Description
Cilantro in salsa and oregano in pizza are just two examples of how herbs have become an integral part of our culinary traditions. However, their history is often overlooked. This book explores the incredible journeys that these plants have made, from ancient medicines to savory dishes. Unlike spices, which were quickly traded around the globe, herbs were often carefully cultivated and preserved by their cultivators. They played a central role in distinctive regional dishes, making them an essential part of our culinary heritage. With its beautiful illustrations and delicious recipes, this book will help you appreciate the importance of these often-overlooked plants. Filled with new insights into the history of herbs, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in food history and the stories behind the ingredients we use every day.
