Series Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary History
Arts and traditions of the table.
Note Includes index.
Summary Focusing on the selection, preparation, and mythology of food, Montanari shows that cooking not only is a decisive part of our cultural heritage but also communicates essential information about our material and intellectual well-being. From the invention of basic bread making to chocolate's reputation for decadence, he positions food culture as a lens through which we can plot changes in historical values and social and economic trends.
Contents Things and ideas -- The status of food -- Adventures in cooking -- The gastronomy of hunger -- Flavors -- Pleasure and health -- The beautiful and the good -- Convivial rituals -- Table practices and manners -- "Identity" declined in the plural.
