Paris has played a unique role in world gastronomy, influencing
cooks and gourmets across the world. It has served as a focal point
not only for its own cuisine, but for regional specialties from
across France. For tourists, its food remains one of the great
attractions of the city itself. Yet the history of this food
remains largely unknown. A History of the Food of Paris brings
together archaeology, historical records, memoirs, statutes,
literature, guidebooks, news items, and other sources to paint a
sweeping portrait of the city's food from the Neanderthals to
today's bistros and food trucks. The colorful history of the city's
markets, its restaurants and their predecessors, of immigrant food,
even of its various drinks appears here in all its often surprising
variety, revealing new sides of this endlessly fascinating city.
