Most recipes (based on dinners for two) are accompanied by Josh Wesson’s and William Wadsworth’s wine suggestions, as well as some basic quick variations on the recipe theme.

The Story of Corn
by Betty Fussell

In a unique blend of social history, myth, art, science, industry and anthropology, the author narrates the story of the New World through its staple grain.
