## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read for reluctant historians!
*by C***E on 30 July 2009*

This book gives a fascinating account of the key role food has played in our history. As well as the more obvious changes like the move from hunter gatherer to farmer, the description of, for example, how the spice trade encouraged exploration of the new world, is covered in great depth. It is extremely well written - if like me you were turned off history at school because it seemed very dry, this is an excellent take on the subject with masses of human interest stories to keep you turning the pages. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars
*by J***E on 8 October 2016*

good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Book in good condition
*by L***Z on 5 June 2022*

What did I buy this product for? Because it came recommended as a book to read. It's in reasonably good condition and I am happy with the purchase. It's an interesting read! It says potatoes and sugar helped fuel the industrial revolution!
