A History of Food in 100 Recipes

You probably don't think about it when you're scarfing down a pound and a half burrito, but food has been around as long as we have — and it's evolved alongside us. A History of Food in 100 Recipes traces its origins from the simplest "meat on stick over fire" meals to modern day molecular gastronomy. Penned by BBC host William Sitwell, it's filled with well-researched information and witty insight, great to have around the kitchen, and equally as compelling a read for people with the local Chinese takeout spot on their favorites list.

Bond No. 9 Lafayette Street Parfum

This smooth and seductive ultra-male oriental fougère captivates both men and women alike. Inspired by the vibrant revival of Lafayette Street — a historic thoroughfare weaving through iconic New York neighborhoods like Soho, Little Italy, and Chinatown—the fragrance embodies the energy of its surroundings. It opens with fresh bergamot, coriander, and floral notes, transitions to a heart of velvety ambroxan and rich vanilla, and finishes with lingering dry wood, tonka bean, cedarwood, and warm grey amber. Encased in a sleek, leather-textured bottle, Lafayette Street is a celebration of modern masculinity and a tribute to Bond No. 9's roots.
