Rather than treating food simply as nourishment, the book considers the preparation and enjoyment of meals as an art shaped by taste, tradition and imagination. Drawing on historical and literary examples, it reflects on cookery, dining customs, ingredients and the pleasures associated with the table. The result is an engaging celebration of gastronomy and the long relationship between food, culture and civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216398631251,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421107863891,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-fine-art-of-food-folio-society-280","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
