I love history, food, and food history. This is a great overview of the use of spices and the spice trade in the last 1000 years or so. Very interesting stuff.

Sagan er nánast byggð upp sem handrit að sjónvarpsþáttum þar sem höfundur gengur um og spjallar við "sérfræðinga" að eigin mati. Óáhugaverð og léleg.

This sounded like such a yummy book but its really rather tasteless and bland. There's loads of interesting information about desserts and thier history and culture but the whole thing reads like a boring textbook designed for pastry chef students.

I recieved this book free from the publisher via GoodReads.

I love cultural histories of various foods and so, when I saw this, I thought "desserts, what's not to like?"

I can't quite pinpoint why but I never could get into this title. Not bad but not great either.
