The Renaissance and the age of discovery introduced Europeans to exotic cultures, mores, manners, and ideas. Along with the cross-cultural exchange of Old and New World, East and West, came new foodstuffs, preparations, and flavors. That kitchen revolution led to the development of new utensils and table manners. Some of the impact is still felt-and tasted-today.Giovanni Rebora has crafted an elegant and accessible history filled with fascinating information and illustrations. He discusses the availability of resources, how people kept from starving in the winter, how they farmed, how tastes developed and changed, what the lower classes ate, and what the aristocracy enjoyed. The book is divided into brief chapters covering the history of bread, soups, stuffed pastas, the use of salt, cheese, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, the arrival of butter, the quest for sugar, new world foods, setting the table, and beverages, including wine and tea. A special appendix, "A Meal with Columbus," includes a mini-anthology of recipes from the countries where he lived: Italy, Portugal, Spain, and England.Entertaining and enlightening, Culture of the Fork will interest scholars of history and gastronomy-and everyone who eats. 410 0$aArts and traditions of the table. 606 $aGastronomy 606 $aFood habits$zEurope 606 $aCooking, European 606 $aFood$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGastronomy. 615 0$aFood habits 615 0$aCooking, European. 615 0$aFood$xHistory. 676 $a394.1/094 700 $aRebora$b Giovanni$0140230 701 $aSonnenfeld$b Albert$0458743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454511103321 996 $aCulture of the fork$92482806 997 $aUNINA
