Publisher's Summary:
The United States boasts a culturally and ethnically diverse population which makes for a continually changing culinary landscape. But a young historical gastronomist named Sarah Lohman discovered that American food is united by eight flavors: black pepper, vanilla, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, MSG, and Sriracha. In Eight Flavors, Lohman sets out to explore how these influential ingredients made their way to the American table.
Eight Flavors introduces the explorers, merchants, botanists, farmers, writers, and chefs whose choices came to define the American palate. Lohman takes you on a journey through the past to tell us something about our present, and our future.
We meet John Crowninshield, a New England merchant who traveled to Sumatra in the 1790s in search of black pepper, and Edmond Albius, a 12-year-old slave who lived on an island off the coast of Madagascar, who discovered the technique still used to pollinate vanilla orchids today. Weaving together original research, historical recipes, and Lohman's own adventures both in the kitchen and in the field, Eight Flavors is a delicious treat - ready to be devoured.
Critic Reviews:
"Her enthusiastic charm and what you sense is genuine Midwestern niceness shine through...Lohman is assiduous in tracking down early recipes and describing cooking techniques." (New York Times)

Yummy
I came away with more respect for American cuisine after listening to this book. Our food is not merely an imitation of other cuisines; it is a complex reflection of history, immigration, and the creation of new foods. The only thing I was sad about was that the audio version didn't come with a print out of the recipes included in the book.
Excellent read!
Excellent read even if you don't like to cook. Really enjoyed the author's outlook in life.
Interesting and light
Good story, well researched, challenging recipes. I enjoyed the cooking and cultural review. Bon apetite.
super interesting with lots of yummy recipes!
I really appreciate it how well-researched and interesting this book was. Plus, the recipes make it worth the read alone! Can't wait to try some of them out!
