First published 2015
Bee Wilson's "First Bite" reveals the hidden psychology behind our food habits. As omnivores, we don't instinctively know how to nourish ourselves - we have to learn. Drawing on the latest research, Wilson uncovers how family, culture, and even gender shape our tastes from an early age. Navigating the modern world of processed foods and fad diets, she shows how we can rewire our palates to find pleasure in healthy eating. The key, she argues, is reawakening the joy of eating well.
