Flourishing in just about every climate and culture around the world, onions have provided the essential basis not only for sauts, stews, and sauces, but for medicines, metaphors, and folklore. Now they're Kurlansky's most flavorful infatuation yet as he sets out to explore how and why the crop reigns from Italy to India and everywhere in between.
