Description

Cuisine and Culture traces how major historical events shaped the culinary traditions of societies worldwide. This third edition explores the multicultural and multiethnic dimensions of food history, from prehistoric societies to contemporary issues like genetically modified foods and celebrity chef culture. Author Linda Civitello combines witty, engaging narrative with scholarly depth to reveal the fascinating connections between history and diet. Rather than adopting a purely academic approach, Civitello demonstrates how food has both reflected and influenced the course of human civilisation. Readers discover why different cultures developed distinct culinary practices and how historical forces transformed what people eat across generations. This comprehensive history appeals to food enthusiasts, history students, and anyone curious about how our meals connect to the broader human story.

Civitello's approach combines humorous storytelling with academic rigour, making complex food history accessible to general readers.

The book examines how civilisation-shaping events directly influenced the development and preservation of regional culinary traditions.
