Foie Gras
Few ingredients inspire more soaring praise and provoke greater outrage than foie gras. In Foie Gras: A Global History, Norman Kolpas strives to provide a balanced account of this luxurious ingredient's history and production from ancient Egypt to modern times. Literally meaning "fat liver," foie gras is traditionally produced by force-feeding geese or ducks, a process which has become the object of widespread controversy and debate.
The book includes a guide to purchasing, preparing, and serving foie gras, as well as ten easy recipes, from classic dishes to contemporary Kolpas also explores how foie gras has inspired famous writers, artists, and musicians including Homer, Herman Melville, Isaac Asimov, Claude Monet, and Gioachino Antonio Rossini.
