How We Cook And Eat
What is your favourite kitchen implement? Why do the British use big knives and forks while the Chinese use cleavers and chopsticks? When did you last look closely at the most trusty of implements, the wooden spoon? What’s your most sophisticated bit of kitchen kit? Today, in the kitchen, there’s more to the equipment and preparation of even a simple meal than meets the eye.
Historian, prize-winning food columnist, and author of two previous books on bees and dodgy foodstuffs, Bee Wilson’s latest book is Consider the Fork, the insightful, informative, and wittily-told story of how we have tamed fire and ice, wielded whisks, spoons, graters, mashers, pestles and mortars, all in the name of feeding ourselves and providing nutrients for our ever-evolving bodies and brains.
