Hardback. Condition: Like New. The fascinating and wide-ranging history of vanilla, from the sixteenth century to today   Vanilla is one of the most expensive of flavorings?so valuable that it was smuggled or stolen by pirates in the early days?and yet it is everywhere. It is a key ingredient in dishes ranging from crème brûlée to Japanese purin. It is the quintessential ice cream flavor in the United States. Eric T. Jennings explains how the world?s only edible orchid, originally endemic to Central America, became embedded in the international culinary and cultural landscape.   In tracing vanilla?s rise, Jennings describes how in the 1840s an enslaved boy named Edmond Albius discovered a way to pollinate vanilla orchids with a toothpick or needle?an ingenious process that is still in use. This method transformed the vanilla sector by enabling the plant to be grown outside of its natural range.
