RIGHTS SOLD TO:
Senac/Liberdade (co-edition) (Brasile)
Even more than words, food is suited to mediating between different cultures, lending itself to all kinds of inventions, hybrids and contaminations. Historians, anthropologists, and sociologists discuss the role of cooking as an instrument of identity and a vehicle and product of cultural exchange. The World in the Kitchen investigates the flow of ideas, products and men that throughout the ages have influenced the construction of culinary identities. Reserving surprises that call into question both simplifications and stereotypes. Paolo Denicolai, L’Indice
