Description
Frostbite: How Refrigeration Changed Our Food, Our Planet, and Ourselves by Nicola Twilley The introduction of artificial refrigeration has had a profound impact on human nutrition, transforming the way we eat and interact with food. This book explores the evolution of refrigeration, tracing its development from scientific mystery to global infrastructure. Twilley takes readers on a journey through the cold chain, from farm to fridge, revealing the often-overlooked network of thermal control that underpins our food system. From the subterranean cheese caves of Missouri to the banana-ripening rooms of New York City, Twilley visits off-the-beaten-path landmarks that highlight the complexities of refrigeration. The book delves into the history of refrigeration, its impact on food production and distribution, and the consequences of this technological advancement on our planet. With its engaging narrative and in-depth research, Frostbite offers a fascinating exploration of the intersection of science, history, and culture.
