ABOUT THE BOOK This is the quirkiest book about food you will ever find! It is a mixture of personal food philosophy with a structural analysis of world cuisine, set in the context of human migration routes through the millennia. What is the oldest dish humans ever cooked? Is croissant related to lasagna? How to cook rice the Egyptian way? Look for the answers inside, and you will find more questions to ponder. Having read the book, you will never see food the same way. ABOUT THE AUTHORVera Dragilyova is a Synesthete and an Ideasthete.
