They are glorious dispatches, seasoned in equal measure with both enthusiasm and bile, from decades at the very frontline of eating. Italy is experiencing a surge of gastronomic nostalgia, a yearning to recreate and relive the delectable rustic meals of yesteryear, of brimming chalices of wine and sauce-laden pasta. A return to the simple abundance of Italy’s past! Ah, if only it were true. If there was a glorious yesteryear of Italian feasting, it was enjoyed only by society’s elite.
As for standard, rustic fare, such meals bore little resemblance to what is now considered-even in Italy-traditional Italian food.
Determined to uncover the true roots of Italian cuisine and reveal its intriguing yet uncelebrated past, food historian Karima Moyer-Nocchi interviewed Italian “ninetysomething” women from various walks of life, from charcoal-makers to countesses.
Her travels spanned from the far north to the deep south, as well as Italy’s former landholdings. All of the interviewees had lived through the harrowing years called the Ventennio fascista, the twenty-year reign of fascism in Italy, and were eager to have their final say. What follows are eighteen remarkable oral narratives, each building upon the last to create a mosaic of Italian foodways, from the fascist era through to the post World War II boom, the “Dolce Vita.
The narratives are separated by astringent, yet entertaining essay briefs, illuminating various aspects of gastronomic history and daily life in fascist Italy.
Engrossingly entertaining, “Chewing the Fat” gently debunks the myths of Italy’s gastronomic nostalgia industry, revealing a culture of food that is surprisingly different from the image most people have of Italian cuisine. This book lays bare the multiple dimensions of Italian gastronomy: geography, politics, social background, education and economics.
It is an eloquent dissection of the nuances of the world’s favorite cooking as well as a magical exercise in memory. A brilliant reconstruction of the kitchens and cookery and much else besides of a previous generation.
The Eternal Table is the first concise cultural history of food in Rome from the pre-Romans to modern day. This historical narrative revisits the rich story of Rome through a culinary lens recounting the human partnership with what was raised, picked, fished, caught, slaughtered, cooked, and served, from farm and market to banquets and festivals.
Abraham Lincoln in the Kitchen is a culinary biography unlike any before. The very assertion of the title–that Abraham Lincoln cooked–is fascinating and true. It’s an insight into the everyday life of one of our nation’s favorite and most esteemed presidents and a way to experience flavors and textures of the past. Eighmey solves riddles such as what type of barbecue could be served to thousands at political rallies when paper plates and napkins didn’t exist, and what gingerbread recipe could have been Lincoln’s childhood favorite when few families owned cookie cutters and he could carry the cookies in his pocket.
Through Eighmey’s eyes and culinary research and experiments–including sleuthing for Lincoln’s grocery bills in Springfield ledgers and turning a backyard grill into a cast-iron stove–the foods that Lincoln enjoyed, cooked, or served are translated into modern recipes so that authentic meals and foods of are possible for home cooks.
Feel free to pull up a chair to Lincoln’s table. A biochemist shows how we can finally control our fat—by understanding how it works. Fat is not just excess weight, but actually a dynamic, smart, and self-sustaining organ that influences everything from aging and immunity to mood and fertility. Sylvia Tara reveals the surprising science behind our most misunderstood body part and its incredible ability to defend itself.
Exploring the unexpected ways viruses, hormones, sleep, and genetics impact fat, Tara uncovers the true secret to losing weight: working with your fat, not against it.

For more information, please visit sustainablefood. What makes cultured meat imaginable? Something about food engraves itself in our memories. It appeals to our physical senses in taste and smell, and cooking can quickly become part of muscle memory. Banh mi, the Vietnamese sandwich, has become a widely beloved dish. With its unique combination of flavors—crunchy bread, sour pickled carrots, fresh cucumbers, savory cold cuts, among other things—banh mi has captured the imagination of people, even at non-Vietnamese establishments.
How did this happen? These terms have become more and more popular in a culinary world now obsessed with sustainable eating. But what if these ideas are hardly new? What if they have deep cultural roots around the world that often go underacknowledged or underappreciated? In the early s, eating local was believed to be transformative for our food systems. Those changes may not have come true, but what happens when we revisit local food today—this time, emphasizing equity, coalition-building, and approaches specific to place?
