In the Devil's Garden: a Sinful History of Forbidden Food by Stewart Lee Allen

From the forbidden fruit of the Old Testament to the numerous laws broken at Francoise Mitterand's final meal, In the Devil's Garden is a mouth-watering history of food taboos from around the world - a smorgasbord of culinary titbits to spice up any after-dinner conversations. In an age when half the world's population - from cow-loving Hindus to Kosher Jews and Western vegetarians - still live with harsh dietary restrictions, Allen reveals just how significant, and pervasive, our relationship with food is. This 2003 Canongate Books Ltd Paperback is in very good condition.
