A fascinating and unexpected journey through the world’s pantry.

Did you know that Christmas pudding blends Jamaican rum, Australian raisins, Caribbean sugar, and spices from India, Ceylon, and Zanzibar? That modern ketchup is largely made from Chinese tomatoes? Or that coffee traveled from Ethiopia across the globe? Along with fellow historians, Pierre Singaravélou and Sylvain Venayre explore the fascinating history of food – from shorba to ceviche – to understand globalization… through what we put on our plates. A delicious and enlightening journey through the world’s pantry.
