### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fights for my attention.
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017*

The pages are laid out in framed boxes of words and pictures. It's an interesting design concept but it breaks up the flow of the copy and makes reading more difficult than it has to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    ... friends and family for Christmas because it is the perfect coffee table book
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017*

I am buying this book for friends and family for Christmas because it is the perfect coffee table book. The author had access to the collection of the British Library so the many illustrations are very unusual and very cool. It is also a book that has fascinating tidbits on every page, so you really can pick it up, turn to any page, look at some pictures and come away having learned something.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    tedious
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020*

Promising recipe, bland presentation.  History of food should be fascinating, but author wanders astray attempting to infuse historical cuisine with social inequality ... repeatedly denounces historic cookbooks as written for the rich, apparently unaware most poor were illiterate before the 18th century and unlikely to spend money on cookbooks ... we learn colonial Europeans were hypocrites for denouncing cannibalism because European literature was obsessed with cannibalism, e.g., children's story  "Jack and the Beanstalk" (!?).  Author finds a way to transform interesting subjects into boredom, e.g., the history of dinner parties is unreadable, and the Bovril chapter seems endless.  Almost nothing about restaurants, although rich & poor alike ate out as far back as ancient Rome.
