Da quando esiste l'uomo esiste la cucina. E da quando esiste la cucina esiste l'uomo. Nella cucina di ogni secolo troviamo proverbi e modi di dire popolari, ma anche scienza, fisica, chimica, filosofia. La cucina è una palestra dove imparare a vivere e a convivere, dove sperimentare la disciplina, l'ordine, il team building. Più cucini e più conosci il mondo.

An excellent bottle of wine can be the spark that inspires a brainstorming session. Such was the case for Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle, scientists who frequently collaborate on book and museum exhibition projects. When the conversation turned to wine one evening, it almost inevitably led the two - one a palaeoanthropologist, the other a molecular biologist - to begin exploring the many intersections between science and wine. This audiobook presents their fascinating, freewheeling answers to the question.

America is more than just a fast food nation. Food Americana is the inside story of how generations of Americans have formed a national cuisine with tastes from all over the world.

And perhaps the ultimate all-American dish, pizza, is served up in 30 different styles, a total of three billion pies a year, an average of 23 pounds for each of us.
