Reviews
"It is difficult to write about the history of food in a way that interests both gourmets and historians, but Susan Pinkard rises to the challenge. Her vivid descriptions, menus and recipes are combined with a perceptive and persuasive account of the rise of French cuisine, firmly placed in its cultural context." -Peter Burke, University of Cambridge, "The 'radically different turn' (pg. 3) that she sees culinary sensibility taking in the seventeenth century which produced modern French cooking can only be understood against the non-modern practices that preceded it as well as those, presumably modern, that followed." -Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson, Gastronomica, "Factual, well-researched, and informative, this book is a fascinating survey of French cuisine during the Enlightenment. Brilliantly narrated and thoroughly documented, it is a must for the culinary historian as well as the cook." -Jacques Pépin, chef, cookbook author, and host of PBS-TV cooking series, "Susan Pinkard has crafted an engaging narrative of change and revolution in France, not only in food, but also in social, cultural, philosophical, and scientific matters, and her description of early modern French cuisine reminds us that our modern ideas about food are not so new after all." -Sarah Kernan, eHistory, "Susan Pinkard surveys changing ideas of artifice, naturalness, wholesomeness, and taste in the rise of one of the world's great cuisines. A Revolution in Taste is as lively as it is learned." -Steven Shapin, Harvard University, 'Pinkard performs careful analytical work with culinary texts familiar to many food historians …' The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, "For historians and food lovers interested in discovering the origins of modern French cuisine, this volume is a delight. Pinkard writes evocatively about developments in early modern Parisian cooking in a way that satisfies all the senses." -Sara Beam, Canadian Journal of History, "...this book is a valuable contribution to European food history." -Stephen Mennell, Amercian Historical Review, "Pinkard performs careful analytical work with culinary texts familiar to many food historians, offering critical readings and counter-evidence (particularly about the nature of kitchen work) to demonstrate how social practices and cultural beliefs influenced changes in taste." Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Sydney Watts, University of Richmond, "Factual, well-researched, and informative, this book is a fascinating survey of French cuisine during the Enlightenment. Brilliantly narrated and thoroughly documented, it is a must for the culinary historian as well as the cook." -Jacques P_pin, chef, cookbook author, and host of PBS-TV cooking series

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
