For as long as humans have been raising animals, they have been eating lamb. This engaging history tells the story of how we’ve raised, cooked and eaten lamb over the centuries and the place it has in a wide range of cuisines and cultures worldwide.
Starting with the earliest days of lamb and sheep farming in the ancient Middle East, Lamb traces the spread of lamb and mutton to the Babylonians, the Hebrew people during the Exodus and cooks in ancient Rome and Greece. Brian Yarvin details the earliest recorded meals involving lamb in the Zagros Mountains of Iraq and Iran, explores its role in Renaissance banquets in Italy, and follows its path to China, India and the Navajo tribe in America. Taking his story up to the present, Yarvin considers the growing locavore movement, one that has found in lamb a manageable, sustainable source of healthy – and tasty – protein.
Richly illustrated and peppered with recipes, Lamb will be the perfect accompaniment to your next grilled chop or braised shank.
