It was ok， I did learn a thing or two。 But it had to redundancies from other books in the series。

I sat down to read a little of this book because I have a few others I already started。 Well， 2 hours and 13 minutes and 222 pages later I was finished with it。 It was absolutely wonderful！ There is so much information。 The drawings made a visual of the information that made you SEE it and not just take in the information。 It covers food， appliances， techniques， origins of dishes， and tons of other things from around the world。 I am NOT a chef and I loathe cooking。 But， I love to eat and am a fo I sat down to read a little of this book because I have a few others I already started。 Well， 2 hours and 13 minutes and 222 pages later I was finished with it。 It was absolutely wonderful！ There is so much information。 The drawings made a visual of the information that made you SEE it and not just take in the information。 It covers food， appliances， techniques， origins of dishes， and tons of other things from around the world。 I am NOT a chef and I loathe cooking。 But， I love to eat and am a foodie。 I live to experience different cuisines and eating at a restaurant for the first time is thrilling。 I highly recommend this book if you like to eat。 It is a fun book！ 。。。more

Lumayan informatif berkat konten buku yang didominasi dalam format ilustrasi。 Namun porsi regional makanan yg muncul dlm buku ini didominasi oleh Barat。 Untuk Asia sendiri didominasi oleh Jepang dan Cina。 Negara sisanya antara tidak termasuk dimunculkan atau di kisaran 2-3%。

What a fun book！ In just a couple hours， I traveled the world through food （drawings） and learned a lot about food origins and processes。On these cold social isolation days of Covid I’m craving pretty books， and this was a win！

My son had so many questions about grains and other kinds of food that we cook and eat。 This book had it all。 Very educative for kids。 Love all the books written by this author。

Made several intimidatingly complex topics accessible through radical simplification with a dash of whimsy。 This is fundamentally more of a coffee table book than a repeat reference。

Another excellent book by Julia Rothman！ Beautifully illustrated offering a snapshot into the world of food！

THIS IS A FUN BOOK。 Do you like trivia？ Do you like to cook？ Do you like to eat？ Do you like food？ Then get this book full of delightful drawings and interesting facts。

I came across Julia Rothman being stuck at home for months on end with a tween and a teen。 While relatives have sent me books and punch needle supplies， my husband puzzles， and my daughter paints and canvases， my son has been harder to figure out。 I mean， he could just play video games straight from March through whenever this pandemic ends， but that would not be wise。 We have tried models， books （which actually does work， but only for the required hour per day）， sketchbooks， and then sigh and k I came across Julia Rothman being stuck at home for months on end with a tween and a teen。 While relatives have sent me books and punch needle supplies， my husband puzzles， and my daughter paints and canvases， my son has been harder to figure out。 I mean， he could just play video games straight from March through whenever this pandemic ends， but that would not be wise。 We have tried models， books （which actually does work， but only for the required hour per day）， sketchbooks， and then sigh and kick him out the door to play by himself in the neighborhood， a sad figure with a net， on a bike， donning a mask。 （Geocaching and hiking have also worked， but not in a constant stream and not actually in our house。） When I saw Ocean Anatomy and Nature Anatomy pop up on one of my frequent romps through Amazon， I thought perhaps they could draw his attention in a way that only National Geographic Kids has done。 Then， when I realized Food Anatomy was a thing， too， I threw caution to the wind and spent my allowance on a copy。 And some nail polish。For sure， these are “extra” books。 For the most part， they fit in the category of coffee table books， or maybe even bathroom books。 They would be fun to leave out at a rental house。 The illustrations are great。 I appreciate both Rothman’s ability and her style。 How can I describe the style？ Vintage， domestic cartoon？ Ink and watercolor？ They’re not surprising; technically I could do them， myself。 （Actually， now that I think about it， my illustration style is similar。） But they do have a nice， warm feel to them。 They’re meant to by cute and a little funny。 And coupled with all the bits and bobs of nature/food facts， these books are nice ones to have around。Would you sit down and read them （asks the woman who reads cookbooks cover to cover）？ Most likely not， though I have been reading Food Anatomy in spurts， before bed。 I am using a bookmark。 Would you reference them？ You definitely could， though you wouldn’t find a depth of information as much as a few things to fill in an information gap， such as Short Order Egg Lingo or Parts of a Whale。 In other words， these books aren’t comprehensive， they’re interesting and fun。 It occurs to me that these books would be great on home school shelves and also on children’s books shelves。 Not meant to be like Richard Scarry， they sort of are， anyhow。 I could really imagine a grown up snuggled up with a kid and turning the pages， chatting and learning together。You know what else they might be good for？ As gifts for people who have everything （or at least everything they need）。 Well， anyway， if they have an interest in nature， marine biology， farms， or food。 Because the series， so far， （packaged before Ocean as The Julie Rothman Collection） is:Nature AnatomyOcean AnatomyFood AnatomyFarm AnatomyMore books by or illustrated by Rothman:Brick， Who Found Herself in Architecture （illustrator， picture book）Hello， NYCan I Eat That？ （illustrator）What’s Cooking？ （illustrator）Ladies Drawing NightDrawn In （contributing artist）The Where， the Why and the How （contributing illustrator）The Who， The What and the When （contributing illustrator）The Exquisite Book （collaboration with nine other artists）When Strangers Meet （illustrator）Design Sponge at Home （illustrator）Past & Present （illustrator）Book By Its Cover （blog）I am most interested in checking out Ladies Drawing Night， Drawn In， The Where the Why and the How， The Who the What and the When， and possibly The Exquisite Book。 Rothman’s books really vary in topic， but many of them revolve around art and even the artistic process。 Rothman is also big on doing and even spearheading projects with other artists。 She definitely seems like one to follow， if you find that sort of thing enjoyable。 I do。And I’ll be keeping Food Anatomy on a shelf in the kitchen， once I’m done “reading” it。***REVIEW WRITTEN FOR THE STARVING ARTIST BLOG*** 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I was hoping it would go through the different culture and foods。 But it went through the different food groups and parts instead。

REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITIONWhile I indeed was very much looking forward to Julia Rothman and Rachel Wharton's Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World， with my ageing eyes and my from this resulting issues to increasingly have rather massive visual issues with printed cursive writing of whatever size and thickness （and indeed even with hand-written cursive writing， as I increasingly am also having trouble reading and deciphering what I myself have penned） I have totally and REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITIONWhile I indeed was very much looking forward to Julia Rothman and Rachel Wharton's Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World， with my ageing eyes and my from this resulting issues to increasingly have rather massive visual issues with printed cursive writing of whatever size and thickness （and indeed even with hand-written cursive writing， as I increasingly am also having trouble reading and deciphering what I myself have penned） I have totally and utterly NOT been able to read the presented text of Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World with any and all kind of ease （and yes， with the majority of Julia Rothman and Rachel Wharton's written words actually and generally escaping me meaning wise， with me having to constantly approximate what in fact most of the words I have encountered in Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World mean， what they indeed want to and have to say）。 And albeit that what I have actually been able to decipher whilst reading （or rather whilst attempting to read） Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World has certainly been interesting， educational and enlightening enough in and of itself （although I personally was definitely also expecting more narrative， more explanatory analysis and less illustrations， since I actually downloaded Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World as an informational resource guide on food and was certainly not expecting a picture book）， the fact that I ended up with a massive and all encompassing eyestrain induced tension headache and that I was forced to skim， to guess and to continuously be guessing what the impossible to easily read cursive writing font was attempting to present， this has most definitely and lastingly， utterly and totally soured me on this book， has absolutely made me only consider but one star at best for Food Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of Our Edible World （and to not at ALL consider in any manner ever recommending this book for ANYONE with vision or with visual tracking issues）。 。。。more

Visually pleasing and entertaining。 Chock full of interesting food trivia and culture from around the world。 A really fun read。Note: I don't recommend reading this in ebook form as it does not do the illustrations justice。 Visually pleasing and entertaining。 Chock full of interesting food trivia and culture from around the world。 A really fun read。Note: I don't recommend reading this in ebook form as it does not do the illustrations justice。 。。。more

I love Julia's illustrations and was thankful to get to see this book。 I already owned her first two anatomy books and promptly bought this one when it released。 We currently use all of them in our homeschool often。 I love Julia's illustrations and was thankful to get to see this book。 I already owned her first two anatomy books and promptly bought this one when it released。 We currently use all of them in our homeschool often。 。。。more
