Great for anyone who loves food

This book is full of beautiful color photos and information about the origins of a lot of fruits, vegetables, grains, and spices--some of which I had never heard of before! There are cultural references about the people who originally used the food, and who uses it now. There is nutritional information, including a reference chart in the back, and descriptions of how the food is usually cooked or eaten. It's really fascinating, and would make a great gift for anyone who likes to cook. Visually it's very appealing, too.

Delicious

This is an excellent reference for food lovers. My wife and I have had our copy for over a year now and use it almost each week to either look something up or just for fun. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who enjoys food and cooking, or just want to know more about our the amazing plants on our planet.

Colorful & Fabulous

This book is fabulous. I could spend hours looking up my favorite plants and enjoying the colorful illustrations. Wait a minute ... I think I have!
