All About Food: Its History and Traditions

From almonds to zucchini, All About Food describes the history and traditions of the foods we encounter daily. Along with 120 suggestive recipes, it traces the history of many everyday ingredients and brings to light some of the little known nuances of these foods. For example, you’ll learn that avocados can be traced back to the seventeenth century B.C. and that thyme was the first herb planted by the American colonists in 1610. The foods are organized into categories and alphabetized for convenient reference.Lee, Hilde Gabriel is the author of 'All About Food: Its History and Traditions' with ISBN 9780963960542 and ISBN 0963960547.
