| Description: |
The essays in this volume approach their subject from a variety of angles: from the reality of starvation and the reliance on "fast food" of those without cooking facilities, to the consumption of an English lady's household and the career of a cook in the French royal household. |
| Synopsis: |
Eating and drinking are essential to life and therefore of great interest to the historian. As well as having a real fascination in their own right, both activities are an integral part of the both social and economic history. Yet food and drink, especially in the middle ages, have received less than their proper share of attention. The essays in this volume approach their subject from a variety of angles: from the reality of starvation and the reliance on 'fast food' of those without cooking facilities, to the consumption of an English lady's household and the career of a cook in the French royal household. |
