DESCRIPTIONSavoring the Past by Barbara Ketcham Wheaton (Hardcover 1996)CONDITION: NEW Wheaton's heavily researched, erudite study examines nearly 500 years of French culinary history. Fortunately, the book's animated writing yields a text both entertaining and instructive. Medieval associations between medicinal lore and cookery ingredients are presented in intriguing detail. Wheaton also traces the beginning of France's haute cuisine tradition with the increased publication--in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries--of recipes by outstanding cooks, which were, duly noted by the author, a compelling "inducement to literacy." First issued 15 years ago, Wheaton's inquiry is meticulously descriptive of a culture as presented through the evolving beliefs and tastes associated with the preparation and consumption of food. A final recipe portfolio, though imbued with the doctrines of an era long past, remains relevant with its savory offerings. --Alice JoyceHardcover: 368 pages Publisher: Touchstone Books; Reprint edition (April 1996) Language: English ISBN-10: 0684815664 ISBN-13: 978-0684815664 SHOPPING AT WILSON & CIE ON EBAY GO GREEN WITH WILSON & CIE Consumers can decrease the Carbon Footprint on the environment by shopping online with Wilson & Cie.
