"Eight Flavors: The Untold Story of American Cuisine" by Sarah Lohman explores the history of American cuisine through the lens of eight key ingredients that have significantly shaped it:Black Pepper
Vanilla
Curry Powder
Chili Powder
Soy Sauce
Garlic
MSG
Sriracha
Lohman combines historical research, personal stories, and culinary exploration to trace how these flavors entered American kitchens—often through immigration, trade, or cultural shifts—and became staples of American cooking. The book highlights how American cuisine is a dynamic blend of global influences, shaped by changing tastes, migration patterns, and innovation.
It's both a food history and a cultural study, showing how what we eat tells the story of who we are.
