#SeptPhotoChallenge Day 2 - Number in the title

For anyone who enjoys history, cultural anthropology, food, cooking, or things food-adjacent this is a fascinating book. There are indeed 100 recipes within, spanning from 1900's BC to 2011 AD. But alongside the recipes are interesting stories about the ingredients, interviews with chefs and producers, and cultural tidbits that add context to the recipe.
