Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat, by Bee Wilson

[sophia_sol]

This is a nonfiction book that conveniently tells you exactly what it's about in its title, and it does a good job of being what it says it's going to be, so if the title appeals to you then the book will too. It did for me! Its scope isn't broad enough to cover the entirety of human history and all human cultures (largely focuses on European history), but for what it is, it's very readable, entertaining, and informative.
