Renowned food scholar Carole Counihan serves up a delicious
narrative about family and food in twentieth-century Florence. By
looking at how family, and especially gender relations, have
changed in Florence since the ending of World War II and continuing
on to an examination of current food practices today, "Around the
Tuscan Table" offers a portrait of the changing nature of modern
life as exemplified through food. How food is produced,
distributed, and consumed speaks volumes about a given culture, and
this compelling and artfully narrated book aims to preserve,
propagate, and interpret Florentines' world-renowned cuisine and
culture.
At the market, in the kitchen, and around the table, Counihan gives
readers a taste of everyday life in this region of Italy: how
eating together unites the family; how the production of food is
gendered; how food is a key tool of socialization, and how culture
forms aesthetic tastes.
With more than 20 illustrations and age-old family recipes, this is
a treat for the senses and the intellect.
