LOVED this book. Gina gives us a deliciously insightful look into the world of food. From hanging your meat, to the brilliant work of the egg. She shares many fascinating stories about her life and travels, as well as some fabulous recipes. I can't rave enough about how mouth wateringly brilliant a read this book is. Ever wondered how families managed during the war, or perhaps at the origins of your morning scrambled eggs. Maybe you have detected the fact that all soft cheeses are beginning to taste so similar it's become to difficult to tell one from another without the advertising on the wrapper? Or perhaps your grandmothers intimate fear of pressure cookers has always left you miffed. She gets us eye deep in the world of fish farming, and the history of the digression of apples. What would happen if McDonalds or Woolworths took over the world? I would recommend this book to all Chef's, cooks and kitchen slaves. To anyone who loves to eat, and lives for finding that mysteriously wonderful ingredient that will bring true food bliss. It's also an intriguing look into the human food psyche, what will we be digesting 50years from now?
