Consider the fork : a history of how we cook and eat

Wilson, Bee. (Author). Lee, Annabel, 1966- (Added Author).

Summary: This book offers a novel approach to food writing, presenting a history of eating habits and mores through the lens of the technologies we use to prepare, serve, and consume food. It tells the history of food through its tools across different eras and continents to present a fully rounded account of humans' evolving relationship to kitchen technology. From the birth of the fork in Italy as it discovered pasta, to culture wars over shaped how and what we cook.
