[Sca-cooks] Book Questions...

[Alexa]

greetings, 

I have just recently started the search and what not
of history with food.  I have not heard of the book
you mentioned, but, I did find 2 in a local library
(Virginia Beach, VA).  One is titled "Food in History"
and is by Reay Tannahill most recent copyright is
1988.  It does the same thing you are mentioning,
timeline type of stuff starting with pre-cave man type
all the way up to what they call 'current day'.  There
is references and such through out the book and is
fairly easy to read.  

The other is called "Food: A culinary History" the
copy I have says the English Edition is by Albert
Sonnefeld and copyright 1999.  Again, it starts with
prehistory and early civilizations and goes up to
current day.  It is a little more difficult to read
due to some of vocabulary.  It also has references. 

Both not only look at food and where they come from,
but also the cultural aspects of food and how it
evolved.  Not sure if that helps.
