History Lesson
How Trade and Tradition Shaped Global Cuisines
The history of global cuisine is a fascinating blend of culture, trade, and innovation. Take Italian food, for instance—many associate it with pasta and tomatoes, but did you know that tomatoes weren't native to Italy? They were introduced from the Americas in the 16th century. Before that, Italian cuisine relied heavily on grains and legumes. The transformation of Italian food into what we recognize today reflects centuries of trade and exploration.
Similarly, spices that define Indian cuisine, like black pepper, have been traded for over 4,000 years. Ancient spice routes connected India to the Roman Empire, Asia, and beyond, influencing the culinary traditions of each region. These spices, once considered rare luxuries, are now staples in kitchens around the world.
Mexican food also boasts a rich history. Corn, beans, and chili peppers have been the foundation of the Mexican diet for thousands of years, long before European contact. When the Spanish arrived, they introduced ingredients like dairy and beef, which merged with indigenous foods to create the delicious Mexican cuisine we enjoy today.

Sushi: From Preservation to Global Fame
Did you know that sushi, a popular Japanese dish, didn’t always involve raw fish? Sushi actually started as a method of preserving fish by fermenting it with rice. The rice was discarded, and only the preserved fish was eaten. It wasn’t until the Edo period in Japan that sushi, as we know it, with raw fish and vinegared rice, became popular. The introduction of refrigeration further transformed sushi into a global phenomenon.
