When cookbooks describe well-known traditional recipes, they usually provide some sort of introduction or background to the dish. In this book, however, each chapter covers a different dish at the length it deserves, mentioning its origins, etymology, geographical spread, folklore and even appearance in history and the arts, and it discusses its different versions.
