Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World
Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World: A History
BY WILLIAM ALEXANDERWhile the edible delights of the tomato might seem obvious to us now, Alexander’s new book about their history shows that the road to a centerpiece of our tables and dishes wasn’t always a smooth one. In fact, the history of the tomato turns out to be much more dramatic than I expected, and the book itself is well-researched and written in an engaging and immersive way. You’ll almost certainly learn something, and maybe appreciate that perfect summer B.L.T. even more than usual.
