an excellent book
28 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
I'm not sure what the previous reviewer expects in a book; sure this isn't a pop survey, but it's intelligent, thorough, and interesting. It is more of a scholarly history, so if you're after something simple try another book. This is very well researched, and if you're interested in the history of cooking as I am, it's an absorbing read.

still a classic
1 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a first class academic work. I have been assigned this book for my social history of food class for over ten years now. The students find it tough going. It is fairly "dry" but that's because it contains what many books on food to not .... an argument.

scientific, unfortunately not amusing
19 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
Although the book's jacket cites a lot of flattering comments like "fascinating" and "to our pleasure, amusement ..." - unfortunately this is simply not true. The book is - for the average reader - overly scientific, dry and boring.
