A fascinating and deeply researched investigation into the mysteries of flavor—from the first bite taken by our ancestors to scientific advances in taste and the current "foodie" revolution.
Taste has long been considered the most basic of the five senses because its principal mission is a simple one: to discern food from everything else. Yet it's really the most complex and subtle. Taste is a whole-body experience, and breakthroughs in genetics and microbiology are casting light not just on the experience of french fries and foie gras, but the mysterious interplay of body and brain.
With reporting from kitchens, supermarkets, farms, restaurants, huge food corporations, and science labs, Tasty tells the story of the still-emerging concept of flavor and how our sense of taste will evolve in the coming decades. Tasty explains the scientific research taking place on multiple fronts: how genes shape our tastes; how hidden taste perceptions weave their way into every organ and system in the body; how the mind assembles flavors from the five senses and signals from body's metabolic systems; the quest to understand why sweetness tastes good and its dangerous addictive properties; why something disgusts one person and delights another; and what today's obsessions with extreme tastes tell us about the brain.
Brilliantly synthesizing science, ancient myth, philosophy, and literature, Tasty offers a delicious smorgasbord of where taste originated and where it's going—and why it changes by the day.
John McQuaid has written about city-destroying super-termites, the slow collapse of fishing communities, hurricane levee engineering, mountaintop removal coal mining, and the global flower business for various publications, including Smithsonian magazine, The Washington Post, Wired, Forbes.com and EatingWell magazine. His work has won a Pulitzer Prize, as well as awards from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute for Biological Sciences, and the International Association of Culinary Professionals. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his wife, son and daughter. The struggle to satisfy and understand the kids' strange and contradictory food choices (the elder liked super-hot peppers and limes, the younger rice, pasta and cheese) was the inspiration for his book Tasty.

多少个回合的被吐槽加自嘲?“吃货”这个称号终于变成了一个中性词。尽管如此,“人”被一个“货”字指代,其中的奚落和不屑还是显而易见的。其实,不待见好吃的人,并不始于“吃货”这个词诞生时,“好吃懒做”这个固定搭配也许没有进入现代汉语词典,可是,我小的时候它就已...
评分似乎每个人的口味都不太一样,以前,我们理解为这是我们每个人的舌头上的味蕾感受能力不一样导致的。在上大学的时候,曾经看到过一张叫作“波林图”的味觉地图,认为味蕾对不同味道的感受器官分布在舌头的不同位置,比如舌尖对甜味敏感,舌根对苦味敏感,舌头两侧则对酸味和咸...
评分就“品尝”而言,都能写成一本书。这书让我充满好奇。吃是人类以及动物、甚至是某些植物的本能,但是人类的吃不仅仅是为了填饱肚皮,甚至在吃的过程中尝试各种味道,以官方的语言来讲,就是“品尝”,尝一种味道,品一种感觉。在《品尝的科学:从地球生命令的第一口,到饮食科...
评分众所周知,饮食在我们的生活中占据着不可替代的重要作用,所谓民以食为天。如今,遍布城乡的各种大大小小的餐馆、饭店,花样繁缛的各色菜系,色、香、味、形俱全的菜肴琳琅满目,令人大有应接不暇之感。饮食的影响无所不在,人们于路上相遇,每每一句:“吃了吗?”简...
评分吃货的进化史 评《品尝的科学》 周末的早上,懒懒地起床之后,为自己泡一杯茶,看一会书之后准备早餐,昨晚已经“智能设置”熬好的大米粥,到市场买的豆沙饼,以及拌的黄瓜凉菜便是今天的早餐了。家里人都偏喜欢清淡一些,这种早餐几乎每天都在正常地延续,以至于我们都毫不在...
