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.

Adam does a good job of narrating the journey (I’m a huge fan of his excellent YouTube channel), and most of the information is interesting, but it is irritating to hear the Republican Party equated with evil in a series on food.
