The food of a metropolis is essential to its character. Native plants, proximity to farmland, the locations of supermarkets, immigration, food-security concerns, how chefs are trained: how a city nourishes itself might say more than anything else about what kind of city it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a cornucopia of essays on comestibles, \u003ci\u003eThe Edible City\u003c\/i\u003e considers how one city eats. It includes dishes on peaches and poverty, on processing plants and public gardens, on rats and bees and bad restaurant service, on schnitzel and school lunches. There are incisive studies of food-safety policy, of feeding the poor, and of waste, and a happy tale about a hardy fig tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether they form a saucy picture of how Toronto - and, by extension, every city - sustains itself, from growing basil on balconies to four-star restaurants. Dig into \u003ci\u003eThe Edible City\u003c\/i\u003e and get the whole story, from field to fork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Palassio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1552452190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552452196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2010 pg. 44","brand":"Christina Palassio","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825992126719,"sku":"9781552452196","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb8c51e3-01e0-4efa-ad34-3b78dabb98bf.jpg?v=1746074239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-edible-city-christina-palassio-9781552452196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
