Readers will find the authors' juxtaposition of vivid descriptions of specific cooks, artisans, and farmers with a fast-paced history of food engaging and illuminating."--Rachel Laudan, author of Cuisine and Empire: Cooking in World History "This thoughtful and original book invites us to see food through culture and culture through food. Wurgaft and White--son and mother--make delightful company as they guide us through everything from the birth of agriculture to the lamination in a croissant in modern-day Tokyo. I was informed and entertained in equal measure."--Bee Wilson, author of Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat
