Salt: Grain of Life - Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History
Pierre Laszlo

Mixing literary analysis, history, biology, physics, economics, art history, political science, chemistry, and linguistics, this book talks about the everyday substance that rocked the world and brings zest to the ordinary.
