From the prehistoric era to the present, food culture has helped to
define civilizations. This reference surveys food culture and
cooking from antiquity to the modern era, providing background
information along with menus and recipes. Food culture has been
central to world civilizations since prehistory. While early
societies were limited in terms of their resources and cooking
technology, methods of food preparation have flourished throughout
history, with food central to social gatherings, celebrations,
religious functions, and other aspects of daily life. This book
surveys the history of cooking from the ancient world through the
modern era. The first volume looks at the history of cooking from
antiquity through the Early Modern era, while the second focuses on
the modern world. Each volume includes a chronology, historical
introduction, and topical chapters on foodstuffs, food preparation,
eating habits, and other subjects. Sections on particular
civilizations follow, with each section offering a historical
overview, recipes, menus, primary source documents, and suggestions
for further reading. The work closes with a selected, general
bibliography of resources suitable for student research. Timelines
help users identify key events related to the history of cooking
Topical essays cover important subjects across cultures Sections on
particular civilizations, regions, and countries provide historical
coverage of cooking methods and food culture Recipes, sample menus,
and other documents give readers important information about
cooking methods and food history within particular societies
