This is a perfect book to use in elementary grade classrooms to explain how food gets to our tables. It teaches children to appreciate all the people that are involved in the food process. Rhyming is also a great bonus from this book!
pickThe wonderful illustrations are a great way to explain how much work goes into providing our food. This book shares simple explanations and promotes thankfulness. Great read for curious young children!
pickIf you want to cook classic French dishes, this is a good cookbook. However, it requires access to a good butcher and ordered specialty supplies for many recipes. It‘s not one I‘ll be referring to often, but I enjoyed Tony‘s asides and advice. I think Appetites, his later home cookbook with recipes from his travels, is the more visually interesting, easier to cook from book…except when he recommends buying $200 cans of tuna…
pickThis was an interesting book! It describes the history & impact of refrigeration in the world. I‘ve never considered how so much of my food has to be refrigerated at some point in its lifecycle! She touches on the energy use & environmental impact of the “cold chain” in the world as well, and compares refrigeration in the US to other countries like China & Rwanda. This is a great book if you have a general interest in history, culture, & science!
pickPete Brown is a food and drink commentator and food award judge. This is a fascinating look at 9 dishes that have come to be regarded as quintessentially British (including curry, cream teas and fish and chips) with Brown mixing comment on their development, place in British society, questions of authenticity and what they say about British class and culture with his own relationship with food, having grown up working class in Barnsley.

pickMy favorite scene was when they made the dough, wow! Lotta and her shell phone save the party. But how could we make this party safe for the anchovies? No time for deep thoughts #readforfun
