'a fascinating look into the origins of curry and its ubiquity around the globe today..Sen's introduction to the culture and history of curry is a tantalizing reminder that the roots of globalization lie deeper than we likely realize.' - Southeast Review of Asian Studies 'The Edible series contains some of the most delicious nuggets of food and drink history ever. Every volume is such a fascinating and succinct read that I had to devour each in just a single sitting ... food writing at its best!' - Ken Hom, chef and author
