  • "Die Kochkunst feiert Hochkonjunktur, aber dem Gemüse bringen wir beim Kochen und Essen nur wenig Achtung entgegen. Dabei ist das Gemüse der verkannte Superheld im Garten. Unauffällig und treu macht es uns zu dem, was wir sind. Fast vergessene Sonderlinge wie Topinambur und Pastinake kämpfen sich zäh aus der Versenkung zurück. Und die heute etwas vernachlässigte Artischocke genoss einstmals königliches Ansehen, auch aufgrund ihrer vermeintlich aphrodisischen Kräfte. Nach Bloch-Danos kurzweiliger Odyssee durch die Kulturgeschichte unseres Vitaminfreundes, kunstvoll gewürzt mit Kochrezepten und literarischen Zitaten von Montaigne bis Proust, wird man das Gemüse auch als Nicht-Vegetarier nie wieder geringschätzen."
  • "Recueil de cours à l'Université populaire du goût d'Argentan présentant l'histoire culturelle de légumes : cardon, topinambour, chou, panais, carotte, etc., en faisant appel à la littérature, l'histoire de l'art, la poésie, le cinéma, la génétique, la géographie, la climatologie, etc."

Whether it is an heirloom tomato, curled cabbage, or succulent squash, from a farmer's market or a backyard plot, the humble vegetable offers more than just nutrition, it also represents a link with long tradition of farming and gardening, nurturing and breeding. In this book, those veggies finally get their due. In capsule biographies of eleven different vegetables such as artichokes, beans, chard, cabbage, cardoons, carrots, chili peppers, Jerusalem artichokes, peas, pumpkins, and tomatoes, the author explores the world of vegetables in all its facets, from science and agriculture to history, culture, and, of course, cooking. From the importance of peppers in early international trade to the most recent findings in genetics, from the cultural cachet of cabbage to Proust's devotion to beef-and-carrot stew, to the surprising array of vegetables that preceded the pumpkin as the avatar of All Hallow's Eve, the author takes readers on a tour of the stories behind our daily repasts."@en
