Publisher's Synopsis
Volume 10 of Argentfork-formerly an 8-page quarterly, now a 110-page yearly journal-brings more to the table than ever. There are still the deep explorations of how and why we eat and drink the things we do, but there are also trips through the pre-'Fork archive, tasty commentaries, and quick essays on everything from English tea to Mexican lard. There are more photos, too-a lot more-plus a recipe or three, and even a little inspired verse. In this edition of Argentfork ... Kampot pepper: Our man in Cambodia comes home, and bearing gifts.
