傑剋·特納(Jack Turner)1968年生於澳大利亞墨爾本,在墨爾本大學荻古典文學藝術專業學士學位。後獲羅茲奬學金在牛津大學學習,並以麥剋阿瑟基金會初級研究員身份在那裏從事研究,獲牛津大學國際關係學博士學位。現與妻子海倫娜及兒子旅居瑞士。《香料傳奇》是他的第一本著作。
A history of the trade that controlled the world and left an indelible impression on our taste buds; a sweeping story of avarice, ingenuity and exploration, spanning the globe and the centuries in its epic reconstruction of this magnificent obsession. Spices: for centuries the staple of cuisine, remedies and ritual, they have commanded the highest of prices. To this day, saffron is, per ounce, one of the most expensive commodities known to man.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs depict a merchant fleet sailing south to the Horn of Africa and returning triumphantly with a priceless cargo of cinnamon.

評分很不错的书,以香料为线索,展示了西方的历史风情。 里面有不少相当有趣的东西,比如中世纪的医学,对香料和食物的研究,和我们的中医何等相似?过去常常看到国人说的西方什么东西,中国“古已有之”,现在看到我们的中医在西方,也是“古已有之”,相当的新鲜。
評分 評分 評分胡椒、丁香、桂皮、肉豆蔻……这些是我们日常用到的调味品。它们在我们的需求品中占比卑微,甚至感觉不到它们的存在(至少对很少进厨房的人来说)。而事实上这些不起眼的香料在近现代之前可是非常的珍贵。于谦诗句:“胡椒八百斛,千载遗腥臊”,胡椒的价值堪比黄金。香料在人类历...
