Review title: The Original
Product review: This 1986 book has spawned many children, as some reviewers have noted. I read Visser's book because it was, as far as I know, the first of its kind. The book is structured around a chapter for each ingredient in a common dinner, a technique that was highly original in its day. The content is very detailed, sometimes too much so for my taste. For instance, the early chapter on corn contains much information that has been restated over the years to the point where it has become common knowledge. As a result, her treatment of corn's history feels like overkill. But it was a fairly "new" subject for general readers in its day. If you are interested in the history of humankind's interactions with foods that are common to America's dining table today, then Much Depends On Dinner is an excellent place to start.
