Reviews
"A sweet, earthy aroma permeates this book, as Kurlansky delves into our enduring love affair with onions ... [an] engaging, colorful book. Kurlansky, acclaimed author of Cod , Salt , Salmon , Milk! , and other food-related books, has a wonderful time with his subject, noting that onions have long been eaten in nearly every corner of the globe ... A delightful journey that unravels the story of a key piece of nearly every national cuisine." -- Kirkus Reviews "Mr. Kurlansky is a veteran writer. Over the course of 34 books-including bestsellers on such seemingly mundane subjects as salt, cod and paper-he has come to be known for his ability to weave history, philosophy and personal experience into compelling narratives." -- Wall Street Journal "Calcium-heavy gold . . . the fine cream of the book rises to the top." -- USA Today "This eminently readable book is a new tool for scanning world history." -- The New York Times Book Review on COD "Kurlansky continues to prove himself remarkably adept at taking a most unlikely candidate and telling its take with epic grandeur." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review on Salt "Kurlansky finds the world in a grain of salt... fascination and surprise regularly erupt from the detail." -- New York Times Book Review on SALT "The sort of book that Proust might have written had Proust become distracted by the madeleine." -- Editors' Choice, New York Times Book Review on MILK! "This is terrific food writing; like fleur de sel, something scarce and to be savored." -- San Francisco Chronicle on SALT, "Mr. Kurlansky is a veteran writer. Over the course of 34 books--including bestsellers on such seemingly mundane subjects as salt, cod and paper--he has come to be known for his ability to weave history, philosophy and personal experience into compelling narratives." - Wall Street Journal "The sort of book that Proust might have written had Proust become distracted by the madeleine." - Editors' Choice, New York Times Book Review on MILK! "This is terrific food writing; like fleur de sel, something scarce and to be savored." - San Francisco Chronicle on SALT "Calcium-heavy gold . . . the fine cream of the book rises to the top." - USA Today, "An unraveling of the onion botanically, historically, medicinally, literally, economically and gastronomically around the world ... a lively read." - Florence Fabricant, the New York Times "Front Burner" "A lively cavalcade of onion facts and lore from around the globe and across the ages ... unfailingly brisk and pleasant." - The Wall Street Journal "There are few authors better suited to exploring the history of the onion than Mark Kurlansky ... Kurlansky manages to make the cultivation and culinary use of the onion feel like an epic tale as he follows the beloved allium across history, across the globe, and of course, across our plates." - Eater, Best Food Books of Fall 2023 "Mark Kurlansky has made a name for himself with deep dives into singular ingredients, as seen in his previous titles Salt and Co d . Now he gives another cooking staple a thorough analysis with his latest book: The Core of an Onion . . . Kurlansky delves into the science and history of the allium, including its 20 varieties, how and where it grows, and how it has become such a central ingredient worldwide." - Smithsonian Magazine, Best Food Books of the Year "An ode to the most indispensable member of the vegetable kingdom. The Core of an Onion is definitely worth your attention" - Ruth Reichl, La Briffe "Food historian Mark Kurlansky goes deep on one of the first foods cultivated by humans ... Kurlansky really shines when he examines centuries'' worth of recipes for onion dishes, from French onion soup to India''s pakora fritters to the humble onion ring. Cooks and history buffs alike will be charmed and fascinated by The Core of an Onion ." - Apple Books, Best Books of November "Enjoy this quirky treatment of a microtopic from the best-selling author of, among others, Cod, Paper and Milk ! This book explores the onion and how it has shaped global cuisine through the centuries, with recipes." - AARP Magazine "In his usual witty way, Kurlansky--known for his many best-selling single-subject food books exploring the likes of cod, salt, milk, oysters and salmon--presents the cultural, historical and gastronomical influences of the allium cepa in his latest work . After reading the 200 pages, including 100 historical recipes, it''s hard not to develop cepaphilia, a word Kurlansky coined to denote ''the love of onions.''" - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "The Core of an Onion gives the starring role to the humble yet essential onion, combining beguiling nuggets of literature, art, medicine, botany, and agriculture with assured, bouncy writing and more than one hundred recipes ... A sparkling mix of snappy prose with Kurlansky''s own illustrations, The Core of an Onion is a perfect treat that demonstrates the dictate that ''onions have a way of taking on unexpected significance.'' "- The Foreword, starred review "Kurlansky, a prodigious cataloger of comestibles, peels away the agricultural, culinary, and cultural history of onions layer by layer ... Many photographs amplify the fun and a sizable bibliography enhances the usefulness." - Booklist "A sweet, earthy aroma permeates this book, as Kurlansky delves into our enduring love affair with onions ... [an] engaging, colorful book. Kurlansky, acclaimed author of Cod , Salt , Salmon , Milk! , and other food-related books, has a wonderful time with his subject, noting that onions have long been eaten in nearly every corner of the globe ... A delightful journey that unravels the story of a key piece of nearly every national cuisine." - Kirkus Reviews "To love onions is to love the world as it is. If you''ve forgotten this grounding bit of kitchen wisdom, The Core of an Onion is the perfect cure. With his usual wit and insight, Mark Kurlansky finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. Your daily enrichment, not to mention your meals, will be forever enriched." - Rowan Jacobsen, author of TRUFFLE HOUND, "Mr. Kurlansky is a veteran writer.
