Book Description
Never has there been so little need to cook. Yet Michael Symons maintains that to be truly human we need to become better cooks: practical and generous sharers of food.Fueled by James Boswell's definition of humans as cooking animals (for "no beast can cook"), Symons sets out to explore the civilizing role of cooks in history. His wanderings take us to the clay ovens of the prehistoric eastern Mediterranean and the bronze cauldrons of ancient China, to fabulous banquets in the temples and courts of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Persia, to medieval English cookshops and southeast Asian street markets, to palace kitchens, diners, and to modern fast-food eateries.Symons samples conceptions and perceptions of cooks and cooking, from Plato and Descartes to Marx and Virginia Woolf, asking why cooks, despite their vital and central role in sustaining life, have remained in the shadows, unheralded, unregarded, and underappreciated. "People think of meals as occasions where you share food," he notes. "They rarely think of cooks as sharers of food."Considering such notions as the physical and political consequences of sauce, connections between food and love, and cooking as a regulator of clock and calendar, Symons provides a spirited and diverting defense of a cook-centered view of the world.Michael Symons is the author of One Continuous Picnic: A History of Eating in Australia and The Shared Table.

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical American Cookery and Domestic Economy The present collection of Recipes has been selected and arranged with much care and a well-directed attention: they are the results of experience, and will be found, on inspection, to contain nearly, if not all, that can be esteemed essential for the production alike of a simply or a most elaborately furnished table. The necessity as well as the propriety of well regulated domestic arrangements, in the household of all classes and conditions, cannot be questioned; every income has its limit, and the mistress of the house should see that her domestic expenses do not exceed that of her husband. The young housekeeper should be acquainted with the extent of her husband's resources, and resolve with firmness to regulate her household with such prudence and economy as not to exceed them. However unromantic it may be, it is a certain fact, that the happiness of life is not a little dependent upon the stomach; so the professors of medicine teach us. As all our ailments, save fractured limbs and wounds from instruments, proceed from a disordered stomach, so very much of our domestic comfort proceeds from the arrangement and regularity of the daily meal. This is a point strongly to be considered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
