In its original dust jacket (very lightly bumped at edges). Written by a fine storyteller, this is a history of mankind meeting its world on its plates. Every ingredient of our past and present can be read in recipes - our identity and relationships told through the food we have cooked and eaten. A cultural as well as a culinary history.
