Summary

Food Fails explores the fascinating history of how culinary mishaps have shaped our food culture. Surprisingly, many iconic foods and cooking techniques were born from accidents, not deliberate design. For instance, storage errors led to the discovery of aged cheeses, while exploding sodas and curdled sauces represent unexpected reactions that sparked new culinary paths. This book reveals that culinary progress isn't always linear, highlighting the role of serendipity and adaptation in food innovation.

 
The book, structured in three parts, begins by examining the accidental nature of food discovery, dedicating chapters to specific categories of failures. It then focuses on the ingenuity required to transform these mistakes into successes, exploring the scientific and social processes behind their acceptance. Finally, it details the lasting impact of these food fails, demonstrating their influence on cooking techniques, food production, and cultural norms.

 
By reframing culinary history through the lens of failure, Food Fails offers a unique perspective, encouraging readers to embrace experimentation and view mistakes as opportunities for culinary creativity.

    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Spike Jonze, stuck in the editing process with an early 150-minute cut, asked Steven Soderbergh to edit it down. Soderbergh returned within 24 hours with a 90-minute cut, which helped Jonze finalize the film’s 126-minute runtime.” 
      
    “Director Spike Jonze loved his role as Alien Child so much that he would often give notes to his editor and producer while staying in character.” 
      
    “This is the only film written and directed by Spike Jonze, entirely based on his original script.” 
      
    “Charlie Kaufman contributed some uncredited screenwriting to the film.” 
      
    “The airplane sculpture featured in a square outside the Pacific Design Center was entirely created using CGI. There is no such sculpture at the actual location in West Hollywood.”

    The Danish concept of hygge is a wonderful thing. Even if most fail miserably when they try to pronounce or explain its true essence. Unless you’re a Viking of course. 
    As Keri stood in the departure lounge of Auckland International Airport with her four-month-old baby, searching for her flight on the board, hygge wasn’t on her radar. In hindsight she agrees it probably should have been. 
    But she’d never imagined a chance encounter with a Dane in a crowded bar in her home city of Wellington would lead her here, a mother, about to circle the globe, with no knowledge of when she'd return home. 
    Eighteen thousand kilometres away a new life awaited her in Denmark. A country where babies sleep outside, the word for bread is seemingly impossible to pronounce and a country in which immigration challenges abound. 
    A witty observer of cultural nuances, Keri reveals the day-to-day realities of a New Zealander living her best life in Denmark. From integration interrogations to rye bread misdemeanors, Nothing Like a Dane provides a humorous and heartfelt insight into creating a new life in a faraway land. 
    And what did she learn? That it’s not all hygge and pastries. Even in Denmark.
