This is a fabulous book. It covers different parts of the world, over history, and includes recipes from the time periods. It talks about how ingredients changed over time, as civilizations grew and collapsed, and cultures fused. Fascinating. A nice quality book and something fun for the curious cooks in your life!

Obviously a project of love by a Chef and editorial assistant. This book provides a great cross-section of cultural cuisine of the world with great explanations of history as well as the preparation behind various recipes.

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a foodie throughout history? Excellent for the coffee table -- it's a beautiful book to have around the house and makes for wonderful dinner party conversation; the recipes are pretty intimidating but aspirational for a novice chef like myself.

A History of the World in 10 Dinners is much more than a cookbook...the photography is so gorgeous it could be a coffee table book, it's loaded with great history and culinary details, but above all else, it is a great read. Victoria Flexner does a deep dive into ancient cuisine and delivers the material in a highly readable and conversational tone. I loved this book so much I've already gifted it to all my friends!

I love food and history and was intrigued by the beautiful cover. The way the authors combine the history and recipes is really interesting with great stories from the past that add so much context to the food. It is also has really beautiful photos!

This book is so incredibly well made and curated, and if you love history, you will not only find this book tasty but also fascinating! 10/10 recommend

So incredibly thoughtfully put together and GORGEOUS - got it as a gift for my mom who is a huge history buff with a love of food, and after getting it ended up getting the same thing for my in-laws. A PERFECT xmas gift.

Enjoyable even if you're not going to follow the recipes. A real look at how people dined in ancient cultures.

Stunning. Finally a book really new on the history of cooking. The book offers many rare and interesting recipes ! The pictures are amazing, it’s impressive, photos are amazing and beautiful. One of the most interesting book of my « kitchen » library.

I love this book! Great concept and accessible route in to lots of fascinating history, love the connection through food, it's very evocative of time and place. It's wonderfully written too. Yet to try any of the recipes, but looking forward to surprising guests with a Tudor feast planned from the book, it's venison season here in the UK!
