The Man Who Ate Everything
Andrew Graham-Dixon presents a profile of the food writer Alan Davidson, one of the unsung heroes of the culinary world. Davidson's greatest work, the Oxford Companion to Food, took him 20 years to write. It's an encyclopaedia of everything a human being can eat, from aardvark to zucchini, all catalogued in 2,650 entries. But it is much more than just a food reference book; it is a portrait of the human race, its cultures, customs and histories, all revealed through the stories of what we eat.
