Moveable Feasts is a wide-ranging exploration of the stories behind the foods we eat, written by Gregory McNamee. Blending history, anecdote, and cultural reflection, the book traces the journeys of everyday ingredients across time and geography.
In the carrot section, McNamee follows the vegetable from its early cultivation in Central Asia through its spread into Europe and beyond, whilst also including some more annecdotal stories.
