Hidden beneath the humour is a serious idea, for above all Barnes reminds us that the right word matters, that food writing is writing.

New Century Cook Book by Newill Phyllis Krafft

I baked my way through his blueberry muffins, marmalade macaroons, lamingtons and, best of all, his many breads. It not only improved my baking but it gave me insight into great, consistent recipe writing. In The Handmade Loaf, Dan gathers together the knowledge he acquired travelling, tasting and photographing his way through northern Europe. He takes the handfuls and pinches and turns them into weights and measures to create recipes that are easy to follow.

His descriptions of the countries and their bread offerings are warm, personal and inviting. In the Diaries trilogy, he managed to craft just short of 1, pages of autobiographical food writing without revealing any juicy detail about his actual life. He writes cookbooks that are as good to read in the bed or the bathtub as they are to cook from. In a time of bouncy TV chefs and slick styling, these eccentricities have stood him apart from the crowd.

Cheap subsidised corn becomes the feed for pigs and chickens and the syrup in sugary sodas, as well as the corn in corn flakes. This book changed the way many people navigate a food shop. Some food writers do polemic, exposing the horrors of the industrial food supply. Others can write food as poetry, bringing alive the beauty in a chanterelle mushroom or the pleasure of chopping an onion.

Michael Pollan is that rare writer who can do both. True to the patchwork nature of Italy, which is really many countries in one, it covers all the regions and includes just about all the classics, from Milanese risotto with saffron to Sicilian sweet and sour pasta with sardines. Fergus Henderson writes with a near indecent enthusiasm, easy erudition and the voice of a Regency wit. The gentle, reasoned philosophy of honouring any animal you kill by consuming it all became one of the tenets of modern cooking. Where one might have imagined him espousing sybaritic excess he actually wrote of intimate and warm conviviality.

I know that sounds contrived, but I worked under David Tanis at Chez Panisse for three years and he actually was my chef. This book helps the home cook compose a meal from start to finish, but without having to hire a kitchen porter or run out of time to take a shower before your guests arrive. The recipes are straightforward, and yes, sometimes about the simple transformation of a fig that comes first from the tree, then to the market, is then perhaps warmed to bring out its essence and is finally placed on your specially chosen vessel.

I follow the recipe to the letter; perfect every time, and even though the recipe is stated to feed four I could easily demolish the whole amount myself. Paula Wolfert first went to Morocco in , as a young American traveller. When she returned home, she decided to share her love in the form of a cookbook: Couscous and Other Good Food from Morocco was published to great acclaim in Then, in , Wolfert published a new, expanded edition, The Food of Morocco , with many new recipes and photographs.

In between the two, the culinary scene had changed and once hard-to-come-by ingredients had become easily available; and where once she had to adapt her detailed yet accessible recipes, there was no need for her to worry this time, making the book even more of a bible for food lovers wishing to expand their repertoire into Moroccan cooking. Chef Gabrielle Hamilton built a menu based on no particular cuisine, although influenced by stints working in Brittany and Turkey, of things that were a joy to eat.

Sometimes, this targeting was made explicit, as was the case with Plain Cookery for the Working Classes , published in England in In time, as new ideas formed about equality, democracy, and social stratification, presenting certain books as best suited for rich or for poor was no longer considered effective marketing, but culinary literature nonetheless has borne class markers for as long as it has existed.

When printing technology granted them the ability to reach a broader audience, they began putting out cookbooks with gentlemen and their housewives in mind, not just kings and princes. They were ladies or gentlewomen of the landed gentry who had great responsibilities at their estate, where they directed not only cooking, brewing, and baking, but the production of butter and cheese, the preservation of wines, the dyeing of textiles, and the management of medicines for the whole household, servants included.

But during the 18th century, publishers set their sights on the urban bourgeoisie, as the richer segments of the emerging middle classes had ambitions to imitate the lifestyle of the elite. Publishers printed special works to satisfy these aspirations. In Germany and England many of the books were written by women, who better than men saw what was needed in households with fewer servants, and also had a grasp of the subject that made it possible to simplify the dishes with less expensive ingredients, but at the same time gave a more detailed and understandable description of the preparation.

They also knew that the broader public was not sufficiently literate to enjoy their books, and probably did not have room in their budgets for the purchase of elegant published works. Meanwhile, a clear line also had to be drawn between the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy. This was particularly evident in chapters about game, which was an ingredient that many royals and aristocrats hunted. Game receives very different treatments in two different books by the prolific 18th-century French author Menon.

The difficulty for readers of the latter book to obtain such a high-class ingredient led early on to experiments and the development of ersatz dishes; meat from domestic animals was prepared in ways that made it look and taste like game. Some recipes even recommended that cooks use coal to darken the bristle of a pig, in order to make it look as if it came from a wild boar. In the European middle classes of the 19th century, popular recipes recommended rolling up slices of veal and seasoning them like birds.

During the 19th century, literacy rates shot up, particularly in Northern and Western Europe and the United States, where larger sections of the population gradually reached an income level at which better food was affordable. This created new opportunities for the book industry, and some publishers responded differently than others. One thing was the price: Some of the most elegant works, bound in calf, cost 20 to 30 times as much as small booklets.
