Art, culture, and cuisine

"In Art, Culture, and Cuisine, Phyllis Pray Bober examines cooking through the dual lens of archaeology and art history. Bober seeks to understand the minds and hearts of those who practiced cookery or consumed it as reflected in the visual art of the time."--BOOK JACKET. "Art, Culture, and Cuisine describes prehistoric eating in ancient Turkey; traditions of the great civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome: and rituals of the Middle Ages and the "Late Gothic International" period. To satisfy the adventurous reader, Bober has included old menus and recipes with contemporary adaptations."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: FOR ALL LIVING CREATURES, including plants, drives to feed and to reproduce are inborn imperatives for survival not only of the self, but of the species.
