Description
'Nuts have been nibbled the world over since dinosaurs roamed the earth. In this episode, Ever Wondered about Food cracks open the history of the nut, revealing its journey from King Solomon's pala...ce to outer space - travelling to the moon on Apollo 14. We look at the changing fortunes of the nut from veggie staple to boho-chic, via the pub nut. Once shunned for being fatty and salty, research now shows that nuts can actually lower your cholesterol and help you stay slim. In the kitchen Paul takes us to the tropics with his recipe for Zanzibar chicken, explains the science behind a delicious almond and apricot tart and shows how to make a quick and easy classic Italian pesto.'
