'When we eat,we travel.' So begins 'The Edible Atlas.'
Mina Holland takes you on a journey around the globe,demystifying the flavours,ingredients and techniques at the heart of thirty-nine cuisines. What's the origin of kimchi in Korea? Why do we associate Argentina with steak? What's the story behind the curries of India? Weaving anecdotes and history - from the role of a priest in the genesis of camembert to the Mayan origins of the word 'chocolate' - with recipes and tips from food experts such as Yotam Ottlolenghi, Jose Pizarro and Giorgio Locatelli, ' The Edible Atlas' is an irresistible tour of the cuisines of the world for food lovers and armchair travellers alike.
Mina Holland is Editor of the Guardian's Cook supplement and a food and drink writer.Travelling and living (and eating) abroad inspired her to write about what and why people eat as they do around the globe. 'The Edible Atlas' is her first book; it has been shortlisted for the 2015 Fortnum & Mason Food Book Award and won the 2015 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards Best Culinary Travel Book in the UK.
