TASTE OF CONQUEST, THE(ISBN=9780345480842) 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　The Taste of Conquest offers up a riveting, globe-trotting

tale of unquenchable desire, fanatical religion, raw greed, fickle

fashion, and mouthwatering cuisine–in short, the very stuff of

which our world is made. In this engaging, enlightening, and

anecdote-filled history, Michael Krondl, a noted chef turned writer

and food historian, tells the story of three legendary

cities–Venice, Lisbon, and Amsterdam–and how their single-minded

pursuit of spice helped to make (and remake) the Western diet and

set in motion the first great wave of globalization. Sharing meals

and stories with Indian pepper planters, Portuguese sailors, and

Venetian foodies, Krondl takes every opportunity to explore the

world of long ago and sample its many flavors. Along the way, he

reveals that the taste for spice of a few wealthy 　　Europeans led

to great crusades, astonishing feats of bravery, and even wholesale

slaughter.

As stimulating as it is pleasurable, and filled with surprising

insights, The Taste of Conquest offers a compelling perspective on

how, in search of a tastier dish, the world has been

transformed.

Praise for The Taste of Conquest

“An altogether rich, perfectly seasoned slice of world

history.”

–The Boston Globe

“As a chef I have always been deeply intrigued by the mystique of

spices. Michael Krondl’s book awakens and transports the reader

into this mysterious world, showing us how our lives and history

have been transformed by the sensuous odors of cardamom, nutmeg,

and turmeric.”

–Gray Kunz, chef and owner of Café Gray and Grayz, co-author of

The Elements of Taste

“Fascinating . . . spicy reading for food and history lovers

alike.”

–Associated Press

“A delicious treat.”

–The Vancouver Sun

“Witty and erudite.”

–Financial Post

“Enticing.”

–Chicago Tribune
