Great Opportunity-Call for Papers on Court Cooking in 19th Century Europe
Here’s a call for papers on a great topic: what happened to the food of royal courts in nineteenth century Europe. As I see it, courts had been the centers of culinary innovation for centuries. They began to fade into insignificance in the nineteenth century. But not quickly or quietly. It should be a marvelously informative volume for anyone interested in how foods change. esshc_callforauthors.pdf
As a History student (Bologna), with a great interest in food history, I was very happy to discover your blog! I will surely return to read it often. A question: are you interested in contemporary gastronomy as well (such as the Molecular Gastronomy trends, for example)?
Or
Sure. My strength is history. But history is of little use unless you can use it to throw light on contemporary issues.
I’d be very interested to know (also via email) what is your opinion on Molecular Gastronomy. Do you think it is to be a valid and lovg-living application of science in the kitchen, or just a fashion that will pass soon?
