A review by readabilitea
Aan tafel bij dictators, by Goverdien Hauth-Grubben, Witold Szabłowski

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

I liked the uniqueness of the premise of this book: looking at the lives of 20th century dictators through the lens of the food they ate, told by the cooks that cooked for them, but I found the historical context and general information aspect of the book lacking. Too often there were just throwaway comments about significant events and I wanted more. The style and tone was very accessible and it was very easy reading, but I saw myself heading for an at best mediocre read, so I decided it was worth stopping where I was.
