Review about Life of The Sex
“The Sex Life of Food” could be more aptly named: “The Sensual Life of Food,” or “Culinary Seduction.” Within the pages we find fascinating details about foods we love and why foods are considered masculine or feminine.
Bunny Crumpacker begins by pointing out the inconsistencies of our food choices and then delves into a brief history of food. Soon you find yourself in a wild romp through a meticulously researched book.
At times Bunny Crumpacker seems to hop from one topic to another while at other times she finds herself caught up in a topic that needs further investigation. The topics range from wedding cakes to fairy tales and from politics to the Aztecs. What do presidents love to eat? When did people start using cutlery? To conclude the book, there are a few recipes. Basil Cheese with Walnuts and Artichoke Hummus looked interesting.
The writing is at some times erratic, jumping from point to point. This makes the book more exciting and the writing style is at times highly sensual. If you are looking for some fresh food writing and you love history then this book may please you.
