On last week’s “The Apple: A Bite of Culinary Culture” Katherine Perry spoke with Ina Lipkowitz, a literature professor at MIT and author of “Words to Eat By: Five Foods and the Culinary History of the English Language”. The book traces the history of a few of the most basic food words in English–and what they reveal about us.”
