Award-winning food writer Bee Wilson's secret history of kitchens, showing how new technologies - from the fork to the microwave and beyond - have fundamentally shaped how and what we eat. Since prehistory, humans have braved sharp knives, fire, and grindstones to transform raw ingredients into something delicious -- or at least edible. But these tools have also transformed how we consume, and how we think about, our food. In Consider the Fork, award-winning food writer Bee Wilson takes readers on a wonderful and witty tour of the evolution of cooking around the world, revealing the hidden history of objects we often take for granted. Technology in the kitchen does not just mean the Pacojets and sous-vide machines of the modern kitchen, but also the humbler tools of everyday cooking and eating: a wooden spoon and a skillet, chopsticks and forks. Blending history, science, and personal anecdotes, Wilson reveals how our culinary tools and tricks came to be and how their influence has shaped food culture today. The story of how we have tamed fire and ice and wielded whisks, spoons, and graters, all for the sake of putting food in our mouths, Consider the Fork is truly a book to savor.Binding Type: Paperback

Good shoes
Size: 8.5 Wide, Color: Cognac
Great shoes and very comfortable. Not very durable in my opinion. Good for dress or casual.

Great Looking!
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Cognac
I absolutely love my Marc Joseph New York Men’s Hill Street shoes. The comfort is incredible, the style is sharp, and the hands‑free technology is honestly a game changer. Sliding them on without bending down feels like a small luxury every single day. I’m impressed enough that I’m already planning to purchase more pairs.

pretty but did not fit me well
I personally found these hard to keep on my foot. I did like the look of them, and the heel height was nice (not too high, but also not a kitten heel). If you have a wider heel, they may be better suited for you. Pretty, classic, understated shoe.

Back Strap too Loose
Size: 8, Color: Platina
Pretty shoes, but the back strap felt so stretched out I couldn't really wear them. It would have been effort to walk in them.
