The Seven Culinary Wonders of the World

A History of Pork, Honey, Salt, Chilli, Rice, Cacao and Tomato

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Each of the ‘seven culinary wonders’ is a food with a long history and each one has travelled the world and become essential to one or more national cuisines. Pork, honey, salt, chilli, rice, cacao and tomato are all ingredients that are often taken for granted: Jenny Linford turns the spotlight on them, tracing their cultural and culinary histories and providing recipes such as Scandinavian gravlax (salt), Kashmiri potato curry (chilli) or Aztec hot chocolate (cacao) that illustrate their versatility.
