Episode notes

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture & gastronomy educator.

Episode 8

Our relationship with nature has always been a complex one. Unlike any other species in the world, we’ve dedicated our entire existence to alter it in all sorts of ways, for our own benefit. An apple orchard is a delicate man and nature-made ecosystem where not only apple trees live but also more than 2000 insects that call it home.

The book explores the meandering and fascinating history of apples through many intertwined stories that go from horticulture to politics, taste, farming, mysticism and cultural history. With an evangelical passion, Pete Brown introduces us to the wondrous universe of traditional apple orchards and history’s most desired, feared and worshipped and intriguing fruit.
