This book really highlighted how food is so much more than ingredients, it's a way of connecting with others and memories. I enjoyed reminiscing over some of the meals that I have shared with my parents and grandparents, and this book was lovely to see how generations are connected and are different from each other with their views on food.
It was a great way to get me thinking about culture too, why certain foods are attached to certain times (for example, post-war meant using up every scrap, which is now a the again to fight food waste, and healthy diets have varied greatly over time). The reflection that this book allows for is something I enjoyed.
This is definitely a book that I'll be sharing with friends and family - its something that everyone will absolutely love! I enjoyed reading it from start to finish, and it was so easy to dip into whenever I had a spare moment!
