Publishers Text

This cookbook series, especially tailored to high school students in format and content, offers a wealth of fresh recipes to complement the most-studied historical periods. Each title includes a brief introduction to the period and then an overview of the type of foodstuffs, cuisine, and style of eating found in short bulleted list and then narrative form. Organization then is by course, typical meal, or food group. Each recipe is introduced and placed in its proper social context. Some recipes are included merely for historical interest. Food trivia are occasionally highlighted in between recipes. Each volume also includes an introduction, glossary, bibliography, appendices of recipes, index, and illustrations. Students will be able to closely follow European history through the recipes written and food eaten during the great age of revolution and expansion. From the reign of Louis XIV to that of Queen Victoria, the diverse fares of French and English citizens of all classes can be replicated.
