Trade Review
"Robert Appelbaum explores, chapter by chapter, the different ways in which early modern authors write about food....[He] persuades us to ask searching questions about brief culinary asides in 16th-century literature and to recognise the false clues by which some commentators have been misled....Readers learn almost as much about early modern food as about the literature that digests it." (Times Higher Education Supplement)"
