Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel
Hungry Planet: What the World Eats

Gabi, January 11, 2008

Like it says on the cover: an important book.
Real people and real situations -- this is REALLY how and what people eat the world over. It's about much more than food -- it's about how people can live.
I bought this book for the son of a friend...then kept it for myself and bought another one for the kid. I could not put it down. Irresistible pictures and great recipes from the tables of common folks from all around the world.
