From the forbidden fruit of the Old Testament to the numerous laws broken at Francoise Mitterand's final meal, 'In The Devil's Garden' is a mouth-watering history of food taboos from around the world - a smorgasbord of culinary titbits to spice up any after-dinner conversations.
In an age when half the world's population - from cow-loving Hindus to Kosher Jews and Western vegetarians - still live with harsh dietary restrictions, Allen reveals just how significant, and pervasive, our relationship with food is.
