"A History of Cookbooks provides a literary and historical overview of the cookbook genre, exploring its development as an important part of food culture beginning in the Late Middle Ages. Studying cookbooks from various Western cultures and languages, Henry Notaker traces the transformation of recipes from brief notes with ingredients into detailed recipes with a specific structure, grammar, and vocabulary. In addition, he reveals that cookbooks go far beyond offering recipes: they tell us a great deal about nutrition, morals, manners, history, and menus while often providing entertaining reflections and commentaries. This innovative book demonstrates that cookbooks represent an interesting and important branch of nonfiction literature."--Provided by publisher. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I was a little irritated that it only covered European cookery books; however, given the density of information this would be a mighty tomb if it attempted to detail global cooking literature across seven centuries. The most interesting/easy to digest chapters are in the third section where the role of cookbooks in society as teaching method, art, gender role enforcement is discussed, but reading the first and second parts really give you a sense of how much goes into putting together a cookbook, much less books in general. I'm tickled to know there are researchers that examine the tenses and usage of nouns across time- always an expert for something! (
