Book recommendations on the history of food? I'm interested in any aspect. Production, preparation, trade and economics or cultural and religious attitudes.

I know about Salt: A World History and was wondering if there are other good books on the subjects of food and it's impact. I'm also interested in smaller scale like what people around the world and throughout history ate and how diets changed over time.

Hi there, those interested in recommending things to OP! While you might have a title to share, this is still a thread on AskHistorians, and we still want the replies here to be to an /r/AskHistorians standard - presumably OP would have asked at /r/history or /r/askreddit if they wanted non-specialist opinion. So give us some indication why the thing you're recommending is valuable, trustworthy or applicable! Posts that provide no context for why you're recommending a particular podcast/book/novel/documentary/etc, and which aren't backed up by a historian-level knowledge on the accuracy and stance of the piece, will be removed.
