Over the last decade there has been an intense and widespread
interest in the writing and publishing of cookery books; yet there
remains surprisingly little contextualized analysis of the recipe
as a generic form. This essay collection asserts that the recipe in
all its cultural and textual contexts - from the quintessential
embodiment of lifestyle choices to the reflection of artistic
aspiration - is a complex, distinct and important form of cultural
expression. In this volume, contributors address questions raised
by the recipe, its context, its cultural moment and mode of
expression. Examples are drawn from such diverse areas as:
nineteenth and twentieth-century private publications, official
government documents, campaigning literature, magazines, and
fictions as well as cookery writers themselves, cookbooks and TV
cookery. In subjecting the recipe to close critical analysis, The
Recipe Reader serves to move the study of this cultural form
forward. It will interest scholars of literature, popular culture,
social history and women's studies as well as food historians and
professional food writers. Written in an accessible style, this
collection of essays expands the range of writers under
consideration, and brings new perspectives, contexts and arguments
into the existing field of debate about cookery writing.
