Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat tells the story of cuisine and the social history of food, taking in fascinating, little-known byways along the journey. For instance, we learn that Aztecs enjoyed chocolate as a drink with chilli and honey; we discover the Iroquois origins of popcorn; we hear about the potential culinary and farming uses of lupin seeds. Toussaint-Samat looks at the transition from a vegetable-based to an increasingly meat-based diet, as well as at the relationship between people and what they eat, between particular foods and social behavior, and between dietary habits and methods of cooking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new expanded edition includes a foreword by food writer, Betty Fussell, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Corn\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRaising Steaks\u003c\/i\u003e, a new final chapter covering recent developments in food production and consumption around the world, and an updated bibliography.
