" ... in twenty meals, The taste of Empire tells the story of how the British created a global food trade that moved people and plants across continents ... Taking us on a wide-ranging culinary journey from the American frontier to the Far East, from sixteenth-century Newfoundland fisheries to present day celebrations of Thanksgiving, Lizzie Collingham uncovers the decisive role of the British Empire in shaping our modern diet."--Jacket.
