culinary history
Cuisine through time
Culinary history is the study of how food, cooking techniques, and eating practices have developed across time and cultures.
It examines what people ate, how they prepared it, and what food meant socially and economically: Her research in culinary history traces the tomato's journey from Aztec gardens to Italian kitchens.
The field draws on archaeology, written records, and material culture.
