Excellent cooking-history,
By KINDAHL ANETTE (Norrkoping Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Dining: A History of Cooking and Eating (Paperback)
However, being a professional, I am a museum curator at a historical museum, I find this book both informative and inspiering and it's been truly helpful in my creating of both exhibitions and lectures at the museum but I'm sure this book with it's many beautiful illustrations and exciting recepies will be a hit for any person interested in cooking/food history!

good history, beautiful book,
By Silver Button "alan breck" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art of Dining: A History of Cooking & Eating (Hardcover)
My personal interest in reading this book was the Elizabethan period; but the book pulls one into all its eras with descriptive, memorable writing and beautiful layout -- paintings, photos, and drawings that explain and enliven its words. I'm not sure I would recommend it as a cookbook (the book is huge, like a heavy coffee table book, and there aren't many recipes); but there are recipes to try if the cooking descriptions get your mouth watering. A great book that's worth buying.
