🟢 Overview: Taste the Past—How Food Shaped Civilizations and World History

From ancient grain routes to Michelin-star cuisine, food has always been more than sustenance—it's been power, identity, and diplomacy. The History of Food and Culture is a one-of-a-kind course that uncovers how ingredients, cooking methods, and agricultural Geography have fueled revolutions, migrations, and even wars.

This is your chance to explore a flavorful and fascinating dimension of World History and International Relations—all through the lens of food. It’s low commitment, endlessly enjoyable, and only available for a limited time. Once this course closes, it's gone forever.

🟢 Description: Discover the Hidden History on Your Plate

Food has shaped History in more ways than most realize. In this vibrant, story-rich course, you’ll explore the journey of spices, crops, and cooking through time. Learn how Geography influenced what societies ate—and how that eating affected global politics, class systems, health, religion, and empire.

Highlights include:

  • The spice trade and its role in shaping International Relations
  • Agricultural revolutions and their impact on ancient Geography
  • Colonialism through the lens of food and forced crop systems
  • Religious diets, fasting, and sacred culinary traditions
  • Modern food justice, globalization, and supply chain history
  • Case studies: tea in Britain, rice in Asia, corn in the Americas, chocolate in Europe

Whether you’re a chef, foodie, educator, or curious mind, this course offers fresh perspectives. And it’s built for life-on-the-go.

With just a few hours a week, you’ll unlock an incredibly rich layer of World History that most people overlook.

⚠️ Don’t wait—this limited-time course won’t return.
