A History of Food by Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat

"Quirky, encyclopaedic, and hugely entertaining. A delight." Sunday Telegraph

New and Expanded Edition Published 15 October 2008, ISBN: 978-1-4051-8119-8 / 776 pages

"Indispensable, and an endlessly fascinating book. The view is staggering. Not a book to digest at one or several sittings. Savour it instead, one small slice at a time, accompanied by a very fine wine." New York Times

A History of Food is a classic work which explores man's relationship with food from earliest times to the present day. Maguelonne Toussaint-Samat tells the story of cuisine and the social history of food taking in fascinating, little-known byways along the journey. For instance, we learn that the Aztecs enjoyed chocolate as a drink with chilli and honey; we discover the Iroquois origins of popcorn; we hear about the potential culinary and farming uses of lupin seeds. This new expanded edition brings the story up to date and is packed with nearly 70 illustrations and new colour plates.
