This book investigates the reasons for and background to these differences, specifically in Provence. In the absence of cookbooks for the region in the 18th century, it uses innovative methodologies relying on a range of hitherto unexplored primary resources, ranging from household accounts and manuscript recipes to local newspapers and gardening manuals that focus on the actuality of the 18th century Proven軋l table. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe sources emphasise the essentially seasonal and local nature of eating in Provence at this time. In many ways eating habits echoed generalised French patterns, according to class, but at the same time the use of particular foods and culinary practices testified to a distinctive Proven軋l food culture, partly related to geographic and climatic differences but also to cultural influences. This food culture represented the foundation for the Proven軋l cuisine which was recognised and codified in the early 19th century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom a diverse archive of documents has emerged new evidence for the cultivation and consumption of potatoes and tomatoes in Provence and for the origins and evolution of emblematic dishes such as bourride, bouillabaisse and brandade. In linking the coming-of-age of Proven軋l cuisine to post-Revolutionary culture, in particular the success of restaurants and the flourishing of gastronomic discourse, this book offers a new understanding of the development and evolution of regional cuisines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barbara Santich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350329940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350329942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Barbara Santich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072659747071,"sku":"9781350329942","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_350aafdb-1354-4509-9b9a-dad0243a7973.jpg?v=1685443264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beginnings-of-provenal-cuisine-barbara-santich-9781350329942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
