by Ken Robbins

Food for Thought: The Stories Behind the Things We Eat Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fascinating factsÑit was an apple that started the Trojan War; oranges used to be so expensive that only the rich could afford them--and stunning photographs make Food for Thought a tasty read that will have everyone looking at their plates in a new way.
