Cuisine and Culture by L Civitello
Covering prehistory and the earliest societies around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to celebrity chefs, this book provides answers to many questions as: How did the French establish a notable reputation in world cuisine? Where does American cuisine have its roots? How has food been used to control populations and as a weapon during war?
"..Tracing the connection between major historical events and their affect on different culinary traditions, this hearty meal of 12 "courses" explains everything from how the Franch gained their gastronomic stature to the roots of American cuisine..." (Sante) "...Based on the sweep self--assurance and verve exhibited in this book, subtitled "A History of Food and People,: we will be reading more of and from her. "Ah," you say "a game of trivia." Not really, it's too satisfying." (Chicago Tribune)
