We all eat – sometimes with pleasure, sometimes with a guilty conscience, sometimes with friends or family, sometimes all by ourselves. We proudly cook our first homemade porcini risotto, still delight in Grandma's pancakes even at 40, and are amazed by the world's most diverse flavors. In 20 vivid essays, journalist Sira Huwiler-Flamm demonstrates that the way we prepare our food is what made us human. Food shapes our interactions, defines our sense of belonging, nourishes our souls, and keeps our bodies healthy. This book is for everyone who wants to give food more attention and respect in their lives. New product
