Book description
A deliciously fascinating, expertly written global tour of cooking, eating and drinking, told through objects in the collections of the British Museum.Our insatiable appetite for creativity in the kitchen - or around the open fire - is reflected in the fascinating array of objects explored in this book. Authored by food writer Jenny Linford in consultation with curators from the British Museum, Repast focuses on artefacts in the museum's collections - from ancient clay cooking vessels to exquisite gold goblets - spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Australasia, from prehistory to the present day. Arranged into thirteen broad themes such as Hunting, Alcohol, Religion, Feasting and Eating Out, with lavish plates accompanying absorbing essays on subjects including tea (the world's most consumed drink after water), pork (the world's most widely consumed meat), and wheat (the source of 20% of the world's human calorie consumption), Repast conveys the extraordinary global story of food, drink and the culinary arts.This clearly structured, beautifully illustrated book will engage and delight the growing audience interested in the history of food and drink.
