This is a new nonfiction title I borrowed from my local library. If you like nonfiction, you will love this book. Her writing is engaging and detailed.
I devoured this book (horrible pun, sorry). It was an absolutely amazing read that shines a light on the dark corners of refrigeration. I was surprised that one refrigeration expert explains he doesn’t consider the impact of refrigeration (beyond its initial introduction) to be a boon to human health!
I have a degree in food systems and I wanted to recommend this title to anyone who eats, has a refrigerator, or cares about food or the environment. I didn’t fully understand the impacts of the cold chain in the US or that some refrigerated food loses nutrients.
I was also embarrassingly ignorant of the millions of people who live each day without a fridge. It seems impossible to my American mind…
Has anyone else here had a look at it?
Twilley also cohosts one of my favorite podcasts about food: Gastropod, which looks at food through the lens of history and science.
