Food is a marker of identity, culture, and class, and it denotes
power, routine, leisure, and celebration. Despite its importance to
every aspect of historical research, this topic has not been
sufficiently explored in Ottoman history. This volume places the
study of food in the mainstream of Ottoman history by analyzing
major issues - origins, identity, minorities, Ottomanization, the
'golden age', foreign relations, the nature of modernity - all from
the perspective of food. Each chapter relies on elements such as
food, foodstuffs, recipes, eating habits, utensils, and vessels as
the starting point to explain an aspect of Ottoman history, thus
showing how the study of food contributes to the study of the
Ottoman Empire in general.
