Not what I expected and not my style of writing. Too dramatic, maybe? I did love the illustrations.

This is one of those 'not just' books. It is not just a recipe book - it is a wonderful miscellany of history, geography, politics, philosophy. It is a book that lifts the spirits because it is full of joy at shared mealtimes,generous hospitality, shared food in times of feasting and famine.

I have dipped in and out of this book for years, but decided this weekend to do it all in one go. A great work of imagination, history, and culture. Not much for cooking here, I think, as I can't imagine making Pigs' Tongues with Pomegranate Sauce for any occasion. But lovely prose and very evocative.
