History is Delicious

Picture
​History is Delicious is a vibrant book filled with food from around the world and information on how the food was developed through different cultures.  The book focuses on several countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.  Each section focuses on how the culture and cultural diffusion through colonization, war, immigration, and trade created the signature foods of the area.  Must-try dishes and other food features important to the region are also included.  

History in Delicious is a middle grade level book perfect for a budding foodie.  I do wish there were more recipes and pictures.  Even I had a hard time picturing all of the delicious sounding foods that were described and there was only one recipe per geographic area.  However, all of the different foods described did spark my interest in going out and trying some different things.  I also think maps would have been helpful to pinpoint where exactly each food was from.  I did enjoy the honesty in showing how food has blended through history and passed through cultures
Definitely made me want to try some new dishes and expanded my sense of what foods are out there. 

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
