WE WILL SEND THE BOOK TO YOU ON THE RELEASE DATE.
Book Description: We all love cooking - to some degree - and each one of us has a favourite meal, or ingredient we favour above all others. In today’s world it is easy to get what we desire to eat in our 24-hour consumer society. But do we know how these everyday recipes came from, who invented them, from which countries, and using what techniques? This book will provide a colourful and entertaining whirlwind journey through the history of cuisine.
A HISTORY OF FOOD IN 100 RECIPES is equally a celebration of the great dishes, techniques and indeed, the great chefs who have innovated over the centuries. Sitwell also brings it right up to date to discuss the rise of the Michelin Star, gourmet cooking, and of course the 21st-century phenomenon of the celeb chef.
The book is one hundred essays, of approximately 1,000 words, each taking the reader logically and chronologically the next step on the path of how food has ended up where we are today. Asking such questions as: When was bread first produced? When did we start using herbs, spices, salt and pepper in our food? Who invented spaghetti? Did the Magyars really invent goulash? Who first put orange into a duck, or an apple into a pig’s mouth? What is the origin of the noodle? Who first decided to use a wok? What was the first mass-produced meal? And many, many more!
