I am really interested in Food anthropology and the history of the food that we eat.
Do you guys have any good recommendations on this topic?
Thanks.

#2Harold McGee's "On Food and Cooking" (non-affiliate link: http://www.amazon.com/On-Food-Cooking-Science-Kitchen/dp/068...)
Similar, scientifically, to Alton Brown, but much more detailed (and less humorous). This is equivalent to an O'Reilly book on food.
