The tongue is used to talk, to eat ice cream, to make faces, and sometimes to lick the plate. Thus begins this delightful exploration of the organ of flavor in a hybrid book blending literature, philosophy, and culinary curiosity. What does the tongue really do? Why do we crave sweets? Is spiciness a flavour or a sensation? How does taste interact with smell, sight, and even emotions? Where does tasting end and smelling begin? These questions and more are tackled through a mixture of informative, narrative, and lyrical prose that brings the world of taste to life in unexpected ways. Co-authored by poet and philosopher Micaela Chirif and culinary critic Ignacio Medina, this book invites readers into a world of taste-examining flavours, textures, and the surprising connections between them. Complemented by Andrea Antinori''s imaginative and colourful illustrations, this book turns the act of eating into a sensory experience full of wonder.
