The Taste Makers: How New World Foods Came to Old World Kitchens (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The latest book from Vicki Oppenheimer is called The Taste Makers, illustrated by Mona Luisa Diogo!In 1991 she wrote "On the Nature of Food", now in its second edition. She continued her research on food, following a trail that led her to the Near East, Europe, Asia and Africa. The introduction of New World foods to Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries saved millions of people from starvation and enormously increased the entire world's food resources and tremendous population growth. "The Taste Makers" tells this dramatic story. Vicki now lives in Naples, Florida. She is still vitally interested in world politics, education and, of course, food.
