Cooking and Eating in Renaissance Italy : From Kitchen to Table Hardback
by Katherine A. McIver
Part of the Rowman & Littlefield Studies in Food and Gastronomy series
Hardback
Description
Renaissance Italy’s art, literature, and culture continue to fascinate.
The domestic life has been examined more in recent years, and this book reveals the preparation, eating, and the sociability of dining in Renaissance Italy.
It takes readers behind the scenes to the Renaissance kitchen and dining room, where everyday meals as well as lavish banquets were prepared and consumed.
Katherine McIver considers the design, equipment, and location of the kitchen and food prep and storage rooms in both middle-class homes and grand country estates.
The diner’s room, the orchestration of dining, and the theatrical experience of dining are detailed as well, all in the context of the renowned food and architectural scholars of the day.
