The Culture of Food
by Massimo Montanari
The Culture of Food is a summary of European food culture; what these cultures are, and where they came from. An example of the kind of thing Massimo Montanari talks about is how the Romans became farmers. Because they had an urban civilisation they were forced into creating an agricultural economy because that’s the only way you can really feed a city.
