From the aromas of medieval feasts and the bustling streets of the Renaissance to the splendor of the Ritz and the sophistication of modern restaurants, renowned historian Loïc Bienassy will guide you through the key eras of French gastronomy, which has become a benchmark for gourmets worldwide.

You'll discover what medieval dishes tasted like, how Marie-Antoine Carême created his architectural desserts, and how Auguste Escoffier forever changed the concept of haute cuisine. You'll learn to distinguish tartes from tourtes, pâtés from pâtés, and even try making them. You'll experience the lives of European sovereigns, flamboyant poets, bureaucrats, workers, students, courtesans, and the poor through their taste buds. This book debunks all the myths and legends surrounding French cuisine, and its history is told without embellishment—perhaps with a touch of humor.

Taste art and enjoy its history – the history of French gastronomy!
