Bitterness often grows out of a small offense: perhaps a passing word, an accidental slight, or a pair of dirty socks left in the middle of the living room floor. Yet when bitterness takes root in our hearts, its effects are anything but small. "See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many." (Heb. 12:15) In this collection of short articles, Jim Wilson and others discuss what it means to live as "imitators of God." As the Apostle Paul says in Ephesians, we have been called to leave the bitterness and anger of the world and instead embrace the love and compassion of our God. The authors remind us that we are to forgive others just as we have been forgiven, pointing to Scriptural admonitions and examples as they offer sound teaching on the trials and temptations of everyday life.
Bitter Flavor Science
Bitter Flavor Science explores the fascinating relationship between humans and bitter tastes, revealing how our aversion to bitterness, initially a crucial survival mechanism, has evolved into appreciation across cultures. The book delves into why we can learn to enjoy bitter flavors, like those in tonic water or certain vegetables, despite our innate rejection. It highlights the evolutionary advantage of detecting bitterness as a defense against poisonous plants, while also examining cultural practices that have reshaped our preferences. The book investigates the science of taste perception, explaining how specialized receptors identify bitter compounds and trigger signals to our brains. It also covers the chemistry of bitter compounds, found in diverse foods, and how preparation methods can alter their intensity. Case studies spotlight how different cultures have embraced bitter flavors, such as the use of hops in brewing and bitter herbs in traditional medicine. Drawing upon evolutionary biology, sensory science, and food chemistry, the book provides a complete view of bitter flavors. It starts with the science of taste and progresses through cultural adaptations and culinary applications. This interdisciplinary approach makes the book valuable for food enthusiasts and culinary professionals seeking to understand and incorporate bitterness into their culinary creations.
