Book Synopsis

A Book of the Year in the FT, Guardian, Observer and on BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme

'I couldn't love this more' Nigella Lawson

'Enchanting, fascinating and humorous' Claudia Roden

Is there really such a thing as an authentic dish? In a mouth-watering journey stretching from Paris to Tokyo, join award-winning food writer Anya von Bremzen as she chews over the legend of Margherita pizza, indulges in the craze for high-end noodles and digs into the postcolonial paradoxes of Mexico's mole.

Full of eye-opening tales and sparkling wit, National Dish explores the politics of national pride that tie food to place, untangling the myths and misunderstandings around some of the world's most famous cuisines.
