Tools for Food - Corinne Mynatt

This book may feel internal to the staff at KitchenLab, but if you're far from our stores or simply don't want to listen to us rant about the items we love, you can now read in the comfort of your own home. Tools For Food explores the history of 250 of our most beloved and exciting kitchen items and how they have changed the way we eat and live. From 12th century Mongolian fire pots to 17th century Chinese scissors, from beloved Tupperware food containers to the iconic semi-functional Alessi lemon squeezer. The book contains lots of popular gadgets as well as what the publisher classifies as lesser-known items (of course, everything is in every KitchenLab employee's home!). From primitive tools to advanced items created by brands such as Le Creuset, Joseph Joseph, IKEA, Tala, Rosti, Pyrex, Oxo Good Grips, Droog, Staub and many more. The reader will be taken on a journey around the globe and explore how and what we cook has changed over the centuries, showing similarities and diversity across times and cultures. From basic supplies to design objects, each image is accompanied by a text describing the origin of the item, as well as extremely interesting facts about its relationship between culture and cooking.
