Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson
4.0
Fascinating
Such an interesting book. We spend so much time looking at history of leaders and wars. We focus on technology of computers, travel. But we never look at domestic life. How the way we cooked, the tools we invented furthered humanity. Obviously major inventions like the refrigerator or the stove but the fork, ice, the veggie peeler!
I can’t say this was the best written book I ever read but if you want to nerd out on where the wooden spoon came from this book is for you.
