Some of the world’s most adventurous food historians contribute to this thrice-yearly journal of articles and excerpts from works in progress. The emphasis is on plain writing rather than jargon. In these early issues you are able to see food studies begin to establish itself as a discipline as the tenor of reviews evolve, and calls for contributors and conferences proliferate. Among the articles in this issue from March 1987:
A Cookery-book and its Context: Elizabethan Cookery and Lady Fettiplace - C. Anne Wilson
Food and Drink of the Mountain Men - Sam Arnold
Diego Granado Maldonado - Jeanne Allard
Food Fiction and Food Fact in Homer’s Iliad - Elizabeth Minchin
On Swans, Cranes, and Herons: Part 2 - Cranes, Joop Witteveen
Desinit in Piscem, or It All Ended in a Fish Tail - Ninette Lyon
As always, there are book reviews as well.
Paperback.
