Descriere completă

Food has functioned both as a source of continuity and as a subject of adaptation over the course of human history. Onions have been a staple of the European diet since the Paleolithic era; by contrast the orange is once again being cultivated in large quantities in southern China where it was originally grown. Other foods remain staples of their original regions as well as of the world diet at large. Still others are now grown in places that would have seemed impossible in the pasta"bananas in heated greenhouses in Iceland corn on the fringes of the Gobi Desert tomatoes on the International Space Station.But how did humans discover how to grow and incorporate these foods into their diet in the first place? How were they chosen over competing foods? In this charming and frequently surprising compendium Moveable Feasts gathers revelations from history anthropology chemistry biology and many other fields and spins them into entertaining tales of discovery while adding more than ninety delicious recipes from various culinary traditions around the world.Among the thirty types of food discussed in the course of this alphabetically arranged work are the apple the banana chocolate coffee corn garlic honey millet the olive the peanut the pineapple the plum rice the soybean the tomato and the watermelon. All the recipes accompanying these diverse food histories have been adapted for re-creation in the modern kitchen.
