Tastes and Traditions by Nathalie Cooke (epub & pdf)

A delectable and beautifully illustrated exploration of the deep meaning of the menu across time—at and beyond the table.

Menus are invaluable snapshots of the food consumed at specific moments in time and place. Tastes and Traditions: A Journey through Menu History provides glimpses into the meals enjoyed by royalty and rogues, those celebrating special occasions, or sampling new culinary sensations throughout history. It describes food prepared for the gods, meals served during sieges, and tablescapes immortalized in art. It explores how menus entertain adults, link food with play for children, reflect changing notions of health, and highlight the enduring human need to make meals meaningful. Lavishly illustrated, this book offers an engaging exploration of why menus matter and the stories they tell, appealing to food lovers and general readers, as well as professionals in the food industry.

Another "Other" genre bender. I was reminded of all the opportunities to chronicle the sights of my youth and the prices: 15c Hardee's hamburgers, 25c per gallon gasoline, etc. And we are about to experience another leap in inflation. Check out these prices from less than a century ago...

Anyway enjoy and maybe it will be fun to photography the mundane.
