Andreas Viestad, in his book "Dinner in Rome," asserts that there is more history in a bowl of pasta than in the Colosseum. Viestad takes us on a captivating culinary exploration of the Eternal City and global civilization from the table of a classic Roman restaurant. He argues that food is the secret driving force of history. Viestad traces the origins of wheat and its role in Rome's rise and downfall, from the starter of bread to his sorbet dessert, which highlights how the hunger for sugar fueled the slave trade. While his dinner may be local, his story is universal. His "culinary archaeology" is an entertaining and flavorful journey across the dinner table and through time. It will forever change the way you look at spaghetti carbonara.
