Garlic has played a crucial role in Ontario's cultural, agricultural, and culinary history. The pungent bulb has gone from reviled, foreign vegetable to adored local favorite now celebrated throughout the local food scene and at the annual Toronto Garlic Festival. The narrative begins with the earliest known use of garlic in cooking in Ontario, its history, cultivation, and the role of immigrants in its original relegation and in popularizing the plant. The agriculture story of garlic starts with its early uses and continues today, with dedicated local farmers who have reasons and stories behind their commitment to garlic. Local farmers and chefs will contribute their tasting notes and weigh in on local varieties. There will also be a range of garlic recipes — popular today, historic, rare, and contributed by contemporary chefs.

This unique culinary history of America offers a fascinating look at our past and uses long-forgotten recipes to explain how eight flavors changed how we eat. The United States boasts a culturally and ethnically diverse population which makes for a continually changing culinary landscape. But a young historical gastronomist named Sarah Lohman discovered that American food is united by eight flavors: black pepper, vanilla, curry powder, chili powder, soy sauce, garlic, MSG, and Sriracha. In Eight Flavors, Lohman sets out to explore how these influential ingredients made their way to the American table. She begins in the archives, searching through economic, scientific, political, religious, and culinary records. She pores over cookbooks and manuscripts, dating back to the eighteenth century, through modern standards like How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman. Lohman discovers when each of these eight flavors first appear in American kitchens—then she asks why. Eight Flavors introduces the explorers, merchants, botanists, farmers, writers, and chefs whose choices came to define the American palate. Lohman takes you on a journey through the past to tell us something about our present, and our future. We meet John Crowninshield a New England merchant who traveled to Sumatra in the 1790s in search of black pepper. And Edmond Albius, a twelve-year-old slave who lived on an island off the coast of Madagascar, who discovered the technique still used to pollinate vanilla orchids today. Weaving together original research, historical recipes, gorgeous illustrations and Lohman’s own adventures both in the kitchen and in the field, Eight Flavors is a delicious treat—ready to be devoured.
