ABOUT GHERKINS & TOMATOES

"Gherkins & Tomatoes" revels in the lusciousness of multicultural foodways and culinary history. Cookbooks old and rare and new, recipes antique and modern, trends, morsels, tidbits, art … . History in the eating ... and the making. And always about hunger, in all its forms ... Ultimately, life's all about cooks and cooking, feeding those hungers.
At present, just brief news "bites" about food or food-related customs will appear. I am working on a large project that demands a lot of time.
