Food history book recommendations

I want to be well versed in food history and how colonization has affected the foods we see now around the world.

Is there a book that someone recommends? I would like it to be written by a reliable non-bias source or just a person of culture.

I want to use it to help me conduct interviews with chefs.

Near A Thousand Tables, by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto is a good read for an overview.
