Book 8 of 2018 is Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat by Bee Wilson.
This genre of well written non-fiction based on epic deep diving in to a specific subject is becoming a favourite of mine.
I got this as an audio book and enjoyed both the facts, the pace and the narrator. It needed to be broken up over a few days to not be too much information at once but it was quite enjoyable.
If you like to cook and have wondered why we do things in certain ways or use certain tools then this is the book for you.
4 saucepans out of 5.
Should I read this? For the home cook, yes.
What did I learn? Too much to list here. I did love hearing about the history of clay pots.
