This volume of essays, which originated in the inaugural Dublin
Gastronomy Symposium held in the Dublin Institute of Technology in
June 2012, offers fascinating insights into the significant role
played by gastronomy in Irish literature and culture. The book
opens with an exploration of food in literature, covering figures
as varied as Maria Edgeworth, James Joyce, Charles Dickens, Enid
Blyton, John McGahern and Sebastian Barry. Other chapters examine
culinary practices among the Dublin working classes in the 1950s,
offering a stark contrast to the haute cuisine served in the iconic
Jammet's Restaurant; new trends among Ireland's 'foodie'
generation; and the economic and tourism possibilities created by
the development of a gastronomic nationalism. The volume concludes
by looking at the sacramental aspects of the production and
consumption of Guinness and examining the place where it is most
often consumed: the Irish pub.
