Neuburger shows, were driven less by nationalism than by the circulation of powerful food narratives--scientific, religious, and ethical--along with peoples, goods, technologies, and politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngredients of Change\u003c\/i\u003e tells this complex story through thematic chapters focused on bread, meat, milk and yogurt, wine, and the foundational vegetables of Bulgarian cuisine--tomatoes and peppers. Neuburger traces the ways in which these ingredients were introduced and transformed in the Bulgarian diet over time, often in the context of Bulgaria's tumultuous political history. She shows how the country's modern dietary and culinary transformations accelerated under a communist dictatorship that had the resources and will to fundamentally reshape what and how people ate and drank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary C.
