The Faber Book of Food by Colin Spencer
This book is about different types of food, not merely gastronomic pleasures but also the lack of them. In order to illuminate our understanding of food and eating, the editors have plundered novels, memoirs and diaries, travel and recipe books, lectures, essays and philosophy. The book spans the pleasures of the table, culinary disasters, rivalry and snobbery, pretension and generosity from Babylonian times to the present day.
Colin Spencer is an author and playwright and was food editor for The Guardian for thirteen years. He is the author of Vegetarianism: A History and co-author of The Faber Book of Food.
