Query: Informative reading: YES, Class Textbook: No

This book, Food: A Culinary History was used as a textbook for my culinary 101 class at NSU. This book had many key culinary terms that i have not yet learned which made it difficult to understand at first. This book made me research a lot of these term to find out the meanings. After reading through the first few chapters i began to have a better understanding. The book was very informative on the history of early cooking. this book shows you the culinary developments over centuries. Even though the book was very informative i would have not picked it for a culinary 101 textbook. First of all, it was somewhat hard reading for fresh college students and, secondly, it was not set in the way a textbook should be. Textbooks are usually simpler and explain the idea in fewer words. For a textbook it was a whole lot of reading.
