Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat

This is the story of how we have tamed fire and ice, wielded whisks, spoons, graters, mashers, pestles and mortars, all in the name of feeding ourselves. Bee Wilson takes us on an enchanting culinary journey through the incredible creations, inventions and obsessions that have shaped how and what we cook.

From huge Tudor open fires to sous-vide machines, the birth of the fork to Roman gadgets, 'Consider the Fork' is the previously unsung history of our kitchens.
