The Omnivore's Dilemma

( Michael Pollan)

Also set in the United States, this book takes the consumer on a journey to see where the food they eat comes from. Thought provoking and thorough. I particularly like the last chapter on hunting and gathering, as I enjoy a bit of foraging myself!

 
Honey and Dust

(Piers Moore Ede)

A travelogue where the journey is inwards as well as outwards and the theme is honey - the ancient places and ways it has been enjoyed and the threats to its continuing survival. 

I have always loved bees and honey, but have a new appreciation for them after reading that  -

"The average bee will produce only about 1 1/2 teaspoons of honey in its lifetime"

"One jar of honey is also the result of about 80,000 trips between flower and hive... and the nectar from 2 million flowers."
