Know about the book -

Cuisine and Culture is written by Linda Civitello and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0470403713 (ISBN 10) and 9780470403716 (ISBN 13).

Cuisine and Culture presents a multicultural and multiethnic approach that draws connections between major historical events and how and why these events affected and defined the culinary traditions of different societies. Witty and engaging, Civitello shows how history has shaped our diet--and how food has affected history. Prehistoric societies are explored all the way to present day issues such as genetically modified foods and the rise of celebrity chefs. Civitello's humorous tone and deep knowledge are the perfect antidote to the usual scholarly and academic treatment of this universally important subject.
