Synopsis
Felipe Fernández-Armesto's Near a Thousand Tables provides a lush hisotry of food, defining cooking as a social act that defines cultures, and looks at the world of cuisine as a series of revolutions. Imagine the impact of cooked food, of herding and domestication of animals for meat, up through our world of industrialization and global reach. "Food gives pleasure," Fernández-Armesto writes, and "can change the eater for better or worse." He concludes, "the role of the next revolution will be to subvert the last."
