520    An account of the modern history of butter includes tales 
       of the ancient butter bogs of Ireland, the pleasure 
       dairies of France, and the sacred butter sculptures of 
       Tibet. 
520    "The delicious kitchen staple we so often take for granted
       is not merely a stick tucked into our refrigerator door. 
       It's a culinary catalyst, an agent of change, a 
       gastronomic rock star. From its accidental invention in a 
       long-ago herder's pouch to its ubiquitous presence in the 
       world's most fabulous cuisines, butter is boss. Now, it 
       finally gets its due. Award-winning food writer and chef 
       Elaine Khosrova serves up a story as rich, textured, and 
       culturally relevant as butter itself. From the ancient 
       butter bogs of Ireland to the sacred butter sculptures of 
       Tibet, Butter is about so much more than food. Khosrova 
       details its surprisingly vital role in history, politics, 
       economics, nutrition, even spirituality and art. From its 
       humble agrarian origins to its present-day artisanal glory,
       butter has a fascinating story to tell, and Khosrova is 
       the perfect person to tell it. She even includes the 
       essential collection of carefully developed core butter 
       recipes, from beurre manié and croissants to pâte brisée 
       and the perfect buttercream frosting, and provides 
       practical how-tos for making various types of butter at 
       home--no churning necessary"--|cProvided by publisher.
