A powerful spellbinder...gives us extraordinary insights into our past (Colin Spencer in the Guardian)

Wondrous (Paul Levy in the Observer)

The book that makes all your cookbooks make sense...Bulging with information, anecdote, scholarly detail and unscholarly wit. Cooks, historians, novelists, eaters: everyone should read this (Nigella Lawson in the Spectator)

A fascinating detective story (Frances Bissell in The Times)

Wit and erudition combine in a survey of man's search for food and how it has directed history and shaped the course of religion and society, exploration and technology. A banquet for everyone (Observer)

Meticulously researched and packed with interesting facts (Time Out)
Book Description:
'The book that makes all your cookbooks make sense...Cooks, historians, novelists, eaters: everyone should read this' Nigella Lawson
