- Synopsis
- Written for students, general readers, and foodies alike, Haden's (gastronomy, history of food and drink, U. of Adelaide, Australia) text provides a solid introduction to the food culture of the 22 diverse Pacific Ocean countries located on some 12,000 islands spread across roughly one-third of the earth's surface. A general introduction is followed by an historical overview of the region, description of major foods and ingredients, cooking techniques and technologies, typical meals, regional specialties, traditional dining practices versus eating out, special foods for special occasions, and diet and health issues. In addition to a map of the region, a timeline of key historical and food-related events, a glossary of terms, and a list of online, video/film, and print resources, the text includes a sampling of traditional recipes. Illustrated with b&w photographs. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
