Why do we eat what we eat? And what do our cuisines, our plates and our table rituals reveal about our identities, our imaginations and our societies?
For Pierre-Noël Denieuil, the culinary act is akin to a “palimpsest”: eating and cooking are neither trivial nor isolated acts. Every gesture at the table and in the kitchen carries within it a history, a collective memory of which we are not always aware.
The author gives new meaning to our eating and culinary practices through all the themes of our daily lives: history, sociology, religion, symbolism, dietetics and sexuality.
He sheds light on both great History and our everyday lives, weaving into his reflection his own experiences, his intimate relationship with food and the family history that accompanies it.
This book offers a new reading of the culinary act, one that is not limited to “simple physiological, nutritional or sanitary gestures”.
