Accounting for Taste by Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson
Not a history of French cuisine, 'Accounting for Taste' focuses instead on the people, places and institutions that have made this cuisine what it is today: a privileged vehicle for national identity, a model of cultural ascendancy, and a pivotal site where practice and performance intersect.
"Today more than ever in the culinary world we have a curiosity for how cooking has developedFrench cuisine has been nurturing chefs and diners alike since its emergence. Priscilla Ferguson sensibly captures the essence of French cuisine by following the steps of its evolution as one of the most influential cultures in the world. Accounting for Taste is truly a remarkable contribution to gastronomical literature." - Chef Charlie Trotter"
