In The Devil's Garden by Stewart Lee Allen

In The Devil's Garden by Stewart Lee Allen

Here, for your delectation, is human history in its entirety - with every immoral side dish imaginable. From Stewart Lee Allen's 'menu' you can sample all seven deadly sins. Each freshly researched, well-seasoned with aromatic anecdotes and sizzling titbits - and brought to you piping hot from every culinary culture on the globe. Since God used the metaphor of Eve and the Forbidden Fruit to define human nature itself, our history has been peppered with food taboos that have shaped civilisations. As you pick from Allen's historical smorgasbord, you'll learn the important roles played by chocolate in the French revolution, how a spat between chefs caused a rift in the Catholic Church that lasted a thousand years and why Caesar fought food to save the world's mightiest empire.
