Beschreibung

Global Foods explores how world history, geography, and cultural exchange have shaped global foods and culinary traditions. It examines the regional variation of ingredients, like the dramatic difference between Italian pasta and Japanese noodles, the historical development of cooking techniques, and the deep cultural significance of food. Beyond sustenance, food is a powerful expression of identity and a reflection of environmental adaptation. The book navigates historical contexts, showing how trade routes, such as the Silk Road, introduced new ingredients and how colonization impacted culinary traditions. It integrates historical, cultural, and scientific perspectives to provide a holistic understanding of international cuisine. Beginning with a framework for understanding the key elements that shape cuisine, subsequent chapters delve into specific regions, such as the Mediterranean, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, analyzing the impact of agriculture, the evolution of cooking technologies, and the role of food in religious and social rituals. The book concludes by exploring contemporary food trends, such as the rise of fusion cuisine and the impact of globalization, offering a unique perspective that moves beyond recipes to examine the underlying factors that have shaped the foods we eat. This approach fosters a deeper appreciation for the diversity of human experience and the interconnectedness of global communities, emphasizing the cultural diversity embedded within our culinary practices.

The Food Diaries

Elizabeth Butel

Eating when you're hungry ... how simple is that? Not so simple for Josie and the friends she met when she took herself off to One Step, the local Overeaters Anonymous Group. She heard about Rachel's extended family, who thought meeting meant eating. She met Christopher who could only stomach one coloured food at a time. There was Olga who used food as an anchor to her past and Dave who was the family's living compost bin. Then there was Tiffany and Monica and finally Perry whose wife had two-timed his stomach as well as his heart. Josie liked to think of her food diaries as one woman's Battle of the Bulge but really it all their stories, she reflected, as she sat down to write that last entry.
With Julie McGregor as Josie, as heard on ABC Radio.

The Upstairs Delicatessen - On...

Dwight Garner

Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book is a product of these combined gluttonies. 
 
 
 
Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner's Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner. 
 
 
 
Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family, and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.
