First Bite by Bee Wilson

How We Learn to Eat

An exploration of how taste is learned, not innate, tracing the development of eating habits from early childhood to adulthood through neuroscience, psychology, and cultural history. It examines picky eating, sweetness, texture, and the influence of family, marketing, and environment, while sharing case studies that show habits can be reshaped. Ultimately, it offers practical, compassionate guidance for retraining palates and building healthier, more joyful relationships with food.
