"The story of food is cultural as well as culinary. The history of how we produce, process, prepare and eat it encompasses ecology as well as gastronomy. In this book, the history is global. It ranges over half a million years, but Felipe Fernandez-Armesto always makes it contemporary, tracing it back from current food trends and food chains, tastes and anxieties."--BOOK JACKET.
