\nby Tanya Steel (Author)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Did you know that Christopher Columbus set out on his most famous voyage in search not of the new world, but cinnamon? Or that rich people in the Middle Ages served flaming peacocks and spun sugar castles to their lucky dinner party guests? Did you ever wonder why M&Ms were invented? (Hint: That candy coating isn’t just for decoration!) The quest for food has inspired all kinds of adventures and misadventures around the world, and this book explores the wildest and wackiest of them all, from prehistoric times through modern day. Stats and fast food facts are featured throughout, along with 30 original recipes, each specific to a particular time and place.<\/em> <\/p>\n
