Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing story...
Review: I read this book the month it came out in 1994. I'm not sure how I found out about it but oh well...

Tomatoes are one of god's gifts and if you have the least bit of interest in this amazing fruit, get this book. The history of the tomato and how it arrived on people's plates after centuries of neglect is way more interesting than any Bond film. The author's research is meticulous.

Also, the back of this book has historic recipes from the 1800's that use tomatoes. This of course could spur someone to pursue a career in archeological gastronomy. The bottom line is I love this book and it is one of my top 5 most prized books.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great collection of information of history
Review: The author is a hard working person. So it's very convinient for readers to read the aspect of hitory. However, it's merit also is it's weakness. We could not get any personal viewpoint of the author. We could only get the results of author's research.
