Food in Motion, Migration of Foodstuffs and Techniques

Proceedings of the Oxford Symposium on Food and Cookery 1983

by Edited by Alan Davidson, Diplomat and Food Historian, (1924-2003)

This early volume in the Oxford Symposium concentrates on the migration of ingredient and technique diasporas and can be seen as a precursor to a slew of popular books in the "single food biography" genre (e.g. Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky or Sweetness and Power: The Place of Sugar in Modern Historyby Sidney Mintz) that started to appear at the end of the 20th-century.
