Who’d have thought milk could be such a controversial topic? Breastfeeding,homogenization,pasteurization,hormones,antibiotics,tuberculosis etc.
A history that often highlights class inequities, corporate and government malfeasance and political struggles ( the US embargo of Cuba caused them to make a great cone) but leaves room for discussion of the origins of ice cream sodas,sundaes and much more.
There are recipes throughout, though you may have to rush out and get some yak milk to fully participate.
What’s not to love?

This book works on several levels. As a broader international history, as a conservation story and as a narrow social history. Plus, if you are looking for a good cod recipe-look no further. Enjoyed it.

ok, I probably found enough of it interesting for 200 pages, rather than the nearly 400 it is, but it was far more interesting then the topic would lead you to believe.

Everything you ever wanted to know about onions including their history, varieties and uses from ancient times to the present. There is a lot of cool trivia including that George Washington had an onion patch next to his house which he would dig up a couple and snack on. Also, Custer (of last stand fame) ate them all the time to the chagrin of his wife. The Romans feasted on all manner of bulbs including many flowers like Gladiolas. My issue is the overkill of recipes. How many variations on onion soups do you need to read about?… (mere)
