History on a Plate - Eric Stanway - Bog

The history of mankind can be traced through the culinary traditions of various cultures that have interacted with each other over the centuries. "History on a Plate" attempts to trace some of those connections, while recalling such luminaries as Thomas Jefferson, Charles Dickens, Mr. Beeton and a pantheon of heroes, rascals and characters who have shaped how we think, and what we eat.
