History of Food by Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat

2.0

I couldn’t get past the chapter on honey. The writing style is excessively conversational, equivocating, uninspired, and frankly a little like a college paper by someone who just wants to get through it. This is confusing because there is much detail and clearly some interest for the subject. Another reviewer mentioned that maybe a third of the information presented is inaccurate. I hope not, that’s a lot of filler. It’s a sizable tome of tedious phrasing and unassertive claims.
