A beautifully illustrated book about food and where it comes from. While written for kids, I think this is a great read for anyone who wants a general overview of the food industry, with a few fun facts thrown in along the way.

Found this in the children's section of the Haringey library, but this is an excellent repository of information for adults that addresses all those unanswered questions about the provenance of all the ingredients they enjoy. And better equips adults to educate children (or adult dinner partners!) about the history of what they eat.

Bản việt là “Ẩm thực khắp năm châu”

Một quyển sách tranh siêu hay siêu đẹp sơ lược về các loại thức ăn quen thuộc từ cổ đại, trình bày từ dạng thô sơ cơ bản đến hình thành món ăn đặc trưng ờ các nước. Tuy sách dành cho trẻ em nhưng mình nghĩ người lớn đọc vẫn thấy hay🩵 Điểm trừ nhỏ với mình là khổ sách làm to quá

Minh họa đẹp gây hứng thú nhưng thông tin thì cũng chỉ dừng ở mức giới thiệu.
Nên mua cho các em bé đọc
