Crossroads of Cuisine provides a history of foods, and foodways in
terms of exchanges taking place in Central Asia and in surrounding
areas such as China, Korea or Iran during the last 5000 years,
stressing the manner in which East and West, West and East grew
together through food. It provides a discussion of geographical
foundations, and an interlocking historical and cultural overview
going down to the present day, with a comparative country by
country survey of foods and recipes. An ethnographic photo essay
embracing all parts of the book binds it all together, and helps
make topics discussed vivid and approachable. The book is important
for explaining key relationships that have not always been made
clear in past scholarship.
