This is the book I’m reading. It was on my bookshelf for a good long while before I picked it up and dove in, but I’m glad I did.
I love histories on a single subject (if it’s obscure, so much the better) with lots of interesting anecdotes and bits of folklore thrown in. That’s exactly what this book is, but it’s also about a) food and b) importance of sustainability, which makes it timely and not entirely frivolous.
This book was written in 1997, so I am a bit behind on the times. Blame this on the fact that I usually only shop in used bookstores.
Expect a cod recipe to follow, once I’ve had a chance to properly digest this book. Ahem.
Love,
Meggie ^^
