Easily one of the best books on Walt Disney I have ever read. At first glance, the concept seemed odd to me. A historical biography about Walt Disney but through the lens of food... strange. But as I began to read, it was very evident that the author had did her research and it became very clear as well that Walt’s life, his daily ritual, how he communicated with people, and his imagination were all connected to food in one way or another. The photographs in this book I feel are one of the most intriguing part of the book, with my favorite being a copy of Walt’s favorite dinners to eat at home hand written by Walt himself.

If you’re a Disney fan, I highly recommend this book.

Loved seeing all the old photos of Disneyland!!! Food is one of my favorite parts of going to Disney (although I’ll admit- WDW got the better end of the food stick!).

Great book, full of lots of new information and photographs I had never before seen. Great insights and well-written. Very engaging. 
Things I didn't like were that not all the photographs/artworks were annotated and (I suppose to keep relevant long in to the future) it didn't really discuss what the restaurants have become/are nowadays. Whilst I also realise the book is "Eat like Walt" and focusing on what Walt would have had/experienced a little insight in to the cuisine/restaurants nowadays would have been nice.
