Description

Cabbage: A Global History (Edible) by Meg Muckenhoupt explores the paradoxical nature of this beloved and universal vegetable. From its ancient origins to its modern-day uses, cabbage has been both revered and reviled, depending on cultural context and personal taste. This lively book delves into the chemical and cultural basis for cabbage's distinctive aroma, which repels insect pests but can also be overwhelming to some. Muckenhoupt reveals fascinating facts about cabbage's role in history, from its use in ancient Rome to its inclusion in modern recipes like French cabbage soup and sauerkraut chocolate cake. With its engaging narrative and abundance of recipes, Cabbage: A Global History (Edible) is a compelling read for food lovers and historians alike.
