Birdseye: The Adventures of a Curious Man
by: Mark Kurlansky

I won this book from a Goodreads/First reads giveaway

I have to say I enjoyed reading about Clarence Birdseye. I grew up with his foods and never had any idea that he was an inventer with more than 200 patents. He was a hunter, a photographer and a "foodie" before his time.

Clarence Birdseye was very curious about everything and had a real zest for life. His curiosity was his drive to "figure things out" and the force behind Birdseye's success. He was always trying to make it better. This book goes through the history of frozen foods and even having to convince people that it was safe to eat. (that seems so funny compared to the amount of frozen foods we consume today).

This is a great book and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend this book. I learned alot about how much Mr. Birdseye invented to make his frozen foods work. (several machines to make things work and easier). He was a treat to read aobut.
