Kniha plná jídla – Tajovský Pospěchová Petra (2025)

Food is much more than just a set table.

Food has many forms and meanings. It is primarily the building material for the human body. It can be both medicine and poison (never eat polar bear liver!). Food says much more about a person than just their tastes. It reflects their attitudes, but often also their social status. Wealth is displayed even on the plate (did you know, for example, that some people eat gold?). And when there is not enough food, it can trigger a revolution (like the Great French Revolution). Thanks to cooking, you can become a superstar with millions of followers. And through tasting local food, you often get to know a new country better than with a tourist guide.

The author has utilized her culinary knowledge to write a comprehensive educational book about food aimed at children. Among other things, you will find out who invented chocolate, what the first refrigerator looked like, or why people from mountainous regions cook similarly around the world.

You can't do without food. And if you want to understand how food multifacetedly shapes human life, you can't do without this book either.
