Synopsis:
The flavour and image of the coconut are universally recognizable and conjure up sweet exotic pleasures. Called the 'Swiss Army knife' of the plant world, the versatile coconut can be an essential ingredient in savoury curries, or a sacred element in Hindu rituals or Polynesian kava ceremonies. Coconut's culinary credentials extend far beyond being sprinked on a fabulous layer cake or cream pie, and include products such as coconut vinegar, coconut sugar, coconut flour and coconut oil. This book explores the global history of coconut from its origin to its recent elevation to superfood status.
