This book might feel like an internal KitchenLab memo, but if you live far from our stores or simply don't fancy listening to us drone on about the products we love, you can now read it in peace and quiet from your own armchair. Tools For Food explores the history of 250 of our most beloved and fascinating kitchen items and how they've changed the way we eat and live. Here you'll read about everything from 12th-century Mongolian fire pots to 17th-century Chinese scissors, from beloved Tupperware containers to the iconic, semi-functional Alessi lemon squeezer. The book features loads of popular gadgets but also what the publisher classifies as lesser-known objects (though naturally, every KitchenLab employee has them all at home!). From primitive tools to advanced items created by brands like Le Creuset, Joseph Joseph, IKEA, Tala, Rosti, Pyrex, Oxo Good Grips, Droog, Staub and many more. The reader is taken on a journey around the globe, exploring how and what we cook has changed through the centuries, revealing both similarities and diversity across eras and cultures. From basic necessities to design objects, every image is accompanied by text describing the item's origin, along with fascinating facts about its relationship between culture and cooking.
