Medieval Tastes. Food, Cooking, and the Table

Description

In this new history of food, the text traces the development of medieval tastes—both culinary and cultural—from raw materials to market and captures their reflections in today's food trends. Tying the ingredients of our diet evolution to the growth of human civilization, it immerses readers in the passionate debates and bold inventions that transformed food from a simple staple to a potent factor in health and a symbol of social and ideological standing. 10.7312_mont16786-fm.pdf (p.1-4) 10.7312_mont16786-toc.pdf (p.5-8) mont16786-intro.pdf (p.9-14) mont16786-001.pdf (p.15-24) mont16786-002.pdf (p.25-32) mont16786-003.pdf (p.33-48) mont16786-004.pdf (p.49-61) mont16786-005.pdf (p.62-69) mont16786-006.pdf (p.70-79) mont16786-007.pdf (p.80-86) mont16786-008.pdf (p.87-96) mont16786-009.pdf (p.97-114) mont16786-010.pdf (p.115-124) mont16786-011.pdf (p.125-137) mont16786-012.pdf (p.138-156) mont16786-013.pdf (p.157-165) mont16786-014.pdf (p.166-179) mont16786-015.pdf (p.180-184) mont16786-016.pdf (p.185-200) mont16786-017.pdf (p.201-206) mont16786-018.pdf (p.207-218) mont16786-019.pdf (p.219-252) mont16786-020.pdf (p.253-264) mont16786-021.pdf (p.265-276) mont16786-bm.pdf (p.277-278)
