In this biography of the pineapple, the author describes her encounters with the fruit in many parts of the world - Australia, Papau New Guinea, Great Britain, USA, Nepal, Vietnam, the Phillipines, Laos, Bangladesh, Tobago, Kenya and Ghana. She deals with the cultivation of the pineapple, its discovery by Christopher Columbus, and its introduction to the western world and then by European colonial powers to Asia, Africa and the Pacific.

The book features more than 40 pineapple recipes collected from around the world.
