Publisher's Summary
Join Australian cook Adam Liaw as he investigates the science and history of our five tastes - sweet, bitter, salty, sour and umami. Our taste for salt is vital to our biology but it also turned food into a commodity underpinning global economics for thousands of years. Sweetness that once guided our evolutionary forebears to energy-rich fruits is now used to sell us soft drinks. Deliciously immersive, this epic Audible Original unravels how taste has shaped our food, our society and our planet.
Featuring: Yotam Ottolenghi, Dan Barber, Kenji Lopez-Alt and Fuchsia Dunlop.
Written and produced by Adam Liaw and Josh Martin. Produced by i8 Studio Pty Ltd.

Surprisingly good!
I expected a story of food but this is actually a human story, full of history and drama.
Really well researched and presented in an engaging style..
I listened to several episofes twice before moving on.
Bravo!. Or should I say, Bon Appetite?

Thought provoking series.
Thanks to Adam and all involved with this production.
Loved every minute of this intelligent series.
Not only was the taste aspect great but also the research and history driving it interestingly forward. I even learned a thing or two along the way. Clear and precise narration as well as the music choices and sound effects made this an easy and enjoyable listen.

A Delectable Adventure into Taste!
Adam is a sound but entertaining host. He carries his enthusiasm through each story with calm and grace.
The introduction of experts and professionals was refreshingly edited and I felt it gave a good punch to the information which often falls on deaf ears from monotonous deliveries.
There is history, invention, surprise, and ultimately, a result that created food for thought which I understood. I hope more listeners will get a similar result, while feeling enjoyment through the whole series.

An enthralling listen (I devoured it)
This is a great podcast. Highly recommended for anyone interested in food and history. It's a very admirable attempt at a complete history of the world through the lens of one human sense.
