| Sumario: | This book is a practical food history lesson, an editorial about everything gone wrong with modern food, and a call to arms - of the kitchen knife variety. Here, a historian relates his experiences of growing, cooking, and sharing food in ways that people did in the past, ways that we have needlessly lost. He finds lessons in surprising places, including obscure seventeenth century Italian farmer-nobles, ancient statesmen, and quirky cheesemakers from centuries ago. A rare but important variety of historical activism, this book uses history to enrich people's lives through a greater awareness and appreciation of what they put in their bodies. |
