Food and attitudes toward it were transformed in Renaissance
Europe. The period between 1300 and 1600 saw the discovery of the
New World and the cultivation of new foodstuffs, as well as the
efflorescence of culinary literature in European courts and
eventually in the popular press, and most importantly the
transformation of the economy on a global scale. Food became the
object of rigorous investigation among physicians, theologians,
agronomists and even poets and artists. Concern with eating was, in
fact, central to the cultural dynamism we now recognize as the
Renaissance. A Cultural History of Food in the Renaissance presents
an overview of the period with essays on food production, food
systems, food security, safety and crises, food and politics,
eating out, professional cooking, kitchens and service work, family
and domesticity, body and soul, representations of food, and
developments in food production and consumption globally.
