Description

Discover the deep roots of Mediterranean culinary traditions with Siren Feasts: A History of Food and Gastronomy in Greece. Published by Routledge, this work offers the first serious social history of Greek food, tracing its evolution from the Neolithic age to the classical era and beyond. Explore how foundational ingredients like cheese, wine, honey, and olive oil have shaped Greek culture for over four thousand years. The book examines archaeological evidence, such as honeycombs and cheese remains found beneath the volcanic ash of the Santorini eruption, to reconstruct ancient eating habits. As Greek food absorbed neighboring traditions over the millennia, it maintained a distinctive character. Andrew Dalby provides a detailed look at this transformation, beginning with the tunny fishers of the Neolithic period and following the development of the Greek culinary repertoire. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the social history of food and the origins of Greek gastronomy.
