Summary
Branka Sacher: Bits and Pieces of Food
The most entertaining book about food by Branka Sacher, the only Croatian woman who graduated from the elite Parisian academy "Cordon Bleu".
Are you interested, for example, in the menu of the last dinner served on the Titanic?
Do you know that one variety of potato is called banana, and one variety of tomato is pineapple?
Or that the ancient Chinese valued chopsticks the most of all silver?
The food tidbits collected in this book are just that, a series of small, crazy spices to our usual knowledge of food.
