Reddit reviews Stirring the Pot: A History of African Cuisine (Africa in World History)

In the Shadow of Slavery: Africa’s Botanical Legacy in the Atlantic World does a great job of showing how many foods we take for granted today actually came from Africa and were connected to the slave trade in the Americas.

The Taste of Conquest: The Rise and Fall of the Three Great Cities of Spice is a book I'm reading now about the history and geography of spice and the spice trades.

For a nonacademic resource, Michael Pollan's The Botany of Desire is an excellent plants'-eye approach to four important crops. Although only two of them (apples, potatoes) are food, the approach is really engaging and thought-provoking. Pollan's more famous book, The Omnivore's Dilemma is good, but focuses primarily on corn.

Similarly non-academic but smart, Deborah Valenze's Milk: A Local and Global History presents an interesting history of milk, how colonization and different breeds of cows influenced cultures of milk, etc.
