 24 months. There has been a discernible shift towards organic food over the last five years, and we are now at the stage where practically every traditional consumable available on the shelf of the contemporary supermarket also stocks its organic counterpart. There are many alternative reasons as to why people are switching to organic, ranging from the fact that it is healthier, it tastes better, to a higher concern for animal welfare and the environment. "Cook Organic" is a cooking guide for the conscientious and taste-conscious consumer of the new millennium. Sections include: introduction - why organic food really is different; satisfying soups; creative salads, starters and snacks; vegetarian dishes; fish; meat - lamb, beef, pork; poultry and game; baking - from bread to biscuits; desserts. Written with a passion for fresh ingredients and no-fuss cooking, the book contains 150 recipes showing you how to create delicious, colourful and inspirational food. It also has sections on organic mail-order suppliers and the essential store-cupboard.

Don't Bother: Cooking Fresh is not as good as you'd hope. 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I was excited when I saw this book in the Washington Post's Food Section and ordered it immediately but its not very good. Spend your money elsewhere.

Problems include:

1) It's way too preachy. There are many, many, essays that basically have the same themes: eat local produce and meats; small farms are good--large farms are evil; eat organic. Great, BUT if I bought a book about using local products then I probably buy into that already. I need more information less preaching.

2) The real information provided is too little and too disorganized. There are basically 6 pages with what's in season. One page each for Spring,Summer,Fall, and Winter, plus two pages in the back with the seasonal availability of some produce and meats. Very little information on how to get the most out of each season or what to look for when shopping for the best produce or meats.

3) The recipes. Mangos, Coconuts, and Vidalia Onions are not from the mid-atlantic but you'll find recipes in this book that feature these ingredients. Likewise, there may be a regional source for local prosciutto and Gorgonzola, but I think I'll keep buying mine from Italy.

Editorial Review:

More than 130 recipes from the region’s 27 best chefs, handpicked for their commitment to the quality and flavor that small-scale, local farms have to offer.

Differing estrogen activities in the organic phase of air particulate matter collected during sunny and foggy weather in a Chinese city detected by a recombinant ... [An article from: Atmospheric Environment]

Description:
Total air suspended particles (PM"1"0"0) collected from an urban location near a traffic line in Wuhan, China, were examined for estrogen using a recombinant yeast bioassay. Wuhan, located at the central part of China, is the fourth biggest city in China with 7 million populations. Today, Wuhan has developed into the biggest city and the largest traveling center of central China, becoming one of the important bases of industry, education and research. Wuhan is right at the confluent point of Yangzi River, the third longest river in the world, and its largest distributary Hanjiang, with mountains and more than 100 lakes in downtown area. Therefore, by its unique landscape, Wuhan has formed clear four seasons with relatively long winter and summer and short spring and autumn. Foggy weather usually happen in early spring. The yeast line used in this assay stably expresses human estrogen receptor-alpha. Weak but clear estrogenic activities were detected in the organic phase of crude extracts of air particle materials (APM) in both sunny and foggy weather by 0.19-0.79@mgE2/gPM"1"0"0 which were statistically significantly elevated relative to the blank control responding from 20% to 50% of the maximum E2 response, and the estrogenic activity was much higher in foggy weather than in sunny weather. The estrogenic activities in the sub-fractions from chromatographic separation of APM sampled in foggy days were also determined. The results indicated that the responses of the fractions were obviously higher than the crude extracts. Since there is no other large pollution source nearby, the estrogenic material was most likely from vehicle emissions, house heating sources and oil fumes of house cooking. The GC/MS analysis of the PM"1"0"0 collected under foggy weather showed that there were many phenol derivatives, oxy-PAHs and resin acids which have been reported as environmental estrogens. These results of the analysis of estrogenic potency in sunny and foggy weather in a subtropical city of China indicate that further studies are required to investigate the actual risks for the associated health and atmospheric system.
