Discepolo di Gualtiero Marchesi e Alain Ducasse, Davide Oldani è a sua volta diventato un maestro. Un maestro molto particolare, come dimostra questo audiolibro. Piuttosto che lasciar cadere dall'alto sapere ed esperienza, Oldani sembra porgere dell'uno e dell'altra la condivisibilità, i princìpi (semplici, di buonsenso) che è venuto, quasi automaticamente, scoprendo lungo la strada percorsa.

Vigne circondate da boschi, o dai resti di città perdute, vigne immerse in paesaggi incantevoli, vigne che abbracciano antiche abbazie, si dispiegano alle pendici di un vulcano o a picco sul mare: tanto variegati sono i territori del vino italiani. Seguiamolo allora questo itinerario, da sud a nord, privilegiando i vitigni più antichi, anche millenari, che sono giunti nella penisola lungo le direttrici dei coloni Greci, o frutto di domesticazione da parte degli Etruschi o di popolazioni locali.

Perché gli Italiani mangiano la pasta al dente? La "tempura" è davvero un'invenzione giapponese? Perché la pizza ha conquistato il mondo? E perché il sushi ha conquistato noi? E cosa c'entrano il baccalà con il Concilio di Trento e il caffè con la nascita delle compagnie di assicurazioni? Sono alcuni degli argomenti affrontati da questo libro. Tradizioni gastronomiche, modi di cuocere il cibo, maniere di comportarsi a tavola, passioni, repulsioni, valori estetici, tipicità, territori, sono altrettanti specchi del rapporto che gli uomini hanno con se stessi.

In Planet Taco, Jeffrey Pilcher traces the historical origins and evolution of Mexico's national cuisine, explores its incarnation as a Mexican American fast-food, shows how surfers became global pioneers of Mexican food, and how Corona beer conquered the world.
