In this engaging, enlightening, and anecdote-filled history, Michael Krondl, a noted chef turned writer and food historian, tells the story of three legendary cities -- Venice, Lisbon, and Amsterdam -- and how their single-minded pursuit of spice helped to make (and remake) the Western diet and set in motion the first great wave of globalization.
