The Physiology of Taste: Or Meditations on Transcendental

The Physiology of Taste: Or Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy with Recipes (Vintage Classics)

A delightful and hilarious classic about the joys of the table, The Physiology of Taste is the most famous book about food ever written. First published in France in 1825 and continuously in print ever since, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarinâ€™s masterpiece is a historical, philosophical, and epicurean collection of recipes, reflections, and anecdotes on everything and anything gastronomical. Brillat-Savarinâ€”who famously stated â€œTell me what you eat and I shall tell you what you areâ€â€”shrewdly expounds upon culinary matters that still resonate today, from the rise of the destination restaurant to matters of diet and weight, and in M. F. K. Fisher, whose commentary is both brilliant and amusing, he has an editor with a sensitivity and wit to match his own.
