Little Treatise on Burgers

Everyone talks about them - and eats them! - but who really knows what a burger is? Here, for the first time, an author retraces the true history of the burger, from its origins to the present day. Pierre Leclercq reconstructs step by step the burger's adventure around the world, with its first experiments, its successes, its excesses, its worldwide success, its supporters and its enemies. By placing the burger in its various socio-economic contexts, he describes a whole part of food history which has rarely been covered, and includes some fifty recipes.
