Eaten #17: The Food History Magazine

Eaten is a thrice-yearly publication celebrating food history. Each volume contains historic recipes, essays, and engaging stories contributed by historians, journalists, and gastronomers eager to share the history of all things food and drink. They are also handsomely illustrated with photographs, paintings, and drawings.

For this Summer 2023 issue, the theme is Vegetables, and contributors approach the subject from many angles:

• Jessica Kehinde Ngo on “Bakersfield, Birth Place of the Baby Carrot”
• Mark Corbyn on “Bahay Kubo,” a Filipino folk song that describes commonly used vegetables
• Eric Millman on “The Bitter Heart,” exploring artichokes, Jews, and Rome
• Miriam Abdel-Razel on “Molokhia,” the stew made from jute mallow and how the Egyptian method of serving it is the definitive one
• Malia Marshall Ogawa on “Taro, the Big Brother of the Hawaiian People”

Handsomely illustrated as well as readable.

Paperback. Color photographs and artwork throughout.
