Cooking Culture
Winner of a Gourmand Food Culture Book Award 2025 - 1st place in Africa category In this open access book, Stephen Wooten offers a holistic historical ethnography of cooking and female agency in West Africa, and of the broader cultural and historical significance of women's culinary agency. Drawing on archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and extensive ethnographic research, Stephen Wooten documents and theorizes Malian women's culinary agency. He finds that their cooking not only transforms raw ingredients into cooked fare, providing essential physical nourishment, but also helps foster fundamental values, facilitate elemental family and community dynamics, and reproduce gender identities and relations. These findings shed light on the cultural productivity of cooking within a specific African context and foster a deeper appreciation for the significance of culinary dynamics more broadly. The study makes important contributions to the fields of African studies, anthropology, and "everyday studies". The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Cuisine Ni癟oise
Nice may conjure up the very essence of sophisticated chic - The Promenade des Anglais, the Hotel Negresco and the casinos - but its culinary traditions are all about simplicity, perhaps best expressed by an old Nicoise saying: 'fish are born in water and die in oil'. Ni癟oise cuisine is the food of the Mediterranean. It is not only a delight to the palate, but is known to have many health benefits. Its recipes are in tune with the natural cycle of the year using in-season fruits, herbs and vegetables, as well as plenty of fish. But the majority of the recipes are merely guides - unless you are baking - offering a relaxed flexibility with ingredients and seasonings suited to cooks of all levels of experience. The Ni癟oise pantry is stocked with the best quality extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, fresh garlic and pots of aromatic herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and basil. This, Jacques M矇decin's legendary book, first published in 1972 and now reissued for the first time in hardback offers an infectiously enthusiastic guide to the cookery of his city. As well as explaining how to make genuine salade ni癟oise (that most betrayed of Ni癟ois dishes) he lures the reader into the wonderful enticing world of tians, panisses, socca, and ganses. While not everyone will be able to dine alfresco under an olive tree, the way they do in Nice, this classic cookbook will at least allow you to recreate the city's best-loved dishes.

The Physiology of Taste; or, Transcendental Gastronomy
"The Physiology of Taste" by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, initially published in 1825, is a culinary masterpiece that delves into the history, practice, and philosophy of eating. It is recognized as beautifully written. Brillat-Savarin's unique storytelling style explores the sensual art of fine dining, which is an expression of ourselves. The book looks at the relationship between food and "the pleasures of the table"; all the pleasures associated with eating together and concludes that consuming food transcends mere sustenance-it is a form of transcendental experience available to all classes of society. Brillat-Savarin is remarkably far-ranging in making connections. His musings touch on all the senses, human nature and society, being a guest and a host, the essential constituents of food from the animal and vegetable kingdoms, being a gourmand, digestion, rest, sleep, dreams, fasting and death. Of course, there are some remarkable recipes. Perhaps most startling for the early 17th century are the two chapters on obesity-its "inconveniences," causes, and prevention. He explicitly observed that sugars and carbohydrates reduce physical performance and lead to obesity. The Physiology of Taste was hugely successful when first published in 1825 and has been in print continuously since then. It has been translated into English, German, Russian, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. The Physiology of Taste is "still the most civilized cookbook ever written" (The New Yorker). It is a unique book on all aspects of eating: wide-ranging, informative, inspiring, beautifully written, and entertaining. Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826) was a French lawyer, judge and politician. He fled France for two years and toured America, giving French and violin lessons and gathering friends and anecdotes. His was an inquiring mind with both a scientific and a philosophical bent. As a bachelor, he invested much of his time, wealth, and passion into dining, entertaining, and dwelling on these matters. The result is this masterpiece. A French cheese and a French cake bear his name.
