Shooting the Cook

As the producer behind the phenomenally successful Keith Floyd and Rick Stein BBC cookery programs, David Pritchard tells the tale of the ascent of the celebrity chef. Twenty-five years ago, no one could have foreseen the incredible popularity commanded by food programs on television today. Now we have a whole army of chefs representing virtually every single personality trait from sexy to aggressive, to young and experimental. But back then, when Floyd was found, he was the only onethe chef to start it all. Charismatic, with a slight erratic edge, always happy to have a slurp of wine or two, and not afraid to say exactly what he thought on air, Floyd was a revelation, a chef that television had not seen the like of before. Shooting the Cook divulges the stories of what went on behind the scenes of the groundbreaking television programs that inspired the event of modern television chefs as we know them today. David Pritchard shares the overwhelming excitement that went into making the early Floyd seriesfrom sitting down to a silver service dinner aboard a tiny fishing trawler heading out of the Plymouth Sound, to attempting abortive hot-air balloon adventures over Alsace. Tangled up amid the tales of the bust-ups, the botched camera shots, and the exquisite regional food are reminisces about David’s life growing up in ration-starved, post-war Britain. Also containing snapshots of life behind the scenes of sixties television-making and spanning the era from when avocados were virtually unheard of to a time when the term "foodie" has gained an almost cult-like status, this is an outstanding memoir from the producer who single-handedly changed the face of food as we know it today.

"The text provides a comprehensive set of calculations relating to mass and energy balances for an entire process plant. An ammonia synthesis plant is taken as a calculation model to develop the relevant mass and energy balances necessary for the design and subsequent production. Instead of teaching the basics, the text gives a detailed series of process integrated and illustrated calculations to help readers develop and design a process plant. This book will serve undergraduate Chemical Engineering students as a teaching aid in capstone design and related courses and gives useful insights to advanced students, researchers, and industry personnel within the Chemical Engineering field"--

New compositions for solo classic guitar by acclaimed guitarist and composer, David Pritchard. All solos are in standard notation.In addition to all the music I've written over the past twenty years for multiple acoustic guitars, I have on occasion felt inspired to write a smaller number of pieces for just one guitar. Exploring a meditative feel was my motivation for writing A Pale View, A Silent Dream, and Restoration. A Silent Dream can be played either as a solo piece or it can be enhanced by having another guitarist play the second part. Arundo is basically a right hand study piece, alternating between two patterns both in different meters, while Orb Weaver is primarily a Latin rhythm study with much syncopation, alternating simply between two chords. Coryza was written with the acoustic steel string in mind using DADGAD tuning.
