Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson

4.0

This is a highly researched, really fascinating history, not of the way people's eating habits have evolved, but the way in which our tools for cooking and implementing our diet has progressed (and in some ways, not changed at all) through the ages. Readers who are interested in the history of cooking, the science and technology behind food preparation, or even have a general interest in anthropology will find this book enjoyable. It is written in a conversational, very accessible style that invites readers to participate in a tangible, organic journey, rather than simply read a list of explicated facts. It is an engrossing read that, while perhaps will not revolutionize your cooking, will definitely offer useful and entertaining insight into the way we cook and eat. I would highly recommend this to foodies and people interested in people and technology.
