Reviews
Abreu-Runkel's Vanilla is anything but--if that word is taken to mean bland or predictable. . . . [She] comes from the Dominican Republic and certainly doesn't shy away from some of the uncomfortable truths associated with the product and its cultivation. . . . This is a lovely little book--something to comfort the reader during the cold winter evenings ahead., This enjoyable and informative book sheds light on a fascinating topic. Who knew the story of this temperamental little orchid has such an interesting history? This fun volume takes readers on a whirlwind tour across the centuries, and across the planet. Readers are treated to a brief and entertaining history of vanilla's production and consumption. Abreu writes that both Queen Elizabeth I and Giacomo Casanova used vanilla to supplement their sexual prowess, and Thomas Jefferson started a vanilla ice cream rage in the United States after he discovered it in Paris. Vanilla's role in food manufacturing and the fragrance industry are explored, including the dark side of its production and its future on a volatile planet. Brimming with colorful photos and useful facts, this book also contains recipes and links to useful sources to purchase quality vanilla, as well as links to learn more about this remarkable plant.

- g***g (35)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem received as described. Awesome price. Great communication. The only negative aspect is packaging. Thankfully my record was fine, but it was shipped in a very thin cardboard record envelope. My purchase is pretty rare and hard to come by. Had it been damaged, it would take a miracle to find again. I've been searching since 2015, if that tells you how hard it's been. Will definitely be a return customer. My hope is they upgrade their shipping packaging.Romeo & Juliet (Related Recordings) William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (Vinyl) (#404939558357)
