The Genealogy of Plant Foods

“A veritable who’s who of the plants we eat, this book shares the backstories of foods I thought I knew well. Turns out we were only marginally acquainted. Everything I didn’t know is here: the history, evolution, culinary landscape, and nutritional bounty of the amazing seeds, roots, flowers, and fruits that have nourished life on Earth from its beginnings.” * Victoria Moran, author of Main Street Vegan and Age Like a Yogi *“A deeply fascinating book that explores the origins of our food and serves as a valuable reference on the medicinal properties and preparation methods of each food it describes. It beautifully illustrates how people across the world are interconnected through the foods we share as a global humanity. A delightful enrichment of my library.” * Wouter Bijdendijk, author of Plant Power *
