Pizza, Pickles, and Apple Pie: The Stories behind the Foods We Love by David Rickert

5.0

If you love food as much as I do, you will love this book ! It is fun and so educational ! Reading it, I learned a lot about the history of some famous dishes like pizza or sandwich. David Rickert created a great food comic that will interest children and adults alike. I was impressed by all the interesting facts presented in this book. It is a pleasant and serious read, but presented in a very unique and hilarious way.

Starting from the first historical mention of the dish, it describes its evolution throughout history and all the inventions that made it more accessible for a larger public. I enjoyed how the book is separated into three parts (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner and Dessert which makes it really easy to use and follow.

If your child is a foodie and wants to learn more about the history of Food, it is the perfect read (also don’t hesitate to borrow it as well).
