Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the perplexing yet enduring mystery of French cooking, seeking to understand why it has failed to garner the universal adoption its reputation might suggest. The author argues that French cookery, born in an era of extravagance, is impractical and needlessly complex, making it inaccessible to most people and hence, unsuited for adoption as a national cuisine. From its origins in the kitchens of ancient Roman and French royalty to its 19th-century presence in the grand dining halls of America, the author traces French cookery's evolution through the lens of cultural and economic shifts. Through fascinating historical anecdotes and culinary insights, the book uncovers the reasons behind French cookery's shortcomings and extols the virtues of simpler, more practical culinary systems that cater to the tastes of everyday people. This book is a fascinating exploration of the cultural and practical forces that shape our culinary traditions and a timely reminder that good food should be accessible to all.
