From The Economist print edition
WHAT reader could resist so delicious a topic: a book that sets out to
explain how cuisine came to be so deeply ingrained in France's
cultural and intellectual make-up? Unfortunately, little of this
hard-to-digest work concerns the actual history of French cuisine and
how it came to "triumph". Much of it seems aimed at embedding the
subject in a sociological framework to prove that food is worthy of
academic study. Accordingly, it piles on the jargon, including
sentences such as: "The cluster of activities that surround cooking
and eating stakes out culinarity as a privileged entry into the social
order."
