The Foodie's Guide to Antiques & Collectables, An Expert Guide to Buying Antique Kitchenalia Like a Professional

If you eat food for pleasure as well as sustenance, then guess what? You're a Foodie.

Are you a food lover who enjoys using vintage kitchen items? Then this book is for you!


With an Anthropologist guiding you, you'll learn all about the social histories and collectables for some of your favourite foods, including:


  • The weird history of beer, from ancient civilizations to witchcraft to the 11th Commandment.


  • The many uses for butter throughout history, from cooking to plastering it all over your face.


  • The world's love of champagne, including its health-giving properties - yay, that bit's true!


  • The evolution of cheese production, including varieties you probably wouldn't eat even on a double-dare.


  • The rich history of chocolate, from the privileged few to a world-wide treat, and how it might run out soon.


  • The fascinating history of coffee, from bouncing goats to fostering sedition and why it's so popular today.


  • The sweet history of honey, from a royal fly deterrent to its use in biological warfare, and its amazing health benefits.


  • The creamy history of ice cream, from whale poop to much-loved indulgence, including varieties that will create a nuclear holocaust in your mouth (and your bottom) to practically any flavour you can imagine.


  • The tropical history of pineapples, including their use as indicators of social status and their role as the world's first rent-a-food.


  • The versatile history of tomatoes, including their use as aphrodisiacs to their potential as Martian crops.


But that's far from all. Drawing on my 35+ years as a professional Antiques Dealer and International Buyer, The Foodie's Guide to Antiques & Collectables will also teach you how to buy antique kitchenalia like a professional. In each chapter, you'll learn about how to buy the antique and vintage pieces associated with each featured food, including:
  • What are good antique or vintage pieces and what to avoid


  • How to tell that you're getting the real deal


  • The price ranges you should consider


Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about the social histories and antiques associated with some of the world's favourite foods, and learn from an expert how you can buy antique kitchenalia like a professional.
