Spices and Wonders... in the wake of Polo
Saturday
Where do the spices that embellish the dishes and tables of the lords of the Middle Ages come from? What makes peppers, cinnamon, galangal or even the seeds of Paradise famous, which embellish bowls and drinks with their exotic colors and scents?
If we had to name just one merchant family, it would be the Polos, whom we would follow from Venice to the court of the great Khan. An itinerary dotted with a thousand and one flavors and a good dose of wonder.
