Try to get hold of a copy of "Food: A History", by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (ISBN 0-330-49144-X).
It’s written in English and out of all the food history books I’ve read it is the most academic, well-researched and fascinating.
It will shatter many of the myths about food, including Italian food, which other books still continue to spout, such as the myth that suggests Marco Polo introduced pasta to Italy as a result of his travels in China.
