Grow Food, Cook Food, Share Food - Perspectives on Eating from the Past and a Preliminary Agenda for

Mixing food writing and history, adding a dash of cookbook, author and scholar Ken Albala shares the story of what happened when he started taking food history seriously and embarked on a mission to grow, cook, and share food in the ways that people did in the past.
