A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting read. Like Freakonomics or the Omnivore's Dilemma, this book leads you down fascinating paths that you never knew existed and answers questions you never knew to ask. From the ancient history of portable foods (The Mongols had powdered milk? Who knew?) to the modern scientific processes that define much of the food in our supermarkets today, this book covers it all and does so in a fun, engaging way. In particular, I enjoyed the way that Ms. Salcedo weaves in her own experiences in the kitchen as she tries to feed her family as conveniently and yet as healthfully as possible. It makes Combat-Ready Kitchen much more than just a food science book.
