Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat
Abandoned at 67%. This book might have landed better with me in 2012, but a decade later it just feels like a breezy (and Anglo-centric) recap of stuff I've been reading about for years.
An English writer takes on a history of how we cook our food, store it and what we use to eat it. Interesting to see the differences in the US vs UK. Also interesting to see the history of how our shopping and eating changed - and what hasn't. I do have a balloon whisk, but use the portable mixer to beat egg whites. And got rid of the rotary mixer long ago because of the blades bending and catching. I've been downsizing lots, so a lot of the gadgets from the 70s and 80s that I bought, have been sent to the thrift store - if they still work - because I just don't cook that way any more. Food Processor? Nope. Bread Machine? Nope. I did take a peek at how many tines my dinner forks had - 4. And do I have different kinds of knifes? Yes, but tend to only use one or two regularly.… (mais)
Interesting history of most utensils.
This is a book I would never had been interested if the audio were not read by Alison Larkin. Alison has taken a subject I would find really too boring to read and turned into into a subject full of charming facts about the kitchen. I found it fascinating to discover the history of canning, can openers and refrigeration. Some things I already knew a bit about and much I did not. And would never learned if it had not had Alison's lovely voice.
