I was expecting this to me a smaller book but it is GINORMUS!
It's very colourful and the large pages allow for a lot of information on food from around the world. It's varied enough so they'll be at least one dish that you recognised, but also it works as a guide to discover new and exciting recipes.
My kids can be a bit picky, so I think this will be good to go through the history of food, then actually make the dish together as family. Food is in all our history, not just war and industry, and it's not something I've really considered before.
The Authors have done a good job of trying to fit everything in though it is a shame that they missed out the UK. It would be good to learn out how different food cultures migrated to the UK. I'd really like to learn about the history of Fish and Chips. Maybe that could be saved for Volume 2.
I can't wait to get stuck into this book. I've had a quick scan and I know already that I'm going to love it!
