This is a delightful pot porri of all things edible. It is the sort of book you can keep dipping into learing new facts on food and its history. There are quotes, cartoons and recipes. If you are compiling quizzes you will find lots here to test the best of minds and memories. Be warned. It will provoke the appetite.
