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

2.0

This was a neat book with some interesting, quirky information about the history of cooking, utensils, and kitchens. However, my main criticism is that the book lacks a conclusion. It just kind of ends, and not on any sort of strong point. I was also a bit put off by the fact that the chapters have specific titles, but the information included in each chapter isn't strongly connected to the overarching theme. Everything is just sort of thrown together, which really started to irritate me.

Good bits of trivia and history, but hidden in poor writing.

(Note: I read a digital copy, and it was the most error-filled book I've read. So many typos!)
