This was a Christmas gift off my wish list, and one of those filler type books to dip in and out of. I particularly liked reading it whilst eating my breakfast.

It's visually a very attractive book, with glorious infographics on every page. Split into morning, afternoon, evening and night sections, it covers a plethora of popular science questions.

In this book Dr. Farrimond presents a book on the science of food that is easy to understand. There are more than 150 questions on the subject which he addresses along with tips and diagrams. Included are a vast area of food, taste, essentials and so much more. The book is interesting and the photography is amazing.
