The King's peas: delectable recipes and their stories from the age of the Enlightenment

By

Abstract

"Written by Meredith Chilton with contributions from Chef Markus Bestig "The King's Peas" examines how food and dining were transformed in Europe during the age of the Enlightenment. What many of us now eat, the way food is cooked and how we dine were the result of radical changes that occurred in France from 1650 until the French Revolution in 1789. Over thirty recipes of the period from France and England presented in this publication offer readers a taste of the past. Amusing stories and snippets of history outline the cultural milieu of the time, all richly illustrated to stimulate the imagination with objects from the exhibition: paintings, books, silver, glass and ceramics, and even knitted art."--
