书籍简介

正如Julia Child曾经说过的，"很难想象一个没有洋葱的文明"。

从历史上看，她是对的，而且不仅仅是在厨房里。洋葱在全世界几乎所有的气候和文化中都有独特的发展，它不仅为炒菜、炖菜和炒菜，而且为药物、隐喻和民间传说提供了重要的基础。洋葱非常普遍，但又特别不可缺少，它是库兰斯基极新的全球食物研究对象，他开始探索这种作物如何以及为何统治威尔士到意大利以及其他地方。

库兰斯基以历史图片和他自己的钢笔水墨画为特色，从会喷硫酸的植物背后的科学开始，然后挖掘了20种洋葱和围绕它们建立的文化。在较早被驯化和栽培的作物中，洋葱被古埃及人视为永恒的象征，被希腊人视为力量的媒介，而被中国人视为智力的补充。进入厨房后，库兰斯基对生的、烤的、奶油的、腌制的和腌制的洋葱进行了庆祝。洋葱的核心》包括来自世界各地的25个食谱，分享了巴黎名厨阿兰-森德伦斯为治疗深夜醉酒而喝的洋葱汤的秘密；海明威的生洋葱和花生酱三明治；以及吉布森，一种用腌制洋葱点缀的不羁的杜松子酒。

正如炒洋葱的香味会引诱任何人到厨房一样，《洋葱的核心》肯定会吸引读者品尝到他们的美味故事。

As Julia Child once said, “It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.”

Historically, she's been right-and not just in the kitchen. Uniquely flourishing in just about every climate and culture around the world, onions have provided the essential basis not only for sautés, stews, and stir fries, but for medicines, metaphors, and folklore. Abundantly commonplace yet extraordinarily indispensable, the onion is Kurlansky's newest global food fixation as he sets out to explore how and why the crop reigns over Wales to Italy and everywhere in between.

Featuring historical images and his own pen-and-ink drawings, Kurlansky begins with the science behind the only sulfuric acid-spewing plant, then digs through the twenty varieties of onion and the cultures built around them. Among the first domesticated and cultivated crops, onions were seen by the ancient Egyptians as a symbol of eternity, the Greeks as an agent of strength, and the Chinese as a supplement for intelligence. Entering the kitchen, Kurlansky celebrates the raw, roasted, creamed, marinated, and pickled. Including twenty-five recipes from around the world, The Core of an Onion shares the secrets to celebrated Parisian chef Alain Senderens's onion soup eaten to cure late-night drunkenness; Hemingway's raw onion and peanut butter sandwich; and the Gibson, a debonair gin martini garnished with a pickled onion.

Just as the smell of sautéed onions will lure anyone to the kitchen, The Core of an Onion is sure to draw readers into their savory stories at first taste.
