I found this book fascinating. I am a food and history nerd, I first heard of Bee Wilson and this book on the podcast Gastropod (which I highly recommend!). I've been wanting to read it for a while and finally made time for it. My history teacher husband is going to read it over the summer. It is so interesting how technology for cooking has (and hasn't!) evolved over time. And some of the cooking tools we consider indispensable are so very recent. This book made me simultaneously want to clean out my kitchen down to the absolute essentials and also go get all of the latest state-of-the-art gadgets.
