“I’ve fallen in love with a new book about food, and I wish I’d had it 20 years ago… Without being too worthy the book looks at how much work goes into producing a single grain of rice, the impact of particular foods on the planet, and on us, and what food might be like in the future… When my two were little, this would have been a favourite book, something that showed them the world, introduced different foods and cultures, had some amazing facts and that I – rather selfishly – would have enjoyed and learnt from too.” Diana Henry, Waitrose Weekend Magazine
