Food History 101: Fragments of Culinary History


 About the book


Do you ever wonder where the most popular foods came from? Did you know that pasta wasn’t actually from Italy? Did you know that ice cream was invented in China? If you want to know the answers to these questions, please do consider reading the book. Over the course of the book, we slowly unravel the mystery of the origins of various food items. Some inventions were accidental while some were intentional. In this book, we will discuss 10 of the most popular foods and their origin. We discuss the people that pioneered the inventions and also the people that popularised them. So join me on this journey as we crack the code of our culinary history.


About the author


Shreyan Banerjee writes food history series under the pen name “The Holy Chef” and his Instagram handle is @theholychef. Shreyan’s academic interest is in Physics and Mathematics but he is passionately curious about food history & food photography. This passion has stuck with him since the age of 13 and his curiosity motivated him to explore beyond food recipes and the origins of popular food including street food. He wanted to share his curated research through this food history series – starting with volume one which is surrounding western savories and desserts. Shreyan’s intentions for this book was primarily to show how the world’s favorite foods came to be, how they were created or accidentally discovered, and also how they stood the test of time.
