The cultural tradition through food and health as a combination of a complex and changing relationship between body, emotion and mind. A book that does not treat the food tout-court but the culture, knowledge and individuality that it represents. An original point of view thanks to the author's travels and the recipes of different cultures that traditionally did not depend only on wheat for their carbohydrate intake. A broad and new view that leads us to reflect on a deeper concept of well-being that goes beyond the idea of ??obtaining "perfect health in ten steps".
