1. Yeah…lost me at Terrior - There’s a lot to like about this book that’s easy read, and covers a lot of the major points, but the author lost me making excuses for the meaningless use of Terroir. What’s disappointing is the author even admits to the same but the bends over in contortion backends to give the use some sense of legitimacy. The whole idea is out of control. You can get coffee, chocolate, and other products emblazoned with “Terrior”. All the use does is further alienate and intimidate the average customer and it’s these kinds of shenanigans that have to stop. Yes, Terroir is S_oil, C_limate, A_spect, M_ystique. IMHO! Oh BTW loved Flawless!

1. Great premise, terribly boring - I love popsci books, but this one is written so densely I have never managed to make it through. And by dense, I mean dry, boring, and repetitive. An author can't scare me off with piles of jargon or labyrinthine sentences. If I read it before bed - when I typically read - it does a great job putting me to sleep. In short: not worth it.

1. Difficult read! - If you want to read a good book about the relationship between war and food I suggest “The Taste of War” by Lizzie Collingham. I found it hard to get through large parts of this book due to the author’s eye-rolling, headache inducing attempts at humor. It’s also irritating that she makes every person in a hypothetical situation a female, to include the US military, which is only around percent female currently and much less during the time periods she references. I wish she could have just presented the information, as Collingham did. It’s interesting enough on its own to anyone who would be interested in a book such as this. There was no need to put all the nonsense in it.

2. Combat-Ready Kitchen - Being a military logistician whose job involves, among many other things, providing combat rations, I was very eager to read Combat-Ready Kitchen. Unfortunately, it was not as good as I had hoped. The book was very well researched, and author Anastacia Marx de Salcedo, did a great job coving the history of the U.S. Military’s combat feeding program as well as linking how military combat feeding sponsored research and development has influenced and permeated the modern commercial food industry. However, the well meaning very detailed scientific descriptions of the advances in various food technologies were at times too much, distracting, and hard to follow. I also felt the information in the book could have been presented in a more logical manner. To me, at times the author skipped from one subject to the next in a way that was confusing and disjointed. That aside, there were very good things about Combat-Ready Kitchen. For me, the most interesting parts of the book were those that described the history and evolution of combat rations. However, the most important takeaway of the book is the highlighting of the fact that, good or bad, military funded research is an important driver of commercial innovation and technological advancement. That fact should be kept in mind whenever cuts to military R&D budgets are being considered. (ebook)
