- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2008This 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.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2004I'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.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2000Although 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.
