Consider the Fork



I just finished reading this book.  A lot of fun and super interesting.  The author, Bee Wilson, explains the history behind the everyday kitchen tools, cooking vessels, utensils and appliances we use for cooking and eating.  Since the practice of eating is a significant part of daily life for every person the world over, the story of how we cook and eat is a rather comprehensive lesson in anthropology and cultural history.
