Summary:"This book elevates the senses to a central role in the study of food history because the traditional focus upon food types, quantities, and nutritional values is incomplete without some recognition of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste. Every day and at every meal the senses of smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste are engaged in the acts of preparation and consumption.

Putting all of the senses on the agenda of food history for the first time, this book is for scholars of food history, food studies and food culture, as well as social and cultural historians"--
