Book synopsis

Ethnoscience: Insights into Nutrition and Cultural Foundations is the first book in the series “Culinary Synergies: Exploring Nutrition and Science in Gastronomy”, a five-book exploration into food education, innovation, and preservation. The series encompasses everything from flavor chemistry and sensory science to the role of micro- and macronutrients in traditional and culturally specific diets. It integrates scientific understanding with the latest research in nutrition and considers the environmental implications of specific food choices and the role of food and culture within gastronomy.
Divided into four sections, Ethnoscience begins with an introduction to the discovery of food through nutrition and cultural identity, discussing modern technological advances such as machine learning, digital tools, and sustainability. It then moves into the culinary traditions of Southeast Asia, where food diversity and ingredient preparation's influence on nutritional value are discussed. Section two highlights Southern Europe, focusing on foraging and the health benefits of fermented foods and more. Finally, section three introduces sustainable and indigenous farming practices in North Africa, along with healing herbs, their medicinal properties, and much more. Each section includes case studies highlighting nutrition, innovation, and health.
