[Sca-cooks] News from Brill

[Sam Wallace]

All,

This is an excellent book. I feel is was worth paying the hardback price
when it first came out and do not regret it one bit. With the paperback at
roughly a third the original price for the work, this is a good deal.

Crossroads of Cuisine: The Eurasian Heartland, the Silk Roads and Food
(Crossroads - History of Interactions Across the Silk Routes)
By
Authors: Paul David Buell
Eugene N. Anderson
Montserrat de Pablo Moya
Crossroads of Cuisine provides a history of foods, and foodways in terms of
exchanges taking place in Central Asia and in surrounding areas such as
China, Korea or Iran during the last 5000 years, stressing the manner in
which East and West, West and East grew together through food. It provides
a discussion of geographical foundations, and an interlocking historical
and cultural overview going down to the present day, with a comparative
country by country survey of foods and recipes. An ethnographic photo essay
embracing all parts of the book binds it all together, and helps make
topics discussed vivid and approachable. The book is important for
explaining key relationships that have not always been made clear in past
scholarship.
