Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat

Food historian Bee Wilson tells the surprising story of the kitchen tools we take for granted, from knives and fire to the fork, the measuring cup, the egg timer, and the refrigerator. Mixing history, science, and personal stories, she shows how each invention changed not only how we cook but what we eat and even how our bodies developed. A witty, eye-opening read for anyone who loves food.
