The Nobel Banquets is not about Alfred Nobel's personal dining
habits; it is about his "gift to mankind" - the five original Nobel
Prizes and the festivities that are arranged every year to
celebrate them. There is hardly any other banquet in the world that
is as famous as the Nobel Banquet which many would give a fortune
to attend. It is held on December 10 in Stockholm every year.
Countless articles and books have been written describing what the
guests eat and drink, the table decorations and the serving
ceremonies, the placing lists and of course the Nobel laureates
themselves. This comprehensive book presents not only all the known
facts about the Nobel banquet menus but also many unknown details,
both about the Nobel banquets themselves and about the traditional
banquets held at the Royal Court by the King and Queen of Sweden on
December 11 in honour of the laureates. The main focus is on the
food and drink that have been served annually for more than a
century. The gastronomic man is at the centre. The composition and
contents of each banquet are listed and analysed. Today, the
guiding principle is that the menus should have a touch of
Scandinavia. The reader is given interesting insights into the work
in the kitchens, the decanting of the wines and the special
challenges that the waiters and waitresses face. The Nobel Banquets
contains many photographs. It is a goldmine for gourmets and for
anyone interested in knowing more about all the effort that goes
into these fabulous festivities.
