A review by jonas_gehrlein
History of Food by Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat

4.0

The book covers most of the history of food consumption and prodution from roman times to 1970 with a strong French focus. So if you are interested in what types of food people where eating in Europe in the past and how food was prepared and stored, this book gives a good general overview even if the authors viewpoint on how good the food is to eat and a few too many digressions into the why french food is the best, but if you want to know more about food history in Europe,this book is highly recommended
