from Penguin
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:

This book was very well written. Before starting, I was worried that it would be a rather dry read (after all, how much can you say about food?).

Customer Review:

I am really enjoying this book. The current rice shortage and e-coli outbreaks were topics I wanted to better understand, and that's what got me interested (and it has certainly helped illuminate those topics for me). But I'm finding the whole thing fascinating. Each chapter is a... more info
